The Thunderbird Beta channel just updated to version 126.0b1, and it brings major visual improvements to Cards View! 😍
(Shown here with all visible messages selected.)

A big round of applause to Micah and Sol from our UX team for their awesome work on this, and to our community for your valuable feedback here and on our UX mailing list (https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux).

And here's a quick video of the updated Cards View in action, when selecting a conversation with new replies.

Looks really beautiful 🙂
When 126 is coming out of beta?

@karnasubarna You'll see this land in our yearly ESR (this July), version 128.

Very nice. This is awesome. Hope it will make it to stable soon.

@thunderbird
I would like to suggest to always set the buttons (icons) to the left or right to remove the third line this way.
Having a mostly empty third line doesn't make much sense.
IF there are replies and a third line is needed, THEN it's okay to have such. But if that's not the case there must not be an empty line.

@CafeJunkie The empty space you're probably referencing will eventually display a message preview.

@thunderbird
Okay, so there is simply no example of a message with message text?
In the gif the third line is mostly empty, just a star-icon, a paperclip-icon or the button to expand the replies...
🤔

@CafeJunkie Well, it IS Beta ;-)
And feedback just like this helps Thunderbird improve.

@thunderbird looks nice, but please tell me, I am still able do disable conversations. They don’t allow a proper inbox workflow.
If so, nice job, can’t wait for it.

@thunderbird COME ON! There is no improvement when — for the same pixel count — you go from 14 items to 10 items on display :(

@patpro @thunderbird

I believe Thunderbird is keeping the options to keep using the older "card view" in future releases. Also, in this case, it improves email readability significantly, with better separation, but if your only metric for improvements is the densest pixels per email, you could use the list view.

@fiberdrive Indeed, Table View is probably the option for you @patpro And you can also choose a more compact density.
