Help us keep the project alive Donate & Download. There are more but that should give you an idea of how poorly tested this release was. Thunderbird is independent, free, and Open Source software sustained by your donations. Sometimes, after selecting 'Empty Trash' from the File menubar (when it had least one email), 'Compact Folders' apparently does not free up the deleted file space, at least there is no message in the status line. Similarly, when clicking a header, sometimes the Delete and Junk toolbar buttons are disabled, again no pattern to this bug.ģ. No rhyme or reason to this, just happens randomly AFAIK.Ģ. When clicking on an email header and viewing its contents in the bottom, sometimes it stays in bold and the 'unread' icon doesn't change. However, Mozilla is open to donations in order to keep improving the app. You can use it for personal and commercial use. For background, my email screen is split in half: top half is the list of email headers in the current folder, bottom half shows the beginning of the selected email in the list.ġ. Yes, Mozilla Thunderbird is free and open source.
I put my wife (a total non-techie) on Thunderbird and she wants to divorce me after this version auto-installed on her laptop. The QA on this version was pathetic, I've never seen a Mozilla release with so many bugs! I've been a software developer since the 70's and have seen everything, this is in the bottom 10%.
