thunderbird-60.3.1

[Douglas R. Reno]

New point version

I think a new major release of Thunderbird (63) is available as well, but I don't currently have the resources to verify.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Currently there is 63.0b1 (11 Oct) and 63.0b2 (9 Nov), but 60.3.1 is the latest stable.

What’s New

fixed

Double-clicking on a word in the Write window sometimes launched the Advanced Property Editor or Link Properties dialog fixed

Cookie removal (not working since Thunderbird version 52) fixed

"Download rest of message" not working if global inbox was used fixed

Encoding problems for users (especially in Poland) when a file was sent via a folder using "Sent to > Mail recipient" due to a problem in the Thunderbird MAPI interface fixed

According to RFC 4616 and RFC 5721, passwords containing non-ASCII characters are encoded using UTF-8 which can lead to problems with non-compliant providers, for example office365.com. The SMTP LOGIN and POP3 USER/PASS authentication methods are now using a Latin-1 encoding again to work around this issue. fixed

Shutdown crash/hang after entering an empty IMAP password

Known Issues

unresolved

Under some circumstances Thunderbird on Mac will send attachments using the so-called AppleDouble format which can lead to problems with mail servers and recipients unresolved

CalDav access to some servers not working. Workaround: Set preference network.cookie.same-site.enabled to false. unresolved

Chat: Twitter not working due to API changes at Twitter.com (solution forthcoming)
