mga5 x86_64 Mate Thunderbird is my preferred email client. Saved .thunderbird to a tar file (1.7GB) and installed the update with thunderbird-en_GB-38.4.0-1. It has been running fine for the last two hours, receiving and sending emails and communicating with firefox. CC:

tarazed25 I use Thunderbird in KDE for both email and Usenet. Even though this bug cites only the i585 version, I have tried both i586 and x86-64 versions of the update on two sets of hardware, sending and receiving test emails and Usenet messages. Also intentionally misspelled words to check the spell checker for the desired English-US language. Everything appears to work as it should. CC:

andrewsfarm Tried out Enigmail by sending messages to myself. Ran the wizard at the most elementary level which involves setting up a passphrase and leaving the machine to do all the work. Out of four choices for encrypting text and/or attachments I chose to encrypt the message text only. The application spent a few minutes generating the key. Part of the process is generating a revocation certificate which needs to be moved to a removable medium. Encrypted email sent and received and unlocked with the passphrase. Sent another without encryption. Received that as was. Tried out the revocation certificate: Enigmail -> Key Management -> Edit -> Revoke key That worked. Not done yet but somebody else might care to test the more advanced options. MGA5-32 on AcerD620 Xfce. No installation issues. Tested Usenet in Dutch version, all OK. CC:

herman.viaene On mga-5-64
Installed: thunderbird-en_GB-38.4.0-1.mga5.noarch.rpm
thunderbird-38.4.0-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm
No problems on installation, except for this message:
(process:19823): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
which seems to be benign.
Everything is working normally: email send and receive (POP) through my ISP; News Server; News Feeds; Calendar; Address Book.
OK for me on mga-5-64.
Validating this one now. Thanks everybody. Keywords:
