Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I am using Thunderbird version 102.11.1 64bit using POP with a Gmail Account. Ocassionally, I have to use Gmail in my Edge browser to send or reply to a message, only to find it appears in Thunderbird.

When I started working from home, I bought my own domain and used my email address from that domain by forwarding the email to my Zen Internet ISP, where I picked it up. Most people have that address. However, unless I'm missing something, in Thunderbird, I can set it up as the default Reply To address, but not as a permanent From address, so, unless I use the Custom Address each time, people end up with a second or third or fourth email address for me in their Contacts. I assume it's not possible to set up a permanent Custom Address?

My question is in the subject line. "Will the new Supernova interface and Thunderbird redesign cause problems with or disable old extensions?"

It's very frustrating to have to spend hours finding extension replacements when the old ones no longer work. The last time a TB update changed things like this, I had to waste a lot of time doing this. I had to hold off on updating TB for weeks in fact, because doing so would have disabled so many critical extensions that I was using. Eventually, I was able to find replacement extensions (usually having to embrace feature degradation though) and in other cases simply had to give up conveniences that I had grown to take for granted.

I don't welcome the prospect of having to do this kind of thing all over again.

I am currently using Thundrbird 102.10.1 (64-bit).

For years I had Thunderbird set up to open the way I want it to: fullscreen, classic view but without the Tasks/Events pane (which I never use), and with the folders pane at a width that I had set to view all the folder names for each email account.

Something changed a few months ago. I don't know if it was concurrent with an update, but now when TB opens it still shows the classic view but not fullscreen, WITH the Tasks/Events pane and with the folders pane width smaller that I had set it to.

How can I make TB display the way I want it to instead of what it thinks I want?

Can anyone help? TIA

I have been searching far and wide for an answer and am stuck here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1368273

This solution doesn't work for Thunderbird 102.11.0 because there is no OTHER WRITING SYSTEMS. I have set LATIN on font and size, composition is set to HTML. Variable width is set, but if I change this to a specific font, it still shows something different than the font I've used to compose, so it doesn't seem to help.

Sent files show Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Why is it so hard? I want my sent files to look like my composed files as much as possible. For example, if I use a serif font to compose, I want a similar or, if available, identical serif font, for readers if they use HTML as well. Thx in advance.

I have version 102.11.0 on my Mac Catalina. Recently I noticed problems on this Thunderbird. Last month I sent eFaxes that did not go through. My telephone service is looking into that since they provide the email address I am to use for faxing. However, I sent an email with attachment to my GMAIL address, which is not synced with Thunderbird, so that I could bring the file from that inbox into Google Drive. The attachment is a text document I am working on with Google apps. Though the email arrived, in Thunderbird I did not receive a cc: copy, as I usually make with all my email messages. Strange that this should happen after many months of reliability.

The browse button does not work for me. It does nothing when clicking it

I have only just installed Thunderbird, so I'm not sure a reinstall would help

Currently in the box it says: file:///media/randomguy400/44754/Sounds/message.wav

I'm not sure why it has this path. The actual path to the file it is referring to is actually in E:\\Sounds (also the hard drive is named "44754"). Not sure why the path is like this. I'm unable to change the path without using the Browse button.

I'm on Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit) My PC is Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Hello, I accidentally checked the box "don't ask me again" when emptying a folder, in this case spam folder. How do I change it back? I have multi email accounts and they all don't ask me anymore. I have the latest version 102.11.1 (64-bit). Just have Thunderbird installed, don't have any add-ons or anything. Not sure what other details are necessary.

Hi, I have several issues regarding signatures -

1) how do i make a signature consisting of some text as well as an image - i have created my signature in a new email, saved it as a HTML file and used it as a file for my signature..

2) but when i create a new email - it shows for like a 1 second and then disappears.. doesnt appear in replies or forwards..

3) i tried to instead just use an image as a signature.. again just shows up for 1 second in replies and forwards and disappears..

Please assist. Thanks

I have received a warning that I'm almost up to capacity on my webhost's email storage. I wondered if I could put my archives on my hard drive by locating them on my hard drive? And how would I do that?

Thanks for any help

I have several email accounts for different purposes. Some are more important than others. Is there a way I can rearrange the email groups for my maximum ease of use. Given the following email accounts: a@1.com, b@2.com, c@3.com d@4.com and e@5.com. Let's say d@4.com is my most important email. Is there a way I can rearrange the emails so that d@4.com is at the top and the rest are arranged in an order for my convenience?

I have six email accounts. Three of them do not allow me to delete emails. When I checked with the support team of my computer(linux), I was told that the problem with the three accounts was probably the POP settings and that I would do better with IMAP settings. I tried to reconfigure the settings, but only resulted in being able to receive emails, but not being able to send emails. This is a disaster for me. When I changed the settings I could only change from the input POP to IMAP. The outgoing settings were not available. There used to be an SMTP window with all the outgoing settings for all the email accounts I have. Where is this window? I can't find it anywhere. I wish the designers would think about the changes they make and their effect on non-tech people.

Any help will be gratefully received.

How can I create a task from an email I receive? How can I convert a task into a calendar event? I'm currently using Nextcloud to sync these things, but I'm open to using something else.

What's up with line wrap in Thunderbird, this is really perplexing. In both TBird versions 60.9.1 on my laptop and a higher version on wife's laptop could not get any functional line wrap in Write (compose new message). Even after changing settings it still just types out one loooooong line.

--In TBird config editor devtools.scratchpad.wrap.Text default boolean false mail.wrap_long_lines default boolean true mailnews.wraplength default integer 72 plain_text.wrap_long_lines modified boolean true <-changed to true (same in prefs.js) view_source.wrap_long_lines default boolean false

Hi,

The print option won't work. I try with Ctrl + P and the printer button but won't print. I used the troubleshooting option "Clear saved print settings" but not work.

These are both POP3 client accounts. I recently installed an old saved version 59.x.x [Correction, was Ver 52.8.0] of Thunderbird on new Laptop and started Thunderbird, choosing to later create Email account data. Stayed in long enough to set few things including Auto Update to OFF and then exited (didn't want any surprises right now). I then (in file manager) copied the all the contents of my Postbox 3.x Profile (the root folder files and Mail Folder, did not include minidumps) to the new created Thunderbird Profile (overwriting everything with same name). Then restarted Thunderbird and Popup came up saying migration updating or something like that, but it came up with all my old Postbox email folders and email and all my account settings. My old Postbox profile had the [ ] Check for new messages at startup UNCHECKED, which that all came up in Thunderbird just fine. Because I wanted to check Thunderbird out a bit before I started taking stuff off the server with it. I then checked the TB version and it was then 60.9.1 (32bit). So it did update which was surprising since I had updates set to OFF both in Thunderbird and the old Postbox Profile accounts. Ok so whatever with that, the thing I wish I could change now is there any way to hide the Subject Column in the Message list. I only need Correspondents and Date, the Subject is in the message at left anyhow. But for some reason Subject is not listed in the column selection drop down. Also all the messages in the inbox that I replied to have arrows pointing Left and cannot seem to make them go away. Just wondering what's all that about. Thanks for any input.

We have multiple computers accessing the same email, everyone applying a specific tag for their emails. We have had the 5 default ones (names customized), then recently added a 6th for a new employee. Since then each user can only see the tags they apply from their screens, nobody else's tags applied (others appear as regular black color). I have tried updating all the email apps on all users, tried removing that new tag on all computers, rebooted, uninstalled TB on 1 computer while the new tag was removed, still cannot see others' tags. Help please! Is there a settings file I can remove? Or some sort of switch or add-on? Perhaps having to do with a new install of virus Bitdefender? There is an add-on for it in TB. Anyone have issues using TAGS suddenly stop working?
