Thunderbird 11.0 issues
Not so minor
(not in order)
- Thunderbird hangs when switching IMAP folder [bug 733731, which will be fixed in TB12], [GS1], [GS2]. Workaround: i) Try Thunderbird 12 Beta ; please backup your Thunderbird profile (which contains your email, address book, etc) before using beta software! OR ii) Please download TB10.0.2 from here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/ and block automatic update - please tag these topics tb11switchingfolders, German and French Support Threads:

- bug 725810 - Automatic Compact Folders Not Working under certain circumstances - Regression found in TB11, fixed in TB13
Add-on Issues
The following is an incomplete list of add-ons that have issues in Thunderbird 11. Please add to this list add-ons that have issues and if you find an add-on has been updated and works with Thunderbird, please strike it out using <del></del>
(not in order,numbered for convenience)
- High CPU usage after upgrade to Thunderbird 11.0 perhaps caused by Bamboo Feed Reader Add-on (fixed by TB safe mode so it definitely appears to be Bamboo Feed Reader related) - [GS1]
Daily Support Reports Throttled
(selected dates with upgrade throttled starting the day after release day was Msrch 13, 2012; can't do this for every day obviously :-) !

(selected potential issues)
- AVG not compatible with Thunderbird 11? - Unconfirmed but not surprising since various folks have said that AVG is not updating to keep up with Thunderbird rapid releases [GS] - [Tag these avgtb11] - Probably the same issue in TB10; compare with GS topics tagged avgtb10 and avgtb9 - Recommend switching to Microsoft Security Essentials
- ESET not compatible with TB11 ? [GS] - Again not surprising since most Anti-virus software can't cope with Thunderbird rapid releases
- Missing Toolbar / menubar on Windows WORKAROUND: F10, or Alt+V, then Toolbars, Compose Toolbar. - please tag these topics: tb11missingtoolbar in GS - Perhaps somehow people are hiding the menubar by accident or via View | Toolbars | Menu Bar. If so then pressing Alt shows the menu bar temporarily and Alt V | Toolbars | Menu Bar turns it back on
- Spellcheck issues don't appear to be a TB11 specific problem but am tracking with tb11spellcheck tag

- AT&T changed their settings for u-verse and "normal" AT&T recently to inbound.att.net,port 995, SSL and outbound.att.net, port 465, SSL bug doesn't look like they communicated this to their customers well - Hmmm perhaps AT&T changed the settings in October 2010 but didn't break the old settings until March 2012?
- TB11 slow (don't think this is a "major, new in TB11" bug but tracking them just in case!) - please tag them tb11slow
