Get access to your email with one of the easiest to use Windows apps available today.

According to the release notes, Thunderbird version 78.2.2 is only offered as a direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 68 or earlier. A future version will include updates from earlier versions. Automatic updates are available for users who are already running version 78.0 or higher.

If you like the convenience of mail in the cloud but prefer a dedicated email client, then this one is for you. Mozilla has one of the best compromises available. Thunderbird for Windows is one of the best email clients and it has all of the benefits of one of the best browsers in the world.

Mozilla Thunderbird's Mail Account Setup Wizard helps you quickly and easily setup access to your mail accounts. Prior to this feature being here, you had to know your IMAP, SMTP, and SSL/TLS settings. Now all you need to provide is your name, email address, and password. Once entered, the email account set up wizardry will check our database and find the email settings for you. Moments later, you have access to your mail account.

  1. Until the app developer has fixed the problem, try using an older version of the app. If you need a rollback of Thunderbird, check out the app's version history on Uptodown. It includes all the file versions available to download off Uptodown for that app. Download rollbacks of Thunderbird for Mac.
  2. Why Force Thunderbird to Download All Messages? Because Thunderbird only downloads recent emails. Issues of corruption in the database. Fragmentation issues in the global database. Cannot download any previously downloaded but deleted emails. Need of having a hard copy of emails after deletion from server to save storage.
  3. Note: If you are having trouble and calendar is missing, first see calendar update issues, because after Thunderbird 52 Lightning is built-in (bundled with Thunderbird) and you should not need to download the extension. But if you are running Thunderbird version 45 or older use a download link below. Lightning Development Snapshots.

If you've used Firefox, Thunderbird will be familiar to you, as the interfaces are similar – both are tabbed. The user experience is similar and users of one will find it easy to use the other. In fact, the user experience across all Mozilla apps are similar, and users on any platform will be instantly at home. Double clicking on any individual message will open it. You can keep multiple emails open at one time, without cluttering up your screen. A tab menu on the Tab toolbar helps you switch between tabs. When you exit Thunderbird, open tabs will be saved; and will be restored when you reopen Thunderbird.

Conclusion: Thunderbird is simple and easy to use. Once installed, keeping it up to date is easy, as updates are automatically pushed to your PC. With its One Click address book you can easily add contacts from the messages you receive. The app is easy to use and offers a wealth of features that make it one of the best Windows email clients available. The fact that it's free just makes this a no brainer.

[German]Short information for users of the Thunderbird e-mail client. The developers have released the auto-update for older 68 versions, which will upgrade them to the current 78.x version. Here is a short outline of the situation and some voices with hints what there is to know.

The Thunderbird developers had previously blocked the update from version 68.x to the 78 development branch, as I noted in the article Thunderbird 78.2.2 released. There it said:

According to the release notes, Thunderbird version 78.2.2 is only offered as a direct download from thunderbird.net and not as an upgrade from Thunderbird version 68 or earlier. A future version will include updates from earlier versions. Automatic updates are available for users who are already running version 78.0 or higher.

This has changed, users with Thunderbird 68.x will now be updated to version 78.x via its update function. I was offered the update, but I haven't had it installed yet. And it was already mentioned in the German comments here: :

Well, I'm still using version 68.12.0 and the 78.2.2 is offered for installation in the About-Box ('About Thunderbird' in the 'Help' menu).
That shouldn't be according to the release note, right?
Hmmm…

The explanation can also be found in the German comments here in the blog:

@Peter
Yes, but it is already right! The programmers of 'Enigmail' just wanted to make sure that Thunderbird supports GPG, which is the case since version 78.2.1.
Today I also updated to version 78.2.2 'About Thunderbird', immediately I was offered to migrate the keys from 'Enigmail' to 'Thunderbird' and removed 'Enigmail' from the add-ons(bye, bye and thanks for the fish).
So far everything seems to work and minimizing to the tray works without any extra program again(4t) :-)

The colleagues of deskmodder.de also point out this change in this German article. But I guess it is not without criticism. In the comments on deskmodder.de there are hints to problems with addons which are not compatible. And on Twitter Patrick said the following:

Mozilla Thunderbird For Windows 10 64 Bit

With the update from #Thunderbird 68 to 78.2.2 the telemetry data acquisition of @mozilla will be activated without further inquiry, although the German text in the settings allows the choice.

After the update from #Thunderbird 68 to 78.2.2 a user now has to click 4x in a menu to send an encrypted e-mail with digital signature and without sending the public key to an existing communication partner. :(

So check before an update whether you are possibly affected by the noted facts.
