Tags summary display has disappeared.

I can search for tags, but the convenient "tags folder" is gone. Please help.

Tried in safe mode with add-ons and toolbars/controls disabled. Error console is empty when assigning or removing tags.

Is there currently a way to add a searchable comment or text note to incoming emails? I often wish for a way to help organize and/or find notes about specific topics that aren't listed in the subject or body of the text. If there is not a field or other way to do this, can it be added? Thanks

Hello. How to display categories in messages (applied in Thunderbird for Windows) ? On Thunderbird for windows messages are displayed withe the color of the category. Best regards.

When I let thunderbird compress the inbox and other folders, the not read flags on all new emails get reset as if I have read all of the new emails. Compressing the inbox and other folders should have no effect on the flags showing a message has not yet been read. That only makes sense. The not read flags getting reset started happening several versions before 145.

I've come over from Postbox as that app is no longer being supported. In Postbox there was one file (panacea.dat) that controlled how many old locations you would see in the Move To menu. Once the number of items got to be a bit too muchj, I would delete that file and it would clear the Move To menu item. Is there such a file in Thunderbird that controls the Move To menu, or can it somehow be controlled by a setting in Thunderbird? Thank you.

I think I understand the difference between "folders" and Gmail "labels". So, I'm curious. When Thunderbird synchronizes with Gmail, does it create local physical folders for each of the Gmail labels in use, or does it use the Gmail label scheme locally? If a message in Gmail has two different labels attached to it, are there actually two copies of the message created locally in separate folders or not?

I sometimes want to give Message Labels two different colors. But it stays in the first selected color. It would be great if, regardless of how many I select in the Message Labels column, they appeared as small boxes with their colors (like Outlook). The current state might be good, but with multiple options, the list view mode and the reading view mode seem illogical.

In short, the same colors as the multiple boxes in the Reading section should also appear in the mailing list.

I think that's how it should be logically.

Up until last week my Thuberbird Gmail account had "All Mail" and "Archives"

I've recreated the gmail link, enabled/disabled gmail label but it refuses to change

The problem is best shown in the images where the Gmail link is to All Mail but the name is Archives

Am having an issue with creating a “new folder” in my inbox. I create the folder, shut Thunderbird down, re-open it and the folder is not there. Did this three times, same result. A

lso, having an issue with tagging. I will click on an email, right click, and nothing happens. I have to click on another email, click the original email, then I can tag it. I suspect a corrupted profile but, not sure. Any ideas?

My Tags window & folder [View, Folders, Tags] layout stopped properly displaying all my items with the appropriate "tag" set in the past few updates to T'bird. I recently switched to version 140.4.0esr but the problem existed before that in 140.2.1 as well. Is there any way to force a "rebuild" of the Tags window so that all my tagged items show in their appropriate categories, with appropriate statuses [read/unread, etc]? Otherwise, the Tag feature is no longer useful.

Witam, Mam problem następujący. Co jakiś czas z mojego konta znikają wszystkie etykiety jakie mam na poszczególnych mailach. Co może być przyczyną? Czy da się jakoś przywrócić je??

There is an mystery icon like an orange dot that appears alongside certain messages in the message list. I have attached a picture. Can anyone explain what it indicates.

I can tell you that it is NOT any of the following.

• Unread message indicator (these are shown in bold and have a green dot in another column)
• Junk mail indicator
• Threading indicator

All suggestions gratefully received.

I recently had to reinstall TBird 144. Now it does not display the TAG selections in the email headers. My program inbox is set to view: Classic, Folder and Message pane. The attached jpg show how it used to look. Thanks in advance.

This article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail#w_understanding-gmail-labels-and-thunderbird-folders is not up to date and it isn't clear to me to what extent (if at all) add-ons are still required to sync labels between Google and Thunderbird contacts. The article points to two add-ons: Google-4-TbSync TbSync but Thunderbird already syncs both Calendar and Contacts with Google without add-ons. What's the story?
