upgraded to last version of thunderbird. 102.1.0 everything was fine until now. well yeah, the multicolour icons are a bit "stressful" to the eyes for me who prefers dark themes and really the new version of the contacts list as a TAB is BIG pain in the butt.

however the most annoying is the double inboxed emails. SOME, not all emails, appear twice! an exact copy! sending works, receiving works, however at random points i get 2 copies of the same email from random ( ? ) senders.

not there yet... 102.1.2 version now and updating to 102.2.0. the emails are somehow less but not gone. before if i received 20mails from 20 people, it would double them, and show me 40. now if i get 20 mails i have 21 or 22. only one or two will be double.

p.s. the new layout, makes things harder to process. and has a few minor bugs as well...

George, please try https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/candidates/102.2.2-candidates/build1/win64/en-US/Thunderbird%20Setup%20102.2.2.exe - take the defaults when installing so that it installs on top of your currrent thunderbird program directory.
