Honestly it doesn't change much. Mostly bugfixes and performance |
18 |
improvements. There's not a lot of new innovations in email. |

The main changes since v10 are a new UI, mimicking the new Firefox UI. |

Otherwise there haven't been any real killer features IMO. |

v10 ESR has been replaced by v17 ESR so I see no reason not to upgrade |
27 |
to v17. There should be no danger in upgrading in-place over your |
28 |
existing data, but I always make a backup before a major version |
29 |
upgrade just in case. |
