AskWoody PlusI don’t know anything about this app.
Runs on Windows, MacOs and Linux.
Why Betterbird?
Betterbird aims at providing a better user experience by fixing annoying bugs in Thunderbird and implementing new features. We will submit all changes to upstream to eventually benefit Thunderbird. So far, Thunderbird has accepted these changes recently with more pending acceptance.
Is Betterbird for me?
If you like Thunderbird but are discouraged by too many bugs, then give Betterbird a try. It is 100% compatible with Thunderbird’s ESR version. You can install the same dot release of Thunderbird in parallel and switch between Betterbird and Thunderbird on the same profile without problems and without needing the -allow-downgrade command line switch.
Will my add-ons work?
Yes, what runs in Thunderbird will run in Betterbird, you can install add-ons directly in-product from addons.thunderbird.net.
Who is behind Betterbird?
Betterbird is headed by Thunderbird’s former maintainer who has been joined by a group of people who share the view that users deserve a better experience and who do not agree with the approach of the Thunderbird management.
Release Notes (Windows. Based on Thunderbird 102.1.1)
Betterbird is a fine-tuned version of Mozilla Thunderbird, Thunderbird on steroids, if you will.
Betterbird is better than Thunderbird in three ways: It contains new features exclusive to Betterbird, it contains bug fixes exclusive to Betterbird and it contains fixes that Thunderbird may ship at a later stage. Please refer to this feature table for examples. This should give you an impression of where the project is headed. ..

GuestI tried Betterbird (portable version). It worked fine, but the maintainer was difficult to work with when I had questions. The extra bug fixes were not worth the hassle of dealing with them, so I switched back to Thunderbird Portable.

AskWoody PlusThunderbird 102.3.2 is a big bug fix release
..Thunderbird 102.3.2 is a bug fix update that addresses more than a dozen issues in the email program.
Thunderbird 102.3.2 is a bug fix update only. It does not include security patches. The official release notes on the Thunderbird website lists one change and more than a dozen fixes.
According to the changelog, Thunderbird attempts to use POP CRAM-MD5 authentication even if the server is not advertising support for the feature.
The new update for the email client makes several important changes. One of the bigger fixes addresses a deadlock when checking for POP3 messages on servers. If the mail server “was slow or non-responsive”, it could result in the locking of the POP3 folder.
The team of engineers addressed a hang issue in Thunderbird, which occurred when events after the year 2035 were added to the Calendar. Speaking of Calendar improvements. several Calendar specific issues are fixed or improved in the new release..
Other changes in the new Thunderbird release include fixing a CardDAV server sync issue, missing contacts from LDAP on macOS address books, and several chat related fixes…

AskWoody PlusImportant: Thunderbird 102.7.0 And Microsoft 365 Enterprise Users
Update on January 20th:
Thunderbird 102.7.0 was scheduled to be released on Wednesday, January 18, but we decided to hold the release because of an issue detected which affects authentication of Microsoft 365 Business accounts.
A solution to the authentication issue will ship with version 102.7.1, releasing during the week of January 23. Version 102.7.0 is now available for manual download only, to allow unaffected users to choose to update and benefit from the fixes it delivers.
Please note that automatic updates are currently disabled, and users of Microsoft 365 Business are cautioned to not update.
Users who update and encounter difficulty can simply reinstall 102.6.1. Thunderbird should automatically detect your existing profile. However, you can launch the Profile Manager if needed by following these instructions…
