Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I have to reset my setting every time I start Thunderbird. The setting that seems to be systematically lost is the "mark messages as read on display." Incoming messages are not always in boldface so I don't realize I have new messages!! How can I fix these things. I am using a PC with Windows 10.

I added another e-mail account to "Thunderbird 115.6.1" but its not being displayed in the column on the left, how can I get both accounts to show up? It does show up in the account settings. Thank You for your help! I LOVE THUNDERBIRD, been using it for years, EXCELLENT Program keep up the goo work! :-) Call Keith aka NiceSeeingYou

I am running Thunderbird 115.7.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 11 Home Dell laptop. Whenever I go to make a change in the settings or the account list, it does not save the next time I log in. 2 examples. I change the top of the message window menu from "Icons besides text" to "Icons Only", but if I close Thunderbird and come back in, the menu bar is back to "Icons besides text". This is annoying but bearable.

But recently, I tried to add another email/gmail account. I can add it without a problem, see my inbox, receive and send messages, etc. But again, when I exit the Thunderbird application and re-enter, the new account is gone and I have to add it again. Somewhere, a config file is not updating, but I don't know where. Any ideas? This is more of a "well, I guess I need to look for another mail client" problem.

Thanks, Chris

Hello, How do I configure the Keys on version 115.6.0? It is not in the Tool Bar, Ctrl + Shift + F12 does not work, and extension does not work. Please help!!

I'm using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint.

Yesterday, I performed a complete reformat and upgrade to the latest version of Mint and I've been struggling to read emails in Thunderbird ever since. The text in the emails I receive is absolutely tiny - I'd say it was almost impressively small if it weren't so infuriating.

I've included a screenshot example of what I'm talking about. Note the size of the subject line at the top to see the disparity.

I've scoured the support pages and carefully followed the instructions given, but the aside from increasing the font of the program itself, there is no change in the text size of the messages themselves.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

How many times per day, and over a period of how many years, will it be necessary to tell Mozilla Thunderbird Email that I DO NOT want Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all my email from Gmail

BEFORE THEY WILL STOP ASKING?

Hi there,

Been using thunderbird for some time and is far better than outlook.

I was going to open a feature request but can't find any option on github. Will like to see a remove empty directory feature where a user can scan for empty folders in email accounts or in a selected area, by right clicking and then simply move the empty folders to the bin. Very often when moving emails from Gmail or other providers, one would end up with empty folders which would have to manually be deleted.

I look forward to hearing from you.

In quick filter toolbar I am missing to search by from, to , subject, body as it was in TB112. Without using addons, such as Expression Search this would be a major flaw of the new TB115 in the usability.

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro with several form-fillable fields. All multi-line fields were created with the "long text scrolling" feature in Acrobat turned off, and all fields are locked.

However, when I email the form using Thunderbird and open it in Thunderbird (versus save and open in Adobe), all of the multi-line fields now allow text scrolling. As an example, I want only 5 lines of text to be entered in a particular box on the form, and Acrobat Pro and Reader perform correctly and limit the number of lines to 5. But when I email the form and open it in Thunderbird, I can enter unlimited lines of text.

As this form will be primarily emailed to recipients, I want to be sure the line limitation survives emailing. Is there a setting in Thunderbird I'm missing when sending, or opening the form?

Thanks

I would like to keep using imap (because directory synchronization and such) instead of pop, yet I also want to configure thunderbird to delete (expunge) emails from the server after a certain number of days while keeping them intact offline. The reason for this is that I want to keep an offline only archive because it is more secure.

I currently only see options to delete everywhere after N days or delete locally after N days, but I want to keep local and delete from the server. It looks like the server software my email provider uses doesn't have a setting for it either, so doing this in thunderbird is my best chance of getting ut done.

Mine just shows a yellow header but doesn't put it into the junk folder. I have it marked in preferences to put junk in the junk folder, but it only works if it doesn't know it's junk and I click that it's junk.

I have 3 accounts set up with a unified inbox. When I click "Get Messages" at the top it only checks the first account. When I click "file", "Get New Messages For", "All accounts", it only checks the first account. I must go into that file menu and click each account separately to check all my emails. That's 3 times. Why will the check all accounts check all accounts? Thunderbird 115.6.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 OS build 22631.3007

I have a message filter for a particular email address. It has two steps 1) move to trash, 2 stop filter execution.

I am finding some of these messages in the junk folder. I have tried both before and after junk classification.

Thoughts?

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

I do not have any Add-ons enabled. I enable the Menu Bar. However, after reopening Thunderbird it is gone, and I need to enable it again.

If I start in Troubleshoot Mode, the Menu Bar is there.

I am running an old version, v102.15.1, 64-bit (which I need for an add-ons that is not compatible with later TB versions) and WIN7 (64-bit)

Thunderbird build: 115.6.0 (64-bit) My "deleted messages" list shows 3 messages from the last two days. I have lost all other deleted messages and I cannot find anything in Account Setting or Settings that can stop it doing that. This has been going on for weeks.
