Thunderbird 67.0 Beta 2

Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a free, open-source, cross-platform application for managing email and news feeds. It is a local (rather than a web-based) email application that is powerful yet easy-to-use. Thunderbird is developed, tested, translated and supported by the folks at Mozilla Corporation and by a group of dedicated volunteers. Thunderbird gives you control and ownership over your email. There are lots of add-ons available for Thunderbird that enable you to extend and customize your email experience.

Thunderbird gives you IMAP/POP support, a built-in RSS reader, support for HTML mail, powerful quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, labels, return receipts, smart address book LDAP address completion, import tools, and the ability to manage multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts.

What’s changed in Thunderbird 67.0 Beta 1:

ADD-ON SUPPORT: Restartless add-ons continue to work if their authors have made the necessary minor adjustments. Non-restartless legacy add-ons using XUL overlays are only supported if add-on authors have adapted them. Apart from Lightning/Calendar there are a few that have been adapted, like "ThunderHTMLedit", "Compact Header", "Signature Switch" and "Send Later".
DICTIONARY SUPPORT: Only WebExtension dictionaries are supported now. Both addons.mozilla.org and addons.thunderbird.net now provide WebExtension dictionaries.
Improvements when entering, selecting and removing recipients in the Write window

Changed and fixed in Beta 2:

Attachment pane of Write window no longer focussed when attaching files using a keyboard shortcut
Fixed - Navigation of attachments in Write window
Fixed - Insufficient contrast between forground and background colors for some tagged messages
