Put it back to Thunderbird about version 80+
Or maybe pre 2011
Everything after 91 is garbage for the GUI.
The GUI should match my OS style/theme, not be a Mozilla clone of Firefox cloning Chrome!
Been using Thunderbird since about 2004 and Firefox maybe since V3?
Netscape before that
Mosiac from Feb 2004
TB & FF have got worse on all platforms, especially since rolling release.
I'm sceptical that you aren't making it worse!
At some point before 91.x.x you broke the Accounts GUI.

@thunderbird@mastodon.online Ah: The interim/beta versions Thunderbird 57 and 58, released in late 2017, began to make changes influenced by Firefox Quantum, including a new "Photon" user interface. That Firefox was a disaster & that's when Thunderbird went downhill. Dig out 2008 versions of TB & FF. Run then on XP (with win9x style theme, no animation*), Debian +IceWindow Manager, Redhat etc of 2008 or earlier. See how bad it is now. [*BTW I can do that in a VM on Linux Mint 22.3, Mate & Server 2003 theme]
