[German]The developers of Thunderbird have released another update to the email client to version 102.4.0 as of October 19, 2022 (thanks to the reader for pointing this out). It's a bug-fix update, which is supposed to fix a number of issues. Because somehow the 102 development thread of Thunderbird is a disaster (see Thunderbird 102er: The problem bear).

Thunderbird 102.4.0
According to the Thunderbird Release Notess, the following changes have been made in this release:
Thunderbird automatically detects and repairs OpenPGP keystore corruption caused by using the Profile Import tool in Thunderbird 102.
In addition, there are fixes to the following bugs that are listed as fixed:
- Downloading POP messages to a large folder (~13000 messages) caused Thunderbird to freeze temporarily.
- Forwarding messages with special characters in the subject failed under Windows
- Links for FileLink attachments were not added if the attachment filename contained Unicode characters
- The display area of the address book continued to show contacts after deletion
- When printing the address book, not all contact details were displayed
- CardDAV contacts without the Name property were not saved in Google Contacts
- "Publish calendar" did not work
- Improvements in saving calendar databases
- Incorrectly handled error responses from CalDAV servers sometimes caused events to disappear from the calendar
There are also several unspecified visual and UX improvements. The developers write that there is an issue with Google Calendar. You may have issues with syncing or displaying appointments. It should be noted that appointments still exist on Google's site, even if they are not displayed in Thunderbird. The developers are working with Google to resolve the issue.
Tip: Going back to an old Thunderbird version after updating to a newer version is rejected if the profile is updated (see also). In With an updated profile (without backup) a downgrade is only possible with tricks by starting Thunderbird with the –allow-downgrade option (see also).
The system requirements for the different operating system versions (see here for more details): (siehe hier für weitere Details):
- Windows: Windows 7 or higher
- Mac: Mac OS X 10.12 or higher
