Software Update: Mozilla Thunderbird 91.2.1

The Mozilla Foundation has released version 91.2.1 of Thunderbird. Thunderbird is an open source client for e-mail and newsgroups, with features such as support for various mail and news accounts, a spam filter, spell checker, and a customizable appearance. In version 91 has included a warning when an email is sent to a possibly non-existent address, or when there are too many addresses in the public address line. There is also support for CardDAV and a native client for a Mac equipped with an Apple Silicon processor.
