What can I do?

P.S. I have tried "Daily (64bit)" but it has more problems than thunderbird....

- crashing

Please post a crash ID. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter-tb#w_viewing-crash-reports

- the received messages often have unreadable characters

Make sure you select the correct character set. In a message window: View - Text Encoding

I have tried "Daily (64bit)"

'Daily' is a development version, not a release version. Something can be broken there literally daily. I have no idea why you'd want to use 'Daily'.
