Thunderbird Support Forum

A few weeks back I posted a question regarding not being able to add any add-ons. (I wish there was some way of finding my own previous posts!) Anyway it seems that the Linux versions are broken and it can't be done. AH! but it can! As previously mentioned , the thing hangs at the point where the 'Cancel/Add' dialogue box shows up. Someone suggested using the TAB key to cycle round to the dialogue but that didn't work. BUT ... if you click back to your inbox, THEN the TAB key does work. TAB till you get to the 'Add' button, hit ENTER, and voila, you have added an add-on :-)

I was exploring this new 115 of Thunderbird and ended up wiping the message viewer off the screen.

To start with, I have my TBird 115 as it came "out of the box." Three columns, Inbox folder tree on the left, Cards List in the center, and message pane in the right side.

I messed everything up when I widened the Cards list to the right edge of the window, where the <---> arrowhead disappeared and all there is to the right side is the window resize arrow from my Linux system and that awful slim Jim scroll bar.

I recovered my message pane using F8 key; it is below my short list of email in the Cards View. See the attached screenshot.

I would like to return things back to as they were with the three columns as described above. I forgot, too, where I turned on Classic View. There is a checked box in Settings somewhere. Or is it a menu? I need some help, please.

May I suggest a limit somewhere short of the right-side edge of the window and short of the scroll bar to only widen the message pane "so far," such that one can recover from pushing it that far, using the same means to return it with the double arrow.

When I try to create a filter there is no "OK" button, so obviously filter can't be created. I tried the command % sudo rm ~Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/vwybotat.default % session.json Got the response zsh: no such user or named directory: Library

I have recently started to use Thunderbird Mail. It is connected to my gmail account. I noticed that Thunderbird doesn't place into its Trash any mail that I have already trashed in my gmail account, and vice versa. I would like to synchronize trashing.

Hello, does anyone else experiencing in the last month Thunderbird forgetting set up email accounts? It comes every 3-4 days, then I can set up my accounts from scratch. It is annoying. If you have the same problem, do you have any remedies? Thanks.

This question was asked here and the answer worked for some years, but no longer does.

The method was pretty simple, just change browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground from the default FALSE to TRUE.

An update in the last few months (not sure which) broke this. So, what is the new way of doing this?

Hi, I have cancelled automatic updates for add-ons. When I choose check for update TB does nothing despite the fact that there was a new version of Card book, for which I proceeded manually. Any Help???

Hi :)

I don't remember if I had an extension installed but I would like to have my old account layout back. I put the photos for you to understand. Is possible?

Thank you

I have Thunderbird set up on PC and a Laptop. On the PC I have version 115.9 installed and the Laptop (which is a more recent purchase) version 115.10.

On the PC I can easily sort by "date", "correspondent", etc as there are click buttons at the top of each column but these do not appear in version 115.10.

I have looked at all the view menu options and cannot see that anything will help to change this. Was this functionality removed in the upgrade or is there a way to alter the view settings? The screen shot is from the Laptop.

TIA

When i am typing a text in thunderbird and then pressing the return key, the cursor springs always in the next paragrph ( 2 lines under ), but i want it only to go to the next line. When i choose text it always changes by pressing the return key to paragraph. How can i change this ungraceful habit of thunderbird?

As i have few email account within Thunderbird, the list becomes kind long to scroll when to see the new emails. Is there a way maybe or if an addon exists to have each mail box open and to have just the inbox folder under neat and all other to show only if you click a drop down arrow? see image.

Thanks for help.

Using Thunderbird 115.5.0 on a Mac. I started using Thunderbird around 3 weeks ago.

I added several of my accounts. On some accounts, it shows folders that I have deleted months or years ago. They were not visible in Outlook or on the web interface. Now they are visible in Thunderbird.

These folders are shown in italics and greyed out. I cannot delete them in Thunderbird or interact with them in any useful way. They are just annoying. Any way to get them removed? Or at least hidden?

Thanks
