I'm running Thunderbird 139.0 on Windows 11. I would like it so TB only saves an email to my sent folder when requested. Currently, it always saves every email to the sent folder. I have "Place a copy" disabled in "Copies & Folders" under Account Settings. I had this same problem running TB 141. I had to revert to 139 due to a different problem I was having (discussion for a different post). Any suggestions what else I need to do?

Does anyone have any tips?

Many of the emails I receive with embedded html do not display right as "original HTML." I have to switch to "simple HTML." Then switch back. This is a real nuisance and time killer. This has been going on for several months now after one of the TBird upgrades. I can find no text display setting that will overcome this. I attached examples of an original and a simple display of the same incoming email.

What gives? This is running on a MACBook with the latest release of Sequoia.

Thanks, Steve

I had a compact card view in 115 that automatically changed itself over to a new expanded card view when a Thunderbird version update in Linux Mint 21.3 changed my Thunderbird version to 128.

Here is a screenshot of how I used to have my inbox and I want to keep it that way now but I don't know how.

Screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/9FziTqh

The first picture is how I had it setup before in 115 and I want to keep that format for 128. The second picture is what TB automatically changed my view to after the update. I didn't manually make any changes.

I have a userchrome.css setup already and it is making some changes but not everything I want anymore. How to I change the userchrome.css to revert the view? I want the colors and size and everything of the lighter color as well as the multi line view.

My userChrome.css is available to view here:

I know userChrome.css isn't officially supported but I want to try anyway.

Thunderbird causes blue screen in Windows 11. It's very obvious, since it doesn't happen if I don't open Thunderbird and problem normally occurs when I click on almost anything. It normally takes 2-4 reboots before running properly. It makes me nervous!
