Thank you. I want to give the new features a whirl, and see if they help 
me in the end. I can say that I have a lot of "getting used to the 
change" to do. I keep closing Thunderbird when I don't intend to....

Another issue is that the keyboard command for getting rid of email that 
has been flagged as junk was

alt-t ctrl-l

in previous versions, now it is

alt-t ctrl-d

and that annoys me.
