Thunderbird 147 Introduces “Show Full Path” Option for Enhanced Compact View in Folder Pane

After the recent release of Firefox 147, Mozilla has now launched Thunderbird 147, the latest stable version of its open-source email client, which also includes features for chat, address book, calendar, and news functionalities.

Key updates in Thunderbird 147 include the introduction of a "Show Full Path" option in the folder pane for compact view modes. Additionally, a new mail.useLocalizedFolderNames setting allows users to toggle the localization of special folder names, improving accessibility for various user sets. This version also supports localization for special folders based on a specific set of names.

Several enhancements have been made to address various bugs, improving the usability of features such as compacting multiple folders, resetting manual folder sorting for subfolders, and managing folders with complicated hierarchies and lengthy names. Resolutions include better handling of saved search/virtual folders within IMAP, improvement of the OpenPGP-signed messages option, and enhancements to the “Search Messages” feature.

Furthermore, the update fixes several critical issues: it resolves a problem that prevented the display of selected status and priority during searches, and addresses crashes that occurred when setting up exchange address accounts. Other bug fixes have improved the inbox experience, such as better message filter creation for Japanese users and addressing SMTP sending issues when multiple messages are queued.

Visual and user experience enhancements accompany these updates, alongside various security fixes. Users are encouraged to check the release notes for detailed changes and may download Thunderbird 147 from the official website for 64-bit systems or as a source tarball.
