Is there a way to set the default view and sorting for file upload folder?

The default for me is, detailed view and sorted by date.

I wanted to change it to large icon and sort by name, so it's easier to upload images. but I have to change the setting for every individual folder, is there a way to just set it as default?

G'day, I have more than one email accounts. I use gmail for most of my email, but I am now subscribed to ProtonMail for important mail, as well as for secure email. ProtonMail also gives me the ability to send, and receive encrypted email between family, friends and others who can receive and send encrypted email. Then from within gmail, I have multiple accounts for different uses, such as regular email, email from eBay, different devices etc... Looking around the relay add-on, I can't find any settings or mention of multiple accounts. It just looks like it only works with the main account.

Is this possible? Maybe on the pro version? If it's not currently possible, can I request that feature in a future version?

Cheers, Steven.

Used Thunderbird for years. No issues. Following upgrade to current version:

1. Usually opens multiple email tabs 2. Most current email is not visible. Drops below bottom line. Must scroll to see it. 3. If you delete the highlighted email, the next email is highlighted so light you can barely see it. 4. Often jumps to othe emails.

Ver 115.4.1

Older version was rock solid. Not sure if these are "features" or problems.

My daily backups of my personal account on a ubuntu-derived system are enormous. The first problem I found was the directory .cache, full of kinds of things that change daily and don't belong in a backup. I eliminated this directory from the backups, halving their size. So far so good. But the incremental backups are still huge, even on days where I've barely used the system at all.

The next biggest questionable directory is .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release and in particular .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage

$ du -sh .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage 2.2G .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/storage

It's pretty clear what program creates this and regularly changes it contents. Examining the files suggests that most or all of them are useless in a data-recovery type situation. But I'm not sure.

What's in this directory? Will the path change when I update to a new version of firefox, using normal ubuntu tools? Is there an rsync pattern I can use to identify all possible directories with this function, so as to teach my backup script to ignore not only the current directory, but the one I'll get when I next update firefox?

Are there other directories created/populated by firefox that shouldn't be in backups, besides .mozilla/firefox/05malccw.default-release/ and .cache/mozilla ?

Note that I'm on an ubuntu derivative, using the packages from the distro repositories; it's more than possible that paths are determines at build time, by the people who configure and build those packages.

Since the new update, when I delete a message, the message "window" scrolls and I have to scroll back to where I was. This is very annoying and wastes time. I hope my description makes sense.

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. We run two separate mailboxes and always sort by date with most recent at the bottom. It seems that whenever we switch from one mailbox to the other, the focus seems to jump to somewhere in the middle of the message library, rather than the 'bottom'/newest message. We scroll to the bottom, and then switch back again to the other mailbox and find our focus again somewhere in the middle...

Add Sender's domain or Sender's address as a default column in the email list, or else as an option.

The add-ons have helped us detect phishing mails many times. Sure, there are other methods, but every bit helps.

Frankly, I don't know understand it had to be an add-on. It should have been included in TB from the very beginning.

For the record, we've used Firefox from before it was Firefox, and Thunderbird from when it was hived off from the browser.

Here we go again.... I have been watching Amazon Prime Videos on my Mac and also my HP computers for a long time. About 3 weeks ago, when I tried to stream a video, it would not start and I got an error message that the video was not available. After trying both computers, many times over the 3 weeks, I have gotten the same results. Amazon says it is the Firefox browser that is the problem and want me to install Chrome, which I DO NOT WANT on my computer. Can you fix the problem or help in any way?

I need to uninstall the recent update to Firefox. I have several "features" that were added which I do not wish to have.

OR -- I need to be able to reinstall a prior version of Firefox.

I do not wish to have to "fix" Firefox, just need to go back a few versions.

Thank you.

Thunderbird recently updated to 115.4.1 (64-bit) for my Windows computer

I HATE IT, I can't find anything. I can't have it get email for a specific email address (I have 9 different email addresses that I manage for me, mom, dad, hubby and kids)

I need to be able to see them like before

I also want to get rid of the the emails being grouped together from 1 specific person I want them all separate

How can I roll this version back, how do I "ungroup" the emails ?

Thanks Tina Keeling

I have been using Thunderbird as my email client with gmail. It has stopped sending and receiving emails. I went File...New...Existing Email Account and filled in the blanks. I know I used the right password. I got "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database. After choosing POP3, I clicked "DONE," and got "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." What should I do?

I am new to Thunderbird and I run a mac mini using macOS Catalina 10.16.7 with Thunderbird v115.4.1. how do I get the date/time to display within the email so I know when it was sent? after installing the app the date/time only seems to be displayed in the listing of email. when looking at the email itself I do not see any date information, even if I open the email in a new window.

My apologies if this has been asked/answered but I did not see this topic when looking at the FAQs

When I am on a web site most of the time there is a link used to send an email to their company. How do I configure Thunderbird to be the default email client to write and send my message? Right now Windows Live Mail is the default
