Anti-spam Toolbar in Thunderbird 115 (after upgrading from 102)
I just upgraded Thunderbird from version 102.15.1 to version 115.0.
The Bitdefender Anti-spam Toolbar has now disappeared.
I suppose that the toolbar was there immediately before the upgrade. I admit I almost never click on it, but it's vaguely reassuring to see there, and I imagine I would have 'sensed' its absence if it disappeared before. (Although another user reported that the Bitdefender toolbar disappeared in Thunderbird version 102.14.0 on their computer.)
There's a screenshot of what it used to look like in this post: https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/306997/#Comment_306997
Here's a screenshot of the new (current) interface:
I'm wondering whether this was because it was a more substantial upgrade of Thunderbird, now using the 'Supernova' GUI for the first time.
It seems that some users rather wanted to remove the toolbar.

- https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/93701/remove-anti-spam-toolbar-in-thunderbird
And there is documentation that the toolbar features are more limited if the IMAP email protocol is used.
So another possibility could be that BD decided not to support the newer versions of TB?
Or maybe I need to reboot?
Or completely uninstall and then reinstall BD?! (If so, I won't bother, I think. Maybe it'd come back when BD goes through one of its own regular semi-automated upgrades?)

P.S. I am running Bitdefender Internet Security build 27.0.18.96 on Windows 8.1 (64-bit).

Hello @DIVERSE and welcome back to the Community! 🙂
Indeed, the Antispam toolbar is no longer displayed in the latest Thunderbird, version 115. The extension appears enabled in the Addons section, however there is no toolbar present. We could reproduce this internally and the development teams are looking into it.
