Comment:
What’s New
new
When writing a message, a delete button now allows the removal of a
recipient. This delete button is displayed when hovering the To/Cc/Bcc
selector.
new
Many improvements to attachments handling during compose: Attachments
can now be reordered using a dialog, keyboard shortcuts, or drag and drop.
The "Attach" button moved to the right to be above the attachment pane.
The access key of the attachment pane (e.g. Alt+M, may vary depending on
localization, Ctrl+M on Mac) now also works to show or hide the pane. The
attachment pane can also be shown initially when composing a new message.
Right-click on the header to enable this option. Hiding a non-empty
attachment pane will now show a placeholder paperclip to indicate the
presence of attachments and avoid sending them accidentally.
new
"Edit Template" command. This also solves various problems when saving
as template (duplicates created, message ID lost).
new
"New Message from Template" command
new
Allow changing the Spellcheck Language from status bar
new
Light and Dark themes
new
WebExtension themes are now enabled in Thunderbird
new
A default startup directory in the address book window can now be
configured
new
Individual feed update interval
new
An option under "Tools > Options, Advanced, General" now allows to
select whether date/time display will follow the application locale
(adjusted by operating system's format settings for that locale) or the
locale selected in the operating system's regional settings. In other
words, an US English Thunderbird can use, for example, German formats.
new
OAuth2 authentication for Yahoo and AOL
new
FIDO U2F support
new
Thunderbird now allows the conversion of folders from mbox to maildir
format and vice versa. This is an experimental feature that needs to be
enabled by setting the preference mail.store_conversion_enabled. Note that
this functionality does not not work if the option "Allow Windows
Search/Spotlight to search messages" is selected.
new
Calendar: Allow copying, cutting or deleting of a selected occurrence
or the entire series for recurring events
new
Calendar: Provide an option to display locations for events in
calendar day and week views
new
Calendar: Provide the ability for sending/not sending meeting
notifications directly instead of showing a popup
new
Calendar: Option to select the target calendar when pasting an event
or task
new
Calendar: Allow email scheduling for CalDAV servers supporting server-
side scheduling
new
Thunderbird Chat now contains multiple built-in message themes
changed
IMPORTANT: Add-ons not marked as compatible with Thunderbird 60 by
their authors will be disabled (this can be reverted via preference
extensions.strictCompatibility)
changed
IMAP: When after sending a message storing that sent message fails,
the message can now be stored in a local folder
changed
Add-on options can no longer be configured from the Add-on Manager
page. A new menu item "Add-on Options" is now available on the Tools menu.
changed
When messages are composed in paragraph format, "body text" and split
mail quotes are converted to paragraphs when pressing the enter key
changed
"Edit As New Message" will now use the account's default compose
format, either HTML or plain text ignoring the format of the message.
Plain text messages will be converted to HTML and vice versa. Then using
the modifier, the format choice will be reverted.
changed
The "Edit Draft" command now also honors the use of the shift key to
convert HTML to plain text or vice versa when editing a draft
changed
The plain text to HTML conversion has been improved where such a
conversion is necessary for "Edit As New Message" or when the shift
modifier is used for "Edit Draft" or "New Message from Template".
changed
During address entry, the matching part of the address is now shown in
bold. Preference mail.autoComplete.commentColumn allows to display the
address book where the address is stored.
changed
When attaching a message via drag and drop, the subject of the message
is now used as attachment name instead of "Attached Message"
changed
Better address book photo handling: Photos can be added by drag and
drop and a copy of all photos will be stored in the Thunderbird profile
changed
On first start, Thunderbird now shows the account setup dialog, no
longer the account provisioner dialog
changed
Thunderbird follows Firefox' Photon design with rectangular tabs and
many other theme improvements
changed
When customizing the From: address, Thunderbird will now use this
address for the SMTP "MAIL FROM" command. Previously the address
configured in the identity was used. The preference
mail.smtp.useSenderForSmtpMailFrom allows return to the previous behavior.
changed
Native notifications on Linux are now re-enabled
changed
Thunderbird now uses Mozilla's latest proxy technology (add-on
FoxyProxy now supported)
changed
Thunderbird now uses the latest Rust-based Mozilla technology,
including Quantum's CSS engine (based on Servo) and encoding_rs, for
displaying and encoding messages
changed
Calendar: Removal of capability to send email invitations compatible
to Outlook 2002 and earlier
changed
Calendar: Reminders on read-only calendars can now be dismissed, while
reminders for missed events will now only be displayed for writable
calendars if option "Show missed reminders for writable calendars" is
selected
changed
Thunderbird Chat: Nicknames inside of messages are colored to match
the participants list
fixed
When many Thunderbird clients or other email clients accessed the same
IMAP draft folder, messages were sometimes sent with the wrong identity.
This has been corrected and the user will be notified if none of their
identities matches the draft.
fixed
Various problems related to handling the IMAP trash folder: Under
certain circumstances the selection of the trash folder didn't persist,
for example when the name contained non-ASCII characters, or in localized
versions of Thunderbird. At times unwanted additional trash folders were
created. Selection of a trash folder didn't give immediate visual
feedback.
fixed
Shared IMAP folders not shown in subscribe dialog under some
circumstances
fixed
Messages moved between IMAP accounts were missing parts (embedded
content or attachments) under some circumstances
fixed
Improvements encoding/decoding message headers
fixed
Text in the address book card view wasn't selectable
fixed
Passwords can now contain non-ASCII characters, like international
characters, for example áäß, and symbols, for example €§
fixed
Outlook import. Note: Mail, address book and settings need to be
imported individually as "Import Everything" currently does not work.
fixed
Localised versions of Thunderbird didn't show a localised name for
Hotmail's "Deleted" folder
fixed
Contacts sidebar: Selection and context menu behavior
fixed
Better error handling for Gmail authentication to avoid re-downloading
of folders
fixed
Thunderbird used a stale cached password after user edited a saved
password
fixed
Calendar: Wrong time formatting for some time zones
fixed
Calendar: Can't copy information from event dialog for received
invitations
fixed
Various security fixes
Known Issues
unresolved
CalDav access to some servers not working. Workaround: Set preference
network.cookie.same-site.enabled to false.
