The newest release is visually awful. It drove me crazy and I had to downgrade back to the last stable (102). The content density was wildly inconsistent and text would be squished in one area and really spaced out in another. The toolbar moved so action buttons were in the title bar area, away from where your mouse would be (compared to before) if you’re interacting with your inbox.

Other than that, the old version works just fine. Multiple email accounts, calendar and contacts. It does the job. Minor nitpicks, like dark mode doesn’t dark evwrything, you still have to manually change your reading window colours. But at least it’s once and done.

I’m finding it to be very slow too. I move messages from my Gmail inbox to folders on Gmail with it, and it used to take a second or two with occasional slowdowns, but now it almost always takes 5 -10 seconds. Everything seems slower.

The UI is customizable so you can increase or decrease the density of text. I personally like my text dense, but the important thing is that it’s a simple settings option to change.

I also love the new layout, but I think with any UI refresh, there will be people who would hate it even if it was just objectively better.

Thunderbird’s current state is the best it’s ever been

The problem is the inconsistency. The new UI has it so that the inbox is way more dense than the folders, no matter which density level you choosem
