Mostly bugfixes and performance improvements. There's not a lot of new innovations in email. The main changes since v10 are a new UI, mimicking the new Firefox UI. Otherwise there haven't been any real killer features IMO. > But, I'm curious if thunderbird 17 is worth setting > up on another box with dummy mail account to test? v10 ESR has been replaced by v17 ESR so I see no reason not to upgrade to v17. There should be no danger in upgrading in-place over your existing data, but I always make a backup before a major version upgrade just in case. It's your decision. :)
