Sandman Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Oh no. Thunderbird doesn't allow downgrading unless a new profile is created. keyman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinFate Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Most people who are looking for the stable versions will want the ESR release. Carolus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Matt Posted October 12 Author Administrator Share Posted October 12 @jvidal and @zinoswink We appreciate your confirmation that you are not experiencing any problems, however these versions don't even have the labels "beta" or "RC." Compared to Betas or RCs, these versions contain more bugs. We have an obligation to inform the community of this, and it is up to you whether or not to continue testing these versions.

zinoswink Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Absolutely, I fully understand Matt! I think it's great you're now differentiating between stable & beta releases. Until you brought it up, I assumed all Thunderbird updates posted were from the stable release channel. Everyone isn't able to work through the typical issues. phen0men4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePT Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 ok... how to downgrade and recover the old profile???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePT Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 @Matt Doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL0TH Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 @BluePT Try adding -p to the command-line too, which will load the profile selector. See if that helps. thunderbird -p --allow-downgrade You can also delete compatibility.ini in the profile folder, so that Thunderbird doesn't know the version of the profiles. But this isn't the "proper" way of doing it. Sandman, BluePT and Matt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 @BluePT If you are having issues with profiles use the command: thunderbird -p or thunderbird -profilemanager anyone of them will open Thunderbird Profile Manager. You can then choose the profile you want to use. By the way, the parameter -p can be used with Firefox as well to open its profile manager.

BluePT Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 "p" parameter did the trick. Thanks! SL0TH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zirkach Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Or just copy profile folder C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles. Uninstall new version an install version you want, then copy profile folder to new destination. that's all, I work like this for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amigaspace Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 (edited) My suggestion: use BetterBird. It's a Thunderbird fork without most of TB's bugs and more features. They know what they are doing, and warn you that the current stable release is 115 and you should not go higher at the moment. It might also accept your current Thunderbird profile as-is and work just fine. This is the best option if you want a more stable and reliable Thunderbird, without changing your configuration etc.. Alternatively: Epyrus. This is different and will require a new profile. Based on an older version of Thunderbird, so, less features (unless you can find and use the more powerful, older extensions) but faster and more reliable than both TB/BB. Gets its own updates, so doesn't really rely on TB any more. Might require some fiddling to fine-tune and configure. Support forum is available with all the answers. This is the advanced option.
