Thunderbird Thanks!

WetGeek

Sincere thanks for everyone who had anythng to do with getting Thunderbird 102 into the sync this week!

As a long-time Thunderbird user, I had installed a copy of 102 in a folder I created in my /home folder as soon as it could be downloaded from their web site, but although many of the new import options worked well, there was not yet one for importing message filters, of which I've accumulated hundreds.

Now that it's in the repository, though, and being installed as the upgrade that it is, everything is totally seamless. And some minor issues I noticed in those early releases are no longer noticeable. (At least, not yet.)

Once again, thanks for doing a great job with Thunderbird this week!

Obviously, I haven't used it much since I updated this morning, but so far I love everything about it. Many of the improvements won't be immediately apparent, though, because they involve actions most current users won't notice right away, since this is an upgrade.

Things like adding a calendar, accessing a saved address book, and the much-improved import capabilities. Those won't be required for users that simply update to 102. But new users, or folks adding Thunderbird to a new machine or VM will notice them.
