So and how we progress on sunday Last week, a major update to the Mozilla email client was due to arrive this week. This Tuesday, the same company launched Firefox 91, and the firebird will also become Thunderbird 91, making the leap from 78 which is currently what is available in the majority of official repositories of the different Linux distributions. The numbering jump is not due to the importance of the new features, although they are many and interesting.
Thunderbird 91 now allows importing / exporting profiles, but what is perhaps more striking, because it enters through the eyes, is that they have renewed the interface of user. Undoubtedly, some will not like these tweaks, the same way they did when they were made in Firefox. Below you have the list with the most outstanding news that this version has introduced.
Highlights of Thunderbird 91
- Improvements in the user interface that go from the welcome screen, through the calendar and ending in the compose window and message composer. They have also updated the print screen.
- New account setup wizard.
- Ability to import / export Thunderbird profiles.
- Suggested replacement of discontinued or incompatible add-ons.
- Fixed dark mode visibility issues and high contrast themes.
- Beta level support for Matrix servers (chat feature).
- CardDAV address book support.
- Enabling message redirection.
- Message encryption.
- More information on release note.
Thunderbird 91 is now available for all supported systems from your official website. As with the browser, Linux users will download the binaries from there, but we will still have to wait a little longer for the different distributions to add the new packages as updates. Flathub and Snapcraft will arrive in the next few hours.
