Thunderbird auto-updated on me the other day, and stopped communicating with my ISP's mail server. I spent a lot of time chasing down the problem and working around it until the ISP can update their TLS version.

Figured I'd pass the info along.

NONE of this worked for me yesterday, I had to reinstall 68.12.1 and because they CHANGED so much crap, my Address Book is Gone as well as the mail I sent, it only took 20 hours to download all the old mail from my server, which was Required before I could use it again. Updates are turned OFF.

I might just go back to Outlook if they continue to allow Children to write Code without ADULT SUPERVISION!!@!

Thanks for that update. My post yesterday dealt with only one problem (so far), moving open tabs to the top. See the link below for how that was resolved and other problems that were commented on.

Email SMTP hadn’t been invented in 78.

I noticed they changed the editor, but big deal, it’s still the best mail client for Windows, by far.

Just checked my version number. It’s 68.10.0 but I run Ubuntu and Thunderbird updates via the Ubuntu software repositories. If it ever screws up I’ll just use Evolution for everything. I use it for a few email accounts already that are associated with my own domain names.

Thanks for the info
