Still no conversation view for emails. Might have to roll up my sleeves and do it myself.
There is an extension for it -> https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail...
Not super great visually, but works ok

Re: Thunderbird 91.0
#22I really like Thunderbird and I use it as my primary personal email client. Just, where can I pay to speed up the development of this feature?

I find a proper 3 pane view to be essential in 2021
Re: Thunderbird 91.0
#23I am a bit sad that the release notes say nothing about encryption.
PGP support was (for me) the big thing about thunderbird 78. It was a bit rough around the edges (in terms of UI and extension support) but I expected it to improve with subsequent releases. Now it sounds like they did not iterate on encryption at all (apart from fixing a few bugs).
(This is from reading the release notes. I did not yet have time to test the new version.)
Shameless plug: I proposed a patch that would bring the compose UI much closer enigmail: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1669788
Re: Thunderbird 91.0
#24Can 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.
They should have done the same with Firefox Mobile... still only about 12 addons available... almost a year after release. I still use Fennec for this reason.

#25> CardDAV address book support
Finally! Until now I've always had to keep my phone and Thunderbird contacts separate. Now I can finally spend a weekend combining the two.

Re: Thunderbird 91.0
#27> "Master Password" renamed to "Primary Password" How does the term "Primary Password" describe the password which enables access to the list of credentials better than "Master Password"? Are they just entertained by the alliteration?
Master/Slave nomenclature is considered "problematic language" (because it harks back to slavery), and thus often replaced with more PC language these days. My organization had a whole "fix this nomenclature throughout the whole codebase" week (things like "black-/whitelist, master/slave, ....)

I think language matters, and de-normalizing language with a root in slavery is a good idea.

I wonder if this is moving away from master/slave terminology similar to e.g. https://www.vice.com/en/article/8x7akv/masterslave-terminolo...

I've literally never heard of a slave password.
