Thunderbird 141 has been released as the latest stable version of the open-source cross-platform email client, which is available for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. This update introduces a new “Archive” action for email notifications, enhancing usability for users who want quick access to this feature directly from their notifications.
In addition to the new notification action, Thunderbird 141 features an updated composer window that alerts users if their configured OpenPGP key is nearing expiration.
The update includes numerous bug fixes. Key issues resolved in this version are:
- Crashes that occurred while parsing message states and starting up with POP3 accounts.
- Problems with folder sorting when manually arranging folders and incorrect behavior of the Delete button, which mistakenly removed attachments instead of messages.
- Several user interface bugs affecting macOS and Windows, such as issues with async folder creation and folder compaction failures.
Other fixes tackle problems with alphabetical ordering of newly created folders, correct retrieval of contacts during Advanced Address Book Search, issues with attachment previews in the status bar, and the behavior of the “Search Messages…” dialog.
For detailed changes, users can refer to the release notes. Thunderbird 141 is available for download as a standalone package from the official website, compatible with almost any GNU/Linux distribution without requiring installation.
