I like Thunderbird when it works, but it's so glitchy. With 115, I now frequently have to save drafts, then restart the program before I can post articles. Also, articles randomly just appear as white and I have to restart Thunderbird to get them to show up. Filters were glitchy, but seem to be working okay now. It rarely functions as intended for me.
