I would like to see the sender's email address in lieu of a name.

The inbox SELECT COLUMNS TO DISPLAY does not offer an option to DISPLAY THE SENDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS.

Both From and Correspondents display the same names. Perhaps replacing one of those with the SENDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS?

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?

I need to disable this horrible translator that is now showing up on top of every page I visit, It keeps showing up even after choosing a translation or disabling translations for that language. That is probably a bug, but I don't want to wait for a fix, I need to be able to see the pages I visit completely, this thing prevents me from clicking buttons and and is really anoying.

This is the built-in translation feature since I do not use any translation plugins, and started showing up after an upgrade.

Hello,

As I said: fresh install of FF 119, only Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin icons are showing on the taskbar. I tried TyDraniu tip "Click the jigsaw puzzle icon, then right-click on an extension, then select Pin to toolbar" but with the right click there is no such option as "Pin to toolbar".

What's going on?

Just upgraded to "SUPERNOVA" (115.2.2) and the text (Drop downs, Folder Pane, message headers and Inbox) looks like it got hit by a black hole. Sorry folks, I'm getting old but I'd rather not wear reading glasses at the computer. Did not have this problem before the upgrade. I've checked the forum but the fixes do not work (also note the screen layout has changed some with the update). I can read the messages as they are both larger and subject to the zoom function.

While it may seem minor, for those of us who have been using TB for a many years and aging in the process this is a major problem. While the update, what I can see of it looks interesting, at present I am stuck with the horrible prospect of expanding my (forced) use of Outlook from just my work email to all my emails.

Is there a simple fix? And I would suggest this be fixed in an update.

I use Thunderbird 115.1.0. "Show only display name for people in my address book" is not selected in the preferences. The "Full Address column" Add-on does not work with version 115.*

In all folders the names of message senders/recipients are displayed instead of the e-mail addresses. For example, it shows "My Name" in the outbox - not name@example.org, my@name.com etc. In the inbox, it is "Anna Bel" and "Zack Miller" instead of "support@mozilla.org".

I am not interested in the names. When I want to see those, I look into the mail. I need the mail addresses!

How do I get back the addresses? (I think Netscape Mail did have that feature.)

The chosen answer to a similar question, "use Full Address column Add-on", does not work for Thunderbird 115.* and up.

Thanks for improving Thunderbird!

I very much like the new card view! However, I am missing the small green unread-button, that I also use to change the status of the mail in the table view. As I use the unread status to sort mails and keep mails up on the list. To quickly change the read status back is part of my way of organising my work. Of course there is a menu and a context menu but all this requires more moves. Can I customise what I can see and interact with on a card?

This question was already posted and badly answered in 2016. Now things have changed a lot and Firefox DO try to translate everything which is quite annoying to anyone knowing more than a single language. No extensions related. I need to completely disable that. My firefox is up to date: 118.0.1 (64-bit).

Any extensions I install suddenly don't show up in my toolbar or the customization menu anymore, so I also can't drag them there manually.

Deleting the extensions and re-installing them didn't work, neither did deleting the extensions folder itself.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've attached a screenshot of the customization menu and extensions menu below.

How do I PERMANENTLY turn off THREADING in Thunderbird 102.13.0? No matter what I've tried, threading turns back on automatically. I have read ALL previous threading questions and answers but NONE of them stop Thunderbird from instituting threading IMMEDIATELY after I change the view with the top-far right "Select columns to display" to deselect threading.

If I could take a screenshot to show my issue, I would but don't know how.

I have been trying to stop threading for weeks now and now have to give up and ask this question. Threading does NOT work for me and I need help, soon.

Thanks for your patience and help,

After accidentally ‘upgrading’ from Thunderbird v102 to Thunderbird v115, I have a couple of issues that I didn’t have with v102. Here’s the first. (I’m not sure if I’ve chosen the correct topic.)

Under Server Settings I have:

 ‘When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: 
 Trash on Internode’.

(Internode is my mail server.) This is unchanged from Thunderbird 102, but it no longer works as it should. I have a folder called ‘Trash’, but when I delete a message, it does not appear in that folder or any other, so I can’t recover or refer to deleted messages. In case it’s relevant, I’m attaching a screenshot of the ‘unified folders’ part of my folder tree with all folders opened. Some things there look odd to me. Drafts, Templates, Sent have subfolders (Internode, Local folders). Trash has none—is this connected with the problem? Junk is split in an odd way, but it seems to work as it should. Any help will be welcome.
