Here Are 7 of Them +====== + +Thunderbird is undoubtedly one of the [best email clients for Linux][1]. + +It is an open-source offering from Mozilla Foundation and a reliable email client with robust features. + +With the [recent updates][2], it has received some visual improvements along with feature additions. + +Now, with the upcoming **Thunderbird 102** release, it is adding more exciting things to its feature set. + +In a [Twitter thread][3], Thunderbird shared all about it. Let me mention the key highlights here. + +### Thunderbird 102: What’s New? + +Thunderbird 102 will be a major upgrade with several useful additions, [targeted for release][4] on 28 June 2022. Some of them include: + + * Spaces toolbar + * New Address Book + * Matrix Support + * Link Preview Cards + * Account Setup Hub + * Import/Export + * Message Header Redesign + + + +While that sounds great, here are some more details regarding the changes: + +#### 1\. Spaces Toolbar + +The new Spaces Toolbar helps you keep a variety of activities separate in the form of icons in the left sidebar. + +![][5] + +It will be easier to navigate and manage multiple tabs within the email client. + +You can also collapse the toolbar and have it show up as an icon in the tab-bar, saving you some screen space. + +![][6] + +#### 2\. New Address Book + +![][7] + +The new look of the address book should help you easily find your contacts and interact with them. + +The overall layout of the contact information looks more accessible, giving you all the details you need to know, and should provide a good user experience. + +#### 3\. Matrix Support + +Matrix is a popular decentralized open-source chat protocol. So, with Thunderbird 102, you will be able to use the Matrix chat feature out-of-the-box easily. + +Initially, it was only available as an experimental feature in beta versions. + +You should expect further refinements to it in the future. + +#### 4\. Link Preview Cards + +![][8] + +Link Preview helps to improve the user experience by providing a glimpse of what to expect in the link. + +And, with a straightforward email client like Thunderbird, I never expected it to be a thing until now. + +Whenever you add a link in the email composer, you can choose to convert it into a rich link preview. + +#### 5\. Account Setup Hub + +![][9] + +It is incredibly important to have an easy setup process for any service/app. + +Thunderbird 102 improves the experience for all the account setup functions, like adding an account, managing the calendar, importing profiles, and more. + +#### 6\. Import/Export Feature by Default + +As of now, you will have to rely on an add-on to import/export profile data. + +With Thunderbird 102, the import/export functionality will be available out-of-the-box without requiring an add-on. + +#### 7\. Message Header Redesign + +The header/subject of the email has received subtle upgrades to highlight the important info better and make it responsive while navigating. + +![][10] + +#### Other Changes + +In addition to the key highlights, you can expect numerous technical improvements and bug fixes. + +For instance, the UX/UI for OpenPGP is also getting an upgrade along with a new storage format, i.e., Maildir. + +_What do you think of the upcoming feature additions to Thunderbird 102?
