Up to now I have been using the FireTray add-on, this is no longer working in Thunderbird 60 even if I enable legacy add-ons. I do believe that Thunderbird is making a catastrophic mistake by cutting itself off from a large part of its add-on ecosystem, but I don’t want to debate that here. What I think is really missing is some form of indicator that new e-mail has arrived (not unread but new) that is not transient. If I leave my screen for a while with a minimised TB process running, I will now have to maximise the window and check all accounts (actually, all folders that might receive new mail via filtering) to see if I have missed a new mail notification while I was away. The same applies if I was at the screen but focused on something else. With FireTray I would have seen a change in the tray icon. Now it seems that I have to check the folder pane for a colour change in the names of all candidate accounts or folders. I cannot believe that TB developers want to force us to do constantly inspect the window, so I’d like to know how I am supposed to be able to check if new email has arrived without having to maximise the window. Any suggestions?

Before upgrading to the Beta version, account settings was popping up but only as a small window I couldn't do anything in at the bottom. After the upgrade, the tiny box moved to the top of the screen. How do I make it regular size again? Picture attached. Already restarted Thunderbird and computer a ew times.

Hi

Currently the Outlook Web App on Windows and Web offers some sort of option to facilitate moving emails to specific folders by offering a search bar to look for a folder.

Please see image attached to this topic in order to see what i mean. Note: the image is in spanish

Also, here's a link to that same image: https://imgur.com/a/gfA1TcS

Does Thunderbird have something similar like this?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

my Thunderbird has got the Windows' Title Bar in it and I'd like to remove it. Firefox has an option to enable/disable that Title Bar but I cannot find how to do it in Thunderbird.

Everything I tried so far didn't work; that includes: disabling add-ons, setting "mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar" to false and deleting xulstore.json.

I'm running Windows 10 Home x64 CU and Thunderbird 52.1.0 This is happening only to my user profile but I'd like not to start over with a new one. Any advice?

Thanks

I have 30 messages from my website users. How can I (1) Replay to ALL by using one email. I know reply to all allows me to reply to each person INDIVIDUALLY, and (2) how can I get all email addresses from senders AFTER I FILTER my emails, to get a list of emails that can only from my website.

I get tons of mail from my website, and I need a easier way to manage workflow. opening every single email, and copying the email address for 50 emails would be a lot of work. I want to just "select" all emails, right-click, and grab all email addresses from senders.

And, as stated above...send one email to all by a REPLY button/option.

Hi there I must say having used Thunderbird for probably ten or more years that V115 has been a big pain in the butt to get used to. Why change everything? It was fine before.

OK I can get used to a completely different layout and changed menus even though I don;'t want to but I cannot figure out how to change the background from solid black which I hate. I have spent several days on and off looking for an easy way to do this and can't find it.

So now I go to write an email and the black screen doesn't show anything with black letters of course?? What is the reason for this? So I have to change font over and over to white color.

When I read new emails no problem background is white and font is black like a normal screen. Who had this bright idea?? Please give me a simple solution not involving Css whatever programming such stuff I cannot figure out and don't want to learn. Thanks so much
