Hate Thunderbird 3 interface changes

[Concentric]

Does anyone else dislike the changes Mozilla made to the Thunderbird interface in v3?

I don't want or need tabs on an email client, and why move the buttons like Delete, Reply etc from the top toolbar? And where has the search box gone?

I wouldn't mind if they gave an option under View to change back to the old style interface but they don't. So i'll have to revert back to the last ever revision of v2 and not receive any more security updates.

Anyone else irritated by this?

Same here. I'd also like to be able to collapse the headers when viewing a message. I went with v3 on my laptop but I'm still using v2 on my main system and will keep using v2 until it's too old and decrepit to keep using

I don't like it either. Tbird 3's UI is also way less responsive than 2's. The new account wizard is also a POS!

Yet, I still like 3 better than 2 because of bug fixes etc.

I liked the ease of setting up a Gmail account in TB 3, but that was about it. I'd gladly suffer the more convoluted method of TB 2 if it means not having to suffer the fluff and bloat of TV 3
