There are many answers to the question of how to disable message threading. All are from earlier versions than mine, which is 115.7.0 -- as witnessed: Sorry! 0 results found for ‘disable threading in version 115.7.0’ for ‘Thunderbird'

Thunderbird seems to have so many minor changes and alterations in the recent past, that basic usability is affected. Not a good thing.

Once before, a few years ago, Thunderbird got so out of control that I had to go to a different mail client. Are we back to that?

With the moving of Cox emails to Yahoo would it be feasible for Thunderbird to put an instruction list(with screenshots) of how to get all our TB email accounts from Cox to TB? Do we have to delete all our TB email accounts and re-enter them into TB under the new Yahoo or can we just change the server settings on the existing Cox settings? If just changing server settings what are the settings for the new yahoo? All my accounts are IMAP so if instructions could be made, maybe one for IMAP and one for POP for those who use either. Thank you

How do I change the order of my email account folders in Thunderbird 115.6? I have multiple accounts and just added another, and I want to move it from the bottom of the sidebar to a higher location. I used to be able to click and move around accounts in the "account settings" mode. Now, that doesn't work. Is there a solution? The instructions provided in the video created by Thunderbird in 2022 doesn't work! Please help!

v115.7.0 I have been a user and contributor for years. OS is still Win7. I have had a IMAP connection to Comcast for years, now it will not connect. I have made sure I am using the correct password. When I start thunderbird, a secondary window pops up with the error message unable to connect. WEnt thru lots of posts but no results. One interesting said to disable IPV6 security option, but the way they described the fix was to access thry the EDIT menu then Preferences, but my system does not have Preferences under Edit.

I am assisting my friend Lindsay in aged care to enable him to continue to use Thunderbird for email. Currently TB will receive mail but unable to send.

This is complicated in that Lindsay is paying iPrimus.com.au a monthly fee to enable him to use an old email address xx@bluep.com. I can log in to the iPrimus web portal to send and receive xx@bluep.com emails, https://webmail.iprimus.com.au/?_task=mail&_mbox=INBOX.

I downloaded Thunderbird version 115.6.0 (64-bit) on my pc this morning and the Auto Set Up configured mail.bluep.com as the incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTO) servers. Mail is coming in but not sending.

I changed the outgoing server to smtp.iprimus.com.au, default port 587 however messages still cannot be sent and Thunderbird shows that smtp settings must be reconfigured.

I spoke this morning to iPrimus Tech Support who advised the default smtp port should be 25, not 587. However I have found that resetting the smtp port to 25 does not enable emails to send.

Note that I have previously set the smtp port to 587 which enabled sending on non ISP connections. This ability would be required as Lindsay is using whatever Wi-Fi service is available in the facility.

iPrimus Tech Support have suggested I should contact Thunderbird (Mozilla) about this problem.

Can you advise Thunderbird server settings for this situation.

Thanks for you assistance. Regards, Peter M

I set up a new computer, windows 11, and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird. On the old computer the spam filter works normal, on the new computer Thunderbird puts a lot of normal mail in the spam folder. Is there a way to set the spam filter to not flag so many emails. I use gmail for my mail server. My iphone also uses the same gmail account and does not filter these messages

Suddenly, I can't send email from my Thunderbird (115.6.1 (64 Bit)) Windows app. Spectrum is my email provider. I can receive email just fine. However, when I respond to an email and when I send a newly created email or replying to a receive email, I get the following error message - " Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <[edited] @tx.rr.com> sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I've been using Spectrum and Thunderbird for many-many years. This problem is going to cost me big-time if not resolved soon. I love THUNDERBIRD!

Please help!

My email address is - [edited] @tx.rr.com [removed phone# from public]

The export function in the Tools dropdown only allows for export of "accounts, messages, address books and settings to a ZIP file." What happened to the ability to export just the address book separately to a csv file? Please help. Thank you.

I spent a few hours trying all the suggestions that i found by searching. Why is it so difficult to simply DISABLE FOREVER the threaded sort that so many of us find painful? Why can't we have a simple way to tell Thunderbird: "never ever sort by threaded"? As a last resort, i am currently searching for old versions of Thunderbird.

Hello. I need help getting Thunderbird to stop marking and sorting certain emails as threads. Seems to be completely spontaneous and for no apparent reason, even in the inbox. I have never actively marked emails as threads. I've tried to remove the "threads" function in the folder settings, but it doesn't seem to have helped in some cases. I also need help with getting the email "unstuck" from the thread structure, I have tried "Ignore threads" and "Ignore subthreads" with the result that the email disappeared. The documents I have seen have not been of any help. Reply preferably to my usual e-mail address, have a bit of ours with mail in the G-mail account.

  Please Bosse
