Add the ability to save e-mails in text format via a message filter

When reading an e-mail in a folder, whether the Inbox or some saved mail folder within Thunderbird, I have the option under the "More Actions" drop down to perform a "Save As" to save a file to my hard drive in one of 4 different formats (Mail Files, HTML Files, Text Files, or All Files). Since all the required functionality is already in Thunderbird, could the "Save As" feature be added to the Message Filter creation function so that could be an option for saving e-mails as well ? The destination hard drive directory could be selected in the creation setup in the filter and then add a date modifier for an effective file naming capability (i.e. <filename>-`date`-<incrementing version>.txt where version just auto increments for multiple files on the same day). I can't seem to find any add-ons that work for version 60.3.3 and it seems that a number of people are looking for this kind of solution. I am running Thunderbird 60.3.3 on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. I sincerely appreciate your consideration of this suggestion.

Why isn't Thunderbird saving my messages locally?

I have four accounts set up on Thunderbird. On all 4 of them I have set storage to delete messages more than 360 days old. On three accounts this works fine, but on one, the first one I set up, it never saves more than 30 days worth of messages. What could be going on that makes it different from the others? On all 4 accounts the email servers are set to delete messages more than 30 days old. As I understand it this shouldn't effect local storage and archiving of emails. But again, why would this work on three of the accounts, but not on the fourth?
Any help greatly appreciated.

When I click into Tools>Account Settings I use to get the Account Settings Panel. Which allowed me to change auto signature settings.
Now I get a small box open up called Account Settings, with Account Actions that only give me the ability to set up new email accounts and not access to my existing email accounts.
How do I get the Account Setting Panel back?

The email address auto-fill function on the latest T-bird (v60.3.2) is terribly slow. Takes a good 5 seconds for each address to auto-fill, and locks-out all other keyboard activity. Earlier version of T-Bird filled almost instantly. Five seconds doesn't sound like much, but multiplied for hundreds of email addresses entered and it's a significant bottleneck.

I was running Firefox Nightly, opened about:profiles and launched a new instance with a different profile from there. At this time, the green update icon indicated there was an update in queue which was then installed right before starting the new Firefox instance, while the old instance was still running. At first everything was fine, my other profile launched, I did my work, closed it and after some more time also closed my main profile. But then when I restarted Nightly, it brought up a Mozilla Crash Report pretty much instantly... My profile is broken
I could work-around this by starting Firefox Beta which prompted me to Refresh the profile... Now I can launch Firefox again, but all the settings from about:config and my extension settings are gone. Is there any way to bring back those settings?
I made a backup of the profile before the refresh so I'm positive the data is still somewhere... However, just copying the profile.js file doesn't work, then I will get the prompt again to refresh my profile...

Thunderbird updated to 60.2.1 and Lightning disappeared. I followed the guidance in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird, and got Lightning back (V6.2.2.1). However, in Get Add-ons, it is still grayed out and listed as "incompatible with your version of Thunderbird", which is a bit disconcerting. My life is in my calendar, and I can't afford compatibility issues.
Is this just a matter of the add-ons library not having the most up-to-date version (or a bad compatibility checker), but what was somehow magically reloaded into my Thunderbird is completely fine? Or is the latest version that has been reloaded actually still incompatible in some way, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall with problems that will turn up later?

Hi every one I have project with which I have managed to hide the status bar on mouse over using the useChrome.css. So you don't see the URl on mouse over. We are using Openkiosk based on Firefox as a information screen to describe what people are looking at in a chapel, the stain glass windows in fact. its a touch screen device not connected to the internet in any way. This has black html pages and the only thing I cant get rid of is when you click on the next link is it flashes the URL link from localhost. I can simulate this with moving the mouse pointer away/off the url link.
I just wondered if anyone knows the code to stop this, I have been looking for days and I cant find it anywhere.

The "comment" sections on various news sites (WSJ, Politico, WaPo, etc.) are always flaky for me under Firefox. The symptom is clicking the comments button/link does nothing- the comments do not show on the web page.
I have tried the Make-A-New-Profile trick and the Clear Cache/Cookies thing- which seems to work most of the time but then after a few days it's back again.
This is getting really frustrating. I have both Edge and Chrome browsers installed and they work 100%. I've read here that it may be caused by a corrupt cookie or cache (hence the new profile trick) but if that's really the problem how do the other browsers get around this?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I updated to 60.3.2 (32-bit) yesterday, using a Win7 (64-bit) machine with 4G of RAM, an AMD Turion II Dual Core M520 2.3G CPU, and an SSD. My main email is IMAPed to Gmail.
I've been using Thunderbird for several years with no problems, but this update has made my email SUPER slow!! When I click on "Write", it takes about 30 seconds to open the window. Then when I start to type the address in the "To" field, I get about 3 characters in before it stops responding for anywhere from 30-60 seconds. Then the window minimizes, and when I open it there's an address plugged in.
