Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

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.

i need to get the font inside the messages bigger I went to advanced and set a min size font and and max size it changed everything on Thunderbird but not the messages windows 11 Thunderbird 115 any help would be appricated TIA

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?

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

Hi everybody,

this will be my 3rd attempt to illustrate a problem due to Thunderbird (see also ticket 124176, 12-23-2023 and resubmission: ticket 125893, 01-02-2024).

On 01-04-2024 I again got the message to resubmit my question by going to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form and entering my Mozilla account information, what literally happens now.

My problem with Mozilla Thunderbird occured after I transfered the account of my wife (katharina@dr-ristic.de) to my pc in order to chance the related password as all the others of my accounts.

By doing so I suddenly found my personal folder (including inbox- and outbox-folder) shifted from my primary ac-count (thomas@dr-ristic.de) and attached to my wife’s account (katharina@dr-ristic.de).

Up to now it was possible to shift back nearly 80% of these folders until I got the message: OVERQUOTA and that any adding of datas would exceed my storage quota (2147559282>2147483648), as well the storage is occupid 100% (2,0 GB).

I would appreciate if you could help me to solve this problem by extending the storage for example, so my personal folder will functioning as it did up to now. I do not want to delete any of my datas in the folders.

I am looking forward to your problem solving advices and wish you all the best Thomas

Hello I can't see my old emails in my inbox. I couldn't find a setting to show all emails. Only those from the last two weeks are shown to me. Do you know my problem? Thank you very much for your short feedback.

My Thunderbird updated and how it displays the Email accounts, Emails, and Content of the emails presented to the user as vertical columns as opposed to the previous versions is making it virtually unusable. If I had 3 monitors to spread the application across it might be usable to read the emails but as it sits right now, the email preview pane is like a reading a cash register receipt.

How can I change the "theme" back to the horizontal display of messages and emails with accounts on the left as it was before this update?

on a personal note, I never understood why software companies feel the desire to force interface changes on their userbase. Why mess with perfection?

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.

Hello, I would like to set up root level folders for my alias addresses rather than having them in subfolders. I have tried setting up a dummy email account, but the filter won't transfer emails to it. Is it possible to do what I want?

Dear Thunderbird Team, When launched, the program begins to update previously downloaded mail at one of the email addresses. How can I disable this so that it only downloads new messages?

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 want to delete multiple marked spam files down a column. Shift key no longer works to collect the files. When I depress Shift key at start of column and hold it to the bottom of column nothing happens. This used to work.

Hi, unfortunately my Thunderbird is not doing the line breaks for some of the fonts that I have received in an e-mail. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance

I can not change my font size. I will restart my donation when you fix it, or I will move on; I cannot use it as is. I'm using Google instead which I do not like ...

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)

What folders that appear within an account can I delete? There are too many folders listed taking up too much vertical space and requiring scrolling to get to other accounts. I would like to reduce the number of folders. In the screenshot attached is a list of the folders under my account. Which ones does Thunderbird protect and which ones can I delete?
