Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I may be missing something, but how can I remove threading completely from Thunderbird or how can I download an older version. I"ve searched for 102.15, but cannot find a way to download it. I really prefer NOT to use another email client. I've always used Thunderbird, but I cannot tolerate this threading thing and I can't seem to disable it.

How can I change the order of tags in Thunderbird. I want to add a new tag but when I do it's being added before the last so this changes the shortcut of my following tag while assigning to this new tag the shortcut of the previous tag.

Is there a way to just change the order of tags without messing up the tags already applied to my messages? The answers I found for this didn't work for me. Such a simple thing... At least if the new tag was added at the end of the list that would work for me but it's being added before the last. Humm...

Thanks!

In Thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit) when you have collapsed threads enabled I have seen the software indicate there are say 8 unread messages. There are no bolded messages in the message panel. If you click on the READ status column you still can not see the unread messages. The only way is to uncollapse the threads and scroll down the message pane to see the bolded messages in each thread. Why?

If the threads are collapsed how are we supposed to find unread messages?

All of a sudden, when I create a new email or respond to one, the "send button" disappeared. I tried right clicking the menu bar at the top of the email screen and it takes me to the customize screen but the button for send is missing. Where is it?

Hi everyone. I am a Thunderbird user since it was first introduced way back when... I just migrated all my info from my trusty Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 machine and installed the latest version of Tbird. I have several accounts in my Tbird list. None of them are set to automatically download emails from the server. In my previous Tbird version, I used to be able to click on the name of an account and then (at the top of the screen) "Get messages" and it would only get messages for that particular account. Now it downloads the emails for all my accounts which I do not want. How can I change it to only get messages for the account I have clicked on in the accounts list ?

My second question concerns the font and size of the messages in the right hand pane. i.e. when I click on a particular account's "Inbox" on the left, I see a list of the emails received on the right, but the font is too small and is not the font I used to have on my Windows 7 (Arial). I have played around with the Windows settings but it has not changed anything in Tbird. So how do I change the display font and size in Tbird ? (NOT the font used to write emails)

Currently I have for years 12 Email accounts connected to my Thunderbird and with the latest upgrade the unified folders are not showing any emails (see attachment)

I tried to delete Thunderbird and its library and when i newly installed still the same issues.

Can anyone advise me on what to do to see my different accounts on my computer which is a mac book m2. On my other mac computers the unified folders work but not on the one i really need to use.

Thank you for your help

Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?

Every time I opent Thunderbid I must scroll down to see the newest messages at the bottom. It is very annoying. Also it happens when I change the folders. How to fix it?

Thanks

Since yesterday when Thunderbird updated, I either get an alert sound for new email all of the time (even when Thunderbird is closed and I don't want to be alerted) or none of the time, if I turn the sound off (meaning even when I have Thunderbird open, I get no sound alerting me of new email). How do I set it so that when the program is open, the alert sound works, but when the program is closed, the alert sound does not interrupt my other activities (like work video calls)? Thanks for any help with this.

Is it possible to not have a default sender selected when sending emails, so I'll have to choose every time I write a new email? I know I can select a default, but I have to switch between multiple email accounts rather often and want to avoid using the wrong one by accident.

Is there a practical solution to downsizing the inbox display. I usually keep only 3 or 4 messages in the display box so I can see the current message completely. What I have now is a minimum of 9 messages displayed and I can't see the entire current message in the current message window. It is unacceptable.

The Thunderbird Inbox is a mess..... Everything has lots of room, except the actual message. Mine is about 1" tall! How can I either fix the problem or go back to the previous version? Please bear in mind that I am not a very good problem solver, so I will need a step-by-step solution. Thank you.

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?

Maybe I'm using the most recent version, but there is no ADVANCED option under MESSAGE STORAGE as per all instructions. I need to have a Global Inbox for all the email accounts I have combined. Help needd urgently.

My spam folders no longer appear grouped in the "grouped folders" view in TB 115.4.1. I guess this has to do with the different naming (or handling) of this type of folder by the mail providers, similarly to "trash/deleted". In my case, only 2 spam folders from 9 accounts are currently grouped. It would be nice to have an option to manually tell TB which folder it is, like K9-Mail does.

I'm looking everywhere and can't find what must be a simple fix. I have 5 email addresses and with the new upgrade, I have 2 'draft' folders, 2 'sent' folders etc. for each email. Anyone?

Is there any way to ALWAYS override the message body text font and size for ALL incoming emails and display the ALL messages in the text font and size of my choice? If so, how?
