Thunderbird releases a major version annually, following the trend of yearly updates. The latest version is Thunderbird 128, codenamed Nebula, in sync with Firefox’s numbering system.
Developed from Thunderbird 115 in 2023, which introduced the new theme Supernova, Nebula has further enhanced the design theme in various aspects. The card view of the email list page has been updated with a fresh design, allowing for multi-selection of folders simultaneously. It now supports accent colors following the operating system’s color scheme (e.g., Ubuntu/Mint).
Moreover, users can now customize the color settings per email account and receive new email notifications through Windows native notification system.
Other notable updates include transitioning certain parts of the code to Rust (though not visibly noticeable to users) and the announcement of Microsoft Exchange email support in the upcoming minor release (128.x).
TLDR: Thunderbird releases a new major version, Thunderbird 128 Nebula, with improved design themes, multi-folder selection, accent color support, and Microsoft Exchange email compatibility.
