Can't wait for it too π
Same switched to K-9 some monthes ago to get thunderbird, but it still hasn't happend.
The layout change is awesome! The old ΓΆayout was really meant for 4:3 screens with lots of vertical height. It was uncomfortable to use on 16:9 screens in my opinion.
Is there a way to get Thunderbird to use Markdown for message formatting? I haven't been able to find any email client that can do it and it would get me to switch in a heartbeat
If I had to guess, this functionality would only be available through an extension.
I gave it a quick search and there seem to be a lot of options. I've never tried any of them, but downloading thunderbird and seeing if any of those meet your needs would be a good starting point.
It really does look great. Maybe itβs time to revisit a desktop client.
Iβve wanted so hard to switch to thunderbird completely. My email is outlook and has the Authenticator set up for login, which has caused me issues adding my inbox. I found an add on but it had a few that I think was monthly.

I am not familiar with outlook but this might be help
Thanks for replying, I ended up figuring this out like two days ago. Turns out you have to generate an app password from the security options on Microsoftβs website.
I think thats one option, the OAuth way explained in the link should be the more modern one.
Thanks Iβll take a look at it.
Would app passwords work?
When it gets to signing in it fails and when I set it up with exchange it wants a paid add on. I think it had something to do with an owl. It was a couple months ago.
Awesome!
It looks like a mailspring copy paste interface
The only thing the same is the layout, and I don't think mailspring owns the layout of Options -> Emails -> Open Emails. In fact in my experience, thats the most common layout for email clients to use on desktop devices.
It looks nice. I haven't used an email client in years, but I might give this a try.
My company uses Gmail, and I have a Mac at work, so I'm currently using the default Mail app, which I really don't like. I've tried Thunderbird so many times in the past and always found it just a bit too hard to use smoothly, so I am super excited to install Thunderbird again tomorrow and see the improvements.
I like new design. Finally TB entered modern era with conversations etc.
For Linux people who don't want to deal with tar install and setting up *.desktop, you can use python script here https://github.com/fromSmolsoft/tb_install and install it automatically from official sources. It worked for me on Mint xfce.
The last update for pre 10 windows systems.
Very nice. Might just give it a try. Just tried KMail and while it works, this looks a lot better.
