Mailbird for Mac 1.23.1
This release brings sharper toolbars, brighter left-menu icons, and a new Reply-All shortcut ✨
✨ New Features
- ⌨️ Reply-All in a new window with Cmd+R -- Press Cmd+R on a conversation to open a Reply-All draft in a separate compose window. The existing single-key
Ashortcut for inline Reply-All is unchanged. - 📐 More reading space in Compact and Comfortable layouts -- The message list now extends further to the right edge in Compact and Comfortable layouts, giving small monitors extra room to read. Horizontal and Fullscreen layouts are unchanged.
🛠 Fixes & Improvements
- 📬 Read vs unread is easier to tell apart -- Read conversations now show their sender and subject in normal weight, while unread conversations stay bold. The previous always-bold sender on read rows is gone, so the bold weight is once again a real "unread" signal.

- 🖼 Top toolbar icons are easier to read -- Icons in the conversation list and message toolbars are two shades darker in light themes and two shades brighter in dark themes, so they stand out against the background.
- 🤖 Wingman: AI assistant panel no longer reserves empty space -- In Horizontal and Fullscreen layouts, the AI assistant slot now collapses when nothing is shown, returning the space to the conversation list.
