1. There is not a relevant "topic" above for this question 2. How can I print a 1 page email on 1 piece of paper? View headers are set to Normal. I get one page with From, To, Reply to, & Subject then body on next page. I used to just select Print and my emails printed normally.

Hi,

I have been using Thunderbird as my preferred email client since around 2004 on Linux, macOS and Windows.

I am current running Thunderbird 150.0.2 64-bit on macOS Tahoe 26.5 ( Intel ).

When I attempt to create a new 'Folder' or 'Sub Folder' on either an iMAP account or, more importantly, my 'Local Folder' the displayed dialogue box is sized incorrectly and I am unable to complete the action.

Specifically I can type into the 'Name' text box and see the 'Create as a subfolder of" drop down dialogue but the two buttons below are barely visible and I cannot select either with my mouse. Nor can I resize the dialogue box itself [ make larger ] to enable to be select either button.

I can use the <TAB> key to cycle thorough the various items and the <RETURN> key to select an option.

I have attached a sample image of the issue.

Thanks.

In viewing a message folder the Subject column alignment differs although it appears out of user control

The spacing of the Subject column label is inconsistent and apparently not under the control of a user. In the graphic with yellow notations, the leading space for Subject is much larger than any of the other column labels shown.

Also, in the graphic with red notations, the leading space for Subject is even larger; I "applied columns to ... Folder ..." yet both folders are not the same as the leading blank space for the Subject column header is different from the "copy from" folder.

I cannot find anywhere that this is controllable by the user. Please advise on both issues: too much space on the Subject column before the word Subject and the inconsistency of the Apply Columns To feature.

Thank you.

How do I change Thunderbird's icon back to the older version? The new version looks a lot like Signal's icon. When I have a taskbar full of icons, I have to look carefully to make sure I'm selecting the correct icon for the app I want to switch to. It's annoying. Thanks

Français: Bonjour, Presque tout mes icônes dans la barre des tâches, programme ouvert, sont bleu. Comment changer directement la couleur de l'onglet de Thunderbird dans la barre des tâches de Windows. Ce serait bien de pouvoir choisir pour retrouver facilement Thunderbird et lire mon courrier. Christian

English Almost all my icons in the taskbar, for open programs, are blue. How can I directly change the color of the Thunderbird tab in the Windows taskbar? It would be great to be able to choose so I can easily find Thunderbird and read my emails.

Hi, I’m having a recurring UI issue in Thunderbird with the toolbar above the message preview pane.

After some time of using Thunderbird, the area between the message list and the message preview becomes visually corrupted. The toolbar where the Reply / Reply All / Forward buttons should appear either disappears completely or turns into a broken/glitched gray bar.

I attached a screenshot showing the problem.

What I already tried:

Restarting Thunderbird Starting in Troubleshoot Mode Disabling all add-ons Resetting UI/customization settings

These actions help only temporarily. After some time, the issue comes back again.

Additional info:

Windows 11 64-bit Latest Thunderbird version The problem seems random, but happens multiple times per day It affects usability because I lose quick access to reply buttons and message actions

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what may cause this? Humanity invented email clients 50 years ago and somehow we’re still fighting disappearing buttons like it’s experimental Soviet software. Beautiful continuity of civilization.

Thanks.

For the life of me I can't understand the options in View>Folders. The folders in my 3 accounts are sorted differently. In all 3 accounts I simply want 4 folders visible: Inbox, Sent, Spam and Trash. I've already tagged them as 'Favorite Folders' Making selections in the - View>Folders is very confusing for me. Why are there 2 Favorite folders in the list??

I open Thunderbird and see the list of received emails as usual and I have a "Viewing Pane" on the right. In the viweing pane I can see a portion of the email. However, there is a line going through the top portion of the viewing pane email and I cannot see what is under the line. I then fully open the email and the line is still there.

I have tried everything I can think of to fix this to no avail. I have even shut down Viewing Pane in settings and even then when I open an email it is still there.

I am trying to get Thunderbird to function in similar manner of Outlook Classic but the simplest of settings such as viewing pane just won't work. Thunderbird is up to date and Cache cleared. I have attached two photos to show what I am seeing.
