Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Hi!

  This single group recently "lost" all it's header information. I was able, by right-clicking in the upper left corner of the box, to get *most* of the headers back. "Subject" is missing and is not in the list of header options (I'm thinking that it should always be displayed). This only happened on one group. Any ideas?

  Thanks!

Why does T-Bird want us to change our account permission(s), so as to allow T-Bird to access our Google email account(s)? This will allow T-Bird to read, compose, send and permanently delete all of our email from Gmail! By clicking Allow, we would allow the T-Bird app and Google to use their information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. Deny_______ Allow________ Why should we allow T-Bird to permanently delete all our email from Google’s server, and with what justification would T-Bird delete our email messages?

With a recent Thunderbird update, there are no longer reply or forward buttons on an opened message. Where did they go? I was able to add the buttons back to the inbox window by right-clicking on the toolbar. But for opened e-mail I've tried looking in Settings, Preferences, right-clicking on toolbars and rebooting the machine and cannot find a solution. Help?

Hello folks,

Newish user having switched over from Outlook over Xmas time. One of the features on Outlook which is almost certainly available on Thunderbird is the ability to clean-up folders based on conversation duplicates.

Having searched for this there are options for either conversations (group by, but not duplicates within the conversation) or extensions which remove just duplicates or dupes.

Basically, I am after one function combining the two above similar to Outlook and if possible built in as i have an aversion to installing anything without a checksum.

Thanks for any pointers.

Dzień dobry, Czy istnieje dodatek do Mozilla Firefox ( lub inny sposób) aby dodać do subskrypcji wszystkie możliwe foldery oraz podfoldery w skrzynkach pocztowych ?? Zależy mi aby wszystkie foldery/ podfoldery/ wiadomości były widoczne w programie pocztowym. Wiem, że można to zmienić ręcznie, natomiast jest tego ogrom.

I was looking for help on Thunderbird and saw this YouTube video and the Thunderbird looked like figure number 1, but my Thunderbird looks like figure number 2. How do i get it to look like figure number 1?

I got a new laptop and transferred Thunderbird from old to new computer. Now the font for messages in my inbox is very small. How do I increase the font for the text of messages in my inbox. Was much larger on old PC. I have been able to increase font on messages I send, but can't find anyplace to increase inbox.

I don't actually have a problem or question.

In regards to Thunderbird, I was looking for a solution for a dark theme, and it lead me to a two year old answer that maybe out dated.

What I did find out i that the answer should now say to go to Add-On Manager, and usually a dark theme is ready to be selected.

I'm afraid people might not find it because they will try to follow directions that will only be frustrating.

Is there an add-on that would allow me to generate a tf-idf list of statistically significant words in a Thunderbird folder? Ideally, I'd like control parameters like:

1. search parameters (e.g. by date range, include/exclude addresses...)
2. number of words/tokens returned (this is less important: I can manually cut)

If not, has anyone seen something like gensim applied to Thunderbird folders?

My display name is stuck on "me", I really want to change it This glitch showed up recently, I believe when I "up-graded" to version 78.9.1 before that, it was my name. account settings  : "your name" shows my name, but all my e-mails show "me" instead of what is clearly written in the "your name" field really irritateing ! any suggestions ??

I have tried just about everything I can think of as well as read through various similar posts in the community, but there doesn't appear to be an actual solve in the settings to enlarge the font size of the message list view as well as the folders on the left-hand side.

Please see snapshot for reference. If I'm unable to adjust this, then I'll just move to a different email client because this font is just too small and I don't want to revert to having to adjust the resolution settings only to read email each time.

Thank you for any help/guidance you can provide!

Hello-- I have created an alternative account in Thunderbird, and with it custom signature text using the html option in Account Settings. When I send emails using this alternative identity, however, the signature that displays is the one associated with the primary, default account. How do I get Thunderbird to use the correct signature?

I also have a problem when emails are sent to gmail: the signature displays with an extra blank line between each line of text. The signature displays as desired in other email clients. Thanks for any clues Jim

In trying to employ ImportExportTools NG (in Version 91.7.0 64bit) to export my complete messages folder system to (say) an MBOX folder as a security backup and selecting "Export all the folders (with structure)", results in the error message: "Unable to export - the selected folders are of different types or one of them is a virtual folder". Might anyone explain or clarify this for me?

Hi,

I have a primary account with Gmail, and several alias domains (personal vs business etc). When sending email from Thunderbird, the Headers include "Return-Path", which reveals the Gmail primary domain on the account. No such Header appears when I send similar emails through the browser / Gmail web portal.

I would like to omit the Return-Path Header when using Thunderbird to send emails.

Thanks for your help.

I currently use the Gmail (smtp.gmail.com) outgoing mail server in Thunderbird. Google has notified us that as of May 30, 2022 it will no longer be supporting less secure sign in which I am currently using for the Outgoing Mail Server for Thunderbird.

I don't want to wait until May 30 to find out I can't send e-mails. Do you have any suggestions for a suitable free alternative? I am just using this for personal e-mails and don't require large mailing lists, etc.

Thanks, Paul

I have been marking emails from a specific account (local councilor in a city I lived in until three years ago), and still the emails get through. I have installed 78.11.0 (64-bit). I would have thought by now that three years of "mark as junk" would have got the message through to the junk filters; that Thunderbird would, by now, have learned something. Is there a hard and heavy hammer that can be used to state finally that any and all email from "Krzstzyn Wzng-Tzm <rzdzng@tcndp.cz>" is Junk? Thanks Chris Greaves

Changed password for one of my e-mail accounts, but can't find password manager. Help said in help menu, select tools, then options. When I select tools, options DOESN'T appear in the resulting choices. Tools is also supposed to be at top of Thunderbird screen, but I DON'T see it. How can I get fixed?

I like to quote the original email when I reply I have my reply above the quote. That part works fine.

However... it doesn't matter how I set the setting (i.e. "When replying place my signature"), it always ends up on the bottom, below the quote. Even when the dropdown says "below my reply (above the quote)."

When I hit reply, I'd like my signature there on top and then I can insert my reply above it. Now, I have to scroll to the bottom, below the quote, then cut and paste my signature where I want it.

Am I missing some setting somewhere"

Thanks in advance, John

Hello friends, is there an updated way to disable the daily update notification window that appears? ("A new Thunderbird update is available")

I currently don't wish to update Thunderbird, and the published methods don't work any longer such as changing app.update.doorhanger in config.

Is there a newer way to disable these notifications, or is a backgrade required?

Thanks for your time
