I need to increase the font size of the display. It is about 8 point. I cannot find an article that says how to increase the display when I first open Thunderbird. I can increase the font form the actual message or replies.

When I installed Thunderbird, I selected Custom Installation, thinking I would get an opportunity to select which components I wanted installed. All it allowed me to do is define the installation folder. Not very "customizable." Anyway, I already have a calendar app that I'm perfectly happy with, don't need a task manager, and don't use chat, Is there a way to remove those apps from Thunderbird?

Settings config section to "Incoming Mails," sub-section - "When new messages arrive" to: "Play a sound" buttons... "Play" and "Browse" are non-functional buttons.

Consequently, one cannot change the incoming notification sound.

BTW, the present link indicating a notification sound doesn't work, either.

At Thunderbird > Settings > Privacy & Security > under Passwords > "View Saved Password", the dialog box pops up correctly. But the size of the box is so small the columns can't display the complete info i.e. username, password, or date. When I hover on the column divider I get the left/right sizing arrow but nothing happens when I click & drag the arrow. I am on Thunderbird 159. Thanks.

I'm not sure what to call the different parts of the compose-message window, so please look at the attached screenshot. I'd like to relocate some of the buttons from the top right corner to the lower left, below where the formatting buttons are. Is there a way to do so?

I have a very long list of filters and would like to have the list alphabetized. Is there a way other than "move to [I don't know--bottom? top?]. An alphabetized list would certainly help. Thanks,

I’m looking for card body previews in the message list/card view, similar to seeing a short preview of the email body under the subject/sender. Is this feature currently available anywhere in Thunderbird?

If not, is it planned, and is there any estimated version or timeline for when it may be added?

Good day. Can you tell me where to get admx thunderbird management templates and a description of each policy? Is there any Russian language support in admx? There is more information in the official documentation on the use of the polices.json configuration file than admx. Thank you.

When i compose an email in TB i have to go back and correct. When i use Outlook 2019 (now possibly migrating to TB and / or Betterbird) i never have this issue as it always corrects the "i" to "I" when creating a sentence using UK language and dictionary pack settings. Why can't i do this with TB when composing.

Is there a setting for this. Many thanks in advance.

I have configured the message columns in the Message List pane for all the folders the way I want them. Unfortunately, Thunderbird frequently changes the columns in some, but not all, of the folders back to the default column configuration.

To temporarily fix this, I click on the column picker button in the folder that has the column configuration I want and select "Apply columns to > Folders and its children > " my top level folder. I also repeat this and select "Apply current view to > Folders and its children >" my top level folder. Sometimes this corrects the column organization in all my folders, but I usually have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get the columns arranged the way I want them in ALL my folders. This lasts a few days before Thunderbird again returns the message columns in SOME of my folders to the default configuration. I then have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get them the way I want, only to have to do this again in a few days.

How do I stop Thunderbird from making these changes, or how do I change the default column setting to the way I want it, not the way Thunderbird wants it?

This is not a new issue for me. I've been dealing with this for quite some time over many Thunderbird versions.

Hi. I am finding the scroll bar to the right of Thunderbird's main window very narrow and hard to spot where the cursor is located. Does anyone know if it can be made large, please?

Hi,

I used to scroll up in current message using Shift+Space, but it stopped working for a few days now. it's not mentionned in moving around TB, so I don't know if it was normal behaviour or a feature added by TB's arch maintainer.

How do I make Thunderbird open a new window instead of another tab? When I open a PDF file, setting, address book, or other, it always goes to a new tab. When I want to close this file, I often forget it's a tab and close the whole program! Annoying! I want these thing to open in new windows instead where I can hit close without shutting down Thunderbird.
