Changelog for previous release (Thunderbird 2.0.0.21) | Changelogs for other Thunderbird releases
Released on 22 Jun 09, and this changelog was last updated on 23 Jun 09.
Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 has been released. Release notes are available. This post lists the improvements in Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 over 2.0.0.21. This list encompasses almost every single known fix that went into this release. Do check out the known issues as well.
The Gecko 1.8.1.x branch (Thunderbird 2.0.0.x series) will not include any features that Gecko 1.9.x will bring, since it is based on Gecko 1.8.
Impact key for security issues listed on the Mozilla Foundation Security Advisories webpage:
- Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
- High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
- Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
- Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have “High” impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

[...] What’s new in Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 … (Released on 23 Jun 2009) [...]

Installing this update, I believe, made it impossible to use the “send-to” function to email a document from MS Word 2007. Not only would Thunderbird not work, but neither would Outlook. I had to restore my computer to an earlier date, and then I recovered functionality. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree, and if so, sorry.

Same here with the “Send-to”-Problem: Thunderbird will not open after setting the default email-program to Outlook and back Outlook is still used. Similar to this: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support/browse_thread/thread/396c5f9e9c0a4051/55e9ba055edaf184?lnk=raot

Just noticed that in drop down box in Compose (I have 5 different email addresses) each email address is repeated about 20 times. This has happened since I updated to the latest version of Thunderbird and have spent the past hours looking for a fix.

I also was forced to install Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 to be able to use “send-to” feature. I am going also to disable automatic update to block restoring of version 2.0.0.22

For some reason, I have lost the ability to change font size and type (italic, bold, etc.). I’m not sure why. Any advice? Thanks.

The problem with Send-To not working with 2.0.0.22 is due to the Mozilla Thunderbird update having blanked out ann important registry entry. To fix this, run regedit, then go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mozilla Thunderbird
and look at the value of DLLPath. It is likely blank. Right Click on DLLPath, choose Modify, and add the value:
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32.dll
Click OK, then exit the Registry Editor. This should immediately fix the Send-To context error problem.
