Too many to list, but highlights include option to permanently decrypt OpenPGP messsages, the caching of public keys, an option to refresh key properties from a key server, and that the Key Assistant is enabled by default. If you write in multiple languages, you will benefit from this, as you no longer have to switch the email language whenever you write in another language to get spell checking to work. Also, support for importing SQLite address books and CSV addressbooks with semi-colon delimited files. The import tool has been improved, making it easier than ever to import data from other Thunderbird installations, Outlook or SeaMonkey. Even better, you may assign colors to folders just by right-clicking on the folder, selecting properties, and picking a new color. To better distinguish between folders, new icons and colors are used. The address book has a new look and feel, and supports new information fields among other improvements. The address book is fully compatible with vCard, which means that you can import vCards from any application that supports it into Thunderbird. Thunderbird 102 ships with a redesigned address book.There you find options to make the subject larger, make Thunderbird display the full email address all the time, show the sender's profile picture, if available, and to hide the label column. Select the More button when viewing a message and then Customize to display the options. You may switch between normal and full headers, but the real beauty comes in form of a settings dialog that gives you more control over headers. Message headers have received a serious makeover in the new Thunderbird release. In fact, you may hide the Spaces toolbar and still use the shortcuts to launch the tools. Keyboard users may use Alt-1 to Alt-5 to launch these directly without moving the mouse or the finger near the bar. It offers quick jumps to core tools, such as the address book or tasks. The Spaces toolbar, located on the left side of the email client, is one of these changes. When you launch Thunderbird 102 for the first time, you will notice some of these changes immediately. Select Tools > Addons and Themes to do so. You may want to switch to another theme to see if it resolves these. Tip: if you notice display issues, these may be caused by the selected theme. The client has a new look, with fresh icons, colored folders and several other layout and design improvements. It moves the email client to a new foundation.
