Mozilla released the next update to the Thunderbird 38 branch on December 23rd with Thunderbird 38.5 release. There were some minor fixes with this update:
- In the address book manager, make the contacts sidebar remember the last selected address book (1142705)
- Prepare to use SHA-256 signing certificate for Windows builds, to meet new signing requirement (1079858)
- Various security fixes
Depending on their update settings, users will be prompted soon to update to the newest version of Thunderbird. Users may trigger the update from within Thunderbird via Help > About Thunderbird and following the prompts. Also, users can maually download and install the newest version of Thunderbird via the getthunderbird.com site. The next scheduled release will be Thunderbird 38.6.0 in late January early February 2016.
I see the mail import of MS outlook has been deactivated due to bug 1175055.
When is the correction for this due to come out?
Thank you and have a great day!
Not sure at this point. Best advice at this point would be to go back to Thunderbird 31.x and do the import and then update to the current Thunderbird 38 release. Since there will be no need to import mail once it has already been imported.
