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. + +_What is your favorite feature in Thunderbird 91?
