Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I'm running the 102.0b8 (64-bit) release.

When I view the inbox for my Yahoo account, by default it shows only Unread. The Quick filter is NOT on(see attached). If I select the Unread Quick filter the display does NOT change, except in green it shows "67 messages".

If I type All in the quick filter box it shows unread messages and a count of 163 messages.

Does anyone know how I can reset this behavior?

Setting Thunderbird up on a new computer. I want my emails to download when I ask for them, not before, but I can't find a setting to say 'Do not download automatically'. Where is the setting to say, 'Don't download email until I ask for it'? Thanks !

I previously used MS Entourage on Mac and migrated to Thunderbird as the best free alternative to what I missed from Entourage. However as my memory isn't that great it would be very useful to see if I have previously replied to an email, say that came in the last week or two. In Entourage a message displayed at the top of the email saying that if a reply had previously been made and it was hotlinked so a click would take you straight to that reply. Is that feature in Thunderbird and if not could it be added?

Thanks

I have my Thunderbird set to IMAP with my lln****@gmail account. I also have other identities (c****j@pobox.com; c****r@pobox.com, etc.). When I compose an email, I can choose which identity to use. However, the receiver of the email sees the email as coming from lln****@gmail, not the identity I sent it with. (When they click reply, it goes to the identity.) I would like my IMAP address lln****@gmail to be completely invisible to others.

How can I do this? How can others who receive emails that I send, ONLY see the identity I sent it from?

Thank you in advance for help!

I have just installed 102 thunderbird on Windows 11. There is one setting I can't find, that I swear behaves differently/'correctly' from a Linux (91.x), that is: Hover over a message in the list for a second or two, scroll down with keyboard, message goes from 'unread' (bold) to 'read' (normal font), the green 'unread' indicator goes out.

The setting I found seems to apply to a message being read, not hovered over (selected with keyboard or mouse), if that makes sense.

Also, I'd like to see a delete icon rather than needing to hit the keyboard delete, when browsing a list of messages. Possible? Or is it just hidden by my "PixelsPerPX" setting?

Sorry, go ahead and give me a "piling-on penalty" for multiple questions in the same support request.

To increase the font size of TB I know I can click View, Font Size, Increase Font Size . But I need to know how to increase the font size of a received email. Its too small.

Installed TB 102.0 (64bit). Trying to search for addons inside Thunderbird, from Addons TB tab (e.g. for Bidi add-on, which is presently not compatible with TB 102.0: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/search/?q=bidi&appver=102.0&platform=WINNT). Instead Thunderbird gives the following message: "Secure connection failed. The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." with invitation to "Try again". No success. Running Win 10 21H1 (64bit OS), and have Avast AV (22.5.6015 (build 22.5.7263.730)), where Thunderbird is an approved App. I believe the very first time I tried to search for addons, TB 102 actually opened the addons search page, but the second time and all subsequent times it is giving the Secure Connection Failed error. Any suggestions for the cause? Thankyou in advance.

Hi,

Is there a way to set Tbird to select the first unread email in the inbox on startup? Or go to the first email in the inbox?

Hi, I have cancelled automatic updates for add-ons. When I choose check for update TB does nothing despite the fact that there was a new version of Card book, for which I proceeded manually. Any Help???

Is there a way to edit the field names in the new version of the address book (v102)? In the UK we have Mobile phones, not Cell phones! Thanks

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and have just started having an issue with multiple email accounts.

I have several gmail accounts, with one set as the default in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings. In the past, the email would be sent from whichever account I was in when I composed (or I could change it from the drop down in the sender address box). Now, when I send an email from my personal account, it shows up in the correct "Sent" folder with the correct sent email address. However, the recipient gets the email from my "default" address.

Obviously, I changed a setting somewhere, but I do not know what I did. I know the explanation is a little confusing, so please ask if you need any clarification.

Thanks in advance.

I work with three monitors and monitor #3 is 99% used just for email via Thunderbird. I am a graphic designer and so my workspace in Photoshop is set to ProPhoto RGB and when I copy and paste a .jpg from photoshop to an email in Thunderbird the colors horrifically off. That is just from copy and paste. If I export the .jpg to srgb, the translation is not 100%, but reasonable. This is critical because I am emailing clients for pre-press proofs and my designs are RED and they see brown.

This morning I checked my email and all was fine. Later I restarted my computer and when I logged in Thunderbird (102.0.1) and my business account was gone. GONE! So, I added the account back.

I always keep my business account on top of the stack of my email accounts. Setting it as default did not move it to the top.

Help?

Newbie here. I tried to drag the Junk icon to the Mail Toolbar, but instead of being added to the toolbar, it just disappeared. This means I have to open an email to mark it as Junk, and I don't want to do that.

Most of my received email is formatted ok, but occasionally I get one where the message is one long sentence and it displays as one long horizontal line, necessitating a lot of scrolling to read. The last person to complain about this did not receive a reply. Is there any chance this could be implemented soon?

I have only recently started using Thunderbird and am trying to get used to how it works. One of the most annoying aspects is the notification sound when an email arrives. I don't have an issue with the notification, just the sound, as it is intrusive on Zoom meetings, etc.

I have searched around the forum for the answer and have found similar questions which direct the individual to the menu option or Tools menu, and then "options". Unfortunately, I don't an options selection in either location.

Please help!
