Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I just changed my Thunderbird to accommodate Microsoft Exchange (and had to enable the Owl add-on to do so). Now there is NO option available to set reply text at the top of a reply message. Replies are automatically set at the bottom after the first message in the string by default (which makes no sense and shouldn't have been the default). The option which used to be available in the Composition page of the Settings page is not there. How do I set reply text to appear at the top of a message as a standard??

Thunderbird adds a double-space when you hit Enter in email messages. Is there a way to make it single-space? I've looked around on Settings, etc. and can't find one.

Today my 102.0.1 has disappeared. TB has worked for me for decades including now on 102.0.1 which is the latest version. I've downloaded 102.0.1 again but still doesn't show up.

Whazzup with both a POP3 & an IMAP?

Which one to remove & how to do it step by step please

edit: moved thread from Firefox to Thunderbird section.

Earlier today I installed the latest version of Firefox on my Mac system and now the time assigned to incoming emails is 1 hour too early. We are on Sydney daylight savings time. My computer is indicating the correct time but the Thunderbird emails listing is not. I've searched for solutions and checked a number of Thunderbird time and date settings but nothing has fixed the one hour time error that I'm seeing. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

I'm increasingly disappointed with the formatting issues in the mail editor, as it is all over the place.

I can't set a default font size in pt (why?) - small, medium, large etc settings are meaningless. They look different at the receiving end than in my editor, they keep changing with each line, they don't easily override the text copied and pasted in, the arbitrary text increase/decrease is unreliable and unpredictable.

An email I sent just now finally looked ok - but when I saw it in the SENT folder - the lines were all in different size!! I send mainly professional (business) emails and simply cannot afford such a mess with text all over the place.

The font type again, is unreliable and changes unpredictably.

I've had the formatting issues with pretty much every email I have sent over the past week or so. With so much hassle, extra time and ongoing corrections with my emails, I'm seriously considering moving back to Outlook, in spite of spending several hours on setting up TB.

Could someone explain please why the most important element of the email client - the message editor - is so poorly designed, after so many years? Why there is no font setting in point size, like in all other email clients?

When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

Today When I started my "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable"\ThunderbirdPortable.exe" My Thunderbird "Portable" opening panel contains no information. The only thing I could see was if I clicked on "Account Settings" Tab. The only way I could Fix it was Closing Thunderbird and renaming "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird "\ to C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable" to "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable-Broke" and the Start "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable-Broke\ThunderbirdPortable.exe"

I even Deleted My "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profile" Folder and reinstalled "ThunderbirdPortable_102.10.0_English.paf.exe".

I think somewhere on local computer something is "Referencing" The "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable" Folder it won't let my Opening Page show anything.

If I copy "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable-Broke" and Rename it "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable" Folder it won't let my Opening Page show anything, But If I start "C:\_PortableApps.com\Thunderbird Portable\\ThunderbirdPortable.exe" I can see my Opening Page.

I can't remember if I added any files to "My Local Folders" In most of my Setups on other computers with different email addresses I usually do and I can't remember If I did on this computer for sure.

Updating to T-bird 72.14.0 (on W7-64) made Dad's T-Bird password unusable. Cannot update password without email. Cannot verify Mozilla account without email. Cannot set up a second email account without email. Do not have mobile 'phone coverage. Posting this via my account, trying to fix Dad's box.

WHY does Mozilla not have a work-around for a lost email???

Thanks, Bob L.

Leider kann man im Firefox ver. 115.03 kein unterschied mehr zwischen gelesen und nicht gelesen feststellen. Leider sind die Neuerungen im Menü und in der untersten Leiste für eine schnelle und effektiven arbeiten kontraproduktiv geworden.

Nicht so ein guter Wurf....

Wie kann ich es wieder so einstellen, das ich einen unterschied zwischen gelesen / nicht gelesen Mails sofort erkennen kann???

Befor the Firefox upgrade my in box was split in two. The top half was the messages and the bottom half a preview of the message. Now I just have one long list of emails. Please can you advise how to go back to the split screen view. Many thanks. Joe

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

moved from Firefox to Thunderbird -Andrew

why is all my safe senders coming in to the junk email folder? I have a safe sender file that outlook is not looking at, all email is going straight to junk email which means I have to sort all emails out over and over all day long. Why?

Hello!

I spoke with Google Workspace support yesterday and downloaded email data from my account as a back-up. Google Workspace support recommended I download Mozilla Thunderbird, stating I could import the downloaded Gmail data into Thunderbird so I can directly access these emails. I have downloaded and made an account, but I cannot find where and how to do this process. Is this something you are able to help me with?

Thank you for your time and help!

Best, Ashley

I use a number of edresses, and I need Inbox, Sent, and Deleted subfolders. In some of the edresses I haven't been able to delete other subfolders (spam and Archive), in some I've deleted them and soon they reappear. I did not authorize automated spam detection, and I unchecked "Do [whatever it was] about archiving."

I have been using Thunderbird 102.14.0 for some time but it has suddenly stopped saving sent files to the sent directory. The file is sent to the recipient.

the message I get:- Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-anathan@iinet.net.au.
