I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

Regarding: Thunderbird Version 128.11.1esr 　 Please tell me how to make folder pane wider than the system default width of the vertical layout. The reason of this question is that I cannot see full of folder names under the system default width.

I am able to style tasks that are either completed/overdue/inprogress in userChrome.css . But so far I have not found a way to style canceled tasks.

Can someone help me ?

I have a lot of Firefox windows and tabs open, and I really don't want to lose my session.

I wanted to open a webpage in Firefox in fullscreen mode. But evidently there's some kind of serious flaw in Firefox that makes it incapable of opening webpages in fullscreen mode. Everyone says the only workaround is to open the webpage in kiosk mode. So I tried it.

But now I have two big problems:

1. One of my Firefox windows, with all its tabs, is stuck in kiosk mode. (Even if I close the window and then restore it with Ctrl+Shift+T, it's still in kiosk mode.)

2. All new Firefox windows I open with Ctrl+N are also stuck in kiosk mode.

I don't know what to do, and I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

I have just updated to 140.0esr (from the 128 esr series). I have letterboxing enabled but it now does not have any top margin. Is there a way to get the top margin back, so that is looks the same it did in 128? I much prefer the letterbox being centered in the window (128) instead of being squeezed to the top (140).

After a power outage I restarted the computer and brought up Mozilla Thunderbird the email template I use and for my emails from GMail. All eamils with content from outside such as Amazon, Ebay, and other sites I use I cannot get the content to load up. I went into settings under "privacy" and clicked on allow all remote content and nothing happened. The "Option" tab on those emails is not anywhere to be seen that will allow me to click on it and from a drop down menu allow that content to be seen either.

How do I get back to content on those emails instead of the plain text that shows nothing of any content?

I just tried to change my local folders location. I first copied everything from the current location to the new location and then changed the location in the local folders settings. When I restarted, all of the folders appeared but all of the saved emails were gone. When I tried to reset the location to the original one I received the following message.

A subdirectory of the directory specified in the Local Directory setting is already used by the "jde@ehrenkrook.com" account. Please use a different directory (also attached)

How can I get all of the saved emails in the local directory to move as well?

Only in ~last two months *some* special characters and jpg images are being lost when email passed from att/Yahoo to TB. They are all present in Yahoo. Two friends using TB or Betterbird are both receiving these emails intact. My TB is set for auto update and I'm now at 128.11.1 est and there was a recent update. Problem never experienced before. What setting change could cause this? How to fix? In attached screenshot, opening quote s/b a large quote special character and image of book s/b in empty box. Thanks, Lynne

Hi ! I see I have the ability to have the AI chatbot in the vertical sidebar, I wonder if I'm able to have the AI chatbot button in the top toolbar instead ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello,

i have multiple Thunderbird profiles which i start using seperate Shortcuts (.desktop files) and arguments: thunderbird -P 'profile-1' %u thunderbird -P 'profile-2' %u

But these seperate Profiles always get grouped together in the Taskbar. How can i avoid this? For FF there is some about:config setting (taskbar.grouping.useprofile)

On starting my laptop and going online I noticed that my sidbar bookmarks text has turned black, it was previously white as I use the dark mode for my browser, I have tried changeing my theme and the only way to revert this is to not use any themes and just have white background which I dont want, is there any way to change this and why has it happened, I have been thought both Firefox and Windows settings but cant find a way to change it?

the current update with "do-full everyday tasks"; "search" and "find.." is really ingenious! The button "actions" shown in the introduction cannot be found or set with help. ANd, for example "@manage themes" in adress-line doesn't work.....

Hello, I have just upgraded to windows 11. On firefox I used to be able to right mouse click on the firefox icon in the taskbar to select my saved saved (Pinned) websites. In the past with Windows 10 I right mouse clicked on the url of favorite websites then drag and drop on the firefox icon in the taskbar and that was it. On Windows 11 that no longer works. How do I pin my favorite websites to the firefox icon in the taskbar on Windows 11? I thank anyone for your help.
