Not sure if this Settings or what.

I was attempting to add a gmail address (one of mine) to Thunderbird. I got what you see in the attached. It's taking up one of my two entire monitors. (I'm writing via the 2nd monitor.) There's no title bar. The listed links don't work Ctrl F4 to close the window doesn't work. It's stuck there (Hung).

AND, "ALLOW" doesn't appear.

I'm going to have to reboot. But I really need to set this up.

Thanks, Kami

How can I remove the distracting dashed border that sits in the margin of the Compose / Write window? See the attached graphic.

Is there a setting to remove it? Perhaps I can tweak the CSS to make the color match the background so it disappears?

I have tried MANY times to make Firefox remain persistent as my browser. It appears I should log into an Administrative account to do so. Microsoft Edge appears to be the problem by remaining the default. I was told by the Tech Sprt for my Asus laptop to "delete" Edge. I entered the Administrative account using DOS. So many changes have taken place since I last used this account that I'm uncomfortable trying to take this approach. I was led to an administrative directory using "search" end while there was able to get a directory listing using DOS. But can't proceed. I really need the Windows pictorial version to proceed or technical support (preferred). Whoever helps must be fully capable.

Asus TS said I must delete MS Edge. The person seemed capable, but if I delete Edge, which I haven't found a way to do so safely, that may create problems but makes sense to do so because of the interference of MS Edge. My memory on how to proceed is that this process was MUCH less complex. I've read a number accounts by others with the same problem. My reasons for using Firefox, as an private engineer are to help prevent the stealing of intellectual property from wherever. Otherwise I'll have to abandon everything.

I changed a pop email password (on Earthlink) for one of my accounts, but I couldn't locate where I change it in Thunderbird. I've searched account settings, but I don't see it there.

I WAS able to change the password when I got a popup the second time I tried to send it, which let me change the password .... and it mentioned Password Manager. But "Password Manager" does not come up in Settings when I type it in the Search box.

Is there an option to save the sender's address into the address book automatically when replying to an email? Where is it? I think I need to turn it off!!

I have been having enormous trouble with emails from a group of people who use the same 'noreply' return address. It seems that the name of one of these people was inserted into my address book together with the 'noreply' email address. Every email received from the group over the recent past has been overwritten by that name as being the sender.

I don't know if, at some time in the past, I (accidentally?) hit the reply button triggering an update to the address book - or what else could have happened.

I found the record concerned in the address book and deleted it, which has stopped the problem. But I need to stop the problem recurring.

I've spent days trying to sort this out and am now totally confused so I do hope my explanation above is clear. Please point me in the right direction for a solution

My question: is there a way to force a light TB theme and use white tab background text color?

I installed a theme add-on which I like except the associated dark theme. I want to use the theme image with a light TB theme but it appears the tab background text color determines the theme color (light or dark). This image has some darker colors and a light/white tab text looks the best, but this color seems to force a dark theme for the rest of TB (White text ->dark theme). If I change the manifest file to use a different tab background text color I can change the overall theme to light or dark. Using a darker or black tab background text color the theme changes to a light theme. Light tab background text color changes to a dark theme and darker tab background text colors forces a light them. I'm guessing there is a threshold 1/2 way between black and white text that will force the theme one way or another.

The articles I have read on this json file don't provide any examples and this is as far as I have been able to get. I'm new to both TB and modifying this json file. Any help would be appreciated

Hello. I would like tell about a problem. Before the icon was black, but now it is WHITE. it’s so ugly! I wanna change it to black color. how I can do it? I don’t want to do it through “shortcuts” because it sands me notifications. I hope that you will add this possibility or already it is possible. заранее спасибо!

I know how to place the preview pane on right with the vertical layout, but I would like to switch the place of the preview pane with one of the message tray pane. In other words, I want set the panes in a orders like the folder pane, the preview pane, and the message tray pane from left to right. I do not know how to do it so I would happy if anyone teach me how.

After using Thunderbird and the Calendar - synced to my Google Calendar - for many years I find myself with a new installation of Tbird on a new PC running Windows 11. I've got the calenders all setup and synced and everything, but when I try to set notifications the only choice available is "Show an alert". It also used to offer "Send an email". I want the ability to send those email notifications, not just phone alerts. I've looked through the settings and don't see anything obvious. So how do I get it to send notifications via email? Thanks, --Brian

I suddenly can't see message body when opening Thunderbird. I only see a list of every email received but cannot read it in the opening window. I need to double click.

I had enail from The New York Times <nytdirect@nytimes.com> in my addess/inbpx. After some thunderbird update it is reguar ly appears in address/Junk folder and I ca not permanently return it to inbox. The New York Times <nytdirect@nytimes.com>i did enter it in personal address book because it promised not to send in Junk items mensioned in apersonal address book - effect, next day again in Junk. I right click on address in message text when in Junk folder and asked to deliver the messages in inbox before analizing for junk - again null effect.On clicking "Not Junk a particular message it sometimes opens in inbox but onl for this time, and next messages with The New York Times <nytdirect@nytimes.com> again surface in Junk folder. My subscription tp NT is active andthey regularly are sending me newsletters and alerts. I can not find what Thunderbird think mark the junk message. So I ask to tell me hhow to return this The New York Times <nytdirect@nytimes.com> to mu inbox and take it off the Junk folder.

On my Win PC, the version 102.15.1 (32-bit) Thunderbird Inbox Message Preview Pane headers are double spaced and takes up 1/3 of the bottom right pane. I have many email accounts listed to left, message lists to top right and Message Preview Pane at bottom right. I want the headers to be single spaced instead of the default double space so this part of window takes less space and allows for more items to be seen in message list at top.

What setting in Advance Config controls the spacing? Previous versions did not have this double spacing, as I recall. I know that the pane can be moved lower but that defeats the purpose of having it there to see first part of message content.
