Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi community,

I want to have the same font and font-size in:

• my HTML message body text
• my signature.html file

so I can send consistent and nice-looking e-mails, like you would expect.

Here are my current settings:

• Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts >
  • Default font: Arial
  • Size: 12
  • Advanced: For both "Latin" and "Other Writing Systems" I have the settings you can see in the attached screenshots.

I heard that these settings are for personal viewing.

• Settings > Composition > HTML Style >
  • Font: Arial
  • Size: Medium

I heard that these settings are for viewing by recipients.

The first line of my signature.html file looks like this: div style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: #222; line-height: 1.0; font-size: 14px;"

There is always a slight font size mismatch of the message text with my signature.

I unsuccesfully tried tweaking the html font size values in px or pt to match the given size in Settings > Composition > HTML Style for Medium or Large.

It seems that the available font size granularity of Medium or Large just does not match corresponding pixel or point values?

I would be extremely grateful if someone can guide me on how to achieve this!

If there is no valid solution for this problem, I'm happy to open/report an issue on this.

Thank you and have a wonderful day

Thunderbird 149.0.2 trashed my inbox emails on iMac Sonoma. Need to recover Inbox, about 2-3 thousand messages.

When I saw it put all inbox into trash, I tried to direct the files back to the Inbox but Thunderbird then deleted all trash. HELP.

I am currently avoiding putting anything into trash.

i can't seem to copy and paste so, here goes: what i see that i send Our Blended Rates: ≤ 100,000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

Now when i send it---it looks like this

≤ to 100,0000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

No longer aligned. Thank you

I returned to London from Singapore on Tuesday 28/4. Today (4 May) I noticed that all my emails show Singapore time (BST+7) in the Inbox display in Thunderbird on my Windows laptop although the time shown for emails is correct on my mobile (iPhone).

I checked calendar in Thunderbird settings and it's set to "Use system timezone" but the time on my laptop clock is correct. The time zone in my Windows setting is also correct (London).

When I open an email it shows the correct time.

Any thoughts?

After the last update when trying to send email I get the warrning of app: errer with "smtp.gmail.com". Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you for your help.

I have a number of pop3 accounts with the same mail host, but suddenly one of them gives me the message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I use Thunderbird on two Windows machines, and the problem is on both, so it is something in the interaction with the server, however, there is no problem accessing the mail via webmail directly on the server.

I have tried to change password on the account, but the problem did not go away. In fact, I got the box to tell me that the old password did no longer work, so I know that the problem pops up after log in to the account. Before the error message appears, the message "downloading 208 messages" (or something similar) briefly appears.

Is there a way to find out exactly what fails?

I use Thunderbird 140.9.esr and happened to notice some strange behavior a few weeks ago: I have 5 email accounts, all of which I access via IMAP. Immediately upon syncing, some (not all) emails disappear from the inbox of the first account and appear in the inbox of the third account. When I then manually move the emails back to the correct inbox, they remain there permanently.

When I check the accounts via webmail, the emails have indeed been moved from one server to the other. At first, I thought it was a problem with my filters, but none of the filters were set up to move emails from one server to another. When I disable all filters, the problem persists. Could it be that I made a mistake in the account settings? However, the accounts have been set up for several years now, and I’ve been using Thunderbird for just as long. I didn’t notice this error in earlier versions.
