When T-Bird sends a message with an in-content photo, is that photo compressed to save space and transmission time?

I converted from Eudora. Eudora would compress in-content photos to save space and transmission time.

If T-Bird performs a similar action, is that compressed file saved somewhere?

So many emails require me to scroll to the right to finish reading one line, back to the left for the next, etc. They hurt my head, they take fireever to read, and they hurt my right arm too. Thunderbird used to have an option to wrap messages, but it looks like it was deleted.

I tried adding the following tom my user css:

1. messagepane {

   margin-left: 45pt !important;
   max-width: 900px !important;
   margin-right: 45pt !important;

}

The margin-left works. It gives a spacer between the message pane and the folder list.

The max-width and margin-right don't work. The messages still require horizontal scrolling, and the scrollbar shifts left, right up against the text, so it doesn't give the needed spacer.

I use the spacers to avoid the parallax-induced migraines.

I activated Relay in outgoing responses to moveon.org. How do I deactivate Relay? I don't want to use it, but it seems to be a "forever" add-on!

bold textA little while ago, all of the messages coming into my Thunderbird app, do not expand graphics etc in the email. I just get strings of code and web stuff.. I cannot find the setting in my Thunderbird that will cause it to automatically translate all of these codes. Help please !

I just downloaded Thunderbird to my new computer. It worked fine for a short while. Then it started deleting new emails as soon as they were imported. How can I stop this from happening?

Please consider a slight change in the new feature where on the bottom right we have an opportunity to click on "as read" or "delete". Great time saver, but for heaven's sake you bring up the Thunderbird anyway. Come on ! ! ! ? The short cut is so we don't have to bring it up. What good is this new feature if it is exactly the same number of clicks as if you didn't have this new feature. Walt

I cannot often download emails via a hotspot. Sometimes one or two will come, then it will just stop. I get two different error messages. Most of the time I start with the "Home folder is being processed," then it will refuse to write to the disk. I have no issues at home or on wifi, only with a hotspot connection.

Since we frequently camp where there is no internet, this is a bit of a bother. This is xfinity email over a tmobile hotspot. Thanks for any hints.

This morning I was receiving e-mails in TB as normal. This afternoon my e-mails have stopped (sending/receiving) and I have seen a message " Connection to server pop.virginmedia.com was reset. "

I have tried turning the PC off and on - no effect. In FireFox I can connect to web pages as normal but my e-mail has stopped working. A couple of days ago I changed my Virgin router but only now has my e-mail stopped. I can receive e-mails on my Kindle but not on my Windows 11 PC.

How can I reconnect to the internet, please?

Thank you,

How to remove extraneous characters in email content? (i.e. =, 3D and sometimes others) Some google suggests changing thunderbird encoding.

(1) If that is the answer... HOW to do that and to WHAT should it be changed to?

(2) Also, When I click "Edit as new message", the extraneous characters do not show up!

(3) thunderbird 140.4.0esr (64-bit) Eclipse (Win 11, but thunderbird reports it as win10) Thanks, jason53

Example1: (= sign and new line should not be there on the line below) was made to be emailed = to you.

Example2: (3D should not be there) Password =3D xxxxxx

Hey

Thunderbird has a well-functioning Search function that uses the cache (or rather, what the background search process/function "read" and saved in global-messages-db.sqlite).

With a newly configured account (IMAP), it works like this:

- establishes the directory tree - downloads message titles (including sender, date, etc.) - *.msf summary files - then a process that downloads the entire message for local storage - in the background, an indexing process (GLODA?) starts, which creates a search database (subject, from, to, keywords in the message body) using the global-messages-db.sqlite file.

For very large mailboxes (>100k msg, ~50GB), this means that the server's content is transferred to the local disk (and stored in ImapMail).

The question is: how do I configure TB to run in "thin" mode, meaning after connecting a new account: - establish a directory tree - download message titles (including sender, date, etc.) -> *.msf - DO NOT download messages for local storage - start the indexing process, which will download and index the subject, from, to, and keywords in the message body (it will download and "read" the message, but not save it locally) and save it to global-messages-db.sqlite

Setting "mail.server.default.offline_download" to "false" will cause this behavior, but the message body will not be indexed (only from, to, and subject).

I tried to work around this by: - configuring the mailbox with the download option for offline use - waiting for it to download - setting "mail.server.default.offline_download" to "false" - deleting all "cur" directories (I use maildir) or deleting all *.eml files from the ImapMail directory.

Content search works for messages that have been downloaded (and indexed) previously; it doesn't work for new messages.

Why am I trying this? Some people have "air" laptops (meaning - weaker processors, small SSDs) and need access to email (via IMAP), including full search, without having all their email downloaded locally.

In other words, how can I configure TB via IMAP to: - download the directory and subdirectory tree - download the headers of all messages - "read" and index all messages (including their content) and store them in "global-messages-db.sqlite," but not store all messages locally (online mode only)?

Over the past few weeks, emails have suddenly started migrating from my inbox into my trash. I can put them back into my inbox easily enough but it's really annoying.

The interesting thing about these emails is that, when they go into the trash folder, they stay there. I have my Thunderbird settings so that any emails I actually delete don't go into the trash but simply disappear.

Can anybody explain why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Thank you

I am getting the following message using Thunderbird "login to server imap.comcast.net with user id pspringer11@comcast.net failed" it worked until yesterday afternoon please help

Hi I get an error message that says "The connection to the pop3 server has timed out". What do I do? I haven't received any emails since wednesday at 3:14 PM. We use an email account fra a company called Yousee. When I check the server connection all info is correct. Please help as fast as possible as we use the mail every day in our company.

Dear friends, This is another question of the type "it has stopped to work after years of perfect service". I do: Tools/Message filters/. The filters are for me (only user). The "Enabled filters" drop-down list shows 238 items with virtually everyone enabled. Then I select folder to be filtered in the input window at the bottom; my "Sent" folder. Then, when I click the button "Run Now", nothing, absolutely nothing, happens. Normally Thunderbird lists messages like "Moved x mails from Sent to folder Y" .

Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-bit) under Windows 10 which was first removed whereupon it was downloaded and reinstalled.

Hopefully someone has a suggestion where I can check for the cause of this error? Ch

When I add attachments when replying to emails, the file icons on those attachments don't display. This only happens when replying, the file icons display when receiving emails. Have tried many things to fix this including using ChatGTP with no luck. What can I do to fix this?
