Hi,

I would like a very obtrusive notification for new e-mails - something that's impossible to miss - like an always-on-top dialog in the middle of the screen. Is there an extension that provides such a thing?

Barring that, is there a way to set the alert notification to more than 3600 seconds?

Thank you,

  Bob

I am trying to permanently add the Size column to the search messages pop-up window when I try to search my emails.

In older Thunderbird versions, you had the capability to add the 'Size' column to the 'Search Messages' window when search emails. That is proving difficult to do in v52.7.

Can I sync TB with my ISP's webmail,which I am told is a form of MS Exchange, some way? My ISP said it would only work with mobile devices.I want to sync my TB desktop client. Would Exquilla be up to the task? Thanks

The title says it all ! I want to be able, for example, to show a 'half' correctly - not as 1/2. You get to this via 'Insert' in libre office but 'Insert' is greyed out in T'bird. Can insert be brought to life ? Thank you - and by the way I love T'bird.

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.

Hey Guys!

I would like to open an image file automatically every time I've got a new mail. (The same picture every time.) I'm on Linux Mint.

Thank you for the help!

There are three mailboxes in my Thunderbird: call them A, B, and C. A is at the top, and when I open Thunderbird I want it to open there, even if I was reading mail in box B or C when I last closed Thunderbird. I know that in the past I could choose this option, but it seems to have disappeared. Many thanks.

I was a happy camper until V115 stuck its ugly nose into my interface.

Fonts on the interface are absolutely terrible and almost unreadable and cause rather severe eye strain.

I have tried going to Settings->Language & Appearance->Fonts & Colors->Advance and they will not change.

What am I missing.

I noticed that New Times Roman wasn't available as a font. What gives?

Hello, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and have had no success finding an answer online that works for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

what are they doing to TB? v60.3.1

the thing that made it great was the addons.

now most of the addons don't work in v60.3.1

brilliant - who's bright idea was that?

why didn't they look at the most popular addons and include them in the code, configurable in the options.

why wasn't minimize to the system tray the default? or at least an option?

who wants a big icon sitting in the task bar at the bottom of the screen?

why doesn't it start minimized in the system try?

addons provided all this but now they don't work!!!!

i can't find a version of the calendar for v60.

also the new programing team break firefox in nearly every release.

i spend more time trying to sort out the mess every time they update things.

now i have to waste time trying to sort out TB60

time to look for alternatives to both i think. :-(

i have been using Thunderbird for a very very long time but this release takes the biscuit!!!! so very annoyed they are breaking it all the time.

will have to see if i can go back to whatever version was before, but that may mess things up so much it may not be worth the hassle. may lose all my contacts and emails!!!!!

may be simpler to switch to another email client.

also the write wind sometimes comes up in a narrow window, or sometimes things just dont work and i have to restart TB.

i want the exit X to minimize not exit, yet another addon that no longer works!!!!!!

what a mess

When I go to open Thunderbird, I get a window telling me that there is an incompatible add on, it gives me the choice to ignore or search for an up to date version of the add on. When I click on either of these the window closes for a minute then reopens with the same message in a vicious circle. Thunderbird itself won't open and can only be shut down by force quit.

I have removed all that I can find to do with Thunderbird (previous versions etc) and reinstalled thunderbird from a fresh download to no avil. I'm using OS X Yosemite and Thunderbird 52.7.0

After the latest release of THunderbird, the default view is showing emails in a thread. I have tried all the recommended solutions I can find and none of them work. How do I unthread?

I have emails that ask for certian items to be addressed such as "please fix leak in bath sink" and then the next line will have another request and on and on. I would like to answer each question at the end of each line with a response (preferably in a different color font to stand out) such as "yes - will fix" or "that can't be done" or "you will have to fix that yourself". Then I want to send that reply back to the original sender.

I get constant requests for me to update thunderbird. I don't want to update thunderbird. I worked to hard to retrieve the old thunderbird. The new version added features I didn't want and took away features I wanted. Please stop asking!

When trying to add items to Toolbar via 'Customise' i.e. add print symbol to header- just shows no entry sign wherever I try to drag it to - I also can't reorder the items by 'click and drag'. These problems occurred recently, presumably an update was added automatically and reset my settings.

TBIRD displays my search results in a new tab. This removes the context of my search from the historical flow of emails It also clutters the window with unneeded information. Remembering that computers are to assist us, not complicate our lives, I need TBIRD to highlight results in the INBOX tab. I can then quickly scroll or jump to each to find the match I need. Once found, I can then sort based on Address, Subject etc, to bring together just the emails I need. Additionally, I am able to find a particular email with all the date related emails around it. I am endeavoring to be empathetic that some of y'all want a separate tab for the results. However, I wish to politely note that my way yields more tools. Can we live on the same globe with what we both need?

Hi again -

OK, so I want to change (edit) the search engine lineup in Thunderbird. Google is not present and I don't want some of the others.

How can I accomplish this?

TIA.
