Hi Everyone! I am missing the delete button on the incoming message that outlook has. I know I can right click delete but I do have to delete a lot of emails . I'd like to add a "delete message" button in the message list the same as Outlook. Is this Possible ?

Thanks for any advice

Mike

I like customizing everything, and when i used Outlook, when i rightclick on a email i could chose immediatly to send that mail forward to someone.

but in Thunderbird, i get :

mark as unread - answer - ( here would send forward be nice ) - archive - marks as not wanted - delete.

is it possible to change archive to , send forward :)

not a biggy, just if someone knows how to do it.. that would be nice :)

Using Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64-bit)

I have just bought a new Windows 11 laptop to replace older model. Using the old laptop, email messages are displayed in a single line format, which you click to open the message.

Using the new laptop, messages are displayed in two lines, taking up more space.

I much prefer the less cluttered format, and wondered whether anyone could advise the settings I need to alter.

Grateful for any advice.

Hi

OK so I was having some issues with firefox where I had to reinstall it and this did in fact resolve the issues I was having.

Problem I have is this though when I reinstalled it I first backed up my chrome folder which had all my custom CSS to move the tabs to the bottom of the header area and when I then reinstalled FF I then copied the folder back into my profile folder using the More Info under the help menu to make sure I was in fact in the right profile folder.

Problem is the code isn't moving the tabs and I seem to remember some issues with this the last time we had to fix FF that something had changed with the Chrome folders and such.

So what do I need to do to get my tabs back on the bottom again as I hate them up top!

Version: 128.0.3

Thanks!

My Version of Thunderbird is: 128.1.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 computer. After recent automatic update, the Inbox list font or sizes were changed. I have managed to isolate the style and edited it to my liking. But I do not know how to save it or make it permanent on my computer. My Changes are as follows( Copied from Developer Toolbar):

Screen shot of changes is attached below:

Any idea how to remove "Unified Folders" from Folder Pane list? In my case it is useless to have it visible. Thank you!

P.S. Thunderbird 128.0esr Ubuntu 24.04

I have set the retention policy on my Thunderbird account for 30 days both in the setting for the inbox and the All Mail inbox and I have used the same setting for my account however it only works on the inbox and I have 1745 message in the All Mail folder which intermittently deletes the older messages and then restores them.

Am I doing something wrong?

I want to add a 'MOVE' button to the message display toolbar in addition to 'REPLY', 'JUNK' 'DELETE' etc. I right click on an empty area and nothing, I click on the MORE drop down and there is no option to add MOVE, I click on the "CUSTOMIZE" option in the drop down and it does not give me the option to add actions.

I go to VIEW on the menu bar > TOOLBARS > CUSTOMIZE and it gives options to add MOVE, I click on it and it outlines it in blue, but the SAVE button is greyed out.

Is there a way add a 'MOVE' button to the message display toolbar?

Thanks,

Mike Ross

Happy to see thunderbird is doing better and better recent years. I think it is now the time to add an option to allow it automatically startup in the background on system startup, which has been asked for several years. That is a really useful option, why not just implement it?

I think there are 2 ways: 1. Just automatically startup in the background on system startup and receive messages 2. Register a service in the background to receive e-mails and pop up notifications, and in this case, we don't need to add this option

The first solution may be easier to implement, but the second seems better? Anyway, thunderbird should have one of them

BTW, add an option to minimalize when click on 'close' button. I know there's an extension for this, so why not just integrate it :-)

Thanks!

I'm relatively new to TB. In Windows Live Mail, I could write a message and hit send, which then put it in the outbox. Then, but only then, I could either manually send the message (send and receive) or have the program do so automatically every x minutes. In TB, when I hit send, it simply sends the message. Is there a way to store messages in the outbox until I'm ready for them to be sent? Do I need to go offline and then back online to do that? If so, I assume that means that when I'm offline, I can't receive any messages. If there are messages in the outbox and I go online, do they get sent when I hit "get messages?"

I accidentally disabled the keyboard shortcut for media browsing. For example, I was able to fast forward by 10 seconds by tapping the right arrow on my keyboard, but this has now been disabled. I cannot figure out how to get back to settings to re-enable this feature (checked online, in Mozilla support pages and on Mozilla community)

I think I tapped Ctrl + left arrow to bring up the settings box when I accidentally disabled the keyboard shortcut. Any help would be appreciated

Hello friends,

As the title of the subject entails, I am trying to disable Firefox's new translation tool, becasue I'm using a 3rd party extension.

I tried to follow the solution on the following support thread ( [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1434741#question-reply] ), but it didn't work for me, and I'm still seeing the new translate button.

Is there another way to fix this?

I'm using Firefox 129.0.1 (64bit) for MacOS.

This is a new Dell Precision 3260 with Windows 11 and a 1st time install of Thunderbird 128.1.1esr (64-bit)

By default Write, Reply, Forward are missing which may or may not be correct.

However the "View"->"Toolbars" ->"Customize" page shows all the buttons available but when any one is selected it cannot be dragged or saved, it's as if the customize option has been disabled.

Also the blue Save icon is always greyed-out.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you

Using Thunderbird 128.0.1esr

Been a few years since I've used Thunderbird for email but am fed up with MS Outlook. Even with Layout set to "Classic View" and Density set to "Compact" my Inbox Message List shows the SUBJECT of the emails and the "first line" within the message. How can I configure my Thunderbird to ONLY show 1 line of information, JUST the subject, etc.

I could find no such option in...options.

I am running thunderbird version 128.1.0 esr 64 bit. Right now thunderbird opens the email links to google chrome. How do I change thunderbird to open to Microsoft Edge browser?

How can I change the subject prefix (Re:, Fwd:, etc.) ? I would prefer "RE:" to "Re:" for my outgoing mails. "mailnews.localizedRe" handles recognition of incoming subject prefixes, but I found no pref for my outgoing mails. Thank you!

Hi, I have several profiles in my TB115.* and I have a problem.

For one profile, when a message is tagged, the background AND the text are coloured. For all other profiles ONLY the text is coloured.

All profiles have the same addons and the same userChrome.css. All of them have been migrated to 115.° together

What setting in prefs.js could be the culprit and being the reason of the different behaviour ?

I want to remove that background-color in that single profile but without having to modify userChrome.css as the profiles would then have different userChrome.css. I want to keep them identical
