My IMAP server reports an overflow every third day. How can I set Thunderbird to download all emails to my local computer and automatically delete downloaded emails from the IMAP server?

emoji are now showing up in incoming emails . Emoji are replacing a few characters in the body of the email. previously could not compose an email without emoji inserted in place of a few letters, such as capitalized A. played with settings, fonts to no avail. magically the next day problem went away. the next day, now incoming emails are peppered with emoji: Mozilla looks like the M was replaced by emoji

I'm running firefox 124.0.2 on Linux Mint and am having the most bizarre issue. I've got a logitech M560 mouse, and when I press the mouse button for Forward it functions normally. However when I press the mouse button for Back, Firefox ignores it.

I've already confirmed that the OS is registering the button click as 'Back' using Input-Remapper, and the extra mouse buttons are enabled in the Firefox configuration. I've also used the mouse on another PC with no issues so this one is kind of boggling the mind.

I have a dark themed website with light colored lable that is positioned inside the input field and having the autofill to autocolor the input's background yellow makes things look horrendous. I've tried the following CSS:

``` input:autofill, input:-moz-autofill, input:-webkit-autofill {

   filter: none !important;
   background: rgba(0, 98, 155, 0.35) !important;

} ```

On top of that, I tried changing that for myself in about:config changing ui.-moz-autofill-background to false, but after clearing browser cache and doing a hard-refresh, the yellow autofill background color persists.

That would be a personal fix, but I would rather firefox not murder the theme of my site for others and let me have control of what color the autofill background color should be (if I even want there to be a difference in colors). Am I missing something? I don't simply want to turn that off for myself (although I still want to, but it didn't work). I want to change it for everyone visiting my site. (Like I'm able to change the colors of link or border colors or background colors of other elements).

If there's an easy answer to my problem I haven't been able to find it on the Thunderbird support site. Or anywhere else! All I want to do is move my email accounts in the folder pane up and down. Apparently there is an app to do this but it is not compatible with the newer TB version that I have. A second issue that has me befuddled is how to get rid of the "Gmail" folder, which is a primary folder under my account names and which houses several subfolders. Only one of my 6 accounts has this problem! The other 5 accounts have several folders directly under the account name and no subfolders. "Subscribe" does not help. All of the 6 accounts have the same subscribe selections; 3 are IMAP and 3 are POP. Yet one of them refuses to retire the "Gmail" folder.

Three things that I feel should be changed in Thunderbird

1. A toggle switch to highlight that we chave received email in a thread. I can spend hours looking for why the folder shows I got an email, yet none of the messages are highlighted.

2. When I want something to be opened in a new tab, I want to switch to the new tab. This again can be a toggle.

3. More of the configure editor settings should be brought out to regular settings with better descriptions. Coders are not the best choice for labeling something.

None of this is an emergency, but there will be a point in the level of frustration that can cause folks to jump ship. As an example when I got a 4k screen, trying to get everything in Thunderbird to fit properly took hours and I am still not happy with the out come. I am hearing that there are a lot of folks, not all, that are frustrated with Thundebird.

When I open a new window that needs a password, the RoboForm Icon does not show for me to click on and get the password to be filled in. This just happened recently as it has been working fine.

I used to like Thunderbird, a lot. I've used it for more than 13 years. I have also contributed money - because I believe in paying for a good product. I think Thunderbird is quickly moving away from being a 'good product'.

I have two big complaints now with Thunderbird.

1. Apparently the 'developers' just can't stop themselves from adding more and more "stuff" (called "features"). All I want is a decent email client. The tabs to open PDF attachments was a nice feature, when it was added. However, the vast majority of so-called "features" that have been added over the past few years are useless to me. And it shows in how big the Thunderbird application has become and how long it now takes to load and display.

2. The 'threaded' crap is driving me nuts. It seems like every time Thunderbird updates it puts some/most/all of the folders back to 'sort by threaded' and displaying the thread column and star column. I hate 'threaded'. If you are updating the application why can't you import my 'custom' settings or at least just leave them alone. No, you reset all kinds of stuff with nearly every "update".

I guess I have two options: 1. I will quit updating Thunderbird (disable auto-update, if that's possible). 2. Find a new email client that is simpler, smaller, loads quicker, and is less cluttered with "features".

Thank you for taking a decent product and 'improving' the hell out of it - to the point where I am starting to hate it.

Thunderbird's most annoying problem - by default all email strings are sorted by threading which causes many problems as all the users who have contributed to this issue in many blog threads have said. I am using the latest now - ver 115.9.0 (windows) and i know how to manually change a folder's contents to sort by unthreaded but i have literally hundreds of folders in my thunderbird and to change each on the fly would take hours. Is there NO way to change the default for existing folders to sort by unthreaded? It seems like this would be a simple setting to have included in thunderbird. In the last posting i read still no one has a solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1425531?page=2 Can anyone offer any assistance? thank you all

As described in this question I am unable to install addons in Thunderbird: when attempting to install an addon, either via the in-app browser or via a file, a pop-up window appears for which "Add" and "Cancel" buttons do nothing (there is no way to move or remove the window without killing the process).

Version: thunderbird 115.4.1-1 on 6.5.9-arch2-1

If you add from & correspondent you get the same results. Shouldn't from show the second line with the actual email address? If not can this be done another way? Using version Version 115.9.0 if that makes a difference

Over the last week, a little purple icon appears in upper left corner of my firefox browser, it looks like a person viewing a screen. It sits right on top of the red-yellow-green circles that allow me to minimize, enlarge, or close the browser, and renders Firefox unusable. How do I get rid of it?

I don't want thunderbird to store email data on my pc. Only store and access from email server. Is this possible?

Currently I'm using my AT&T email account with Web based Yahoo! Mail. I like accessing my email Web based, because it does not store my email data on my pc and remains on AT&T's servers. Can Thurderbird be installed and used on my pc, without storing file data locally? Thanks.
