Planning to both create a new email, and switch to Thunderbird. One thing I don't want to set up my email with, is with google services, so I was curious if I could get an email almost like 'example@thunderbird.com' Is this possible?

I've used Unified Folders for a couple years. Just added a new account doing some migration and testing. I don't want this mixed in with other accounts but Thunderbird is putting in the Unified Folders. Seems easy enough, find unified folder list and remove it. I can't find this anywhere.

Help and community posts searched, I see lots of pull up properties suggestions and click "choose" which everyone votes down cause this doesn't exit. Is this here somewhere and I just can't find it ? or is this post 115 problem ?

This is pretty much means I can't use thunderbird for any account unless I want to mix it in with my key email accounts. This is kind of unacceptable. I can't imagine handling email without Thunderbird. any help greatly appreciated.

Hello, Every time I open Firefox there is the standard "Sign In" button in the top right corner and then also a second "Sign In" window that pops up to the right of the search bar partially covering the search bar. This is the window that I would like to disable or stop from opening. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide on the subject.

Thanks!  :)

Windows 11

Having waited until some of the most valuable Thunderbird addons were updated for 115, I have now updated to the latest version of Tbird.

I had previously set up userchrome.css to show gridlines between columns and under each message in the Message pane, thus avoiding having a lot of messages just sitting in a white "unanchored" space. Of course, the old css doesn't work in 115.

Has anyone worked out how to get back the gridlines here, either in css or some other method?

I'm looking to move over from Apple Mail as it's choking on the amount of email I have.

So far, it's pretty great, but Apple Mail offers a smart folder strategy that I've found really useful.

I have 4 smart folders that span all the accounts I use. They mail that has come in:

  • Today
  • Yesterday
  • This Week
  • Last Week

Apple Mail has built-in terms for these, and the week views always start on Monday, so it's not just counting days.

Is there any way to get Thunderbird to do this?

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

I'm only looking to use the VPN add-on for a particular movie streaming website where even the website itself advises that you use a VPN connection for security and safety.

I would have the VPN add-on disabled for everything else so I don't need a VPN add-on with lots of bells and whistles, I just want a free VPN add-on that will keep me relatively protected when I use the particular streaming movie website.

Can anybody provide any recommendations or opinions?

I'd rather not sign up to a free trial for a VPN service because obviously the free trial has a cut off date before you actually have to purchase the VPN service and as specified I'm not interested in buying a VPN service.

why is literally every setting on this horse [redacted] browser over the top complicated? trying to watch a show but I can't because I dont know how to disable ad block for one site, what was wrong with the pause button? why do I need a super secure password just to come on here and get help? why cant I use mozillasucks as a password? are y'all trying to make chrome look user friendly? why have my saved log ins moved to pop up tab where I have to copy and paste them? what was wrong with the drop down menu when you click the box to type your sign in info? as someone who genuinely doesn't care for or understand the IT side of things you make using this browser a nightmare.

Thunderbird decided to update itself to 115.3.3 (64-bit) today. Not pleased.

The main screen is basically divided in to three areas (boxes). On the left I have my different email accounts, lower down I have my folders for saved messages (1).

Top right is showing message headers (Subject, From, Recipient, Date etc.) (2).

Under the above box is more details of message header, then under that is the message 'body'.

I can easily change the vertical divider bar between the left box (1) and the two stacked boxes on the right (2), Good :)

However the horizontal divider between the top right box and the bottom right box has limited movement, so I'm unable to enlarge the message 'body' section (3) to be able to read more than a line or two. Also it would help if the top of section 3 where the From, To, Subject and Date are repeated from box 2 were removed (as I said, they're repeats of box 2) leaving more space for the message body contents.

I've found some settings for font size which helped a little, but how do I improve on what you can see in my image please?

I suspect I could change the screen resolution, but with my poor eye sight, how do I read the text in other programs?

Thanks in advance

I've read some articles about this but I can't find what they're talking about. What is the message header? I'm not sure when this started but I don't like it, it's confusing about what message I'm reading or discussing. I only want to see one message at a time and I can't seem to change the setting.

stop letting thunderbird open the email when it moves to the spam folder. i would think you would know this, but when an email is opened, sometimes it sends a notification to the sender that it was opened. for regular emails this isn't a problem it's a feature, but with spam it just verified the email address is valid and works. thank you for making my life more difficult, but i guess you get what you pay for.

...Desktop site option setting does not stick! After switching tabs for 5 mins, it changes back to mobile site view & I HAVE TO X out of tab, reopen it, & check desktop site again! You can't just reset the desktop site option on & off either, doesn't work. You MUST X out the tab & start all over. ...It's a real pia! In older versions it always worked, always defaulted even days later! However, NOT in the last few versions, why can't it still currently work now? It should! ...And god for bid you find any real support! And probably won't get it here either. ...."IS" there ANY real, live support around here? A developer email? Anything??? I'd love this issue to be fixed one day, SOON! ...Android +12, Samsung A03 Thank You
