I have inbox so that the messages are below the subject, correspondent and date lines. This is OK but I need to show more of the headings. Can anyone show me how to reduce the height of the subject line please. Many thanks..........Joe

when i print emails the email content & subject/to-from/date header info is fine. But TBird also prints the subject at the top of page in smaller print and wrong font.

I like the easy to find subject, but how can i change the font & size to something i, not the software, prefer? do i need to do this in FFox?

Using win10 home, TBird 115.12.2 (64-bit). [not using latest version, because terrified i'll have to spend another 4-6 hours configuring like i had to for 115*]

thx for any illumination. ***please keep in mind i am NOT an IT professional & actually an IT klutz***

I've installed Thunderbird on my Pixel 9 Pro. I used my Linux Fedora Thunderbird to generate a QR code to get my Android Thunderbird established. Android Thunderbird is working ok but my contacts from the Linux Thunderbird did not come over and writing emails from there is difficult without my contacts. How do I port over the Linux Fedora Thunderbird contacts to my Android Thunderbird?

Aiming to reduce memory used by my email. I have both Sent and Sent Mail folders. My preference would be to eliminate the duplication that takes place with the two. I understand that I can not unsubscribe from Sent Mail. Could Sent content be reduced to the items that are NOT in Sent Mail? Alternatives? My Sent folder contains more older files which I would like to retain but do not want to "try" something that MIGHT eliminate them. I am on a Mac23 with Latest Sonoma. Thunderbird on Gmail.

I have received an HTML-formatted message, which arrived with a red background colour. When I reply or forward that message, the message composition window appears with the same red background colour, and with black text. The resulting black text on a red background is hard to read.

How can I change the background colour of the reply or forwarded message which I am composing? How can I override the background colour set by the sender in the original message?

Note that I am asking about the background colour of a message which was set by the sender. I am not asking about how to set the default colour of messages I compose from scratch. Nor am I asking about how to set the background colour of Thunderbird windows or UI elements.

Thank you in advance.

Once in a while I would like to email a company with a question or comment and I go to their website, click on an email link and thunderbird email pops up an it is useless. I use Gmail and literally half of the business world is out of reach do to the use of thunderbird. I do not want to use thunderbird I have to many "apps" to deal with already. Still it would be nice to be able to contact people at their chosen email.

What is the fix?

I need some help please. For several weeks my emails have not appeared as they usually would - especially ones from organisations that would have images and text. Either they are blank. Or they just have some sequences of letters numbers etc repeated. Or they still have no images, there is some text in black but mostly lots of https: followed by 4-5 lines in blue and if clicked on it takes me to their website. If I open my account on Webmail these emails appear more or less as normal. I have sought help (checked I have up to date version, tried taking it off and putting it back on - made no difference) and been told I need to contact my service provider. I do hope you can help me sort this out. And in simple language! Keryn

Hi,

I had an old question about PDF's showing inside the email, but I did not have evidence. I now have a pdf that shows in line, in Thunderbird, and one that does not.

Would this help in developing and allowing Thunderbird to show Pdfs in line?

Thanks a lot

Good day, Thank you for your time, its much appreciated So My primary email account provider only permits me to receive but not send emails. Consequently I had to load Gmail in order to send mail. However in spite of all the correct settings gmail also refuses to send. Can you please resque me from this frustration.

Greetngs to all,

                         I'm using Thunderbird Version 128.2.0esr with Windows 11.

I have clicked on View/Folder/Unified Folders but none og my IMAP accounts are listed.

Can anyone please advuise how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

             Scott

All of a sudden, without installing a new release, no change to settings, send does not work any more. Windows 12 TB 128.3 I push send, screens gets less contrasted and nothing happens. I bypass the problem by leaving the message, saving it to drafts and with my smartphone I srnd the draft! Something else happens since some time, do not know if it is related: when I open TB and go to inbox, it shows an inbox that's not up to date. After a minute it refreshes to the present inbox. Pls help, TY

Forum says you need a screenshot to help diagnose but Thunderbird doesn't allow screenshot of settings... So, Server Settings:

 Server Type:  IMAP Mail Server
 Server Name: imap-mail.outlook.com  Port: 993

Security Settings

 Connection security:  SSL/TLS
 Authentication method:  Normal Password

Running Thunderbird 115.10.1 (32 bit) Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings Microsoft Live Hotmail - smtp-mail.outlook.com (Default) Windows 11 Home V 23H2

I've tried everything I can think of and read/tried lots of suggestions including turning off firewall, password changes, etc. I don't recall any updates or changes to anything when the problem started several days ago. Exasperated. Thanks for any help.

(PS - I do, on occasion, send a few $ to Mozilla. ;-) Thanks for your time.

After the update to Thunderbird 128.3.1esr on October 10th I can no longer download my email. What did they change and when do they plan to fix it? The broken email is causing a financial burden on my company. Please help!

I have a lot of IMAP folders with a lot of old mail. In order to reduce remote server space usage I would like to move all mail older than 30 days to its equivalent local archive folder.

I can do this easily on a per-folder basis by selecting messages and selecting Organise > Archive from the right-click menu. But if I use the search facility to get all mail in all folders older than 30 days, there is no option to move the selected mail to its equivalent local archive folder.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Just a couple days ago I started having issues with some emails from trusted senders that I never had before. When I open the emails, I get this message that I took a picture of. It's related to Apple messages & someone's iphone. I don't own an iphone & have no clue why this started happening recently. Like I said, it doesn't happen to all my emails, just certain ones. Looking at my picture posted, does anyone have an idea what's going on with this?

Running 128.4.2esr (64-bit) on Mac Book Pro (14-inch, 2021 - Apple M1 Max).

I have been using Thunderbird across multiple accounts for years, and have collected a really decent amount of email history. Quick-Filters have always formed a large part of my workflow to find emails from given people. I do not take the time to filter messages into sub-folders etc, but rely on these tools to access the mails I need to get to.

In these recent versions, the Quick Filters have stopped working for me across all of my accounts.

When I attempt to use them, by entering a part of someone's email address, or part of a known subject, then click on the filter type I want to use, the indictor to show that the filter is active never changes. I use a dark theme, and expect the filter option to show it's actively applied with the light blue indicator on the filter's button. - This never happens.

In addition, while the displayed contents of the mailbox folder change, the filter itself is never appropriately applied to limit the content which is shown.

I had been sitting patiently on the sidelines hoping that this would be fixed in a new release, but I can't see much evidence of others suffering this same problem yet, and so I don't believe this is being addressed as a bug (yet).

I have enabled Troubleshooting mode to check with add-ons disabled etc, and that hasn't changed this behaviour for me.

This is quite an issue for me as it's affecting how easily I can use my local client. I've ended up having to return to webmail in order to find emails which I should be able to find in my client.

Anyone else having these problems? - Thanks.

Hi, long-time user and fan of Thunderbird. One of my favorite qualities has always been it's speed, however the latest updates have resulted in a noticeable slowing down of just about every aspect, halting on opening and deleting emails the most. Surely some mistake?
