68.4.1 update hangs up ("About" dialogs says it is updating, but it never finishes). Neither "Run as administrator" or "Safe mode" helps. Only unique element of my setup (AFAIK) is that the profile is on a shared network drive.
I reverted to 60.9.1. And this is the second time subsequent to release of 60.9.1 that the update process has failed.

After the most recent update, Thunderbird went to Dark theme. I tried to put it back to Default theme, and it is still in Dark theme although with the task bar headers default. Putting it on Light theme makes everything washed out and colors are wrong. I was happy before with the appearance, now it looks childish and ugly. This last update seems to have broken the appearance. Can I roll it back?

I didn't realize there was no official technical support for Thunderbird. Thank you for anyone who takes time to respond. Someone hacked into a personal email and used Thunderbird to synch and possibly download to their computer. I would like to see if POP vs IMAP was used. If I changed my email password to original account (earthlink) and they only used IMAP, would that mean they no longer have access to the old messages that they had previously synched and viewed through Thunderbird? Or would that only prevent them from viewing new emails - post change of earthlink passcode?

Hello. I don't know but having just had to redownload the latest Thunderbird after a self-inflicted (partly) computer crash, I have set up my 3 email accounts via POP (2 Gmail and 1 main/BT one). I then went through settings to check settings for junk, keeping messages on server and so on. BUT for some inexplicable reason, I can no longer see the option for moving deleted messages ... into a folder I created for each account called, artistically,. deleted. It used to be there as an option along with all the other folder type stuff but where is it hidden now please ... or is it simply a question of "should have gone to Specsavers!" lol
Thank you. Nick

I would like to make configuration changes and have those changes be applied to all user profiles.
Currently when I make changes for one Windows user and then switch user the changes are not carried across. I assume that each user has a 'Profile' that contain their own settings. How can I make configuration changes and have them be applied to ALL (current and future) users?
Thanks, Michael

I Love ThunderBird...its by far the best mail program....I just updated to the latest version 68.1 and everything came across just fine and i was able to get one of my very important add ons....Import/Export tools. However the other vital add on Theme and font changer is not available for this version. The size of the menus is so small as to be almost impossible to read on a small laptop. Any chance of an updated version the the Theme and Font Add On? Thanks

Once again following a Thunderbird update, the lines between my message headers have disappeared. Here is the previous question and solution I found: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1256823
However, now, I still have the file userChrome.css set up the same way in my profile folder: C:\users\myname\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\jr8ewpri.default\chrome, but Thunderbird is not utilizing it. How do I get TB to recognize that file again?
Here is the content of the userChrome.css file:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* Add bottom border to thread pane (message list) */
- threadTree treechildren:-moz-tree-row {
border-bottom: 1px solid grey !important;

How to include "FROM:" sender when using "Reply all"

Hello Using 60.9.1, when I use "Reply all", Thunderbird does not include the address in the "From:" header. Thunderbird only includes the addresses from the "To:", "Sender:" and "Reply-to:" headers. Do you know of a way (add-in, customization, etc.) to force Thunderbird to also add the address that is in the "From:" header? This is for participation in mailing lists, when you want your reply to go to both the list and the original author. Thunderbird simply never includes the original author's e-mail address, which makes no sense, if the idea is to reply to "all". Thanks Samuel

When I have used the Search Box most times I seem to recall when I entered a search, below the box there would appear buttons that allowed me to apply it to Subject, To, From, or Message Body, or any combination of them. That was quick and easy and avoided the need to do a CtrlShftF and use that more complex screen. Something has changed or I forgot how to bring those buttons up because now when I do the standard quick search it is not searching the subject. The only way to do that is with the ctrlshftF search. I suspect I am just missing something. Any quick help would be appreciated.

I've been using Tbird for many years of trouble free usage, its one of my favourite apps primarily because it never changes and it never breaks. I have come to trust it and rely upon it. I just got into work today, Monday morning, updated Tbird, and all my add ons stopped working. Enigmail, and my theme disabled, and my lightning calendar lost all my events and will no longer sync with google. Is this expected? I did some googling about this and there is nothing in the release notes nothing that I can find online. This is a major hassle, I have actual work to do today and dont have time to spend googling and trying to fix this, and if I do fix it will it all just break again with the next update? Seems like there should be some warning for a major update like this, I went from 68.3.1 to 68.4.1 I was not expecting this to be a major change. I would really have appreciated some warning or some indication that everything would break, I could have scheduled the update for a time that suited me. At the very least a mention in the release notes seems like the minimum I would expect. This really sucks.
When I'm sending a reply I expect the cursor to be above the message that I'm replying to, how do I achieve this in Thunderbird?

Presumably there is a setting somewhere to make sure that you can type your reply above the text of the message that you're replying to - obviously I can move the cursor, but it will be tedious to have to do that for every single message I ever send - no other email app I've used has placed the incoming text above your reply. I'm sure there is a simple setting for this somewhere, but I don't seem to be able to find it; a pointer in the right direction will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Thunderbird just updated itself without asking and now all my emails look like they've disappeared - they haven't, they're in my profile folder, but just not displaying. New messages have downloaded but again, nothing is displaying.
I've read other articles which say it's a problem with using the default profile, so I've duplicated my profile and told Thunderbird to use the new profile. According to other articles, everything should reappear upon restarting the program, but it hasn't. The only thing on the left of my screen is 'Get Messages', no local folders etc.
Can someone please give me a little help getting the folders to reappear?
Thank you in advance! Justin

I can right-click within the attachment box field, with the response "Enter a web page, or document location." Thunderbird doesn't allow you to browse and/or navigate to document location, to attach file. The field always defaults to http://. I'm hoping the ability to attach files from my HD and/or desktop is possible with Thunderbird. Thanks for the help!

Hi, i just downloaded Thunderbird for Windows and I'm trying to configure my mail accounts but I can't find a way to do it with the iCloud one. I already know about the "app specific password thing"/2 step verification and I already use it on my android smartphone, but here I keep getting the same error message saying that there's something wrong about id, password or configuration. Also, I tried to use the default "Mail" app from windows and it works fine, though I'd prefer to use Thunderbird. Any suggestion?

When migrating this account and the .default to a new computer (W10), it is not bringing the Local Folders with its contained subfolders to the new computer. Listed below this profile in the tree on the left are tons of folders and file types of all kind - and they are all empty. However, all the subfolders created in Local Folders and their contained e-mails are there in the source Thunderbird when called up and are in the .default that the W10 computer is using. So, they do not appear to be loading correctly to Thunderbird and that profile on the new computer (W 10). What is going on?
