Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

When i am typing a text in thunderbird and then pressing the return key, the cursor springs always in the next paragrph ( 2 lines under ), but i want it only to go to the next line. When i choose text it always changes by pressing the return key to paragraph. How can i change this ungraceful habit of thunderbird?

Hi, I've had this problem two other times with various upgrades, where my setting no longer works. I need horizontal lines between message headers in all folders. My eyes need the lines to be able to scan across and not get lost. I am using TB v115.3.3 on Windows 11 Home.

Here is an old version of my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1277758

Here is the full content of my userChrome.css file that is located here: C:\Users\Victoria\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hid4pw25.default\chrome

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

/* Add bottom border to thread pane (message list) */

1. threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row {

 border-bottom: 1px solid grey !important;

}

Thank you for any help.

With the recent update on Thunderbird, and installing it on a new computer, I can't seem to locate where the setting is that shows "Read" after so many seconds of viewing. Could someone redirect me? Thanks so very much!

Cox.com has decided to no longer have their own email server and switched their accounts to yahoo. I can read my email directly on Yahoo, but can't get their imap to work. I changed the imap and smtp settings to yahoo. Also, the email login has changed and I changed that in Thunderbird. With Cox, the login was just "username" and now it is "username@cox.net". When I made these changes in the account settings, my email account has disappeared from the inbox, but it is still in account settings. I am using a unified inbox with several accounts.

Cox will not help me with this, and I have been on hold with yahoo for an hour with no response. I have been messing with this for two days so I hope you can help me.

In an archived thread : IMAP mail account... Server Settings...

   When I delete a message:

Nonexistent. I want to specify what is performed. ver 102.11.0

Hello. I have two mailboxes. One is configured via POP3, the other via IMAP. It is necessary to transfer several folders (over 100) from POP3 to IMAP at once. Previously, it was possible to select several folders at once and move them. Now I can only transfer one folder at a time. I tried to go to the profile folder and just copy the folder files from there, but when Thunderbird is turned on, these folders are immediately deleted. Is there any other way? Thank you in advance.

How can I set the email message sort to descending date for all folders in all accounts? With many accounts with many folders each, manually changing the sort from ascending to descending is a lot of needless work. A global default is needed, and if there is one, I can't find it.

Using Thunderbird 115.5.0 on a Mac. I started using Thunderbird around 3 weeks ago.

I added several of my accounts. On some accounts, it shows folders that I have deleted months or years ago. They were not visible in Outlook or on the web interface. Now they are visible in Thunderbird.

These folders are shown in italics and greyed out. I cannot delete them in Thunderbird or interact with them in any useful way. They are just annoying. Any way to get them removed? Or at least hidden?

Thanks

I happen to be a poor typist and have had to disable a lot of keystroke-combinations in my ~/.vimrc because of this. There's some combination that causes my "compose" window to disappear (likely ctrl+shift+return, from looking at related posts). At least the partial-message shows up in the Outbox folder where I can resurrect it. It took me awhile to figure this out, I had been re-entering the messages. Is there some way for me to disable this "feature", though? I have absolutely no use for it. This is with thunderbird 102.4.1 (64-bit). It doesn't look like I have an explicit "Send later" extension enabled.

I just added gmail account to TB and it came up using POP3. It seems that I can't delete e-mails from gmail whan I delete them from TB. What options on TB and gmail should I use? I'm running TB 115.6.1. Under server setting in TB I specified "leave messages on sever until I delete them". Can't find any clear instruction on Internet. Thanks, Yuri

I find the "send again" function in Apple Mail useful, but don't see anything like it in Thunderbird, which I prefer to use for the majority of my email. Am I missing the area where it's available, or is it something developers could add? Thanks!

screen suddenly so large and can't see the message. how to delete the red circled part to make the message larger so I don't have to scroll to see it. have adjusted the font size, etc. but nothing changes

In left column in TB , accounts appear from top to bottom according the date they have been added. Can this be changed ?

Underneath a fictive example, I would like to move the account at the bottom to the top in the list

John.Doe@work.com John.Doe@homemail.com my.most.usued.account@my-ip-provider.com

Thank you

I have all my accounts set to send only text/plain messages. But in the message composer, an entire toolbar row (disabled until editor has focus) appears at the head. It should go away, not appear, be hidden.

What would you do if I formatted the message since the account setting is "always plain text?" Unknown.

Also, an entire toolbar line is devoted to presenting "Variables" and "Other" dropdowns. Just two buttons, both of which I will not use in my lifetime.

Removing these spurious items will make the UI more legible, less distracting, professional.

Thanks for the great products. Been using since v 1.0, along side Mosaic, Netscape, and FF.

Hi,

Is it possible to lock the location of folders and sub folders

I sometimes find, that when I am in a hurry, I accidentally click and drop folders into other folders unintentionally Usually happens when I have multiple email arrivals from multiple folders

Thanks Mike

One of the reasons I preferred reading my Gmail messages on Thunderbird is that it kept each message independent, while Gmail would link them together and hide the contents of the older messages. I have hated using the Gmail interface because I had problems find emails that I clearly remembered reading. Now, It appears that Thunderbird has adopted Gmail's horrible display method and now I can't find emails that I know that I received. I hope that there is a setting somewhere that allows me to undo this. I looked, but I could not find any.

For years when I compose an email, my address book appeared on the left column.

Somehow today it disappeared. How can I get it back to the above location when composing an email?

I've created a global Inbox for all my E-Mails Accounts. Normaly this Inbox should include all E-Mails. But there is no E-Mail shown at this point. What can i do to fix this issue. As workaround: I have to click on each Inbox to get the E-Mails of these Accounts.

Most annoying thing ever. Used to be when I wanted to print just the 1st page of an email I could do it in 2 clicks.... now I have to fill in what pages i want ...took a simple thing and made it more "clickey" ... finally got it to let me open PDFs with native Acrobat program.... this one I can't get rid off.
