Thunderbird Support Forum

I just copied a 'draft' that is single spaced, to a second T-Bird s/w program on another PC. But now now when I try to correct something in the 'draft', the new T-Bird adds m/t lines between the data lines. It's in the 'Double Space' mode! ! ! !

How do I get T-Bird back into the 'single space' mode? ? ?

My employer uses Mozilla Thunderbird for all of its internal emailing purposes. I was sending an email to a group of people and mistakenly sent it to the wrong group. Is it possible for me to cancel, delete or recall that email before they open it? All the recipients are on the same server as myself.

I have tried to change font-size, font-color and font family as default for the messages that i am sending in the preferences but it does not work.

So i tried creating two files 1 ) ~/.thunderbird/r4f28oqg.default-default/chrome/userContent.css

/* Body */ body { font-size: 12pt !important; color: #006FC9 !important; font-family:Arial, sans-serif !important; }

2) ~/.thunderbird/r4f28oqg.default-default/chrome/userChrome.css

/* Body */ body { font-size: 12pt !important; color: #006FC9 !important; font-family:Arial, sans-serif !important; }

I am not sure how it works, i just want my my fonts to be with these default settings when i type and they should be received with the same size, color at the receiving end.

I would like to set the default font, default font size, and paragraph spacing. The current options are cute but not what I want. Similar questions have been asked before, and answers were provided eg to go to plain text. No, don't want that all of the time either.

I want to set the default for the font name, font size (as a number, not "big" or "medium" or "little", paragraph spacing so there is zero spacing before and after a paragraph, and single-line spacing - and to be able to set these either as an overall default or for the email being written. (Like microsoft Word font and paragraph options.)

If I write my email using the options I want using Word, then copy and paste into Thunderbird, all the careful formatting disappears!

Am I asking too much?

I am trying to create an HTML signature block. I need to add an image to my signature. In the Help for adding signatures, it says to use the menu item 'Insert > Image'. I cannot find any such menu item.

The version of my Thunderbird is 91.9.1

Please indicate where I can find this function.

Thank you

Hello. I love thunderbird, but I hate how it handles spam! Is there a way or add-on to easily add an email address to a safe sender list so that it never gets to spam folder again?

I didn't create my email accounts in the order I want them to appear, so I need to re-arrange them. Also, I'll be adding many more folders within each account (where message rules will organize the messages) and I'll want them in a particular order.

So far, I don't see any way to change the order of those folders or accounts. I tried searching in Support, but only found an outdated closed answer. How can I do that?

[sort folders addon] does not work for TB > v91

Thanks!

OK, send later disfunction was archieved as no longer an issue. That is incorrect. Send later does not work since TB 78. When I need to send later I have to use gmail and cc myself.

What's the problem? There have been many versions of TB since 78 with new add-ons/changes - why not fix send later???

I've just installed Thunderbird for the first time, so forgive me if there's an obvious solution to this, but if there is I can't find it. I set the theme to dark mode, and My Inbox, like every other Thunderbird window, is in dark mode, but when I open an email the window itself is dark mode, but the email is not. When I open the email in Gmail it displays in dark mode, so I don't see why opening it in Thunderbird it isn't, when all the rest of the Thunderbird client is dark mode. Sudden jump to white background with black text is blinding! How do I make emails show in dark mode as well?

Thanks

I can't use version 10 until I can turn off threading. My correspondents are forever using the same reply for a variety of subjects without changing the title. I've hollered at them but they don't change. I can't use threading!!

In any folder, I can untick Thread from the column chooser, but I'm using Thunderbird for 11 different accounts each with between 4 & 8 folders. So is there a way to turn off threading globally?

Hello, I managed to increase the font size shown in the Inbox and menus using your online support, thank you. Unfortunately, increasing the font size using "pixels" in the config editor, it also increases the spacing between the messages in the Inbox. This is unfortunate because I now see less messages unnecessarily. Is there a way to increase the font without increasing the spacing? Many thanks in advance.

When I delete a message, it does not go into my Trash Folder. My TRASH and JUNK folders are always empty. Also, on 2 of my other email accounts with Thunderbird, my JUNK tab is missing.
