I am not sure if that problem that you describe indeed has anything to do with what apparently got screwed up with the 102 update. And therefore it would be very unusual even for a programming error to affect what is stored on the imap server.Īnd in the particular case of Thunderbird version 102, the messages on the imap server are unaffected. For the average user, including probably the vast majority of users who often doesn't back up their computer, imap is by far the safest choice.Ĭhanges a message on your local computer don't get propogated to the imap server unless you took a specific action on the messages. And this is the first time they screwed up as big as this time (and there are stupid issues in Firefox 102 as well).Īnd as I mentioned in another post, nobody should be using IMAP anymore, but unfortunately, depending on what exactly what screwed up (again, I did not lose any emails myself!), there is the possibility that the IMAP sync propagates back to the server and thus you might be screwed without having a recent backup. Not certain about the "places" thing yet, but at least the color scheme of the icons in the folder pane (and a couple other places) do have improved readability, a I switched to TBird when Eudora went under, and it is the best option out there. PS: Yes, there is also some good with the new 102 update.

So when can we expect an update that fixes all this mess and we can get back to doing our work, rather than trying to fix all those annoyances? With several hundred folders, over all my email accounts (pretty much all but one GMail accounts), this is a huge hassle, as on first time access, I have to change the sort order again (commonly by date, newest one first).Īnd also incredibly annoying is that TB102 seems to ignore previously set (and working!) filters and at least some of them are not being applied! I do have a lot of them, as I move pretty much 95% of my incoming emails automatically in one of those many subfolders. On those accounts that DO expand in the folder pane, when clicking on the inbox or any of the (many) folders, pretty much all of them have lost the sort order in which messages are supposed to be displayed. Not sure if this forced reloading of the emails is causing this, but TB 102 is becoming repeatedly unresponsive, to the point where I have to leave one host alone, let it do its things, and temporarily check the email (or write one) on another system. But TB seems to be eagerly redownloading all my emails (not only headers) on all accounts! They don't show the caret that would allow for expanding, so I can actually see the inbox and all my subfolders (there are a lot of them!). I do have up to 7 different email accounts, and one or two of them become pretty much inaccessible after the upgrade. On all hosts (though a little random), not all of my previous accounts are properly expanding in the folder pane. With a lot of issue in the aftermath.īeside the update crashing on reboot on some hosts, the 102 update doesn't seem to have been properly tested. Sorry, but the recent update of Thunderbird 102 is turning for me more and more into an unmitigated disaster.įor one, the web site says that 102 is a standalone download, yet, all my hosts have downloaded and installed on reboot the update from 91 to 102.
