Hey,
My thunderbird client(s) just got updated to version 115, with the new UI. Personally, I dislike it, and find it disruptive to have all my toolbars moved.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to revert to the old, pre ver 115 appearance?
Thanks, – Pat
On the other side, is it possible to upgrade to the newer UI?
What version do you use? Flatpak took forever but has it for a long time now. Their binary of course, but who wants that.
Or get an Arch distrobox and use that, or whatever. Maybe your system repos? Are you on Debian or something?
I’m just using the default provided binary for windows 🤷
You need to update manually for some reason. The exe from their website
Its fancy and all, but to this day a downgrade
- search filters where there before
- filters (for deleting or sorting) have only one level now? No if (a + b) or (c + d) anymore
- Thunderbird Conversations is broken, which is horrible
- stupid useless sidebar with no purpose but to open tabs? (Butter Robot meme here)
The rest is nice though.
- conversations working perfectly now for me, they fixed it
- hiding the left sidebar is literally one click at the bottom left corner, and it will never show up again. I don’t use it on my desktop, but on my lower resolution smaller laptop screen its useful, as it uses less screen space than tabs, I usually close all tabs there except one.
- I use some filters but maybe not as much as you, but for my use case I haven’t noticed a downgrade, search works and I can usually find what I want, or at least search hasn’t changed.
Nice Conversations fixed?
The sidebar has no purpose. If you could remove the tabbar and have every tab, even without an icon, in there, it would have.
The filters where better some time in the past, the rest has not gotten better, and also not very much different how they sell it. Its still two searches, a universal search was there before. But the UI is way better
