Unable to find several functions after moving up to 115.3.1
My Ubuntu distro offered a Thunderbird upgrade from 102 to 115.3.1 and I wish I hadn't taken it. After spending a lot of time getting Thunderbird display to be somewhat like my usual view, I am still unable to restore several favorites.
1. The status bar no longer shows me the total of unread messages 2. To save real estate on the screen, I usually do not display the File menu bar but the hamburger menu drop down in 115.3.1 is missing a lot of items that I used - empty trash being one of them and view>all headers is another. 3. The 'Get Messages' button on the top row doesn't enable me to be selective by mail account - again I have to display the menu bar and so lose screen space. 4. I cannot get the threaded message view to display lines showing the links between messages.
Maybe there are configuration changes I need to make? I'd appreciate whatever help can be offered. Thank you.

1. It might be a Windows-only setting (see picture).
4. Help/Troubleshooting Info, about:profiles, to launch profiles, or create one that isn't immediately recognized.

1. The App Icon can be set to show the total unread in Settings.
2. To toggle all/normal headers with Ctrl+H there is an add-on.
3. Right-click the cloud icon to get mail per account (see picture).
4. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1829470 The feature has been restored in Betterbird.
Thanks for the reply.
1. I've searched the Settings but can't find any reference - is it a parameter in the Advanced? And which is the 'App icon'? I only see a Thunderbird app icon in the OS - not within Thunderbird itself.
2. Thank-you. I'll give the add-on a try. I wish the old double-click were still available. That was so simple.
3. I hadn't noticed the cloud icon because my normal display doesn't have the folder pane in view. I only drag it out on the very odd occasions I need to look at it which is probably once every 3 or 4 months if that.
4. Thank-you for the reference to Betterbird. I've had a quick check and it looks promising except there doesn't seem to be a downloadable version for Ubuntu or Debian based linux and I'm not up to building it myself. I've also had poor experience with with some Flatpak versions of apps ( and Snap too). Looking at Betterbird does make it apparent that there are a lot of regressions in Thunderbird which are slow at getting fixed, if at all.
I must have been using Thunderbird for 25 years with no problems so I find it a bit sad that the devs had to make these 'improvements'.
1. Settings/General/Incoming Mails, App Icon Options.
3. F5 gets mail for the selected account, Shift+F5 for all accounts.
4. I'm not a Linux user, so refer to this: https://www.betterbird.eu/system-requirements/index.html
1. Still can't locate App Icon Options : see attached screenshot. It's not hiding behind the 'Customize...' button.
3.The situation with the 'Get Messages' button on the mail bar is worse than I thought. I thought it picked up all mail from all accounts but it only gets the first mail account's email. I'll get by on the keyboard shortcuts, thanks.
4. I'll look further into Betterbird. Hope it's not difficult to get it to find my TBird profile.
