I am new to Thunderbird. I have been using Eudora for so long and since it does'nt display chinese characters I would like to switch to Thunderbird. Eudora allows me to edit the incoming messages and print after that. I sometimes alter the message content, like delete portion of it or change the font before I print but this option is not available in Thunderbird. I use the latest version of Thunderbird which is version 45. I have tried browsing and installed few add-ons to allow me to do this job. But unfortunately I am not able to solve the issue. It would be great of any one of you could help me.

Thank you

Thunderbird 45 on Mac. I think the newest TB iteration lets the new email notification hang too long on the screen. Can't find a place to adjust the duration. Anyone know how it might be done? Thanks.

I've just reinstalled the latest version of Thunderbird and managed to enable the Titlebar. Unfortunately it remains resolutely white and will not display the active or inactive title bar colours I have set for all my other applications.

Is there any way to make thunderbird accept the user-defined colours?

If I give group name say FRIENDS to all contacts under this group, then writing FRIENDS against To: should not show their individual addreses. This works against BCc:, but it should also work against To:

In Eudora, I only wrote To: FRIENDS No body knew who else recvd the message

It worked great in Eudora. I tried TB, but by habit wrote group name against To: and spiled the beans. I don't want others to know who else receivesd the message, I know it works in BCc

Thanx

I receive a lot of emails and a fair amount of them simply require a reply. The original email is no longer needed. From looking at the support site and web searches this does not appear to be a current function.

Hello,

Whenever I hit reply the compose window opens and when I close the window (i.e., with or without typing text), I receive the prompt: “Message has not been sent. Do you want to save the message in the Drafts folder?”

The prompt allows me to click “yes” and very quickly save email that require a response to my drafts folder.

However, I stopped receiving the prompt after upgrading to Thunderbird 45.8.0 or 52.1.1 and I cannot identify how to turn in back on, or if the feature is available in the new versions.

If I add text or a space to the text field I do receive the prompt, but this is far less efficient when sorting through hundreds of email; as compared to a prompt and click method without the need to modify the text field. This feature really save me a lot of time.

Help re-enabling the prompt will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you…

Some pictures will appear, and others show up as a gray box. I have tried everything I can find about it, but nothing seems to work. Frustrating. Thanks for any help.

I updated thunderbird, but it is in English. I need the tools for the Italian language, but the file "it.xpi" is not compatible with the version just downloaded (version 30.0).

I installed the Monterail TB theme and in general it looks ok, but the close buttons (diagonal crosses) on the tabs have gone. Also when hovering above a tab, there is a not really matching light blue overlay (see attached screenshot).

How can this be corrected? I know I can close the tabs with right click, but it's less convenient than the close button.

Also, I know how to reactivate the standard theme, that's not the solution I'm looking for.

Hello! I am representing a couple of diffrent companies and I have 7 inboxes.

The problem is that some of the executives on theese companies contact me via my standard workmail instead of the certain set inbox that we have for them.

So I want to be able to redirect mails from my own inbox that are comming from certain users, so that they end up in a inbox both me and my co-workers can see instead of my own private work mail. (Because these executives won't bother to send mailes too us to a certain inbox and it's getting frustrating)

I tried a redirect addon, but I don't get it too work.

in the image I uploaed you can see the settings. What am I doing wrong? Because even when I have this filter up all the mails from theese three users still end up in my own private inbox instead of the one I have below.

What am I doing wrong?

Best wishes, Daniel.

Hello, I have Win8 with black borders, so I can't read and see inactive tabs at all. (http://i.imgur.com/9feS5wN.png ) I want to change the text color and make it so that the hover effect is displayed at all times. (http://i.imgur.com/wRubuQ3.png )

I found a bunch of different things to do, like "tab:not([selected="true"]" ".tabmail-tab" but none of it works. So which identifier (or whatever it's called) can I use? And how can I achieve the hover effect?

I hope someone can help, thanks in advance :)

Edit: I got the hover effect working, it's in a post on the bottom of the page.

I can't seem to figure out how to make this change in thunderbird: When exchanging emails with a single person, back and forth, each new reply is show in my inbox as an entirely new message. Only when I click on the "new message" do I see the previous conversation. Is there a way to keep replies from taking up a new spot in the inbox? I'm visualizing the way it works on gmail, where the space in the inbox remains the same, but a new message will be alerted by a number in parentheses.

It's driving me nuts.

Thanks!

I have an email account for receipts. Each receipt is identical. I would like to send these receipts to MS access or Excel as data. Is there a programme add-on or any way this can work with out custom code?

Thanks
