I tried the Toolbar fixes in this forum and got the menu to show up, thank you. (Any menu in Compose mode had disappeared. Actually, both Firefox and Thunderbird icons on desktop and Taskbar had disappeared as well, and I had to reinstate shortcuts. This may or may not be pertinent.)

But when I try to add "Send" to the menu, using customize, the "Send" icon is nowhere to be found as an option, so I cannot add it to the Toolbar in Composition mode. "Send" is grayed out in all bold textmenus. If I use Ctrl-Enter, message does get sent. Using Windows 10, still. Perhaps this is an upgrade issue?

Most of my buttons have disappeared except the send button, which doesn't work. Online help is confusing or doesn't fix the problem. I'm ready to move to a different platform. Why is this so difficult?

Running "Mozilla Thunderbird v115.18.0 (64-bit)" on my Windows 7 laptop. I want the Inbox to display "Headers" such as "Date", "Size", etc. But I cannot seem to make this happen. Please help me. Thank you, Ron

Thunderbird just updated and the next time I opened it all of the folders I created and the emails I'm storing within them are missing. I found my profile as directed. I'm not sure if I have a backup of it. I've included the screenshot as you ask for. I know that those folders and emails are there as I was playing around with the the 3 lines > View and when I moved between the different choices I saw my folders/emails are all in there.

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated!

The Thunderbird icon use to come up on the bottom portion of my screen upon opening the system, I must have hit the wrong key I am a senior and not that into computers. How do I get the icon to come up automatically.

In Thunderbird, how can I stop text in the previous emails in a string turning blue?

I have looked everywhere in Settings where colour is mentioned and everything is set to black text on a white background. Nothing is set to blue.

I do not want to see blue text anywhere.

Please advise.

The SEND button has vanished in Thunderbird. I don't recall changing anything or performing any updates, though my memory is getting to be unreliable.. In addition, the LINK button has vanished as well. I imagine I did or am doing something stupid and it's an easy fix, but what that might be totally escapes me..

When writing a new message, the Menu bar does not display so I cannot Send a composed message. This happened all of the sudden, and I have unsuccessfully searched to find out how to restore the Menu Bar. My 32 bit Thunderbird is up to date. Up to date Windows 11, & Firefox (default browser). Thanks for your help. Bob

I did something stupid. I cleaned the keyboard with the monitor off and Thunderbird open. My classic display shows all of my messages as a single sheet. If I select a message it only displays the header. I have to click on that to display the message. I found that can happen in a pop account if it is turned on. But I don't know where to find it to turn it off? I am blessed ? with more emails than any human should have and it requires an extraordinary effort to delete all this garbage or to unsubscribe. Thank you I have been chasing this thing for 2 days.

My send button has disappear from my Thunderbird Email Client. I can still send messages by using <Ctl> Enter, but I would still like to get my send button back. Everything works well, including my "send later" add on.

I have reloaded Thunderbird, I have rebooted my system and <Send> is still gone.

Any ideas on how I can get it back , without deleting my program and re-installing it.

I have been using Thunderbird since over 7years, facing issue since few days. Have my personal mail linked to my website hosted on a unix server. All sent mails were earlier visible in Sent folder. But now since a week only yesterday's mails are visible. All previous mails are in a subfolder by year 2026 in Archive. This makes it difficult to search sent emails. While this is not an issue for the Inbox where I can see emails from 2017. Please suggest how can I restore all my previously sent emails since always, to my Sent folder.

This is more of a suggestion than a question.

I have been enjoying Thunderbird's Email account immensely, however there is one area of the interface that drives me a bit batty.

I really like using the Unified inbox, so that I can see all of the new emails from all of the accounts connected to the interface. However, I would love to see some kind of change to the interface that would reduce the duplicate notifications I get when new messages get downloaded.

When a new message comes in I get multiple notifications for it, one in the unified inbox and one in the local folders (two notifs for the same message). Additionally if I delete a new email without opening it I get notifications for trash and even spam (I really have no desire to see those ever again, they were deleted or put in spam for reasons). As you can imagine if this happens with the three or four accounts attached (especially after a few days without opening it), it can get overwhelming trying to sort how many new emails I REALLY have.

If there was a way to modify the code involved to only report the unified (or individual) inbox rather than it and the local folders and trash and spam, it would be even better than it already is.

Thank you for your time! I hope this is a suggestion that can be integrated in upcoming updates.

Sincerely, DDRandall

So thunderbird mail has this system where old emails spread horizontally across the top of the screen in small icons and if you select and open an older email from the sidebar for the inbox and then want to return to the inbox, the only way I have found to return to the inbox is to click and hold the left arrow on that horizontal bar at the top with the email icons. This is too time consuming. Is there a faster way? Also, is that bar necessary? Why not just have a system that uses the sidebar that actually identifies the individual emails.

Windows 11 Pro 64bit. I actually want to customise the tool bar - right click on that, you get 'Customise Menu", which does nothing. All I'm trying to do is recover the layout I had before this update. Calendar is missing for example.

Hi folks, I'm a happy Thunderbird user since more than 20 years.

I just updated my TB to Version V.153.0.1esr.

Then I want to compose an eMail and suddenly I recognized the two Menus with File, Edit, View and Send.... Attach are gone.

Normally from the top to the buttom I see the following menu lines: 1. Write: (no subject).... 2. File Edit View... 3. Send........ and Attach at the end 4. From.. 5. To... 6. Subject 7. The line with Paragraph etc. 8. The area to put my email text in

The lines 2. and 3. are fully gone.

Can you please give an answer how to reactive the lines 2. und 3. during composing an eMail?
