I am running Windows 11 with Thunderbird V144 and the Windows Classic theme. I find the background colors of the Message List Pane and the Message Pane almost the same as background of the Header pane. I would like to change the background color of the Header Pane so that it stands out more. I looked on the internet and found some solutions to most other Header Pane features but not the background color. Most of those solutions were additions to the userChrome.css file that appear not to work on V144.

I would appreciate some help with this.

thunderbird email program does not have a "go to inbox" option. The program automatically creates tabs, and sometimes I need them. If so, it takes up to a minute to press the back button to go back all the way through them to the inbox tab. Why cannot mozilla thunderbird supply a go to inbox tab so I can go back to the inbox directly?

I don't really need to talk to a "volunteer". This is a question for whoever writes or engineers the thunderbird product. We should be able to send such questions and requests to those people who write and design this product. Does any "volunteer" know how to contact the needed personnel to redesign the product so it offers what I need?

I’ve set up Kagi as my default search engine on Firefox for iOS, but every time I open the app, it seems to revert the default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Then I have to set Kagi as default again. It’s a very strange bug. I’m not sure if it only happens when you set a custom search engine as the default.

When using the the chat especially when on either of my laptops. I think it would be useful to be able to minimize/hide the chat but not have it completely close so you can stay in the same session.

In my head I see it working by adding a simple minimize button next to the close button. When it minimizes, the icon for the chat can stay highlighted to alert that it is still active. Also, when switching from chat to other options like bookmarks, history or tabs. If there is a current chat open it should use the minimize behavior so the same chat is still active when you navigate back. So essentially the only time the chat closes or resets is when you close it.

In the recent update Thunderbird 140.4.0 esr , the fonsife of the folder names is noticeably smaller....which makes the folder name appear to be "scrunched up"....very close together. I cannot find a way to increase that font size.

The other side with email correspondents and subjects is fine...the increse of the font size there is easily done. I have attached a screen shot of the list of folders.

I simply wish to increase their font size so it separates the vaarious names and thereby increases the font size used there.

Gmail Folders Shown Sometimes as Hierarchical, Sometimes Not

Both screen shots below are from the same phone, same TB version, same account, etc. They were taken only a few minutes apart during the same, ongoing, TB session. This is TB 13 off Play Store (not beta).

Quite frankly, I dislike the hierarchical (which I see ONLY on my 2 gmail accounts - not in either Outlook or Yahoo - thankfully) and would much prefer the non-hierarchical all the time as it is consistent across accounts and takes less effort to get at folders like Sent and Trash - which are hidden/buried in hierarchical views.

What I don't understand is why/how the same gmail account shows folders in both hierarchical and non-hierarchical. It was my impression that hierarchical was introduced as an "improvement" at some point between K9 and now. Is this a bug? Am I doing something to make this happen? If so, how can I do it again to make it non-hierarchical all the time :-)

Thanks!

HI.

I'm trying to increase the size of the text-entry pane that appears in the calendar event editing pop-up. I already know how to change the size of the overall window (i.e., the pop-up itself), but I can't determine the name of the css element that would modify it.

I enabled developer tools, but the Inspector function doesn't seem to want to provide the name of that css element. It would be along the lines of calendar-event-pane, but that's not it.

Is that text window even specified in css, or is it hard-coded?

Any pointers would be appreciated

Okay that's nice but now I regret having done that. How can I simply get back to the previous state of not having that many messages in the list?

No I don't want to actually delete any messages on the IMAP server.

I'm transferring to a new computer. The old computer is using version 140.4.0esr (yet it says it's up to date, when the other computer is using 144.0). I have 2 e-mail accounts setup, so the left panel is a little longer. In the old version that left panel that shows all the folders is 100% the height of the window. On the new one, the bottom panel which has the e-mail in it (preview at the top) takes up 100% width of the window. I need that left panel to be 100% height, and then the preview panel with the e-mails listed at the top (which it is) and the panel at the bottom that shows the e-mail at the bottom to fill up the rest of the window, if that makes sense.

I've added 2 screenshots. One for how it looked on my old computer and one for how it looks on my new computer. I want it to look like it did on the old computer.

I would also like to get the bar at the top back with the new messages, write, chat, address book, etc.

I have tried all the settings I can think of and things I've found online with no luck. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! TIA!

Hello, I hope I'm in the right subforum. I have the following problem.

In my system settings, Opera is set as the default browser, using the command "opera %U --lang=de."

Unfortunately (despite the system-wide setting), when I want to open an https link, Thunderbird still asks me which application I want to use. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, I can't select one from the application menu (where the corresponding command is stored in Opera). Instead, I have to search for and specify the application in the /usr/bin folder. This logically opens the link with the "opera" command and not with the "--lang=de" option. However, Thunderbird doesn't accept a desktop file under "Open with...", where you could add the option.

I've now created a shell file with the following content:

  1. ! /bin/bash

opera %U --lang=de

This opens the browser as desired when I click the link, but only with the home page; the link isn't passed.

My question is, how would the command in the shell file need to be changed to open the link, or is there any way to get Thunderbird to open links with the command "opera %U --lang=de"?

Thank you.

After updating to Tbird version 143.0, the status of fetching messages from my email accounts is no longer shown in a status bar that's just below the main message list panel.

I know messages are being fetched correctly, because they show up as unread in my message folders. I've tested sending to myself, and it works !!. I have tried poking around in setting preferences, to no avail. I want my internet email session status line back!

Both my iMac and Mac Air, running macos 15.6.1, have the problem.

Being able to see status of connecting to and fetching from my different email accounts is critical for knowing the fetch operation is proceeding .... and/or working around the occasional connection problem (like: "you're not connected to the internet, dummy !!!)

Hi All, I just installed Thunderbird on a new laptop and I'm away from my desktop, where everything works fine. I do receive messages but .. I see messages, regardless in card view or list view ... but NO message content ... meaning ... in the same window, after selecting a message...right beside it. Yes, I can view the content but only when right-clicking the message > open > open in (options). But that is not how it always was, how it works at home on my laptop, not how it should be. I should see the message content as soon as I select one.

Please advise.

Thanks
