Hallo,
here the link for manually sort folders, for everyone who is looking for it.

https://github.com/protz/Manually-Sort-Folders/files/12089722/Manually-Sort-Folders-v3.2.zip

But it is still beta.

Thanks for posting that download link, @catweazel. Actually that has been available for over two months now, and John is still working on the files (a couple of us here are on his mailing list), but it's frustrating, because the TB developers keep fiddling with the folder and account order-settings, and just when he had the 3.2 version working quite well with 115, they broke it in the 116 and later betas. I've been running 118.0beta2 for a while, after I ran several previous post-115 betas, and 3.2 won't work at all with any of those.

Hello,
with me v. 115.2.0 it works, except when I display the folder size and number of emails, they are gone when I restart TB, I hope there is something else.

@catweazel

Yup. Manually Sort 3.2 works just fine in all versions of 115 so far, and John B. is very aware of the problem of the counters disappearing after a restart. He's looking at that, too.

I just meant that 3.2 doesn't work on any of the betas that come after 115. I've run 116.x, 117.x, and 118.x, and none of them will run 3.2.

Been using Thunderbird for many years . Works great . I pull email from 4 different servers from Yahoo, Aol, Netscape .
Works great on Windows 11 Pro , Also have it running fine on Zorin OS (Linux) pulling from those same servers .
the Linux version has a few of the functions in different areas on the screen than the Windows version . Filter feature works fine if you use that kind of thing .

Just updated to version 118.0b6.

ltsnow · Sep 26, 2023

119.0beta is now availabe and everything looks OK even my 3 extesnsions. I did change the manifest files on all of them to "strict_max_version": "119.*" and that may have made them all work.

Thunderbird 115.4

Thanks, @Josey Wales.

After repeated unsuccessful attempts to get the update this morning through the app-internal updater (they must be rolling it out in some geography-dependent way), I downloaded the .exe from the Releases pages (Directory Listing: /pub/thunderbird/releases/), used my amazing copy of Universal Extractor 2 (GitHub - Bioruebe/UniExtract2: Universal Extractor 2 is a tool to extract files from any type of archive or installer.) to remove the core files from the installer, pasted them into my Thunderbird Portable\App\Thunderbird64 folder, and was up and running with 115.4 Portable in under a minute. Yeah!

Hi folks

after the last time I tried Thunderbird it was on its knees and about to be dropped. Current developers must be given credit for reviving it and making this a great FREE email client without all the B/S of having to pay for more than 1 account, being able to use exchange servers, hassle in setting up private email servers that don't appear in databases so endless problems with "Automatic set up" options with no manual settings.

It works very well now -- but the config still needs work as to get it "just right" -- a lot of the configuration options are either hidden or not easily accessible at all.

So for User --- 9/10, for set up still only around 6/10 but it does work and if you are using a non windows machine it saves having to logon o a Windows VM to use Ms Office outlook or similar. Interface on both Windows and Linux is identical and it works perfectly on latest insider builds of W11.

Cheers
jimbo

MS Outlook don't add Yahoo email accounts but Thunderbird does.

Well, this user is in that "less than 1%." I've read somewhere that they're doing quite well on that "less than 1%" income. Can't remember where, dangit.

Edwin · Nov 21, 2023

I'd be interested to see it come to fruition!

Thunderbird 115.5.0 released tonight.

ltsnow · Nov 22, 2023

121.0b1 released and everything keeps working fine. This build has a lot of fixes. Everytime the version number changes e.g. 120-121 all I have to do is change the "strict_max_version" in the manifest.json for my 3 extensions and they keep working A-OK.
