Thunderbird is my favorite e-mail program. I use this application on every computer and operating system I use. It is stable, contains all necessary functionality, supports add-ons and comes with a handy RSS reader. I have been using Thunderbird for years and have never felt the need to look for an alternative.
Thunderbird 78 no longer supports the classic XUL add-ons, but does include some of their out-of-the-box capabilities. In Windows, for example, you can minimize an application on the taskbar.
The following amendments were made to the Annex.
What happens in Thunderbird 78.7.
New and updated API extension
- New API extensions : Link API now allows you to edit posts and templates as new posts
