Thunderbird 78.5.1 is now available for download. This is a maintenance release of the popular email app which includes one new feature and a load of fixes.
Advertisеment
Thunderbird is my preferred email client of choice. I use this app on every PC and on every operating system I use. It is stable, contains all the features you need, supports add-ons and also comes with a useful RSS reader. I am using Thunderbird for many years and never felt the need to look for an alternative.
Thunderbird 78 doesn't support classic XUL add-ons any more, but includes some of their features natively. E.g. on Windows you can minimize the app to the system tray.
The following changes have been made in versions 78.5.1

Is it just me or does Thunderbird 78 onward have a regression bug whereby it triggers the new mail notification sound for junk?
