<p>Hi Jörg,</p>
<p>Is "DL FileLink Provider for Thunderbird" one add-on that is so
important and not updated since TB 52?<br>

That's the killer one for us. Wrong ends of slow ADSL, places that
can't accept some attachments, don't want to entrust stuff to
certain cloud providers, overkill to try and setup something like
nextcloud just for this.<br>
<br>
I also have a plugin that lets us attach emails to Contacts in our
CRM (vtiger/Corebos) which we use a lot (the webmail in the CRM is
horrendous)<br>
<br>
I *may* be able to get someone to work on the CRM plugin but haven't
bothered looking until we get DL fixed as we can't upgrade without
that.<br>
<br>
I also note also that the G Calendar plugin (which I personally hate
but was adopted long before me) is likely to be converted to CalDav
which will have an effect as well, but I haven't even got that far
yet.<br>
<br>
I am not against progress. But I don't think that such a huge change
was managed that well, especially when there were things still not
fixed on the release of 60 which made it hard or impossible for some
add on devs to update. It's the plugins that make TB what it is.<br>
<br>
We were railroaded into 60, and the speed at which the old packages
were removed made it extremely difficult to downgrade. I was lucky I
found a set which I have preserved if anyone wants them.<br>
<br>
So yes there was rapid take up, but hardly surprising. It was a fait
accompli with most having zero choice and no idea what was going to
break.<br>
<br>
Anyways, that's us. Stuck until either something magical pops up or
we go elsewhere.<br>
