Unfortunately, the mail-centric features they added to the WebExtensions API are still experimental. Its not clear yet how many legacy add-ons can work with the changes expected in version 68.

May be useful to users of Windows 10 S but most users of regular versions of Windows 10 may prefer the original version of Thunderbird instead as it is maintained by the Thunderbird project team and available as a portable version as well. The Thunderbird Microsoft Store port is a third-party port that brings the email client to the Store.
