Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

All of the help documentation I've found for importing MBOX emails downloaded from an old Gmail account doesn't match what I'm seeing in my version of Thunderbird (115.3.2). Whether I access "Import" from the Tools or the Local Folders tab, I don't get an option to import mbox (see screenshots).

What am I doing wrong? Am I looking in the wrong place? Did I download my folders/files incorrectly from Gmail in June?

How to automatically delete trash after X days on POP account

I would like to delete emails in my trash folder automatically after 30 days in the trash bin. I uses POP account settings. I can only find a setting that deletes the trash on exit, but that is too quick. I need more time to recover email from the trash in case I am later alerted to the fact that something I thought was trash turns out to be important. Usually a week or two will suffice. After 30 days, it's a pretty safe bet that anything in the trash is actually trash, so then I want to delete it automatically. Seems like there must be a setting for this somewhere. Anyone know if there is one? If not, how do we request that it be added as an option? Thanks.

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

I realize that this forum is made up of Mozilla users. Is there any way to reach any type of support person at Mozilla (specifically for Thunderbird)? What does one do when no one has an answer, or even a suggestion, on how to fix a problem? Is there any way to contact Mozilla, either to ask questions or to make suggestions?

I used to have an extension or add-on the allowed me to play my own sounds for an incoming email on Thunderbird. However, that seems to have disappeared and I cannot find an add-on that will allow me to to that. I have many sounds that used to work but whenever you do an update to the browser they don't work.

Is there any add-on that you have that will work with my own alerts on Thunderbird or do I need to find another browser?

I'm using my Firefox account to successfully view open tabs across devices, and I'm really enjoying it. I was wondering if I could use this account to sync my Thunderbird account and configuration settings across devices, rather than maintaining them both individually. Is this something that's possible now? Is this on the roadmap?

Thank you very much for your time, and take it easy. :)

I used to be able to turn off my laptop for weeks at a time and when I turned it back on, it would download only the email messages that came in after it was turned on. Now it downloads every message that came during the time it was off even when I have received, opened, responded, deleted them on my desktop PC. This results in thousands of messages on my laptop that have to be deleted. How can I reset this?

My text defaults to 'paragraph' giving me double spacing when I type several lines of type. When I switch over to 'body text' it doesn't stick. It reverts back automatically to 'paragraph'. I have opened preferences and turned off 'paragraph', but again it just reverts back to 'paragraph'

Please advise. Thanks, Clive Smith.

I have often had a problem with junk mail arriving with a date higher than today's date so that it will sit at the top of my email list when I open my email. I set up a Thunderbird email filter that deletes any email with a date greater than some arbitrary date (I used 1/1/2030). I would prefer to specify TODAY as the 'greater than' date but I can't figure out how to do that unless there is a variable date that will read my system's clock or something similar.

What I would like to know is is there such a variable and if so what is it? I would like to be able to filter incoming email with a filter such that it will delete any incoming mail if it has a DATE greater than @TODAY.
