Mozilla Thunderbird 68.0 is available now as a free, open-source download for Windows 7 or later, macOS X 10.9 or later and Linux. Thunderbird will instead push version 68.1 to existing Thunderbird 60.8 users on its release. There is no built-in mechanism for upgrading to Thunderbird 68.0 from Thunderbird 60 instead users must download the program installer afresh.
The update also comes with the first release of a dedicated Windows 64-bit installer. Other improvements include the ability to periodically run filters, an improved and updated To/CC/BCC selector when composing emails and feed articles now showing external file attachments as links. Users are also able to reuse Filelink attachments too, while the default Filelink provider - WeTransfer - can now be used without an account. Users also gain more options for managing file attachments - including the ability to 'detach' attachments to store in separate folders while maintaining a link from the original email.
The program’s look and feel has also received several improvements: the dark theme now extends to include a dark message thread pane along with full-color support across the entire app, including the ability to change the color of text in emails and shading of setting tags. By leaving the tab open, users have permanent access to their settings if required without affecting other windows. The section has also been redesigned to fit with the main Thunderbird interface, and ape similar design changes in sister product Firefox. Thunderbird preferences no longer appear in a separate window, but instead are displayed in a tab within the main Thunderbird window. Icons have also been placed next to menu items to help with identification. It’s been reduced to a single pane - users must now click a menu to access its sub-menu options, which slide into place. Thunderbird 68 opens with a major update to its App Menu. Version 68 unveils improvements to its App Menu, incorporates the options dialog into the main program window and offers improved attachment-handling features. Also released in portable and - for the first time - 64-bit form for Windows users, Thunderbird is Mozilla’s free and open-source email client. Mozilla has released Thunderbird 68.0 for Windows, Mac and Linux.
