Hello -
I use tags to essentially flag emails for follow-up, then I sort by tags such that the stuff I need to take action on is always at the top. This works great as long as you're not using threading. If I turn on Sort By -> Threaded, this pushes the tagged items into a date-sorted order. So tagged email not in a thread are appropriately sorted to the top of the list, but any tagged email inside of a thread get buried in the list below the tagged items based on it's date.
Any ideas? I'm guessing that I'm stuck a unique workflow where there aren't that many people using the threaded view and sorting by tags. Ideally, when you sort by tags, it a thread contained a tag it would sort it along with the other tags.
I think a far amount of confusion in this area could be resolved with a more formal sorting mechanism. If there was the ability more formally say sort by "Tags" then-by "Unread" then-by "Date" (for example).

Thunderbird won't save passwords after migration to Debian from Windows

Hi, I installed Debian 9 (64-bit) on a VMware Workstation virtual machine. I installed Thunderbird 60.3.0 (64-bit) from the Debian software package installer. I opened Thunderbird for the first time to find the Profile Directory, then after closing Thunderbird, copied across the entire folder tree from my Windows 10 installation Profile Directory, from the Thunderbird folder down, pasting it into the .thunderbird folder on my new VM. I then opened Thunderbird. All my email and newsgroup accounts were there, and mail. However, it will not save my account passwords. I can only get mail after entering the password, and NOT selecting the "UsePassword Manager...." check box. I have to enter the password again to send mail, and again it will only send if I don't select to remember the password. If I look at the Saved Passwords dialog box there are none. I tried copying over the profile folder again in case I missed something, but the results were the same. By the way I do not have this problem in my Windows installation. I don't have access to it at the moment to confirm the version of Thunderbird, but I believe it is up to date and is the latest version for Windows 10.
Could it be that the Windows Thunderbird is 32-bit and so the profile is not compatible with the Debian Thunderbird because that is 64-bit? (I can't confirm the bitness of the Windows Thunderbird version until the weekend.)

I am FURIOUS!!! I was recently ignorant enough to download updates AGAIN and now Thunderbird doesn't open in the inbox as it has for the last 3 years. How do I fix this and what have I done to you to cause you to feel the need to do this to me? I was in a good mood, checking email and an annoying little pop-up encourages me to update. And like a fucking idiot I acquiesce. NOW every #@$@$Ting time I open Thunderbird, regardless of the fact that it was last open in the inbox which is preferred and how it has worked previously, I get the God damned view with Check Email, Accounts, and Advanced Features. Now I am in a horrible #@$ing mood and my computer has a mind of its own and is acting in a manner in direct opposition to my wishes. BTW thanks to the #@$Ting @#$holes who made this possible. I went from good to bad and now it will take who knows how @#$ing long to get my computer operating the way I want it to.

I have set the default directory for saving attachements in options-attachements (always save files to ) to c:\download but whenever I save attachements I still get a pop up directory window asking me to selct the directory. This can get tedious when I have multiple emails all with attachements. I have tried resetting the option to "always ask", restarting tbird and then changing back to "always save files to" and the behavior does not change. Any clues on how I can make this work properly. I have just updated to version 60.3.00 but this was happening in all previous versions s well.
thanks Nick

I have been trying to download all my email from Gmail via IMAP, but I'm only able to download emails back to 6/20/2017, 1 1/2 years ago.
Why Is this? How can I download / Synchronize all my emails (while keeping all their information, including the dates they were sent intact)?
- I couldn't upload the image of the settings, but the following Synchronization & Storage Settings are selected:
- Message Synchronizing - Synchronize All Messages - Don't Delete Any Messages
_________________
Back story (not to bore you):
Gmail has a storage limit of 15 Gigs, and my email has already used 15+. I would like to keep all my emails to reference later on my home computer running Thunderbird, and upload them to another gmail account so I can search them on my smart phone. I would like to dates of each email intact.

13Nov201 When I opened my Thunderbird email account, lodge1942@comcast.net at about 0630 hrs. it tried to go to the opening page and then went to Mozilla Thunderbird. I went back and it did the same thing. This is when I noticed the change in the icon. I went in to the page and tried to get back to my email but it just had page after page of info about the Firefox account. I can not get into or receive any email. Can not find out anything about opening it up. I did not ask for this nor did I give permission to have this new email.
UI Bug: Date & time format has extra punctuation now. Looks very sloppy. ie. "12-Nov.-18, 3:21 p.m."

There is suddenly too much punctuation in the date & time field of all messages (in the inbox and induvidual messages). Here is an example: "12-Nov.-18, 3:21 p.m."
- Month - now has an extra period. Should say "12-Nov-18". I'm on the fence about the comma after the year too, as the selected format doesn't necessitate a break after the date. - Time - the extra dots are unnecessay in AM and PM. Should say "3:21 pm" OR "3:21 PM"
This appears to be isolated to only Thunderbird. My current date & time setting are not the issue. It is not a 12h vs. 24h clock problem, as this would still not resolve the bug in the DATE format.
I'm pretty sure this is a UI bug that was introduced in the latest update (60.3.0), but if you know a way of resolving this, please let me know. Thanks.
With the latest update, the Mail Bar has a dark blue background and can't be read.
Apparently no way to change the background color to white, as it used to be. Apparently this is a new bug?

in a reply to an email, how do i include the original email's complete header?
with the latest thunderbird version (60.3.0), the original email's header (in the reply) contains much less information than previously, ie:
On [date and time] [user name] wrote
whereas with prior versions, the original email's header looked like
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: ...
From: [user name] <[email address]>
To: [user name] <[email address]>
CC: [user name] <[email address]>
Date: [date and time]
how can i revert back to the more verbose header, above?
in a support forum post on this topic (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1188567) the "change quote and reply format" add-on is recommended for this. but the response when trying to add this to thunderbird is;
change quote and reply format
could not be installed because it is
not compatible with thunderbird 60.3.0

Ich kann nicht nachhalten, an welche Mails ich die Bitte um eine Empfangsbestätigung angeklickt habe. Oder ob diese Empfangsbestätigung schon eingagangen ist oder evtl der Empfänger direkt auf die Mail geantwortet hat.
wenn also auf eine Mail mit der Bitte um Empfangsbestätigung keine Reaktion kommt, dann bekomme ich das gar nicht mit.
Ist eine entsprechende Funktion, zb wie die Büroklammer für Anhänge, schon irgendwo vorhanden?

I am using Thunderbird on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 with a Dropbox sync. It worked pretty well but I have got a problem since some weeks. If I start Thunderbird on Windows it always asks for the passwords. I tried checking the checkbox to store the password in the password manager but it doesn't work. Ubuntu doesn't ask for passwords. It is a mystery to me because the profile folder is stored in the cloud but only Ubuntu uses the stored passwords.

Hi Team,
This is for your information that we can alter sender email ID from thunderbird version 45 or above while sending out email to others and which can be used for email spoofing.
Like i have configured my email id [abc@test.com] in thunderbird but while composing email I can easily edit the sender's/from email id [abc@test.com] to anything hyg@hello.com etc, which email id/domain is even not available or available.
By using this I can send the emails to any one.This can be used for email spoofing.
Please solve this bug.
Thanks, Amar
How to configure Thunderbird for a different Windows user account?

When we first set up a new workstation, we normally have to log in to the Windows account we're going to configure the email account on.
While this is fine for a first deployment for a new user, sometimes, something goes wrong with their Thunderbird installation and chances are the user has already changed their password from the one we've originally given them. Or their unit broke and we'd have to give them a new one.
To resolve such issues, we'd normally have to ask for their Windows password which has it's own issues, especially if said issues occur near the end of their shift and it's either a Friday or they'll be on leave tomorrow.
Is there a better way to go about this? Being able to actually fix their profile while logged in as an admin without having to log in directly to their user account will be very useful for cases like those mentioned above.
