On the left side of Thunderbird's screen, there is a 'folder pane' where folders such as email inboxes and subscribed RSS feeds are lined up. In Thunderbird 115 with the Supernova update, the appearance of the folder pane has changed completely. It will be so.

At the top of the folder pane, there are buttons that allow you to execute 'Check new arrival' and 'Compose new mail' in one shot. Furthermore, by clicking the menu button on the upper left, you can customize the display format such as 'switch the layout of the mail display pane'.

In addition, 'Hide Local Folders' becomes easily executable. The development team said, ``Modern users have never used a 'local folder' and don't even know what it is. So we provided an easy option to show or hide the local folder.' says.

There is also an option to restore the original appearance, so it is a relief for old users who feel that the original UI is easier to use!
