I have uploaded an image of my view of the email client. As you can see, there are two columns under the red arrows. I have made them appear through a menu accessible by three dots. Somehow, I have lost that menu but touching the wrong choice and I would like to be able to access it again so that I can remove the two colums indicating the number of emails and their weight. Can you help me to retrieve that menu?

When using Thunderbird 140 I am able to setup the background color of the message pane for individual messages. However when the messages are threaded, the message pane shows a preview of all of the threaded messages together in the message pane with a different background color than individual messages.

My previous computer crashed and got a new one (Win 11 of course - new for me).

I downloaded Thunderbird. With the help of an Earthlink (my email) tech, all but one of my emails (gmail) were entered. Then I downloaded and began reading them.

The first thing I noticed was the Next and Previous buttons are missing (or placed where I don't see them).

The second thing I noticed is that when I click on one email to read, all the emails in the respective Inbox also open. This is very annoying.

I also hope someone can tell me the info I need to add a gmail account. (I rarely use it, but there two websites which require a gmail email to log on.)

And I had made a T-bird "backup" but haven't used it yet. I'd like to IF I can locate it.

P.S. Is it possible to shut off the AI "help" while writing this. I find it annoying, slows me down.

Want to clear the 'RIGHT CLICK MOVE EMAIL TO FOLDER LIST ' THAT ACCUMULATES OVER TIME . lIST GETS TOO LONG. Searched thoroughly for an answer but found none.

 Please respond if you know how to clear this list. 

Merry Xmas Mike

It has been several months since Thunderbird has always resulted in a double space when the ENTER key is pressed while composing an email. I have tried all the suggestions offered on this forum. None has been successful. Windows 11 Pro, with all current updates. The app data files are in my Documents folder. Does anyone have a solution? Am I the only one having this problem?

I have been a Thunderbird fan for many years. This is the first time I feel it is time to look for a new email application program.

Is there any way I can prevent Mozilla from installing/enabling more AI features on my Firefox browser in the future?

I do not want AI running on my machine. I do not want AI integration in my browser. I understand I will still run into AI in the wilds of the internet, but I especially do not want these features enabled ON MY OWN MACHINE in an update without me specifically opting into them. Installing and enabling this without user opt-in communicates clear disrespect to the users.

I did a cursory search here for similar questions and Mozilla staff appear to be stating there will be no AI in Firefox unless the user specifically enables it, and it is as simple as disabling them via settings if "accidentally" enabled. This was not my experience, and it is alarming to see false information provided to users .

I have found other sources indicating the following must be set to false in about:config in order to disable browser-side AI/AI integration: browser.ml.chat.enabled browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge browser.ml.chat.shortcuts browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom browser.ml.chat.sidebar browser.ml.checkForMemory browser.ml.enable browser.ml.linkPreview.shift

Is that all of them, will these disable ALL of the AI in Firefox?

Are there any other settings I need to set to false to ensure no AI is either running on my machine or the browser is not integrating AI functionality from third parties?

Is there any way to ensure Mozilla doesn't force AI features to be enabled without my say-so (again)?

Are there any privacy-minded browsers comparable to Firefox that DO respect their users with regards to forcing AI on them? It may be time to jump ship.

I have set all Notifications on (there seems to be a dozen on/off switches) but new emails do not trigger a marker on the Thunderbird logo or any other form of notification I have to open Thunderbird just to get new messages to download Is there a setting I need to change?

Bonjour à tous, Je cherche comment afficher images distantes par défaut. Jusque là, elles sont cachées et un message s'ajoute : les visualisation des mails ouverts est inutilement compliquée (à mon sens, le principe de sécurité, annoncé à chaque fois à ce sujet, n'est pas adapté.). Merci de m'aider à grive fer le moyen de mettre automatique des "images distantes" par défaut 😊. Bonne journée !

After installing thunderbird, It takes me hours to figure out that my fonts are too small because of one value in Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts > Advanced > Fonts for Other writing systems gives a too small number.

It seems insane and I don't think users can easily get there. Maybe some users want to set different fonts for different languages and the "Fonts for ..." is for them. However, for most users who just want to change their font size, I don't think it's a good experience to going so deep and find an option in the loooong "Fonts for ..." list.

So please give users a simple option where I can just set my font size without such pain.

I know there's a font size option in TB menu but it doesn't work as expected. In my case, the font size shown in TB menu is 16 while the font size of my plain text emails is 12. And 1. email font sizes will change to TB menu size as long as TB menu font size is not 16. For example, when changing TB menu font size 15 -> 16 -> 17, email text just suddenly goes from 15 to as small as 12, and then from 12 to 17. 2. email font size seems changing with the TB menu font size. However, email text font size will go back to what it was when open another email.

I have TB setup to allow customstylesheets with userChrome and userContent.css files generated. I have userChrome setup to my liking. Now I want to modify the userContent.css file so that I can set the background color of almost all elements is #222226 except for email text, hyperlinks, and imbedded images. I have this setup now in userContent.css:

body { background-color: #222226 !important; }

{ color: white !important; /* Changes font color to white for all content */ }

This changes most elements the way I want but it also flips the color of other HTML content, embedded images for signatures and other html content so its inverted to unreadable white content with white text. Is there a way to set it up so that HTML content and images are not inverted?

TB version 140 Debian Edition on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3

Please help with changing font for outgoing emails. I have clicked on Thunderbird settings, general, then fonts - Ariel and 15 is selected but another serif type font is produced. Very puzzled!

Hi,

I cannot see any formatting bar in my "new message" window. I cannot change my text format, I tried to change a lot of settings but nothing seem to work.

I also cannot customize my signature - the html just shows weird and not as expected

Thunderbird refuses colored text on new Lenovo 17" Idealpad and adds asterisks not written by the author. Example message test: bbbbbbbbbbbbsssssssss ggggggggggggg***234*5678,56 *<==============* The written numbers and the arrow were colored red. No asterisks were written in the message sent. When writing, colors appeared correctly in messages with no asterisks on screen. However, no colors appear and asterisks are added in recorded messages sent and received on the PC. The Lenovo PC works OK in general, so it must be a Thunderbird configuration/function problem on my PC as the message is correctly received with colors without asterisks on my mobile phone. Can you help me correct this PC anomaly? Many thanks

In V.10, it used to be I had to really swipe all the way left for delete to occur.

Now in V.13 only a small/partial movement deletes.

This is tool easy to mis-trigger. Please go back.

Thanks

Hi, I have recently had a problem with one of our cats walking on my keyboard. Previously the Thunderbird page had two panels, the top one listing emails in date order and the bottom one displaying the message I had highlighted on the top panel. Now I have the top panel which is fine but I can't get the bottom panel. Can you help please? Douglas.

The New Line (Enter) key always double spaces, which is intended for paragraph text. But for tabular text, this makes unnecessary white space. What key combination generates only a SINGLE new line character rather than TWO of them?

Example: Donor: xxxxx Email: xxxxx Phone: xxxxx Billing Address: xxxxx Bank: xxxxx; Account ending in xxxx

This screen defaults to single spacing; why doesn't Thunderbird allow it?
