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/
*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.
