Look,at the header image and glance in the middle of the Wednesday column vs the middle of Sunday’s or Monday’s column. Very little visual distinction: you have to ask, am I looking at a long event or the ‘today’ highlight?
People who use calendars for work-related purposes typically want work-week focused views.
None of this is new. Which speaks to the people developing/designing this. (Or maybe they have incorporated this but the handful of screenshots aren't exposing them).
They aren't dogfooding this - or if they are - they aren't the power users - people whose typical day have more appointments scheduled than free time.
They need to seek out the power users so their design doesn't preclude use-cases (or at least make them very awkward).
Here's a freebie - for monthly view - the day that is highlighted should get a detailed day view as a sidebar.
Nor any way to view the week, starting with Today.
The year is 2026 and ThunderBird still insists what a single SMTP outbound server for all your accounts is totes fine. Sure, if you insist it would configure a separate one, but all SMTP configuration is under a separate "Ougoing Server (SMTP)" option and not under the account.

They are in a fine and cozy place "giving value" and "providing the alternative to a corporate capture". They are not interested.
Ah - I see a border on some. You're right, that does distinguish it (and thanks) but my reaction there to the design is: wow, by so little. It's hardly intuitive or clear: the same representation for two completely different things where the only difference is a few left-side pixels :(
I'm not sure what's displayed if the app shows the middle portion of an event that extends for more than one week - maybe a rectangle, if the rounded corners signify the beginning/ending of an event.
