The hint to the new version already came from German blog reader Tom in this comment (thanks for that). Of course I tested immediately, and was offered the new version.
During a quick check, the update installed without any problems and I could not detect any errors. According to the release notes there are the following fixes for the new Thunderbird version:
- Chat: Topics did not display some characters correctly
- Calendar: Filtering of tasks did not work when "Incomplete tasks" was selected.
So it seems, that there are only minor fixes.

I installed this today along with linux mint 20.1. Not very user friendly. How do i add a second email address? Of roll back to an earlier edition that actually works. That is why I use Thunderbird, I have more than one address, if I didn't I would not need it. I have been using Thunderbird for several years but this version is a monstrosity.
