Just a word of caution re the latest version (version 60) of Thunderbird which will be installed when you update Leap 15.0: you will lose most, if not all, of your existing Extensions and Theme -- by this I mean that they will become 'Incompatible with...'.
As noted by Hagen, referencing from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/60.0/releasenotes/
Thank you, Andreas, and thank you, Hagen, for this information. I shall have to bow to the inevitable and install v60 in the very near future...
*IMPORTANT:* Add-ons not marked as compatible with Thunderbird 60 by
their authors will be disabled (this can be reverted via preference extensions.strictCompatibility)
We probably should have made this more clear in the maintenance update descriptive text. Ultimately it is something that we are willing to accept from a security maintenance standpoint. 60 is the current ESR for Firefox and also the base for Thunderbird releases going forward. Likewise, most useful extensions were already update to support 60 a while back.
It remains the strategy for the stable openSUSE Leap releases that we will ship and maintain current ESR releases of Firefox and (matching) Thunderbird. So according to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ that'll be it for functional jumps for about a year.
