Hi friends,

I already searched for this topic and found that there should exist a file named "msgFilterRules.dat" - but there isn't such file nowhere on the whole drive.

Looks like the message filter rules are actually stored in a file with another name...

But what's that name?

Best regards rumbero

Hi,

I'm looking for a method of customising the preview pane headers so that it displays more than From: To: Subject: and Tags: but I can't find an add-on that does this.

In particular I'm looking to display the Resent-From: header or even better any headers that match a regular expression I specify.

Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks

Hello friends,

As the title of the subject entails, I am trying to disable Firefox's new translation tool, becasue I'm using a 3rd party extension.

I tried to follow the solution on the following support thread ( [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1434741#question-reply] ), but it didn't work for me, and I'm still seeing the new translate button.

Is there another way to fix this?

I'm using Firefox 129.0.1 (64bit) for MacOS.

Does an imported TB profile overwrite the existing files in a new TB install?

I set up one existing account and have imported the profile for all my TB accounts. I am hesitant to import all of the profiles because of the one (oldest account) could be overwritten and TB did not leave any messages on the gmail IMAP server.

The other accounts do not exist on the new install (new machine)

I'm using MAC OS 14.6.1 on an M3 iMac

I am developing a django website.

The login on the default admin page is not working when I am testing locally on my mobile. I assume it is because the connection is http (and not https) in order to protect the users (which is a good thing).

I assumed this is the problem, because on chrome, I got also blocked, but I got this hint.

Therefore following 2 stories:

  • As a user, I wish I receive a feedback when something is blocked by the browser, so that I understand what is happening.
  • As a developer, I wish I could allow login on whitelisted sites (local websites like 192.* ?), so that I can test my website on android without creating self-signed-certificates.

If my assumptions are wrong (but the server did not receive any call), do you know, how I can visualize the network calls on android?

In an effort to rid myself of a bug in Thunderbird ver115 I just installed ver127 on a seperate computer. I know there's a version 128 available but according to reports here on the forum, ver128 seems to suffer from the same probielm that I'm seeing in 115 - so for the time being, it's ver 127.

Until now I've been used to seeing a list of emails in the upper half of Thunderbird's window and also seeing the email contents in a lower window (see attached screenshot). But in ver127 I only see the upper list and I don't see the email contents if I click on them. Anyway to get the contents window back?
