The qr code displayed in the account transfer email from thunderbird is bigger than my pc screen. Snapping a picture with phone camera not possible. I employ visual accessibilities on pc as I am elderly and have tried to get emails to appear smaller. Cannot get entire qr image on screen.

I have visual issues and cannot read thin text. I am trying to set up a Windows machine where it defaults to thin text. Yes, both Windows and Thunderbird allow users to increase font size and scaling, but I don't have enough screen size. It's much more helpful to increase font weight, and only somewhat increase some font sizes.

I already have /* Global UI font */

• { font-family: Andika !important; }
• { font-size: 12pt !important; }
• {font-weight: bolder !important;}

Which makes the message list good and bold, and

1. threadTree tr[data-properties~="unread"] {

color: red !important; }

Which distinguishes unread messages.

But for whatever reason, the fix doesn't extend to the messages or the settings page.

My window 10 pro crashed, but I still can access C drive, would you please show where is my latest home.ics on local C drive? Thanks so much. Anthony Chu at [edited from public] @comcast.net

With the new version of TB the address book has become unusable. It is not White Text on white background. I can't find any settings to reset or apply a theme or fix the colors of the text within the address book. There are many settings and themes that one could apply to the mailbox but if one can't see the address book that pretty much it useless to try to use the email.

How does one just set up the ENTIRE program to apply a theme? Or can we get a working White and Dark themes that address all Text and All backgrounds to make them legible so there are at least useful. TB has become very frustrating. Sorry to rant but before the big changes to use native Darkmode it was really good email client but like so many that try to embrace the darkmode trend (which isn't a bad idea) they are falling short of addressing the entire product.

Any help to address the color issues in the address book would be greatly appreciated.

I get a reasonable number of TEAMS & Zoom invites by email into my Firefox account.

I have 2 questions ...

1. Can I add Google Calendar to FireFox Calendars ..... or vice versa ... so I can add an invite to FireFox calendar and have it show in Google Calendar.

2. Currently if the invite includes an .ics file I can import that into Google Calendar ..... clunky, but works. However many invites do not include an .ics file ..... as the invfite has arrived in FireFox .... can that generate an .ics file ?

I need to use Google Calendar as it provides cross platform support of multiple calendars.

Hello Everybody . I have used Thunderbird for a number of years and I like it and have supported it from time to time with donations . I am a person with dyslexia and their a lot of people with this problem . more than you would think . The one thing that I think would be nice is to have a speech to text as part of Thunderbird . It would be a big help to us with dyslexia . Thank you for letting me bend your ear .

I have trouble reading weekly messages from one particular sender. It's a group message and apparently I'm the only person who reports an issue. The messages consist of a single sentence followed by one or two inline images. On arrival, the image (a timetable) is unreadable and must be zoomed in and scrolled across the phone screen. The preceding sentence is also unreadable and doesn't wrap at the screen width. Are there settings that might help? Attached are 3 screenshots: 1 As received 2 Zoomed to image width 3 Zoomed for sentence readability.

Edited. 4 As received on desktop TB

The PC version of Thunderbird wraps the opening sentence nicely.

I had to turn off Norton VPN to use Thunderbird as my email client for the Comcast email service. Is there any strategy to allow Thunderbird to work through a VPN? I use the POP protocol and keep all saved messages (hundreds) on my PC, not on the email server.

How do I report an issue with the way NVDA and Thunderbird interact? When I tab, I can't out of a link, and the focus does not move. If I tab to a link in a message then arrow down, I am where I expect, but then if I go to the top of the message, the tab focus remains where it was when I last hit the tab key. This is not standard behavior, but everyone else I've talked to seems to think it's behaving normally and has no tips for me on how to fix it.

I am unable to add new contacts in my contact list. It definitely is creating a problem. Why will it not let me add them, please and how do I fix the issue? I did not have this problem until I got a new computer and using Windows 11.

Hello, it is impossible sending e-mails from our e-mail accounts and the message that appears is "Two many sending failures". No e-mails have been sent back. Is it possible to remove this block?

This is absolutely insane. I set up a email account(also did about a year ago) and I can not get back to my mail. Why in gods name is it so difficult? I have multiple email accounts with most all the major email websites and this one is utterly impossible to use. I just keep ending up in the same spot with no information to help get out of the endless circle. I don't even know if I could find my way back to here. I will give you my email address to try and get something more constructive than the past two days. I want to make mozilla products my main users for all my different platforms to simplify my life but I am having my doubts about thunderbird. So far it is a useless time waster. I'm shocked that this is under the Mozilla name. I normally associate Mozilla with high quality, easy to use products. My goal is to have all the phones, tablets,laptops, and desktops operating on linux and mozilla. Thank you in advance. X@yahoo.com
