Is there a way to set the default view and sorting for file upload folder?

The default for me is, detailed view and sorted by date.

I wanted to change it to large icon and sort by name, so it's easier to upload images. but I have to change the setting for every individual folder, is there a way to just set it as default?

G'day, I have more than one email accounts. I use gmail for most of my email, but I am now subscribed to ProtonMail for important mail, as well as for secure email. ProtonMail also gives me the ability to send, and receive encrypted email between family, friends and others who can receive and send encrypted email. Then from within gmail, I have multiple accounts for different uses, such as regular email, email from eBay, different devices etc... Looking around the relay add-on, I can't find any settings or mention of multiple accounts. It just looks like it only works with the main account.

Is this possible? Maybe on the pro version? If it's not currently possible, can I request that feature in a future version?

Cheers, Steven.

I have lost my password and even the primary password. Is there any way to recover from this dilemma? When I click on the TB icon, the first thing I see is Enter your Primary Password. I enter my last PW. No success. So I click on Cancel. Up comes a partial TB screen and another request for Primary PW. Click cancel again and there is TB with all my emails. It is trying to connect to the host server: sending login information. It eventually times out and asks for the Primary PW again.

I can get my email by connecting to the ISP (Frontier.com), but I really miss my TB. I think I have tried everything but nothing seems to work.

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. We run two separate mailboxes and always sort by date with most recent at the bottom. It seems that whenever we switch from one mailbox to the other, the focus seems to jump to somewhere in the middle of the message library, rather than the 'bottom'/newest message. We scroll to the bottom, and then switch back again to the other mailbox and find our focus again somewhere in the middle...

my electronic health record is freezing using Firefox on 2 different computers in 2 different locations. Internet speed 45 mbps at 1 location and 900 mbps at another. Able to use it on chrome.

Since the big update I cannot read my messages in the message window without scrolling as I read each line. The message window is so small that I can only see about four lines of text at a time. I can't get the messages to open in a new window unless I click on them and choose "open in new window" even after setting them to open in a new window on their own.

The last update fixed the font on everything from being too big in spite of settings so now I can read a little more at a time. It's still very frustrating having to scroll constantly.

When I am on a web site most of the time there is a link used to send an email to their company. How do I configure Thunderbird to be the default email client to write and send my message? Right now Windows Live Mail is the default

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

Since the new update, when I delete a message, the message "window" scrolls and I have to scroll back to where I was. This is very annoying and wastes time. I hope my description makes sense.

I've been using Thunderbird/Eudora for 20+ years. Today, I was forced to download a new version today. In doing so, I lost most of my saved folders as well as my email address list. Just finished reentering 200+ addresses but can't figure out how to print a hard copy so I can crosscheck and save as a hard copy. HELP!!!!!.

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. Somehow 'threading' keeps getting activated randomly. It is not being manually activated since the 'View' setting is not even normally displayed. We have to keep looking for the setting to turn it off as it is a feature that we do not like to use.

I cannot get the password as requested for POP.verizon.net. Although Verizon is involved so is AOL (???). How do I get around this problem? Thank you. Your help will be appreciated.

On my new PC when I enter Thunderbird it doesn't open the highlighted message lower on the screen but will open in a new tab if requested . What am I not doing right ?

Hi,

I can't seem to be able do disable search suggestions, or at least make them appear after my bookmarks and browsing history, i.e. I used to be able to type "gm" and the first option would be my Gmail, not a google search for those letters.

If "provide search suggestions" is on, the box to show them "ahead of browsing history in address bar results" is greyed out and can't be toggled; if it is off, then the sub-option turns on.

This makes the autocompletion feature basically useless.

Is there some other way to change this? I've tried restarting the browser after a settings change, with no luck.

Thanks in advance.
