https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/new-thunderbird/m-p/40793#M14725 <P>I am afraid that I am not at all happy with the new version of Thunderbird. It may be that as I get used to it I will find some of the new features helpful, but right now I am more concerned about what was taken away that was helpful:</P><P>a) I keep getting 'not responding' -- especially when trying to set my theme 'yet again (and again, and again)!!!! I am mostly shut-in due to illness and the themes make a difference emotionally compared to a stark 'black and white'. Furthermore, what is the point of having TB themes when they don't hold -- I often have to re-set mine several times a day</P><P>b) tabs are now hidden -- I need to colour-code messages so I know which I need to get back to soon or can wait. Having them hidden under that new right arrow makes extra steps to do so</P><P>c) the row of custom colours no longer hold: what is the point of being able set a row of custom colour if they don't hold!!! I used different colours to indicate different responses in a thread -- thereby having an immediate way to see the order of responses.</P><P>d) I need layers of sub-folders -- often to add a new name to a group I belong to, or a new year. I have been asking again and again over several years for the ability to create a new sub-folder WHILE one is moving an email from the inbox to a folder or sub-folder. Having to 'go' to the folder first, make a new sub-subfolder, return to the inbox, and then move the email is an unnecessary waste of time.</P><P>e) 'a picture says a thousand words' -- emojs are so useful in this way, especially when one is tired or can't think of the right words to say. This feature was taken away years ago, and I wish that TB would bring it back. The minimal 'yellow faces' are minimal useful.</P><P>I am not techy enough to really understand what you have written below - what is a 'message context menu' and 'mock-ups'. However, it seems to me that the TB functons (at least the ones that I need) are getting less and less useful and increasing 'cognitive burden'.</P><P>Sorry to be so negative, but I do wonder who TB is trying to please/appease -- it is not this user.</P><P>Blessings</P> Mon, 02 Oct 2023 19:45:35 GMT Pashta 2023-10-02T19:45:35Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/new-thunderbird/m-p/40793#M14725 <P>I am afraid that I am not at all happy with the new version of Thunderbird.
