> Ability to change order of accounts in UI

I was always perplexed when I had to change the ordering of my accounts and still had to do it manually by editing the configuration after all these years. A big improvement for sure!

Congrats for moving to E11s!

Who are the current team behind Thunderbird? Are they former/current Mozillians, sparing their free time?

CardDAV address book support

Although it's sad that this will replace the plugins that provide this feature, it's good to see support built into the core and a continued investment in implementing standards.

An email client in this day and age does not receive the attention a web browser does, but Thunderbird has been a steady companion to me over many, many years. Thanks, dev team!

It seems that its being managed by a subsidiary of Mozilla, MZLA Technologies Corporation: https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozilla-moves-to-monetize-thun....

Apparently they are hiring: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/careers/#apply

I would like to give thanks for building and supporting Thunderbird. I recently found Migadu at the top of HN and decided to give it a go. Now I'm using Thunderbird on all of my OSs (aside from iOS). I wish I could support it financially, but I'm still a student and not loaded with cash.

Can someone explain what the deal with 91 is? I'm on 78, and no updates are found.

On the submission's web site there is "Thunderbird version 91.0 is only offered as direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 78 or earlier."

Why is that? Is upgrading safe?

And thunderbird.net only offers me 78, anyway.

Updates are delayed to give add-on developers time to update their add-ons to be compatible with Thunderbird 91 if changes are necessary.
