@thunderbird, I'm enjoying the updated Thunderbird 112 Beta UI, but I was wondering if you could give us the option to disable the tab area and/or the new top menubar depending on how we configure our UI. If I choose to use the left-most vertical menubar, the other areas seem redundant and take up space. Otherwise, I like the new direction! 👍

P.S. - In Thunderbird 112 Beta, importing a vCard collection "*.vcf" file of exported Android contacts does not always seem to process "ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:" tagged data properly, resulting in HEX character codes displaying...

Thanks for the careful feedback. I'm passing this on to the team.

Done deal 👍 I hope these issues can be resolved because I really want to get off of MS Outlook since MS is integrating AI (... and AI training data collection) into all of its products and services. It's an opportune time to influence people to migrate to Thunderbird. The ability to import Contacts from Android as a vCard collection is a key feature if the team can get it to work as expected. Thunderbird+LibreOffice is an MS Office killer. I wish you much luck! ✌ 😁

Thunderbird + @libreoffice as a Microsoft Office killer? We couldn't agree more! In fact, you might start to see the two of us working more closely together in the coming months...

@libreoffice It would be nice to see some sort of integration or cooperation between the two projects. Maybe even based on some standards so new office suites/mail clients/programs in general could also benefit from this. It would probably make migrating to both projects easier for new users.

@libreoffice
It’s so cooooooool!
I want to see a OSS ecosystem.
It’s time to work together as a team of OSS.

@libreoffice No worries, we teamed up on it and we're tracking replies together 😉
