TB 115, Much ado about nothing
I became excited about the hype. I downloaded 115 and ran it. Two things I immediately noticed, one is the icon is different, and the other is that the UI looks almost exactly, but not quite, like the old UI. Not that this is bad, I use TB everyday on my Mac and it is my email client. But first impressions were underwhelming especially after the hype. One thing I noticed that's an improvement is that TB now recognized my Mac address book so I no longer need Card Book. Other than that it's much ado about nothing.

Your opinion is certainly appreciated. So far, most are supportive.This will continue to evolve, so I thank you for being supportive. There is a brief overview at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-thunderbird-main-window-supernova#w_2-unified-toolbar
After several weeks of use, I see little to no difference from 102 to 115 except that Contacts now work with Mac OS contacts and I no longer need CardBook. While I see the toolbar has changed ever so slightly, I couldn't tell you the difference from 102 except it's slightly easier to read and a bit more colorful. I pay yearly for Thunderbird, as I think all regular users should, but I just don't understand why you hyped up such a minor change that it's just about irrelevant. When you see a jump from 102 to 115 you expect something dramatic and a drastic improvement. It's evolutionary, and it works, but it's just no big deal and it should have been another iteration of 102. In fact, overall, it might a more of a negative than a positive, because many of the add-on's I was using no longer work on 115.

Contacts always worked in read only on a mac. Are you saying they finally made it read write?
You will not notice much on a mac, because you still have a menu. On windows it is now, when turned on, under the toolbar and tabs look like toolbar buttons.
Negative Matt, Contacts have never worked on Mac. At least not as far as I remember. I've had a 2013 MBP Retina 15" and now a 2021 M1 MBP 16". Currently it is read only which is an improvement from before where you could not see Mac contacts at all without Cardbook

On another note it seems my last 4 comments have been deleted.
I am seriously considering deleting your comment on this thread. Fundamentally I consider your "comment" to be spam as it is not helpful nor offering insight into the issue listed in the topic.
Four random and unhelpful comments mean that you have sent SPAM email to a multiple of those four people. I suggest you make an actual request for support, or simply leave the forum. Your contribution to my mailbox on this topic is not welcome.
OK, it's cool.
