hello with the newest Thunderbird 102.4.0 upgrade, the message pane background color changed to gray... how can I please get it back to white? thank you and best regards ベ⊃ Meaulnes Legler Zurich Switzerland

I use Thunderbird 115.1.0. "Show only display name for people in my address book" is not selected in the preferences. The "Full Address column" Add-on does not work with version 115.*

In all folders the names of message senders/recipients are displayed instead of the e-mail addresses. For example, it shows "My Name" in the outbox - not name@example.org, my@name.com etc. In the inbox, it is "Anna Bel" and "Zack Miller" instead of "support@mozilla.org".

I am not interested in the names. When I want to see those, I look into the mail. I need the mail addresses!

How do I get back the addresses? (I think Netscape Mail did have that feature.)

The chosen answer to a similar question, "use Full Address column Add-on", does not work for Thunderbird 115.* and up.

In "Composition" I have changed the font to "New Times Roman". I find no save or OK button, it remains set. Yet when I send e mails even though it is set they are sent in a default Font and size. What do I set to have the selected Font in Writing e mails? Also have tried the "Format" when composing an e mail with the same unsatisfactory result. It is set to New Times Roman however sends in a default font.

when there are several hundreds of incoming messages on the folder, it is easy to read/view those messages IF THEY HAVE GRID LINE option(s).. (see example from TB display (w/o Grid line) & Eudora display (w/ Grid line)

If current TB is not available, could the TB software developer to consider this little feature/function for updated versions ??

many thanks

Supernova 115* has been released with a new Thunderbird logo. Some people will love the new design and many may not be very bothered, but what happens if you really do not like it? The following information can be used to change that logo back to one used in version 102*.

All of a sudden, my email font size was huge. I went to settings and changed the minimum font size to 12 (Times New Roman).

However, when I compose a message, the font size is very tiny. I'm guessing the size is less than 6. But when the message is sent, the font size is bigger.

if I increase the font size of the message I'm composing, with the "increase font size button" so that I can read it, once I send the message, the font size of the sent message will be huge.

How can I change the font size of the messages being composed and have it send the message with the same font size?

I'm using version 102.4.2 on a Mac computer.

Thanks,

The attached image shows how my email list pane looks like. I would like to change the color of the whole unread line, to be the same color as the Read column (the green dot).

I tried the following after reading some thread of older versions of thunderbird, to no avail:

Changed toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true Created a file name userChrome.css in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\t6yl6i44.default\chrome

Had this in its content:

1. threadTree > treechildren {

 color: green !important;}

Is it possible to do what I want? Thanks

I was in two minds whether to post this i not as quite minor really, that said Thunderbird will be my default email client on several machines so may as well get Q's out of the way.

Changed the font size for emails and folder text which is spot on, the only other thing would be to have the title bars or column headers (subject, correspondent, date and so on) in bold as a quick glance makes them seem part of the emails.

This option is probably available similar to changing the font inside config file but I may not be searching for the right thing, 'headers' returns results for the actual message format.

On another note, in case this pops up later on, while dragging icons from the toolbar selection tray the 'delete' button didn't quite make it, the button is no longer in the tray (as an option) or on the menu ?

Many thanks all

So, using 112 Beta now and LOVE the updates. The interface is cleaner and looks much better.

I do seem to be missing one little things.....I am missing the Get New Messages button so I can just click to download my new messages.

Is there any way to get this back??

When I delete a file from my Inbox in Thunderbird, I want a copy to stay on Gmail. I used IMAP to configure the incoming and outcoming mail in Thunderbird, but it always moves every deleted file to trash in my Gmail.

When Thunderbird upgraded to Supernova I lost all formatting for text in emails and signature block.

I've tried saving various fonts and recreating work signature block but nothing seems to work. The font that continues to appear is a basic courier style.

I've saved a pdf of various emails, with the first few being the current view I get and that recipients would see. The second last page is a copy from a previous "sent" email with my signature block, and the last page with a "reply" ready to go to that 2nd last page where the loss of formatting is very obvious. I would like to upload these but I'm not able to as it is not an 'image" file.

Any help to try and work out what has happened and how to fix it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers.

With the release of TB115 the line spacing in the message list is much tighter than it was in previous versions. I have an userChrome.css file and it is working just fine for the folder list but I can't get it to work for the message list.

#folderTree { line-height: 18px !important; } - this works fine to increase the line height in the folderTree

None of the following work to increase the line height in the message list

#threadTree > treechildren { line-height: 18px !important; } #threadTree > treechildren::-moz-tree-row { line-height: 18px !important; } #threadTree { line-height: 18px !important; }

Just in case it is interfering, you should know that I have also set layout.css.devPixlesPerPx to 1.75 to make all the fonts bigger.

Any help that you could provide would be much appreciated before my eyes go cross-eyed from reading the very tightly spaced message list.

A few days ago, I reset my Win 10 computer. I then had to reinstall Tbird. I had saved the Profile so that saved email, addresses, etc were quickly reinstalled. One feature that I like was the display of the number of emails saved in each folder. That didn’t return. The only number that appears is the number of unread emails in the Inbox.

I found a user who had the same problem 3 years ago. (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1297303)

A solution was given: “View/Layout/Folder Pane Columns, then right-click any column button and select Total, Size, Unread”

Unfortunately, my version of Tbird (155.1.0) only shows View/Layout/Folder Pane – the word columns is absent. Any suggestion to cause the folder content numbers to appear following the names of the folders? Thanks.

I have read everything and tried everything but I am not able to change the font color of the folder pane and thread pane in TB 102.10.1.

I put in the userChome.css for example the following (and tried many more) . The font and everything else changes. But not the font color.

• {

   color: rgb(203, 49, 49) !important;
   }

/* Global UI font */

• { font-size: 11pt !important;

   font-family: Verdana !important; 
   color: rgb(203, 49, 49) !important;
 } 

 /* Menu font */

menu, menulist, menuitem {

   font-family: Times New Roman !important; 
   color: rgb(203, 49, 49) !important;
 }

toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets is set to true.

How can I change the font color of the folder pane and thread pane?

How do I PERMANENTLY turn off THREADING in Thunderbird 102.13.0? No matter what I've tried, threading turns back on automatically. I have read ALL previous threading questions and answers but NONE of them stop Thunderbird from instituting threading IMMEDIATELY after I change the view with the top-far right "Select columns to display" to deselect threading.

If I could take a screenshot to show my issue, I would but don't know how.

I have been trying to stop threading for weeks now and now have to give up and ask this question. Threading does NOT work for me and I need help, soon.

Thanks for your patience and help,

My new - and fully oprative - Gmail account is not correctly connected to my Thunderbird ver.102 client. My name@gmail.com folder is established, including (as of yet) an Inbox sub-folder. Something in setup is failing to allow me to complete the installation.

Now, when Tbird starts - and regardless of what I was doing before shutdown -restart is instanly followed by a Gmail logon screen. Which, when I try to login, fails and invited me to enter a recovery number which is then ignored with an invitaton to open an account. There is probably something wrong in Tbird settings, but having (hopefully) followed all help I can't see what.

Any suggestions where to look?

Kubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird 102.7.1 (64-bit)

I simply cannot change the default browser from Chrome to Firefox.

• Firefox is my default browser.
• I've set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true.
• I've edited the attachment entries for https and http to "always ask"
• I've delete the attachment entries for https and http

No success. Thunberbird always reverts the setting to Chrome.

This should not be so complicated :( Why not a simple setting "Default browers" and pick one from there?

Hi, I'm using the latest Thunderbird 115.0 on Windows 11 and use the program with the Preview Pane turned off all the time.

Since I installed 115, when new mail comes in and I click on the notification banner, it brings me into Thunderbird and turns the preview pane back on.

Thanks

Hello, I want to make an email with two sender identity from different SMTP. Is that possible? One inbox for mail A, but sent as mail A or mail B with each own SMTP.

Case:

1. Mail A has IMAP and SMTP access
2. Mail B has SMTP access
3. Mail A and mail B has different SMTP
4. Mail B has no IMAP/POP access but all email received are forwarded to Mail A

Purpose: Send email like normal (choose one click sender, then write the rest of mail) using email with only SMTP access

It works well if they are on the same SMTP. As each account can only have one SMTP, I have to change SMTP manually to mail B after sending mail as mail A. It works for sending (by changing SMTP details) but not efficient.

Or maybe, is there a way to create send-only mail without inbox?

Thinks like Gmail feature... In Gmail, Send emails from a different address or alias feature-like is probably what I'm looking for. Its alias can have its own unique SMTP setting, but only have one inbox.

It works too, but want to setting this in Thunderbird if possible.
