blocking

  • 38.3.1 bug 1211160 — NEW, nobody@mozilla.org — Thunderbird Version 38.3 Buttons not working menu items // bug 1211291 - Folders are visible, but messages are not. (?related to bug 1211358 lightning chrome.manifest not updated in 38.3.0 ?)
  • 42.0b1 - bug 1199957 Thunderbird hangs (addon manager, web content, cache)
    • backout of cause done in m-c, approved for m-b and m-a. Just need to do.
  • nightly - bug 1195442 - Mac builds broken ~1 month on nightly
  • rkent is working on it - bug 1183490 - (dataloss) New emails do not adhere to sort by order received
    • Plan is to understand issues in converting completely to nextKey = ++lastKey for non-IMAP, then plan how much to implement for 38.3.0 A simple fix of the dataloss is probable. I have a try patch that does the nextKey = ++lastKey that works, now I need to think about patch for 38
