How to permanently set line spacing to "Single Line Spacing" in emails, any online solutions do not work in Thunderbird version 128.5 64 bit.

I used to able to do this easily and effectively but with the new version of Thunderbird I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Any working solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Gmail draft emails not being automatically deleted after being sent

I have the same problem as asked in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440873#question-reply (I can no longer reply to that thread as it has been archived, so I am asking again now in search of an answer).

To reiterate the problem, draft emails are save correctly into the 'Drafts' folder in both Thunderbird and the Gmail web app, but only Thunderbird will correctly delete the draft once the email has been sent. In the Gmail web app, the draft email remains in the 'Drafts' folder.

Why can't Gmail automatically delete draft emails that have been sent? Is there a solution?

I am using Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I have 2 problems that I would like some help with. I have a dead email account I would like to delete. The company deleted their email server. I can delete my account but when Thunderbird gets shut down for any reason, the email account shows up again. I have even logged in as administrator and deleted the account. The account returned. If I log out of Thunderbird and log back in, the account returns. If I have a power failure, when I log back in, the account has returned. If I log out to do a re-start, the account returns. The second question is similar. I have an account that I can add and it works very well but if Thunderbird is shut down, it disappears. Then I have to put it back in. Putting the account in as "admin" does not help either. Yes, I can put it in as "admin", but it will disappear if Thunderbird is shut down. I have thought about changing all the information in the one account that I cannot delete to the information in the other account that I cannot keep to see if this is a workaround. I am afraid I will miss one little setting and have a mess. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

I have a large amount of emails stored in a mail server (almost 22G), and the service will expire next month. So I want to use Thunder Bird to keep these emails in my local drive for later access. I am new to this software, and have a few questions. 1. Should I use IMAP or POP3 for my purpose? 2. Because it is a huge volume, I guess it may take several days to download all emails. Then, can I turn off Thunder Bird while it is downloading or pause the download process and resume later? What if the downloading process be interrupted due to internet disconnection, power failure or other reasons? Can the software resume where it leaves and ensure the integrity of all emails? Thank you for any help!

Hello, here’s the problem: I had / have 3 GMX mailboxes in Thunderbird on my PC. After I installed Thunderbird Mobile and spent several hours with it, I deleted all the mailboxes to import them again. Apparently, this also deleted all the mailboxes on GMX, as they are no longer visible there. I also can’t create new ones there, as the old ones seem to still be somewhere in the Background. In Thunderbird Mobile, I restored the mailboxes via import, but they are completely empty! Thunderbird Mobile has no connection to GMX. What can I do? I go to bed...

I'm unable to send any email with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but it won't send anything with the new one. The version info it gives is "128.5.1esr (64-bit)" Whenever I try to send an email message, it waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings. Authentication method looks fine, but the password (Settings->SavedPasswords) is empty (?? But I entered the password when I started Thunderbird and asked it to save it).

Hi Team I just changed to a new PC and followed the instructions on how to migrate over my Thunderbird account and whilst everything when well the spell check no loner works. On the previous computer it would show misspellings in red as I typed and then when I pressed send I would get a further check...this no longer happens I no longer get spell check as I type or when I hit send yet I get a blank box (see image attached)

Also I did try to set up a chat account 3 times but each time it did not allow the nickname (see image). Going forward this could be a useful option when encountering new issues.

can you please help me out on both issues as it is really becoming frustrating and I really do not want to go back to Outlook? Regards John Prendergast
