Thunderbird Community Forum

Good day, thank you in advance for your help.

I have two questions: 1. Do you find Thunderbird release [version number missing] better than ESR? Could you share your opinion?

It seems faster and applies all changes more quickly.

I will test it sometime if 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available simultaneously. I have no idea what kind of channel that would be.

Problem/Question:

In Thunderbird release 64-bit POP3, the font changes to blue for every second email (receipts). Can you tell me how to display every email in black? It's only the second email in the inbox that's displayed in blue (receiving emails). When composing, everything looks black. What do I need to change?

Question 2: Regardless of whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit, and whatever channel, I see updates to the latest version. The program itself has an option to view older updates, but everything is white. I only see white and nothing else. Is this intentional? I can't see the update, even though it's current?

``` thanks for the information

As long as I've used TB, which is many years now, I've had no complaints. I have absolutely no desire to change to a different program.

That being said, I'm at wits' end with the recent issue of Notification Sound Alerts (NSA) upon delivery of a new message. Simply stated, beginning about 6 or 8 months ago, the NSA seem to simply work whenever they want to. I can go a month or two at a time and receive the NSA, and then suddenly one day, NSA will stop functioning on its own. This "pause," we'll call it, will last 4 or 5 months, then then suddenly begin to work again.

I have attempted every imaginable fix as recommended in this forum. There's no need to list them all, because I've made every suggested adjustment that's been recommended. But there's no rhyme or reason to why the NSA will work as programed for a period, and then decide on its own to stop working.

I don't know if this is a glitch in TB that is simply beyond my feeble attempts to rectify, or if any other TB users are experiencing the same issue. I have even gone so far as to attempt to find an Add-On that will supplement the NSA. However, none that I have uncovered, particularly those suggested in this Forum, seem to be compatible with either the version of TB or Windows 10. I understand that Win 10 is not longer supported in the forum, but please! I do not want to migrate years of email files to another program. I want to use TB but simply need to be "Alerted" when new messages hit the Inbox.

Any assistance or suggestions (except those basic adjustments that proliferate the forum, i.e insure the sound mixer is not muted, etc, etc) would be greatly appreciated and thanks for listening.

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein

Missing divider iin email list There is no place for the message body. Clicking on a message does nothing. Double clicking on a message opens a new tab with the message body,

I'm just checking, is it near impossible to add an image to your signature? As old as thunderbird is why has this not been made easier or possible? Just curious, i cany be the only one. i have tried html in the box and attaching the html file.. I then read the image needs to be base64, tried that still nothing. After a few hours I'm sitting here thinking is this 1980? Please help, even if its to say not really possible. Sorry for being a bit snarky, I'm just confused why something so standard for years is so difficult.

Thunderbird refuses colored text on new Lenovo 17" Idealpad and adds asterisks not written by the author. Example message test: bbbbbbbbbbbbsssssssss ggggggggggggg***234*5678,56 *<==============* The written numbers and the arrow were colored red. No asterisks were written in the message sent. When writing, colors appeared correctly in messages with no asterisks on screen. However, no colors appear and asterisks are added in recorded messages sent and received on the PC. The Lenovo PC works OK in general, so it must be a Thunderbird configuration/function problem on my PC as the message is correctly received with colors without asterisks on my mobile phone. Can you help me correct this PC anomaly? Many thanks

For some time the feature to use color in text has not worked. I deleted and re-installed Thunderbird but no change. I cannot change the font color when typing an email, and making changes in the settings has no effect, either.

I have my "signature" saved as an HTML in color, and it also will only display in black.

Any articles and solutions posted seem to be for people using Macs or some other kind of computer. I have Windows 11 for a Lenovo Idea Pad 5. Thank you in advance for any and all guidance you can offer.

Hello,

I had been using Thunderbird as my email App for very long time. About a few years ago I stopped using it, due to some annoying errors.

I installed the new version a few days ago, however I am some issues:

1. I want to change the default email composing font type and font color. I made changes in the setting and config editor as well. When I start creating an email the font type and color shown is correct. However, as soon as I start typing the default takes over.

2. I have about 50, 000 emails, which I keep for references (ATT-Yahoo). Every evening all the messages disappear, except for about 2000. Then, in the mornings, I have to restart the app and it starts to download "AGAIN". Please advise.

bold textA little while ago, all of the messages coming into my Thunderbird app, do not expand graphics etc in the email. I just get strings of code and web stuff.. I cannot find the setting in my Thunderbird that will cause it to automatically translate all of these codes. Help please !

Hello; Windows 10 & current version of Thunderbird. I am trying to add Messages Filters to filter out spam (getting more and more of that!) but the "OK" button on the add message filter is below the bottom of the screen. The window cannot be raised or resized to make the button visible. Photo below. Moving window does not allow me to raise window above top of screen. Keyboard (Alt-Enter) / Move will not work. Changed windows screen size just makes window larger but button still below bottom of screen.

Non-functional work around. Highlight Message name. Press Shift-Tab TWICE. Press ENTER. UGLY!

Thank you for your time and attention.

I have been testing the new EWS support for thunderbird using version 144.0.1. My account needs the option `experimental.mail.ews.overrideOAuth.enabled` set to `true` to specify specific OAuth2 values (Application ID, Tenant ID,...). I see that receiving emails is OK (although the OAUth2 login page is popped up all the time and immediately hidden again, for every email I select, but maybe I have something weird because this is just a test).

But I cannot send emails using that account. My feeling is the advanced overrideOAuth configuration is not used for the sending/outgoing server. Just for the incoming server part. Am I alright? Is there anyway of setting this overrideOAuth values for the outgoing sending server?

I have tested the same with evolution and I can receive and send emails. So I'm pretty sure that the outgoing part can work when using the correct overridden OAuth2 values.

Wir haben vier Email-Adressen bei Thunderbird. Bei drei davon wird in der Kartenansicht bei Beteiligte der Absender angezeigt. Beim vierten Postfach wird immer der Empfänger angezeigt. Wie kann man das ändern?

How to Change the Maximum Length of a Folder Path Name? The Thunderbird client does not see folders due to the path length, although they are displayed on the mail server.

It makes sense that you might want your signature text to change depending on who you are communicating with (employer, business, friend, etc).

In Outlook you can enter several signature texts, identified by a name. I sure would like to have that in Thunderbird!

Another possibility would be to circulate among several signature texts, just to "keep it fresh".

Thanks for your consideration.
