My previous computer crashed and got a new one (Win 11 of course - new for me). I downloaded Thunderbird. With the help of an Earthlink (my email) tech, all but one of my emails (gmail) were entered. Then I downloaded and began reading them. The first thing I noticed was the Next and Previous buttons are missing (or placed where I don't see them). The second thing I noticed is that when I click on one email to read, all the emails in the respective Inbox also open. This is very annoying. I also hope someone can tell me the info I need to add a gmail account. (I rarely use it, but there two websites which require a gmail email to log on.) And I had made a T-bird "backup" but haven't used it yet. I'd like to IF I can locate it. P.S. Is it possible to shut off the AI "help" while writing this. I find it annoying, slows me down.

1. R. click the Toobar > Customize > drag the Next and Previous buttons up to the toolbar.

2. Second thing: I haven't heard of that ever happening. Does it also happen in Troubleshoot mode?

3. New Gmail account - see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/56256?hl=en. If you want to use TB to access Gmail, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail/.

4. AI - probably not.

Thanks! 1. Found Customize, dragged several commands. (The placement is different from before. It used to be over the right side of the message window, which was very convenience since I'm right-handed.)

2. I'm pretty sure now that happened because I clicked on the first message of a Thread. I don't remember that happening in the version I had on previous computer. I guess I should UNcheck Thread in the Options. 😼 3. Will do. 4. 😒

5. Thanks to the poster here who mentioned "Win ." for emoji's. 5a: I can't remember how to get to the Tbird window to get the emoji add-on I had before - it's the largest and easiest to use.

2. Double clicking on the first message in a collapsed thread opens all the messages. In that view, the first message represents the whole thread. Expand the thread, and the first message acts as an individual message.

Already done... selected a different view. Thanks.

Are there instructions to use the "backup" (forgot what T-bird calls it)?

If I use it, will it wipe out the new messages (on new computer)?

Questions I had meant to ask:

- Is it possible to reorder the email account Inbox list? I've tried dragging folders to a different spot in the list, but they don't drag.

- Where is the option to open an email within but but separate window? The messages are opening in the same window as Tbird, and w/o thinking, when I finish reading the message, I click X which closes all of T-bird.

' 5a: I can't remember how to get to the Tbird window to get the emoji add-on I had before - it's the largest and easiest to use. Go to TB menu > Add-ons and Themes > search for emojis. You'll see at least three add-ons there.

Backup - what is your intention?

Reorder accounts at TB menu > Account Settings. Just drag them.

Opening - TB menu > Settings > General > Reading & Display > 'Open messages in:'

THANK YOU!!

Reorder/dragging folders. Got it.

Backup: I was hoping to restore messages from last computer from the backup (I can't remember the name Thunderbird uses, to back up all settings as well as, I thought, emails.

Found the window setting. Not sure if I should check a NEW msg. window or an EXISTING one. I think the latter, so the windows don't increase. And I checked close tab on move or delete.
