A new milestone for desktop settings 🛠️
381 community members across 42 countries gave us their input to redesign Thunderbird’s desktop settings. Those insights have been turned into an interactive prototype you can explore now.
Read the full research breakdown and test the prototype here: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2026/11/from-research-to-prototype-testing-the-new-desktop-settings/

Why, for heaven's sake, do we have to keep changing the GUI all the time?
It's not the changes themselves that are valuable, but stability—especially when it comes to interfaces!!!
@thunderbird YYUUAUAUAHHYYY PURPLEE

@thunderbird this never would have happened with SeaMonkey.
@thunderbird nice
