Hi,

I stupidly agreed to the TB update today and now nothing works in the way I want it to. I'd spent time getting the interface to be how I like it only for the update to ruin it completely. I had been backing up my profiles using MozBackup and I uninstalled the latest TB, re-installed an older version and restored my MozBackup. However, this did not seem to get back the interface to how I want it.

Previously I had various add-on's working well. These incuded "Compact Header", Adblock Plus, Element hiding for Adblock Plus, Custom Buttons etc. These all worked well.

I also created a button called "undo" that replicated the undo menu option.

Now despite the restore much is not working and the undo button is no more.

I also keep trying to create a TB shortcut that takes me to the Profile Manager but instead it goes straight into TB.

Please could someone tell me how to get my "undo" button back and how get the Profile Manager shortcut to work?

Is these any documentation that explains where all the files used by TB reside and what they do? I would like to write a script that backs up all of my email files, calender appointments etc and another script that backs up all of the TB customisations. But I have never found the documentation that tells me where everything is and what it does.

Could anyone also shed any light on why the developers keep screwing up perfectly good working environments? I do want security updates but I have never found any of the FF and TB updates to be an improvement to the interface. It seems that perfectly good programs are changed for the worse each time. The reason I use add-ons is because successive updates to the interface have made it worse and worse. I assume others agree as I see similar comments when add-ons stop working. What am I missing? Is Mozilla trying to drive everyone to Chrome and Outlook? The reason I liked FF and TB is because I could make the interface work how I want it.

I assume there must be documentation somewhere with information I need?

Also, is there a guide on how to get the latest versions to behave how FF and TB used to?

Thanks.

I want to be able to sort folders manually without installing any add-ons for thunderbird I remember to sort them using config file but it was very long time ago.

Would you please remind the procedure for bringing up config file to sort folders number? Thank you

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.

Is it possible to mark emails in folders and subfolders as read - without marking each subfolder separately? I have imported more than 8000 folders and Lord knows how many emails from Outlook, all fine - but they are all 'unread'! I only have a couple of dozen folders, but they contain many subfolders.

Really your constant updating is making TBird an increasingly less attractive option. Now with version 64 we're back to the pre-historic times of embedded quotes >>>> in emails. You have many users who create add-ons, which within weeks become "legacy" add-ons.

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?

Recent change making it hard to drag/drop messages to folders, looking for the setting to fix this. Picture makes it obvious, when dragging several messages, the object shown while dragging is too big, can't see which folder mouse pointer is over. What setting changes the object shown when dragging?

Already aware one could use the right-click->Move; that would take several seconds to pick a folder after very carefully maneuvering through the folder list versus half a second drag/drop.

Version 60.2.1 via Ubuntu 18.04 using Xfce4.

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?

Hello, When I paste a screenshot/image from clipboard then in body I see a image who is dataimagepng;base64;... format. When I check the Sent folder I see file like dpaobdniadeediid.png . I use "mail.compose.attach_http_images;true" who in my opinion should be default.

Question: Can ThunderBird save/copy the image additional as normal attachment ? This will be a duplication of every pasted screenshot but this is very neccessery when I send to someone who cannot support this embeded image and he see that image is not at attachment.

Example: Unable to render embedded object: File (gfjlednmemkaajla.png) not found.

My TB is 60.3.3 (32bit); release; Win10 64bit

I want to set up an identity for my gmail address in Thunderbird - but I only want to use that for sending mail - not downloading or viewing any mail. Is there a way to prevent Thunderbird from downloading messages when I first set it up and never to check for messages? I tried doing this with an alternate gmaill account and before I could stop it - it started to download hundreds of messages that were already in the gmail account.

I just want to use it as an alternate send fro address - and not allow any messages to be downloaded.

Thanks!

Currently one can see the unread, Total, size of message in an email account - using the drop down menu where the email accounts are displayed. Can we add the count of threaded messages. As each Thread refers to a task - hence displaying how many tasks are left.

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

When I click on Write, the outgoing email address defaults to one I rarely use. I went into the SMTP settings and set another email address as the default. Then I closed and opened TB, but it isn't working. When I click on Write, I am still having to manually select the right outgoing email address. The problem is that sometimes I forget, and I end up sending mail from the email address I rarely use. Can this be fixed? I have Windows 7 and the latest version of TB.

Hi,

I have three e-mail accounts in Thunderbird.

I want to always sent mail only from one account. Whenever I click "Write", it should show only this mail account in the "From " column and send mails from this id only.

Can you pl. guide me how this can be done.

When I implemented the (very helpful) advice I got to my line-spacing question (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1243087) my Toolbars "washed out" (see before and after below). I'm still using the theme TT Dark without changes. Must be something about modding the css. Any ideas?

Whatever improvements came with my automatic update to version 6.3.3 (I'm running the 64 bit version of W7 pro, if that matters ) are not worth the impact of loosing my ability to have colored folder icons.

How can I go back to the version I had previously (I don't know what version it is) to get my colored folder icons back?

And can I do it without risking loss of emails?

Thanks, Dan

Hi, I'm using a dark GTK theme on Linux and when I search for messages using the Global Search, the results I get are unreadable as the font is white and the background also white (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way to change the font color, the background, or both? Preferably I'd like to change the background to black to match the rest of my GTK and Thunderbird themes, but if that's not possible I'd be happy with changing the font color to black so it becomes readable.
