Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Hi,

I finally took the plunge after 21 years of Outlook v2003. I have Tbird mostly set-up to my liking with some chrome css customization's.

What I am trying to do now is see if there is anything i can do with the message composition formatting toolbar.

Primarily I would like to move the "Link, Anchor and Image" icons out of the drop down and have them stand-alone.

I see that i can move the borders and create more room vertically but i cannot find any toolbar addons that would give more icon choices etc or a way to move those from the drop-down?

thanks for any info/guidance/suggestions

On my previous Macbook, I had set up a printer workflow that let me attach a PDF to a new Thunderbird message. It worked the same way as Send to Mail, but started a new Thunderbird message. (Print > PDF > Send to Thunderbird.) I seem to recall doing something in Automator when I set it up years ago, but for the life of me, I can't remember what. That Macbook drowned in January and was unsalvageable, and that workflow which I used constantly, was lost.

I just spend two hours scouring the internet, both Thunderbird- and MacOS-related sites, with no luck. Yes, I know I can save to PDF and then add it to a new outgoing message, but I had it setup so I could do all of this in one step from the system print dialog, and I do this frequently enough that I really want that functionality back. It's not as simple as dragging Thunderbird.app into the PDF Services folder; I've tried that.

Does anybody have this working on their Mac?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup Thunderbird to work with my company Exchange account (have installed TBsync and provider for exchange tbsync). It works well but Thunderbird has created on the server sent/trash/archive/drafts folders instead of using the ones that exists, and thus I can't access my history when I am in Thunderbird.

Is there anyway to parameter this? I couldn't find any, there are only options to store in local or on the folder created by Thunderbird (see picture). Thanks in advance for your answers!

Good afternoon to all.

I use Message Filters to automatically send certain emails to two specific folders upon receipt, based on some defined rules (mainly who the sender is). Yesterday, I accidentally clicked "Run Filters on Folder", and the actions for my filter rules ran on every folder in my account, including my Archive folder. I could not find a way to stop the action once it started, so hundreds of archived emails were pulled out of the Archive folder and repopulated into my two specified folders. In each of these specified folders, I had a handful of emails stored in order to be able to come back to them as reference or to deal with later; I remember what some of these emails were, but I don't necessarily remember all of them, and now they're mixed in with the hundreds of emails that were brought back from the archive.

So, I have two main questions:

1. How can I prevent this from ever happening again? Is there a way that I can tell the message filters that a filter should never be run on archived messages?

2. Is there a way I can "undo"/reverse what happened, so that the previously-archived emails are sent back to the Archive? Or is there at least a way to identify which emails were in the two specified folders before they were inundated with all the messages from the Archive?

Thank you.

I want to delete a mail folder from an IMAP server. When clicking "Delete" in right-click menu, Thunderbird tries to move it to trash. This fails for folders that are shared from another user with error "[CANNOT] Renaming not supported across non-private namespaces". When I switch the "When I delete a message" setting to "Remove it immediately" the folder is deleted correctly. Is it possible to do this just for folders? I tried Shift+Delete and holding Shift while clicking Delete but both did not work, Thunderbird tried and failed to move the folder to trash as usual. It would however be most useful if after failing to move the folder to trash it would give me an option to delete it permanently instead.

Hello everybody,

I have includes 4 different email adresses in Thunderbird. All of them as IMAP. All the time everthing works fine, but for the last 2 weeks Thinderbird doesnt syncronize correctly.

For example: Thunderbird sees, that there are 8 unread messages in inbox, but at the same time Thunderbird does show me only 5 of them in the inbox. (When I login the the eMail-provider then there are all the 8 messages)

The "repair"-tool did not help so far. Diffrent mail-adresses show similar behavior.

I need a good idea.

Thanks a lot!

I need the option to convert message date to local time on forwarding, instead of UTC + - from the original header.

This is the expected behavior in every other client I have used.

Even if the original sender is in the same city as me, chances are their originating server could be somewhere else and their originating time preference may not be set correctly. So it's more useful and logical to end user to show that in my local time zone.

Please, at least make it a user preference option.

I am not the only one:

Windows 11; Thunderbird 115.10.1

I prefer to see only new messages in my Inbox. To that end, I've chosen the icon that says "Show only unread messages;" but it will not stay chosen. Every time I leave TB and come back I have to chose the icon again or see all the messages I've seen and reacted to before.

Is there a way to make the choice to see only unread messages and have it stay in use?

When I activate a quick filter (like "Show only unread"), a count of the number of messages is added to the right end of the filter bar. This means all the buttons move to the left, so I have to move the cursor toggle it off again. This is incredibly annoying and unintuitive.

Is there a way to modify this behavior so that toggle buttons don't move when they're pressed?

I am running Thunderbird 115.10.1 on an up-to-date Windows 11 machine. I have 2 email accounts (VirginMedia and Gmai)l. When I look at the drop-down list from the top-level folders on these accounts the VirginMedia account does not offer "New Folder", but the Gmail account does. I can create new folders via the VirginMedia webmail, but not via Thunderbird. This is a problem which I have had for some months, coping with it by resorting to webmail.

Hi,

When I sent an email, I use this addon "#tbkeys" to add the file name of the attachment in the body email. Is there a way to automatically add the name of the attachment, without using a shortcut ?

and this is the code for shortcut key...

1. tbkeys

{"ctrl+3": "(function () { var bucket = window.document.getElementById('attachmentBucket'); var names = []; for (var i = 0; i < bucket.getRowCount(); i++) names.push('• '+bucket.getItemAtIndex(i).getAttribute('name')); window.goDoCommandParams('cmd_smiley','This is Attachement name :

'+ names.join('
')); })();"}

Als ik de mail open en er staat een mail geopend, kan ik niet de ingekomen mails openen. Pas als ik eerst een ander item ipv postvak in open, kan ik pas weer op postvak in e.e.a. bekijken. Hoe verhelp ik dat?

Thunderbird 115.8: RSS message body reverts back to "Summary" after setting view as "Web Page" after exiting program and starting it back up again. What am I doing wrong? Running Windows 11 23H2.

Dear Mozilla, My email folder inbox says I have 1 new email, but I cannot find the email in the inbox window. Even when I filter for new messages I can't find it.

Also my new message count used to be blue. Now it is grey. But then goes back to blue when other emails come in.

Not sure if I accidentally blocked an email address or changed some settings. How can I fix this?

Thank you

Hello to all, I am having a real challenge with the latest version(s) of Thunderbird (115.8.1) on Windows 10 (i7 with 16Gbs Ran, 1TB SSD)

Background... Have been trying to add some accounts from a domain and this is where it seems to got astray. Added one account (acc#1) some time ago. At that time there was some issues at the time with the changing of the mail servers and the old provider. Left it partially entered within Thunderbird. With that, waited for a week or two to re-add these addresses. The one left was still there, redid the server settings, and added several other addresses from that domain. All seemed to be working just fine at that point... So closed out Thunderbird and shutdown the computer.

Upon rebooting the computer and opening Thunderbird... The account that was partially entered was there, but with the old incorrect settings. The other addresses were no where to be found.

Each time I shutdown Thunderbird and either restart or turn on the computer, the old (acc#1) is still there but with the incorrect settings. Have tried to delete it but it keeps coming back.

Assistance with this would be appreciated...

Do occasionally run CCleaner on this computer... could that be causing any of these issues?

As in subject I changed a control and do not understand the symbols on top plus need to get unread messages first and do not want sent messages in a tier that is to the same person. thanks

I've added 1 Gmail account and 2 outlook accounts on thunderbird today. Thunderbird synced Google calendar and contacts, but it failed to do the same for the Outlook accounts. It did not detect outlook calendar and contacts. Kindly help me to fix the issue.

Hi,

I am creating a thunderbird extension for cryptography. My JavaScript code contains libraries such as tweetnacl, crystals-kyber and crypto-browserify. I bundled my code using browserify in hopes of getting it working within thunderbird. My code is working when run within VScode using node.js.

I encounter the error that 'webcrypto' is undefined. I assume this means that thunderbird cannot support webcrypto, which I think crypto-browserify is reliant on.

Is there any way to get webcrypto and therefore crypto-browserify working within thunderbird? Or alternatively are there any alternative thunderbird-compatible libraries that can perform the same functions? This would need to include Key Derivation Functions for example.

Thanks

cloned my old good SSD to a bigger one, everything works just fine but Thunderbird new mail composition font is stuck on Bold no matter what I try. Any solutions, please? thank you, Rad.
