Please help with changing font for outgoing emails. I have clicked on Thunderbird settings, general, then fonts - Ariel and 15 is selected but another serif type font is produced. Very puzzled!

Email messages which contains items other than plain text used to cause a button to be displayed that told me there were items other than plain text in the message and asked if I wanted to display them. Suddenly, that option no longer appears on individual messages. I don't know of anything I did to disable that function.

This might also belong under accessibility. Or how to organize the screen? At this point I cannot get some messages because there is no space left for it. This has happened gradually but now its impossible. I will attach a screen shot to show the problem. (I would have a tiny bit more room if I could get rid of that line of tags since they come on a dropdown anyway. Thank you so much,

I searched throughout Thunderbird's settings to see where I could enlarge the font in the main screen where the list of emails are. I can't even Ctrl+ in this screen to enlarge it! Help! Eye Strains... Please see the paint screenprint.jpg. for illustration. Thank you! Marla

I need help to remove a Thunderbird message "Welcome to Freedom" which pops up every time I open Thunderbird to read or write mails. Can you remove it, please? Or advice me how to remove it. Thank you Kind regards Kirsten Liljegren [redacted]@gmail.com

I'm running windows 11 and Thunderbird 140.8.1, and I'd like to see beside each folder name a count of the number of read emails, total number of emails, And the size of the folder . How do I turn this on?

When I click on the grey cloud, next to the blue [+ New Message] button, to download any new messages the system displays 4 messages in the status line. It is 4 because I have 4 email accounts.

My problem is that these messages, and any other ones, disappear to quickly. Is there any setting I can change to make them stay visible for a few seconds longer?

Hello!

There are two features that did not transfer from my Win10 desktop profile and .INI to my new win11 desktop;

1. There is no menu bar at the top of screen, I now must depress the ALT key to see File, Edit, View etc. tabs.

1. The win 10 profile did automatically reset the cursor over the "OK" prompt after invoking Empty Trash, etc. I recall enabling this optional setting, but have not been able to relocate that setting on the win11 machine.

Can someone give me guidance for getting these features working on the win11 home box?

TIA.

I'm going to walk you thru this as it is not a problem that can be resolved by "press F8". If I have T'bird open and have just replied to the last email in my Inbox, the reply pane closes as usual. Then, if the PC goes to sleep, when I wake it up T'bird opens the email that I had previously answered in a reply pane as if I wanted to reply to it... which I have already done. This is somewhat annoying, and has only started happening in the last 6 weeks or so. Can this "helpful" function be turned off ?

First thing this afternoon, the background color of the mail composition screen was changed to solid green. The HTML toolbar is semi-transparent, and I cannot change the screen background back to white. When I click the cursor in the compose window, the HTML toolbar appears, but it does not change the background to white. The format tool indicates a white screen with black text. In Config Editor, the compose background colors are white and black text. I have tried several theme changes, including the theme from Mozilla, but there has been no change.

Rebooting Win 11, no change.

My Thunderbird has behaved very well for a decade or more. No issues and still the same. My question relates to the delete function. When I press delete I get a warning of a delete email with a chance to go back. I changed this to see what happens and now I cannot find how to return to second chance as this works best for me. Possibly simple but how? regards Replytree

Using https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1544905 as an example I placed this in my profile's userchrome.css and restarted thunderbird:

.calendar-month-day-box-current-month[relation="today"] {

   border: 10px solid red;

}

It seems not to be working in thunderbird 148.0.1 (64-bit on windows 11).

So I found the today panel in the debugger and added border: 10px solid red; to its element. That worked perfectly, as the attached image confirms. It also confirms the class is correct and that it contains the today relation.

I can't see the userchrome.css file in the debugger, which seems strange. But I edited the body colour in userchrome.css and that worked, so I know the file is being used. So why is the change to the today panel being ignored?

To confirm that I had the correct userchrom

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for emails. Somehow I have clicked something and lost the actual email, unless I double click on it and then it appears as though I am replying to said email. I have the columns subject/correspondence/date and that is all. I've tried many ways to get the emails back on screen, but can't see how. I'm not overly computer literate. Many thanks for any help.

I am using Thunderbird on a Windows 10 PC with RCN internet. I had to create a new "account" when an old one wouldn't work since a recent Thunderbird ungrade ( :/ ) and now this new one keeps threading emails, which I hate and want back to individual ones.

Is this possible?

Thank you.
