I was exploring this new 115 of Thunderbird and ended up wiping the message viewer off the screen.

To start with, I have my TBird 115 as it came "out of the box." Three columns, Inbox folder tree on the left, Cards List in the center, and message pane in the right side.

I messed everything up when I widened the Cards list to the right edge of the window, where the <---> arrowhead disappeared and all there is to the right side is the window resize arrow from my Linux system and that awful slim Jim scroll bar.

I recovered my message pane using F8 key; it is below my short list of email in the Cards View. See the attached screenshot.

I would like to return things back to as they were with the three columns as described above. I forgot, too, where I turned on Classic View. There is a checked box in Settings somewhere. Or is it a menu? I need some help, please.

May I suggest a limit somewhere short of the right-side edge of the window and short of the scroll bar to only widen the message pane "so far," such that one can recover from pushing it that far, using the same means to return it with the double arrow.

There is no mystery to what's happening here. Programming 101: a security exception doesn't get reset every 2 or 3 passes unless some malicious or incompetent programmer set up a countdown loop to reset it. And who would do that kind of thing to users unless some malicious jerk wants to pressure the users into fighting his or her political programming battles with other net entities? I turn 77 this month, and last year had a tumor removed from inside my spinal cord that, while slow-growing and essentially benign, caused horrific pain. People my age and condition save our energy for things that really matter to us. That doesn't include Lilliputian battles over which end of the egg to open. So suck up your egos and resolve this among each other.

So does fire fox just not give a shit whether the app is usable? You've completly stripped.any ability to customize and disable useless "features" that maybe 5% of user want. Are you just trying to go out business? How about returning control to the user. How about reading the app feedback and actually responding to users instead of ignoring us.

I have configured 2 mailboxes in Thunderbird sent some test mails to see if it is working. Now everything works great, but somewhere there is a mail which Thunderbird tries to send out. Unfortunately it looks like the mail is created with mail account 1 and Thunderbird tries to send it with mail account 2. Of course the mail server denies to sent the mail, because the mail address is unknown to him. I checked all outboxes in Thunderbird and at the webinterfaces of the 2 mailboxes and found nothing. I removed all mail boxes and smtp configurations from Thunderbird and uninstalled it. After new installation I still facing the issue. Where can I find the mail Thunderbird is trying to send?

I have two emails dated 11/22/2021 from support@emarkys.com. If I do a global search for them using either “markys” or “emarkys” I get a drop-down window, image attached, that shows an option for support@emarkys.com. If I click on that I get a search tab that opens showing the two emails. If I click on either of them, I just get a blank screen in a new tab. If I click “Show results as list” I get a blank screen in a new tab.

The emails are located in a local folder “__Purchases” If I search for them using a quick search within the folder they are found just fine and open fine.

I have tried global searches for other emails in that folder and some work fine, but others do not, which is to say they fail like the markys search.

I did a right click on the Purchase folder and selected Repair. The folder only has 147 emails so it completed very quickly. But when it is done the folder appears to have no emails in it. If I click to another local folder and then click back to __Purchases all the emails are there.

After the Repair the search problems persist. I rebooted the PC and the problem persisted.

I tried repairing other local folders that also have name beginning with a double underscore and they repair fine and search fine.

NOW this is really odd. I went to my SurfaceGo to try the same search. Periodically I copy C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\y6jsbo3s.default to transfer my main PC’s TBird install on that machine. I did the same search on that machine and it worked ok. No problems. Then just for the heck of it I did a repair on the Purchases folder. Unlike the other machine, it appeared to repair fine and all the emails were there without me having to click on another folder. However, when I did the search for Markys I now had the same problem as on the other machine. It no longer worked.

I always use the current Firefox on two Macintosh browsers running OS 10.14.6.

Recently (in only one of the computers), if I download a file, a pane containing recent downloads opens in the upper left-hand quadrant. This is distinct from the downloads portion of the "Library" area, and gets in the way of my ability to use Firefox efficiently.

I can't seem to find a way to keep this pane from repeatedly opening up as I download things. Can anyone help?
