Hi, I just paid a computer tech good money to get back an older version - that i liked. The new version was 115.3.3 (64-bit) and I spend time to look on the internet to download old version of Thunderbird. the old version that worked on my MAC was 91.13.1 (64-bit)

I even brought back the older friendly bird icon. The new one looks mean as if it could peck your eyes out!

Did you originaly mean to ask a question about how to go back to an earlier version ? Because I'm not sure what your question is supposed to be about!

You paid someone to uninstall new and reinstall old.

In future if anyone finds this question and does not want to pay to downgrade then try this:

In Thunderbird Help > Troubleshooting Information Under 'Application Basics' half way - Profile Folder - click on 'Open Folder' (if Windows OS) or 'Open Finder' (if a MAC)

A new window opens showing the contents of your 'profile name folder'

Exit Thunderbird now

delete this file: 'compatibility.ini'

Uninstall Thunderbird


Get a fresh download from this link: Last version before update to 115* was 102.15.1 http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/102.15.1/

If windows select eg: 'win64/' if MAC select 'mac/' then choose prefered language eg: en-GB is English British Then download the .exe file if Windows OS or the .dmg file if MAC Install and run and it will pick up your profile.
