    I hope they fixed the performance as well. I have several crashes per day on debian with version 102.11.0

    When starting it I have to wait for a bit before I click anything, otherwise it crashes. It also 100%s one CPU core regularly, I don’t know if that is supposed to happen. It also sometimes does not show the content of certain emails. All that said it’s still the best mail client I’ve used so far.

    I don’t like the new logo; it looks mean. The previous logo showed a charming bird that delivered my mail, the new one portrays a bird of prey clutching a letter, it will probably bite you if you try to retrieve the letter.

    Looks very gnome. Sadly I use KDE so it still looks like a foreign object, just like Firefox. I want native app to look like native apps, is that too much to ask?

      is that too much to ask?

      Let’s say it’s a lot to ask, especially when the app also needs to be crossplatform and behave functionally the same on all platforms.

      Maybe it could be done, in theory, with a lot of work, but it’s definitely not at all an easy task, especially for a project that seemed dead and buried just a few years ago and with just a handful of volunteer devs.

      Most crossplatform apps that I can think of don’t really look like native apps in any system. I’m thinking of Chromium, VSCode, Discord, Steam etc.

      The only one I can think of right now is Whatsapp, but I’m pretty sure they actually developed three independent apps and maintain all three, for Android, iOS and Windows. They all look and feel like native apps because they are. Please tell me if I’m wrong.

      Still, you can’t expect all, or even most developers to do something like that, especially when you start including all the different DEs and themes and so on.

      I used Thubderbird about 10 minutes ago and this indeed looks amazing compared to what I remember.

      Edit; how to downgrade to the version? why still no conversation view? 😭

      Great. Downgrading deleted my profile. Thanks a lot for the constant “innovation”,gonna take me hours to set thst shit up again.

      Edit 2; no matter how frustrated you are with thunderbird, DO NOT INSTALL OUTLOOK

        If you downgrade, expect glitches with your too new profile. Obviously it’s not going to be backwards-compatible.
