Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I hate the way the new Thunderbird version looks, can't get normal number of emails at once, can't read any of them at the bottom of the page. Please give me my old version back. This was a horrid intrusion with no warning that it wasn't just a normal update

Hello, I have been using a custom userChrome.css in the past, but it does not work since I upgraded to 115.0.1

Is the userChrome.css still supported? I have turned it on in config mgr, and tried every resource I cna find on the web, but my userChrome.css is ignored.

TIA...

It is annoying when a redesign of Thunderbird (Supernova) says it gives maximum customization options, but in fact moves something - the Thunderbird/Application Menu icon (hamburger button) - whose position apparently can't be customized!

How can I move the Application Menu (three-bar, hamburger menu) from the right hand side to the left hand side in Thunderbird 115.2.2?

The following CSS code (inside userChrome.css, inside a newly created chrome folder in my profile) works for my Firefox program, but apparently does not work for Thunderbird 115.

/* Move the APPLICATION MENU, 3-bar button, to the left & change its color */

#PanelUI-button {
 order:-1 !important; 
 color: yellow
 }

Can anyone please tell me what the CSS code is to move the position of the Thunderbird/Application Menu? Many thanks, Rick

I had to leave Thunderbird because every time I try and create a customized signature, as much as Thunderbird excels in that area, the image storage drops the filename's path every time.

Example:

image loaded: http://rich.allcorn.us/files/headshot.png

when I go back to it: headshot.jpg

It forgets the path, so the file doesn't show up in the eMail. I purposefully put it "on the web" so it could be accessed from anywhere!

When is Thunderbird going to fix this so I can leave Apple's mail program and go back to Thunderbird?

-rich- Rich Allcorn eMail: rich@allcorn.us website: http://rich.allcorn.us

I can't resize the message list to show fewer than 6 emails. Actually 5.5, since the 6th is cut off. I'm sure I could do this with previous releases. How can I get around this?

Installed thunderbird for the first time. Mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in the inbox, in message view, in settings, or in calendar.

The scrollbars are visible, if I click and drag them they work, if I use the up/down arrow keys the window scrolls as expected, it's just the mouse wheel doesn't work. Mouse wheel works in other programs ex firefox.

I disabled smooth scrolling and autoscrolling but the issue persists.

Hi,

My reading pane on v115 will only adjust downwards but I would like to adjust it upwards as was possible in previous versions.

Just to confirm what I mean, it will only go down, so making the reading pane smaller (or disapppear) and the thread pane larger.

I would like to make it go the opposite way, upwards to make the thread pane smaller.

Is there some code, css etc that can make it happen correctly?

I updated Thunderbird to Verson 115, now 115.01. The global search shows result, but when opening messages, tab is empty. Search result list is also empty. I already rebuilt global-messages-db.sqlite.

Attached error console log.

Most times, I would not even notice, but twice today, I noticed that the email body rendered before the header (From:, To:, Subject:, buttons, etc).

And in one email that arrived this morning, displayed no header until a considerable amount of time had passed. I suspect that there must have been some email content from the hosting server being reticent to arrive, or maybe not all, and it timed out.

Anyway, if there is a problem with the arriving email and content, it would look better if the header was there so that some action, other than closing the tab, could be actioned. Otherwise it looks like Thunderbird is not behaving correctly.

Even subsequent re-openings of the email show a significant delay. I kept a copy as an eml file, just in case.

I am trying to import the messages from a Thunderbird 102 profile into 115. The profile includes one gmail POP account. Importing the profile gets all the messages in Local Folders, but none of the ones associated with the POP account (Inbox/Sent/Drafts/Junk/Trash). Newly received messages go into the Inbox without a problem.

Tuhunderbird 115.0.1, 102.13.0, macOS 13.4.1

I was able to send emails till July 14. After that day it's been impossible to send or reply to messages from my Outlook account (I receive emails though). I have made no changes to Thunderbird's configuration since then. Basically it's the Oauth2 authentication that fails. I briefly see a browser page for authentication, wait, wait, wait and then the mail is not sent and I get an error message related to servers timeout (attached). Sorry, my interface is in Italian, but anyway the message is something like: "Unable to send email because of a timeout on the connection to the out server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com. Try again." Is this a known bug? Any ideas? It's quite annoying to use the browser interface to send messages while I am able to receive them in Thunderbird :) Thank you in advance, guys!

I have a userChrome.css to change the color of unread messages in the "list of messages" pane to orange:

/* Messagepane text */ treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(new) {

       color: #34ebdc !important;
       font-weight: normal;

} treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(unread) {

       color: #34c6eb !important;
       font-weight: normal !important;

}

This worked fine in TB 102 and prior. When I upgraded to TB 115 this no longer has any effect. I'm not sure if the userChrome.css is being ignored or if the styling elements in userChrome.css have changed.

I'm on Windows 11 and userChrome.css is located in 2 places: C:\Users\$username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\$profile.default\chrome\userChrome.css C:\Users\$username\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\$profile.default\chrome\userChrome.css

In thunderbird 115,

I have clicked "hide message list header" and cannot find a way to show it again

how do you unhide it ?

Hi,

I'm trying to diagnose a random problem I'm having (SOME emails I delete disappear from the inbox and 5 seconds later they reappear).

I can't predict when this will happen, so I'd like to just send logging data to a file. I followed the instructions at https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging and no log file is created.

I set mailnews.imap.loglevel to "All" (without quote marks).

Still no log file and looking at the Error Console, as I gleaned from another reply on this forum, yields nothing whenever I delete an email (whether successfully or not).

Thanks!

Hi,

after updating to new Thunderbird 115.0 menu bar appeared below tool bar and I couldn't find a way how to put it above as in previous versions. Please see attached image. Any idea?

Thank you.

can i go back to ver 102?? can't seem to find how to do this online importexporttool ng is grey out not avail. on new version i save dozens of emails from thunderbird to my computer for 'eternal' storage in pdf format & remove them from thunderbird but can't find an easy way to do this now if i try to save as they all go to a folder with .eml suffix which i don't want, if i try to print to pdf i have to name ea. file & if i try to save them to jpg i have to say 'ok' to ea. file i tried to do 119 files this morning & gave up, hate upgrades that change such important things

Like many others, I'm seriously considering going back to v112 because I find SO many of the changes in 115 "change for the sake of change," "fixing" things that weren't broken, and breaking functionality that we thought was stable. Not keeping thins like the default font that was selected in the previous version before the upgrade is just plain annoying.

I use Thunderbird to manage many email accounts across different profiles. Not all accounts show up in unified folders, although all accounts are visible in the "All folders" view. Is there any way to "reset" anything to fix this? The Unified folders "Inbox" view in 112 was the best way to see all accounts that had new messages.

Migrated for old PC which showed all emails listed sorted by date in the Unified Inbox. New PC lists email accounts but only visible by individual email account. The unified inbox folder is blank. Version 115.2.2
