+Thunderbird 91 is a Major Upgrade That Could Help Reclaim its Position as the Default Linux Mail Client
+======
+
+Thunderbird, the popular open-source email client, has a major new upgrade. Thunderbird 91 release promises many improvements, some of which we will be looking at here.
+
+Overall, the release focuses on adding import/export support for Thunderbird profiles, various user-interface improvements, improved Gmail account integration, improved calendar settings, tons of bug fixes, and smaller improvements.
+
+Read on for a look at all these new features and more.
+
+### What’s New?
+
+![][1]
+
+After more than a year of development since Thunderbird 78, Thunderbird 91 has a lot to offer. With various new features and bug fixes, this release will benefit almost everyone who uses it.
+
+These new features include:
+
+  * UI improvements to Calendar display
+  * UI improvements to message compose window and message composer
+  * Updated printing UI
+  * Brand-new account setup wizard
+  * The ability to Import/Export Thunderbird profiles
+  * Suggesting replacements for discontinued/incompatible add-ons
+  * Fixes for visibility issues in dark mode and high contrast themes
+  * Beta-level support for Matrix servers (chat feature)
+  * CardDAV address book support
+  * Enable redirect of messages
+
+
+
+Between the UI and usability improvements, this release is looking to be a great one.
+
+#### UI Improvements
+
+Thunderbird 91 brings multiple UI improvements to the table. It may not be a major visual overhaul, but some adjustments focus on improved accessibility.
+
+Especially with the calendar supporting .ics files by double-click and remote calendar auto-detection. You will also notice a new UI for adding attachments.
+
+Finally, users of Dark mode will notice the fixes for the many visibility issues that plagued older releases.
+
+#### Improved Account Setup Wizard
+
+![][2]
+
+This release moves the account setup wizard to a new tab.
+
+Unlike the old one, the new one follows the same design guidelines used in the settings page and other HTML-based parts of the application.
+
+Better still, it can automatically detect CalDAV calendars, email signatures, and the ability to connect to an address book during setup. Furthermore, if you are adding a Gmail account, it will ask for permission to access the calendar and address book. Once done, you will not have to re-authorize it.
+
+This makes the process of getting set up with Thunderbird much more enjoyable, especially when you are also trying to set up calendars and address books.
+
+#### Other Improvements
+
+Considering this as a major upgrade, there are several subtle changes and improvements across the board.
+
+Some of them include the ability to encrypt mail to BCC recipients, a quick-find feature for the multi-message view, and per-calendar notification settings.
+
+For more information on all the technical changes, you can refer to the [official release notes][3].
+
+### Download Thunderbird 91
+
+You can get the latest Thunderbird from the [official download page][4] (it may take a while for them to make it available). Also, it would take time to make the update available through repositories/Flathub.
+
+If you want to avoid waiting, you can directly grab the tar package from their [FTP directory][5], extract it, and run the executable file to get started.
+
+[Mozilla Thunderbird 91][4]
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+Considering that many Linux distributions have been switching over to the “Evolution” mail client replacing Thunderbird, this was a much-needed upgrade for users who prefer Thunderbird to anything else.
+
+Of course, you do have the option to explore the [best email clients for Linux][6] if you still do not like Thunderbird.
