Fresh Install of Thunder Bird. Trying to send a new e-mail but not finding a SEND command there is only a SEND LATER button. Is there something wrong with my set-up that I need to change?

Also how can I change the font size of the tiles in my folders. I've searched the set-up over and over and not seeing an option for a font change. There is only a font change for new email.

Thanks Mike

Thunderbird quit downloading just my work hotmail account in July 2024, the others are fine, settings are the same. I had the same problem with gmail during the pandemic and had to start it up from scratch, losing all my old emails. I do not have that luxury with my work account. Please help. Is it a size issue?

Missing Option to Download Images and Remote Content

Hello,

First, apologies if this has already been asked; there doesn't appear to be a way to sort previous forum postings by date, and all similar questions seem to be dated 2022.

Here's my problem:

As of TB's most recent update, all of my messages are coming in as plaintext. They used to come in as HTML with external content (images, pixels, etc.) blocked, and a little warning bar gave me the option to download content if I trusted the sender. That little bar is gone, and now I can't figure out how to see images in the marketing emails that I actually want to see. I don't want to enable remote content for ALL senders, and setting up exceptions hasn't fixed the problem.

Can someone please tell me how to get this fixed?

Thank you!

In anticipation of exporting a subfolder to pdf I moved and renamed it, then ended up moving it back. Not sure what happened in that process but... My 98 emails are in the subfolder when I view it in TB, but when I view it in explorer there is a .msf file but no actual file with that name. Looking through, it appears some other subfolders are missing too (in some cases the file and the .msf) but all the emails are there when I view through Thunderbird. I tried repairing the folder but that didn't help, and it won't seem to compact. I deleted the foldertree.json and that didn't help.

I am looking in Users/NAME/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/XXXXX/ImapMail/imap.ionos.com/FOLDER/SUBFOLDER/SUBFOLDER (this is the path with files that have today's date).

What's my next step? Thanks

Hi, my pc (I think the ssd/os) just quit on me, is there a way for me to build a new system (reformat) onto a new drive and either using the old drive (if accessable) or "the cloud" recover all my old tabs from that pc onto the new one? I had a list of tabs saved, but it hasn't been updated in a couple months (yes, I have a lot and can't remember them all).

I'm hopeing it's as simple as putting the old drive as a secondary drive and copying the "appdata" folder or something to the new pc.

System: windows 7 (yeah, I don't want to give it up) on evga mobo with i7-x990 cpu and maxed out ram. Samsung ssd (2.5"). Most all "personal data" is stored and accessed from my nas, just don't know how to do that for the tab hostory.

I noticed that the status bar on firefox shows the same text as the on-page text. It doesn't render the unicode url in full. I tried finding a bug describing this, but couldn't find one.

Apologies if I haven't described this very well. After loading a page on Firefox, loading the next one and any further ones could just be typed over the previous one as many times as you needed. Not any more, if I try typing in a new address nothing happens and I have to cancel and load Firefox again. Never used to be like this, can anyone help please?

Dear Thunderbird team and community,

long term user here, thanks a lot for your awesome software, absolute essential live-saver.

A few days ago, I did the update to 128.1.0esr (64-Bit) from 115 on win11. Very smooth transition, no issues with my 4 accounts, calendars etc. Great experience.

However, since the update, QuickSearch Ctrl-Shift-K filter that did instanteaneous filters on my 25k mailfolders came to griniding halt.

What happend: - Type a search term with filters on 'subject', 'from' 'to'activate freezes the app for many wall-clock seconds (5-10). Switching to another app and switching back gives me a Windows (Thunderbird not Responsive) in the title bar of the main window during that time.

What I expected: - almost instantaneus filter without noticable lag

What I tried: - deactivate, then uninstall expression search addon incompatible with 128 - restart in Troubleshoot mode with all addons disabled - reboot OS (Win11) several times - searched forums and stackoverflow for similar issues using different search term approaches and combinations

Thank you very much for any pointers how i could resolve the issue. Thanks again for your awesome product!

Jakob

One of my three email accounts shows all top level folders at the same level as Inbox. (This account is hosted on Google.)

The other two accounts show all top level folders as subfolders of Inbox, although the servers show them correctly at top level. (Hosts are Inmotionhosting and Dreamhost.)

Is there a way to get these folders correctly shown at the top level?

The Manually Sort Folders add-on no longer sorts subfolders, so can't be used on these two accounts without this fix.

I've got both personal & business. Is there a way to retrieve my old Thunderbird info? [And just so you know, I learned my lesson about not backing up.] And thank you for any help!

Dear Sirs

I have really made a mistake in my settings. Unfortunately I have had difficulties reading my written mails and have tried several things. Changing the layout, using the zoom etc. TB does not save my settings and keeps writing af very small font. The font has always seem very small.

To search any help I have found the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klIOX4dsXU4&ab_channel=ChrisWaite

I really think I was very carefully about the change and I really do not know what has happend. I have somehow changed the default value in: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from -1.0 to what was expected to be 1.20. But now it covers all my screen and I have no possibilities to find settings menu or even to move around to more menus.

I really appreciate if you can somehow help me to edit to the default value again. I can't find any config files in my PC under APP.data.

I really will feel very sad - if I cannot go back to my lovely mail clients settings and using all my setup in the future.

Please take a look in attached picture.

Hope you can Help - I will really feel very thankfull for your helping support.

Best Regards Alex

Hello I have been a Thunderbird user for decades now.

On one of my computer I have a 'misspelled' POP or IMAP server address error that pops up every time and it has become kind of annoying - I do not mean the SMTP server - that is easy to fix.

Since I keep a 'huge amount' of forwarders - i.e. aliases - I cannot go and check each one manually!

Is there a file within profile folder I can open with NotePad++ and amend error? Unless I missed something within the GUI and I do not need to amend a file directly. I am not into this part and I am asking you 'nerdy friends' (I am one for other things!).

Thanks for your time - appreciated and no rush.
