Thunderbird 102.4.1 is the newest stable version of the open-source email client. This release addresses various bugs, such as issues with custom header data, the -remote command, and problems with the built-in Calendar.
The latest Thunderbird version 102.4.1 is now available. By default, the email client is set to automatically download and install updates over time. Users can speed up the update process by going to Menu > Help > About Thunderbird.
The current version will be displayed, and if a new version is found during an online scan, it will be downloaded and installed.
You can find the official release notes on the Thunderbird website. This update mainly focuses on fixing bugs within the email client and is not related to security.
One notable fix addresses the -remote parameter, which could impact Thunderbird’s integration with third-party applications like LibreOffice. Additionally, enhancements have been made to the Calendar integration. Some issues resolved include recurring events not showing up on the Agenda upon first load and mislabeling ICS calendars as text/xml instead of setting the “Accept” header. Another fix rectifies a problem with monthly events set on the 31st of a month with 30 or fewer days, ensuring the correct placement of recurring events.
Other fixes in Thunderbird 102.4.1 include:
- The interface now updates correctly when users switch to a right-to-left language.
- Custom header data is no longer discarded when saving messages as drafts and reopening them.
- SMS-to-Email service messages can now display images.
- Editing Vcards with a nickname field set is now possible.
The only new feature introduces error catching and reporting when Thunderbird encounters incorrectly formatted dates in vCards.
