Thunderbird Community Forum

I have several message filters set up for one of my email accounts, and would like to copy them to the other one rather than rebuild them from scratch. Is this possible? Thank you!

All of a sudden, I can't see emails that I know are there because the subject of a previous message in my inbox is underlined. I can find the emails when I search for them by putting in a recipients name. And when they show up the thread column exhibits a red flag (don't know what it means). HELP.

Is there a Mac solution to this issue?: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1144690

Help! I can't see the tiny font with the newest update. It is not compatible with Theme Size and Font changer. Please make it compatible or include a way to change the font size of my email list within Thunderbird.

I want to send bulk mails as bcc to all the recepients. On adding the mail ids from the address book all are being added as `To` and so I am forced to change them to bcc one by one. How can that be done automatically instead?

In "Account Settings > Outgoing SMTP Servers" I expected to have the ability to fully specify authentication options for each server. Conversely, I have discovered that I can only set the authentication method to "Normal Password" but I can't set the actual password.

Even though I'm using multiple outgoing SMTP servers, in "Preferences > Security > Passwords" I can only see one IMAP server and one SMTP server.

How can I set the password for the other SMTP servers?

Hi! All,

When I look for language pack / dictionary I am told that the versions available are not compatible with my version.

This help bulletin does have UK English spell check.

Thanking inputs in anticipation

what are they doing to TB? v60.3.1

the thing that made it great was the addons.

now most of the addons don't work in v60.3.1

brilliant - who's bright idea was that?

why didn't they look at the most popular addons and include them in the code, configurable in the options.

why wasn't minimize to the system tray the default? or at least an option?

who wants a big icon sitting in the task bar at the bottom of the screen?

why doesn't it start minimized in the system try?

addons provided all this but now they don't work!!!!

i can't find a version of the calendar for v60.

also the new programing team break firefox in nearly every release.

i spend more time trying to sort out the mess every time they update things.

now i have to waste time trying to sort out TB60

time to look for alternatives to both i think. :-(

i have been using Thunderbird for a very very long time but this release takes the biscuit!!!! so very annoyed they are breaking it all the time.

will have to see if i can go back to whatever version was before, but that may mess things up so much it may not be worth the hassle. may lose all my contacts and emails!!!!!

may be simpler to switch to another email client.

also the write wind sometimes comes up in a narrow window, or sometimes things just dont work and i have to restart TB.

i want the exit X to minimize not exit, yet another addon that no longer works!!!!!!

what a mess

Since upgrading to version 60.3 I have the following problem:

For composing messages I have set font and size to suit my taste. However, when I read my message in the folder "messages sent" the font is always larger. The same applies for messages received. Whatever I change in the settings it has no effect. Please advise. Thank you.

Please look at the pictures: 1. the image "Thunderbird Address Book scrollbar is extremely narrow.png" shows the new Address Books scrollbar 2. the image "Example of normal width scrollbar.png" shows the scrollbar within a particular Address Book

I can't find anything in Thunderbird that will allow me to change this. The normal width scrollbar is probably set in Windows settings.

Thanking you in advance.

I just upgraded to Thunderbird 60 and wish to use Google Search as the default search engine. I installed the Google Search for Thunderbird addon, and restarted Thunderbird, but Google Search does not show as choice in the search-engine list. Am I missing a step?

I set Server Settings to "Just mark it as deleted" when I delete a message. But after a minute, it disappears from the Inbox. This started right after a Win 10 reinstall. Using IMAP.

When I select "Edit as New Message" in Thunderbird (v52.9.1) on a Mac, the message editor comes up in html mode even if I have set everything to plain text.

I have read all the articles on this and done all the things people have recommended including messing with Advanced options, account settings, etc. However, none of these solutions work.

Attached is a screenshot showing the problem. The first screenshot shows my inbox. The second shot shows that "Edit as new message" comes up in html mode.

Please advise.

Up to now I have been using the FireTray add-on, this is no longer working in Thunderbird 60 even if I enable legacy add-ons. I do believe that Thunderbird is making a catastrophic mistake by cutting itself off from a large part of its add-on ecosystem, but I don’t want to debate that here. What I think is really missing is some form of indicator that new e-mail has arrived (not unread but new) that is not transient. If I leave my screen for a while with a minimised TB process running, I will now have to maximise the window and check all accounts (actually, all folders that might receive new mail via filtering) to see if I have missed a new mail notification while I was away. The same applies if I was at the screen but focused on something else. With FireTray I would have seen a change in the tray icon. Now it seems that I have to check the folder pane for a colour change in the names of all candidate accounts or folders. I cannot believe that TB developers want to force us to do constantly inspect the window, so I’d like to know how I am supposed to be able to check if new email has arrived without having to maximise the window. Any suggestions?
