Thunderbird 160 is now available across Linux, Windows, and macOS.
This release addresses a critical message retention bug that could inadvertently delete newer messages instead of older archives, alongside folder synchronization and OAuth configuration fixes.
A change fixes a problem with a setting that determines how long messages are kept. This issue could cause Thunderbird to delete newer messages instead of older ones. It also fixes a bug that caused mail folders to disappear after a restart on connections that use compression.
The undo command now works after deleting messages. Also, folders that are renamed or moved no longer disappear from saved searches. When users select and move multiple folders, they are now all moved, not just one.
The release also fixes issues with account setup. Exchange automatic setup now correctly handles redirects to different email addresses. Microsoft Graph setup no longer fails in organizations without a SharePoint license. Office 365 setup also no longer automatically adds the Exchange Web Services option. Sign-in windows now inform users that blocked cookies may prevent their identity from being verified.

Fixed issues with how contacts are stored that affected some servers.

Also added a Ctrl+A shortcut to select all filters in the message filter window.
In Calendar, we fixed reminders that could not be dismissed or postponed, and missing opt-in options for some recurring events. We also fixed incorrect blocking of calendar subscriptions via WebCal. Additionally, changes to events no longer result in the replacement of invalid calendar files.
The release also fixes cases where the program would unexpectedly close when opening a window or updating saved messages. It also fixes issues with reading certain messages and newsgroups, as well as notifications freezing for messages from certain sender addresses.
