I sadly have to agree. The damned thing struggles with a handful of basic stuff, it still has a config UI of which you can't tell head from tail, complete with teeth and whiskers and even a full "about:config" panel à la Firefox hidden underneath. Spell checker. Calendar. Chat client. Complete web-browser internals, with grindy disk-caching. To add insult to injury, the macOS bundle is half a fxxxing GiB in size (universal flavor, but still).

replyThis is downvoted but needs to be said.
Thunderbird was an amazing 90's style piece of software that has unfortunately been been changed into a more "modern" look, with excessive white space and power-user hostile work flows.
replyIt was near perfect, just needed better search, pretty much.
I liked the old style, too. Nevertheless there is View → Density → Compact / Default / Relaxed.
replyExactly. It used to be good and they're making it worse every day.
reply“90s style” seems to be a compliment in some posts and a negative in others.
replyVery likely user’s age perspective.
It’s absolutely correct though.
What did you switch to?
