Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I have performed many searchers on the Internet and on this website to locate where the message filters are kept on FF v.98. If I go under the hamburger menu there is no "Tools" entry only "more Tools." If I access Tools on the MenuBar there is no Message Filter entry.

It used to be quite simplye Mozilla needs to follow the lead of smartphones who have the exact same problem with users attempting to find the controls whose locations change in every update. Their solution is a built-in search lookup app. Instead of making users "go hunt" the smartphone app allows the user to ask the app to find what they are looking for. That's why they are called "smartphones."

As for now, I need to know if my version of FF has bugs or if not how to I modify my message filters?

Thanks

My outlook accounts opening through Thunderbird with Owl add-on assist will not hold the setting to "Reply above Quote." I change the setting in Account Settings and it reverts to below quote every time I reopen Thunderbird. I even changed it in the Config. Editor this way:

mail.identity.default.reply_on_top If the value is 0 then modify to say 1

I also tried changing each individual mail ID to 1. It reverts back in Config Editor every time I reopen, at both the default level and the individual ID level.

I've tried looking for a setting in Outlook that would be responsible but can't find anything. Is it the Owl Add On?

Thank You for any assistance.

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?

A blind friend is looking for an escape from Outlook and since I tout Thunderbird to her she asked if a version exists for her.

Thank you.

Happy Holidays!

Message list header no more shows account name. It shows only folder name. But if you have several accounts, there are several folder named Inbox, so you do not know from which account you display messages. It was a good thing to can have a look on the current account name. Is it possible to customize it?

I'd like to be able to configure the format of numbered lists, both for a particular list in an email, and as a default template that will apply to all future emails that I compose.

I can find no documentation on how numbered lists are supposed to work. Mine are currently giving me roman numerals at all levels, e.g.

1. Top level

 1.  Next level
   1.  Lower level

I've come across some interesting options, including particularly https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1052897, which I've tried, but it doesn't work for me.

Please help!

I have 2 questions I need assistance with / answers to, if anyone knows.

- Why is there no option to 'Block sender' in the Spam options? I actually stopped using T-bird twice in the past upon finding that missing. Giving it another try; still not there. Very odd indeed.

- Also wondering if there's any way to remove of hide the abundance of folders? I can eliminate at least 7 of the ones shown in attached pic and this is only 1 email acct. When adding additional mail addresses, each one gets its own set of what you see, or more! I'm afraid it's just too much for me. I have mental challenges.

Thanks in advance!

When my customer receives my email reply from me, my reply winds up at the bottom of thread rather than the top where it should be. They are looking at the top of the thread and see nothing. My customers aren't happy about that. Can I change this?

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!!

to backup TB on windows to my Pi, I mount the TB profile folder then rsync its contents to the backup drive on the Pi ( then rsync it later to an offsite backup, but a slow connection) The windows folder has a lot of *cache* folders/files - which i can exclude there are lot of folders with a ~ or ~~ at the end of the name I am assuming they are some sort of temprary folder that i can also ignore ? If i dont backup *Trash* does that mean the restore function should i need to use the backup isnt available . And I think I'll keep the *msf files - AIUI not essential but useful to have immediately available should I need to use the backup

anything else I can ignore for the backup

I got a new PC and set my accounts up but forgot to transfer over my address book, so I did that yesterday. When I went to the Local Folders (now called little blue filing cabinet) a whole bunch of folders had appeared that weren't there before. Most of them allowed me to delete them, but after closing Thunderbird and going back in, all the files again appeared. Does anyone have an idea how I can make them go away?! Any advice would be gratefully received. Lesley

I have tried the solutions posted in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1362468#answer-1469591 to change the column header color. The solution worked on my windows 10 pro laptop, but not on my office Win 10 pro desktop. I did exactly the same for both machines. I also tried the solution "Didnt work for me right away, had to place the file in another folder, think has something to do with new version of firefox. My new directory\file was: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<string>.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css"

Both computers are on TB ver. 102.8.0 (64-bit). Any ideas? Many thanks.

I tried to change the size of the text in Thunderbird and now my entire mail display takes up less than a quarter of an inch of display. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, and it is still the same. Is there a way to get rid of those settings and go back to the defaults without doing it inside the program? I have enclosed a screenshot of it. I love my Thunderbird and am lost without it. Please help. Someone. Anyone.

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I have a question about the latest Beta that I'm running from snap.

I've installed my userChrome.css file in the same place on this install as on the stable release but it doesn't seem to be picked up (at least none of the color changes have any effect).

Is this being deprecated in the new Thunderbird?

If so, is there another way I can change the colors on new emails etc?

I've read some articles about this but I can't find what they're talking about. What is the message header? I'm not sure when this started but I don't like it, it's confusing about what message I'm reading or discussing. I only want to see one message at a time and I can't seem to change the setting.

I am a long time (10+ yrs) user of Thunderbird. I recently deployed v104 on Ubuntu and find using the address book at less than half screen width difficult. Once a contact pane has been opened it covers most (all but 2+ entries) of the existing address list (see attached.) For me, this could be improved if a widget to close the contact window, otherwise I have to close and reopen the address book to clear the contact pane/window.

Is there a solution I am missing?

Thanks for your time, Andy

We have this scenario that Company A has 70 users and Company B also has 70 users. We wanted to group each users per company, is it possible? I always find that the mailing lists are being grouped but not the user accounts.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Is it possible to change the position of the remote content alert so that it appears at the bottom of the email, rather than the top?

many thanks
