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'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?

The prompt “Message has not been sent. Do you want to save the message in the Drafts folder?” stopped working after upgrade

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…

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

How to get TB shown in the share windows instead of outlook

If I right-click on any photo or item in the explorer and choose "share", the mailadresses that show up as options in the "share window" is not associated with Thunderbird, but with Outlook. I have tried every solution I have found on the net, incl. making sure TB was chosen as the mail client for any file type, removing any leftovers from outlook and from registration data base, but still only adresses connected with Outlook shows up (and I can see that it is from an old mailing list, that does not include more recent contacts). So why does the share windows not have assess to Thunderbird and its mail adresses?
