Since Comcast will no longer allow me to "send" from my AOL Address I need to change my "from:" address on every e-mail I send. I thought I could make my Comcast outgoing server the default one and that would take care of it - it didn't. Then I thought I could just delete my AOL outgoing server and Thunderbird would then have to use my Comast Outgoing Server - it doesn't. I can continue to try and remember to change the FROM with the drop down list but it would sure be nice if I could save this aging brain of mine and make the software default for me.

Hello Thundrbird Flock,

I upgraded to latest Thunderbird 60.5.0 on Windows 7.

Works great, but the message filters don't run automatically.

If I go and run them manually, they do work fine, but they don't run automatically like the used to.

Haven't made any other changes at all -- just did the update.

They are still checked off...haven't changed them in any way.

A similar thread says that they sometimes don't work if you play sounds. None of mine play sounds.

Only Add-ons I use are Lighting and Send Later and MS Office 2003 Theme. I had NO Glass, but that was automatically disabled with this update as being not compatible.

What might have changed that the don't run now?

Thank you for your consideration,

Mark

Hi,

I've been a Thunderbird user since the days of Eudora ;-) and have a configuration question.

When you forward or reply to a message, Thunderbird currently does this: <sender> wrote on <date> <time>:

  forwarded message text

Is there a way to change the preamble line, or is it hard-coded?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

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.
