Thunderbird Forum podrške

I was a happy camper until V115 stuck its ugly nose into my interface.

Fonts on the interface are absolutely terrible and almost unreadable and cause rather severe eye strain.

I have tried going to Settings->Language & Appearance->Fonts & Colors->Advance and they will not change.

What am I missing.

I noticed that New Times Roman wasn't available as a font. What gives?

I have tags I no loner use and would like to delete them from my tag list. I haven't been able to find a way of doing this. Manage Tags lets you edit the name and color, but not delete. Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks!

Hey, everybody. Here's a screenshot. How to increase the size of the lines with "item", "from whom", "to whom", "date", "time" ? Modifying userChrome.css with this syntax did not solve the problem. .tree-rows {

 height: 25px !important;

}

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row {

 height: 25px !important;

}

I mean how to increase the height of these rows, make the rows wider? Thank you all in advance and have a good day.

Threading is something I, and indeed large numbers of Thunderbird users, do NOT want, ever.

Please provide an option to disable threading, across all folders, all acounts.

Even worse, the option to Ignore Thread, is simply a way to lose emails. To have a shortcut to hide a message, without even knowing, is crazy. Given how poor Windows control of focus is, and how easy it is to start typing but actually still be in the email listings, its inevitable that you will hit e.g. K or A or whatever, and cause bizarre effects or lose emails.

So I want to disable threading to avoid losing emails. I would also like to disable Archiving, and other functions, that are all simply ways to lose emails by accident.

Thanks.

Since recently (upgraded to 115.0(32bit) March 18th and then 115.9.0(64bit) April 3rd) I cannot drag messages to a local folder any more. I can move the messages using the menu system, but not by drag/drop. I started Thunderbird in troubleshoot mode disabling add-ons and resetting toolbars, but that does not help. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Albert Wambecq

I was exploring this new 115 of Thunderbird and ended up wiping the message viewer off the screen.

To start with, I have my TBird 115 as it came "out of the box." Three columns, Inbox folder tree on the left, Cards List in the center, and message pane in the right side.

I messed everything up when I widened the Cards list to the right edge of the window, where the <---> arrowhead disappeared and all there is to the right side is the window resize arrow from my Linux system and that awful slim Jim scroll bar.

I recovered my message pane using F8 key; it is below my short list of email in the Cards View. See the attached screenshot.

I would like to return things back to as they were with the three columns as described above. I forgot, too, where I turned on Classic View. There is a checked box in Settings somewhere. Or is it a menu? I need some help, please.

May I suggest a limit somewhere short of the right-side edge of the window and short of the scroll bar to only widen the message pane "so far," such that one can recover from pushing it that far, using the same means to return it with the double arrow.

Is the first photo showing threaded messages? If so, how do I get rid of them? Other posts say "Select Folder, then View, then unthread". The only View I can find is in Menu/View. but it only shows Toolbars, Layout and Folders

I use Thunderbird for my work emails and the other day I opened the program and everything looked and functioned differently.

If I responded to an e-mail I used to get a copy of mine inline with the thread, and now that just isn't there.

In addition, the threads aren't together the way they used to be. I try to scroll through an email thread and now I have to click on the emails individually.

Is this an update, or did a setting get accidentally changed? Can I get it back to how it was? I'm not tech savy so if you want me to share settings please explain how to find them like you're talking to a child... I just want my email to be easy to use like it was before

I am looking to see if it is possible to utilize Thunderbird for a very specific use case on macOS.

We would like to use Thunderbird as an email reader only essentially - we do not want new email addresses to be added nor do we want the existing account to be edited.

Is there a way to disable making changes to the client, or at least disable making changes to the accounts added/disable adding new accounts to the client? Locking these options behind an admin prompt would also work.

Bonus points if this is all manageable via a .plist or .js file.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this should be obvious to me: Can I have a unified folder containing only individually-chosen folders from several accounts?

In K9 on Android I can select one by one which folders from several accounts go into Unified view. Can I do that in Thnderbird itself? It looks like either I can do unified view, which unifies eg Inbox and Send but doesn't let me pick which others specific folders are included, or I can Favourites view which lets me pick folders but doesn't unify them. Can I do both?

Many thanks.

Answers to the question "how to turn off all threading in Thunderbird" no longer work with changed menu structures in Thunderbird 115. What is the answer to this question now?

With the recent change of putting new messages in a nested 'thread', new messages are still bold; But because it is now nested, one doesn't know if there is a new message at a glance like before.

I've seen in a comment posted here about the same situation but it involves creating css files and such.

Could thunderbird not make some adjustment and just highlight the top visible message as bold if there is a new message within it's thread?

Since a recent update my top tool bar to the right of Inbox has a long string of recent deleted messages which is of no use to me. How can I revert to the old format which just provided command options such as address book etc.

Hi,

I am using Thunderbird 115.8.1 on Linux Mint 21.3 with Cinnamon desktop.

I am having difficulties to spot new messages as they sometimes look very similar. Sometimes the message subject has blue color, but sometimes, it is only printed in bold and bold and regular letters look very similar with this font (see image).

I followed the steps in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1426183 However, this has absolutely no effect.

~/.thunderbird/k5v0nfyc.default-release/chrome$ cat userChrome.css /*

* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */

/* threads pane unread bg colour */

1. threadTree tr[data-properties~="unread"] {background-color:pink !important;}

Thanks in advance for your help.

New thunderbird user here. When in cards view, and threads enabled. If a thread is collapsed and a new message arrives, it only underlines the thread subject and sender. This makes it easy to miss. I'd like it bold, or change the background or something to scream out "HEY! you got a new message in here dummy" heh.

I followed these posts but it doesn't change it for me. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1265223 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1366417#answer-1479972

I tried adding @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); didnt work. I made other changes that I found in other threads so i know my userChrome.css does indeed "work" or is recognized by Thunderbird.

Help pls :) Thanks in advance!!!!

Thunderbird 115.8.1 64bit (I do not know when the last update happened) on Windows 10 64 bit After migrating to Thunderbird from another mailprogram, I have been receiving emails with pictures displayed in them for about a year without problem. Suddenly 2 days ago no more pictures are shown within the emails. Only links. I have not changed any configs. Is that a feature which has come via update? I have activated that external content is allowed in mails. Any idea why TB suddenly behaves like that and what I can do?

I don't use Windows Mail and have Thunderbird as my default email. However, when on a website using Firefox, and click on a "contact us" link to activate an email message to the website folks, a Windows Mail composition window opens instead of a Thunderbird composition window. I have to copy the email address out of the Windows Mail "To" field and paste into the Thunderbird "To" field.

How do I configure things such that clicking on a web link to open and start an email to said website results in that occurring in Thunderbird and not Windows Mail?

I'm on Win11 with latest Thunderbird as default email app and use latest Firefox browser.

Thanks! Eric

I receive several newsletters with lots of links. The newsletter writers send their product out with covered links. For instance https://xyz.link is hidden under "XYZ information", underlined so the reader knows it's a link. Thunderbird converts the links to raw links. I cannot for the life of me why Thunderbird does this. It makes the newsletters almost impossible to read. I'm attaching a screenshot. I took one newsletter into my Libre Write to restore the newsletter to it's readability. It took me two hours. I hope there is a way I can take control of how the links arrive in my email.
