I know, since I do a full system backup every Saturday, I had copies of my profiles from version 91 which made going backwards a snap.

The part I like about Tbird is that it is simple to make a backup copy of the roaming, Thunderbird folder or just the profiles folder.
Having a copy of the profiles folder backed up every couple of weeks, has got me out of trouble numerous times. .
Maybe other email clients also have this feature but Outlook 2013 certainly did not which is why that client is not used any more by me.

I came from Becky to t-bird, but there isn't any good and accessibility reasoning I used to keep with t-bird. Becky's filters are somewhat easier to use, and Becky is not free except the first 40 days, and if you wish the archive I'll make a link for you. There is a specialized help file for Becky, like Audacity, for example, which is quite comprehensive.

I probably should have noted this in my original message but, the replacement does not have to be free, if the program works well, does what I need, and is accessible, I am willing to pay for it. There does need to be a trial though, I will not pay for software without being able to try it out first.

Hi Brian,
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'join a meeting.' You join a
discord server by getting an invite link (after you click the link it
simply asks if you want to join.) There are no actual 'meetings' on
discord, unless of course there's some weird system I've never seen in
the servers I'm a part of. You just join a voice chat when everyone
else is in one, and you do that by pressing space bar on the voice
channel.
- James (gvh#4198 on discord if you want any help with it)

But it's clear exactly what it is on the release notes page.
It's simple, really, if you are not being offered an update via

anything you download is NOT a production release.
This is your doing. At least own your own choices.

Well, good luck finding
a replacement for Thunderbird, because if you are looking for a
free email client that offers comparable accessibility and
features, you will have a tough time finding one. You could
switch to the Windows 10 Mail app, but if you didn't like
Thunderbird, you will almost certainly hate, hate, hate this
email client. Your only other option would be Outlook, which of
course, isn't free, or some other paid client like Becky's
Email, which I am not familiar with. Happy searching.

Besides,
who is to blame is beside the point. Whether I saw it now by
mistakenly downloading 102 before I should have or whether I
waited until Mozilla offered it through the update channel, the
point was that I could see where Thunderbird was going and I
didn't like it, so it is time to look for something to replace it
with.
Throwing out blame was pointless and accomplished nothing.
Now can we just drop it and get back to the original question?

Hi everyone!
I recently upgraded Thunderbird to version 102 from version91 and wow! I did not like the changes at all, in fact I just finished downgrading it back to version 91.
The problem now is that I won't be getting any more updates, especially any security fixes that might come up. So now I am in the hunt for something to replace it. I don't need the kitchen sink thrown at me like Outlook does. I just need a simple and accessible email client that can do IMAP. I use GMail and want to keep my email on the server. Any recommendations?
I was also using Thunderbird's RSS capability to monitor the podcasts for new episodes to download on my Victor Reader since I have it set up for manual downloading of podcast episodes, but that is for another topic.
Thanks!
Gene...

HI, try Becky mail from http://www.rimarts.co.jp/becky.htmI came from Becky to t-bird, but there isn't any good and accessibility reasoning I used to keep with t-bird. Becky's filters are somewhat easier to use, and Becky is not free except the first 40 days, and if you wish the archive I'll make a link for you. There is a specialized help file for Becky, like Audacity, for example, which is quite comprehensive.

First there was this new Spaces button in the tab order that I would have preferred to be able to remove as I did not need it, but I could live with that.
What really did it for and caused me to go back to 91 was that the address book was completely different, so different that it wasn't a matter of just getting used to it, I found it much more difficult to manage. The simple list of contacts was gone, it was replaced with a drop down list. So I looked for options that might restore the address book to what I preferred, but could not find anything.

Maybe its the settings I use but I find that in my case I'm just the opposite. I am much more efficient with an email client than with the GMail web site. Its a pity that the old Outlook Express is no more. Although it had news group access that I didn't need, its email client was simple and easy and did everything I needed from an email client. There something called OE classic but it is completely inaccessible through a screen reader, or at least it was the last time I tried it. https://www.oeclassic.comGene...

Besides, who is to blame is beside the point. Whether I saw it now by mistakenly downloading 102 before I should have or whether I waited until Mozilla offered it through the update channel, the point was that I could see where Thunderbird was going and I didn't like it, so it is time to look for something to replace it with.
Throwing out blame was pointless and accomplished nothing.
Now can we just drop it and get back to the original question?
