Dear Thunderbird support team,

I wanted to set up a filter sending a copy of e-mails from a particular sender to another e-mail address (within the same company) but I did not find such an option. There is only a possibility of forwarding the e-mail to another address.

Would it be possible to add it in the next release please?

Thank you.

Wishing you the best of luck,

1. I want the subject line in each email generated in a Mail Merge to contain the first name of its recipient, and I may wish the body of each email to contain that element as well as others. Surely I should be able to do that using a mailing list from my Address Book as the source of my recipients, without having to resort to the use of a separate CSV file each time!

2. I believe I must identify each element to appear personalized by enclosing it in double brackets, e.g., {{First}}. But that doesn't appear to work, and neither does {{First Name}}. What am I doing wrong?

I have Thunderbird Version/Edition: 52.3.0 (32 bit).

I would love to make the margins of my composed messages narrower by default, so that words automatically went on to a new line.

If this IS possible to do, can anyone simply give me layperson's plain-English guidance as to how to set 'word wrap' or 'margin widths' up?

An example of the 'route' I should take to set this up would be brilliant.

And, if I needed to use HTML, where could I access a 'dictionary' of this, so that I could see what words and punctuation to use, and where one should put spaces, or not.

(I would prefer HTML to CSS as I'm more familiar with HTML).

Many thanks.

How can I show my Favicon in my sent emails in the subject line? It shows up in the browser but I would like it to show in the sent emails subject line. Thank you.

I would like to create an "Mark As Read" and "Mark as Unread" toolbar button.

What exactly does the "create new toolbar" do at the bottom of the View-Toolbars-Customize screen. Couldn't find anything in help.

Since I updated Thunderbird yesterday, all of the messages I send — and receive — are sans-serif, even though I'm set to at least SEND messages in Georgia (serif). How can I fix this?

For example, I want to automatically check the messages every 24h on Sunday and every 10min on the other day; how can I do?

On my Thunderbird I have many account: when I am at work, I need to check my working email box every 10min on working days, but when I am not at work I don't want to check the working box every 10 minutes but only one or two times in a day. Actually if I set the automatic check on every 10min, on Sunday I receive continuously the notification of new message (only message that I use on Monday) having a distraction for the other message of the other account that I need effectively to check every 10min on Sunday.

So I want to set the check of the message depending on the days of the week, or better by choosing a specific time/day. For example, for the account "Work" I want to ckeck mail every 10min from Monday to Saturday from 8.00 to 18.00, and every 180min from 0.00 to 7.59 and from 18.01 to 23.59. On sunday I need to ckeck it from 0.00 to 23.59 every 12h. For the account "Personal" I need to check it every 180min on every day from 0.00 to 23.59.

Many thanks Gerardo from Italy

I can get 200 emails in one day, all with attachments I need to process. At present, the only option for me, in Thunderbird, is to view each email and click on the attachment. If you've ever tried doing that 200 times in a matter of minutes you will appreciate that it's not a good solution. Eudora, which I was using prior to using Thunderbird, but which is old and has problems running properly with the latest versions of Windows, automatically saves all attachments in a specific directory.

Can we please have, as a user-selected option, automatic saving of all attachments in a directory specified by the user? Those who don't need it don't have to use it; those of us who do need it will be saved a lot of time and effort.

I have two address books, personal and collected. How I got these I don't know. I do NOT want both. I want ONLY collected addresses to be shown in address book. How can I do this?

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 60.0 due to daily crashes with v 52.9, and appear to have lost all control over how much screen real estate the app takes up relative to my desktop size, and the size of non-zoomable font elements.

Stuff that used to work: - the Theme and Font Size Changer (even the "unofficial non-expire" version) add-on - editing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" in the config editor - setting "font-size:" in the "chrome/userChrome.css"

None of these seem to have any effect any more. I see lots of people posting similar questions this year, but can't find reliable answers for 60.0 onwards.

This is a major issue for me, it basically makes a 4K screen unusable for my eyesight and workflow.

Any suggestions for what *will* work, or pointers on how to fix/re-enable any of the above ?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) to download email messages from https://outlook.live.com using POP3.

I've been trying for weeks to switch Thunderbird from normal password to OAuth2 before outlook stops allowing normal password access to their server on September 16. But when I do that Thunderbird just stalls and doesn't download any messages. But if I switch back to normal password, then messages resume downloading.

I've uploaded a screenshot of my server settings.

Starting with TB 31.2 - some four months ago - I have not been able to open TB to the Inbox. I downloaded the "Select INbox" add on many times (and disabled/removed as many times) but it does not work consistently. When it does finally work I have no idea why. And then the next time, it doesn't work again!

Hi guys,

So here's my problem: each time I search for an email, Thunderbird's search engine looks through the entire history, which slows down the process unnecessarily. In 99% of the cases, the emails I'm searching are pretty recent (less than 6 months) so I was wondering whether I could configure the search engine so that it would only scan through a predefined period of time.

Thanks in advance for your help! Igor

I have read all the articles and they don't seem to apply. My Mac OS is version 10.12.6. Is there a fix for larger display fonts in the panes? It's so small that I can't read it.

A few updates ago in the Polish version of Thunderbird in the drop-down menu of the "inbox" ("Odebrane" in Polish) folder several shortcuts have the same letter underlined. For example, the letter W is used twice and the letter O twice. This makes it impossible to use this convenient method of handling mail.
