None of the two I use are compatible past 60.9.1 (64 bit) so I continue 
to use that version.  You can roll back to earlier versions if you wish.

The addons which I use to reproduce some TP actions are:

Dorando Keyconfig.  So Ctrl-L marks all read, Ctrl-H displays mail 
headers, Space next unread, Right/Left Arrow next and previous messages 
etc.  These were TP shortcuts weren't they?

Virtual Identity.  The one I could not do without.  Having my own domain 
I have hundreds of email addresses - everyone gets a unique one eg 
amazon@loades.net, ebay@loades.net, bbc@loades.net etc etc.  When I hit 
reply to an email received by any of these addresses the reply is shown 
as coming from what the incoming address was.  Without this addon I'd 
have to change the sender address on every email.

Can't help with that.
