Now, Thunderbird is getting some love, including some modern features and a more modern look.

It’s even gaining the “conversation view” that other clients and websites implemented several years ago.

In ashort video, the Thunderbird team explains why this 20-year-old email client still lacks a conversation view.

Once the new database is in place, conversation view will be a trivial addition.

The Thunderbird team also acknowledges that the conversation view should have been introduced years ago.

The fact of the matter is that it’s a wrong that’s now being fixed.

Thunderbird will feel more like a modern, competitive email client.

Previously, an add-on calledThunderbird Conversationsprovided this functionality.

A future Thunderbird update will include a native conversation view.
