Both my wife and I use Thunderbird ver. 60.4.0. When someone responds to my email and changes the font to red so that the response can be more easily seen, I can see the red font on my computer. On my wife's computer it only shows as a black font. How can I fix or change her computer so that she may also see the response in red? Thanks.

For my work email I HAVE to use Outlook 2016 - boo, but I don't have a choice.

For my personal email I use Thunderbird (now 60.4.0). My work Outlook allows me to make new inbound messages that have not been read yet appear in BOLD and in a different colour.

I've researched trying to accomplish this in ThunderBird, and thought I could do it with Filtering. Filtering allows me to change the colour of a new message to RED in my inbox with by applying a "tag of 1" on an un-read message. The snag is that I cannot un-do the filtering once the message is read. If it would allow me to create a filter that would apply a tag of ZERO (remove all tags) when a message is read it would be dandy - but only tag options 1-5 appear, no ZERO.

I also read that by creating a "chrome" folder in the profile folder, and a file called userChrome.css would do the trick for un-read messages until they are read. I tried copying/pasting numerous different configurations in notepad and saving as userChrome.css, but it doesn't change a single thing.

I've spent several hours reading on how to do this, but most posts I find are quite dated, and I cannot find anything around the userChrome.css file for Thunderbird 60.4

Any ideas would be most appreciated.


Regards,

TBguy :)

I have set the layout in Thunderbird to Classic view but every time I start it, it is defaulting to Wide View.

I have to manually select Message Pane and Folder Pane to get t looking how I want.

How can I make this view "sticky".

It worked fine for me until recently when for some reason Wide View became the default.

Does anyone know how to highlight in the 65.0beta version of Thunderbird?

I can change the color of text and the whole pages background color but I can't highlight specific text only. I searched for an add on and had no luck. All the add on's I could find stated that they are not compatible with the 65.0beta version.

I frequently highlight text in email correspondence. I can do this in Microsoft word and every other email application I have used. I am resorting to saving my email in Thunderbird and opening it up in my old email application to highlight and then send the email. It's really annoying!

These keep being archived for some reason.

It is inexcusable that mozilla changed the plugin API without bothering to integrate even the most basic features that thunderbird RELIED ON ADDONS to do.
