Hi,

Does anyone have an idea when the current Thunderbird (52.9.1 3/Dec/2019) will be updated to 60.x version?

thanks

A lot of the plugins users like will not work with versions after 52, so it probably won't be updated.

If you want/need the latest version, it is available to install from the Package Installer>Test Repo tab.

With the add-ons Firetray, Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar at least the calendar works (synchronizes and all) and I have a system tray icon with notifications and the number of new mail in the image.

If that is all you need you can upgrade to the 60 version. Backup your .thunderbird folder first though, JUST in case. I had other extensions which stopped working, could remove those after the upgrade.
