Thunderbird 141 Arrives with Archive Button, OpenPGP Expiry Warnings
Quoting: Thunderbird 141 Arrives with Archive Button, OpenPGP Expiry Warnings —
Mozilla has just unveiled Thunderbird version 141 of its widely adopted free and open-source desktop email client, now available for download.
One of the new features introduced in this version is the ‘Archive‘ action now available right from mail notifications. Additionally, Thunderbird’s Composer now smartly warns users if their configured OpenPGP key is nearing expiration, helping to prevent sudden security issues.
As for fixes, there’s plenty in this update. For example, message archiving should now proceed smoothly, without silently stopping during asynchronous folder creation. Some of the other bug fixes worth noting include...

Thunderbird 141 Adds 'Archive' Notification Action & Fixes - OMG! Ubuntu
Thunderbird 141 adds a small set of improvements for users of the monthly feature releases. While the tweaks aren’t substantial enough to tempt Extended Support Maintenance (ESR) users to switch, they’ll be a welcome addition for current users.
The preceding Thunderbird 140 release made it possible to customise the actions shown in new mail notifications on the desktop. Thunderbird 141 expands on that by making it possible to show an Archive action, alongside Mark as Read, Delete, Mark as Starred, and Mark as Spam.

Thunderbird 141 delivers email stability, fixes, and smarter security reminders
Thunderbird 141 is now available, building on the major improvements delivered in version 140 “Eclipse” earlier this month.
While this update is smaller in scope, it brings useful refinements and more than a dozen bug fixes that improve everyday reliability and security in one of the most widely used open-source email clients.
The update introduces two small but helpful new features. First, users can now archive emails directly from mail notifications. This works alongside existing notification actions like delete, making it quicker to manage email without switching to the app.
Second, the message composer will now warn users if their configured OpenPGP key is close to its expiration date. This early notice will help ensure encrypted email stays uninterrupted.
