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

TB Theme Customization -how to get Light theme and light tab text

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

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

duplicate of /questions/1505844 thread.

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.

Oh, woe is me. I had both Thunderbird and Firefox open on my desktop, and thought I was typing into Firefox's address bar. But Thunderbird was actually 'live' (selected?) on the desktop, so that's where my keystrokes went. Not sure what I typed or where the cursor was, but suddenly I have two folders in the left Thunderbird pane that I can't figure out how to get rid of. They are both just above my Local Folders: Templates and Archives folders for one email account, and an Archives for another. All three folders are empty (Archives had "2025" subfolders, but I was able to delete those). Keyboard strokes generated these, but they don't delete. What can I do? Can I navigate with Windows Explorer to where these folders actually reside and delete them there? I sure don't want to mess anything up. Many thanks in advance!
