Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Hei Paul,
Extracted your below text from another thread and am wondering if you have any further comment. i have just upgraded to 115 and it looks very much the same ... though it picked up some Gmails in All Mail that I had deleted a while back!
Any special tweaks you recommend.
Cheers
Ron
I have been using Thunderbird 115 Supernova with great success since the end of July. It just required a few minor tweaks after installing it over TB 102. Nice new look.
Regards,
Paul

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Hi, Ron. Like I said earlier, the changes I have noticed are relatively minor and cosmetic. Apart from customizing some of the toolbars for purely personal reasons, the transition to Supernova was simply plug-and-play. I have experienced no surprises or whoopsies. Of course, YMMV!

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Thanks Paul.
Like you, I also just made a few tweaks to simplify the email listing's. I'm unsure if any other Eileen members have yet made the upgrade ... there are no other T'bird 115 posts as far as I can determine.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Curiosity got the better of me. I installed 115 after reading this thread. The only significant difference I see is that the filter that used to appear allowing the user to choose what messages to display is gone. (At least, I can't find it.)
I set up several custom views that allowed me to choose to display 3, 5, 10, or 30 days of email. Can that be done in 115?
Sorry for wasting bandwidth. I found my View button and it brought over my custom views.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Good one, Bob.
I was about to comment that I couldn't imagine T'bird upgrade would be a downgrade for many. I have set 105 to much the same as prior release but removing such as 'stars, priorities etc' to have a simple mail list display. Don't need all the bells and whistles as a long term retiree

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Question about text sizing ...
Both my view and send text is rather large even though I have set it at a Calibri 12 font in the Settings. How do I reduce visible size
These have no effect

I'm starting the 2nd week of a 3 week Mediterranean cruise using Apple mail on my phone and tablet. When I return home I will check ThunderBird to see if I am experiencing the same issue you describe.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
My issue of text sizing now resolved with the assistance of Thunderbird expert. It was a problem in my Settings.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Hi Ron.
Here's another vagary I found in Supernova. In the old TB, as in Firefox, the menu row occurs at the very top of the screen, but in Supernova it is the second row which I find a bit disconcerting. I have found no way to change it, yet. Do you have a fix for this?

You can install the Menu on Top add-on, or if you prefer living dangerously, apply the necessary modifications yourself - see [Tip] How to Move Menu Bar at Top in Mozilla Thunderbird.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Updated today to the latest version of Supernova 115.2.3. It added two new Local Folders, both Bin and neither added by me 
I deleted ... without additional issues it seems.
It raises the question of just how well tested and stable is this new release ...

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Just found out that I also did not receive some incoming emails which must have occurred during the upgrade.
Maybe others also have this experience.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
Found this article ... seems that my experiences are shared. I concur that a Lite version would be very useful for those who require simple email handling with Local Storage Folders.

Re: Thunderbird 115 Supernova
SOLVED
Using Windows 11, I need to view Address Book in full screen mode which then shows EDIT possibilities at the rhs ... hidden when not showing T'bird in wide screen.
Found another issue ...
I cannot add/delete/edit a contact in the Address Book. When accessing to edit the contact is then greyed out. I have made enquires at T'bird.
Tools/Address Book/Edit also fails
Any others with this problem

Editing/adding/deleting a contact works as it should for me, whether in a window or full screen mode. Tools/Address Book/Edit also works properly.
