I have not received emails addressed to the three accounts we originally set up years ago. The only email that has come through is one from xfinity which uses the xfinity account name. I logged onto xfinity and no new messages are residing there. I've downloaded a couple of the Mozilla help articles but don't seem to be getting anywhere.

Hi, I have several issues regarding signatures -

1) how do i make a signature consisting of some text as well as an image - i have created my signature in a new email, saved it as a HTML file and used it as a file for my signature..

2) but when i create a new email - it shows for like a 1 second and then disappears.. doesnt appear in replies or forwards..

3) i tried to instead just use an image as a signature.. again just shows up for 1 second in replies and forwards and disappears..

have set all settings as instructed in the various answers in the forums..

Please assist. Thanks

Using TBird 102.11.0: I have two accounts in TBird, A and B. I have a different smtp server configured for each one. I have flagged the server for Acct B as the default which worked fine until the last upgrade yesterday. Now when I write, it only selects the server for A. I can use the drop down to select the B server, but I want that as the default when I WRITE from the A account. If I WRITE from the B account, it works fine. How can I get it to use the B server all the time unless I manually select the A server?

so i have a backup local folder where i copy all the mails from the inbox of an account from, and another local folder where i copy the spam folder of an account from, but i am doing that manually, and i don't just delete the now backed up mails. so next time i have to find out first where the cutoff is, before i start selecting and copying again, because otherwise i'd be backing up duplicates.

is there an easier way to avoid duplicates, or a synchronization function that takes care of avoiding duplicates for me?

I have an Outlook email account which I manage using Thunderbird.

For reasons not known to me some strange folders have appeared in the folder list. The folders in question all have italian names and appear to be some sort of system error folders - Problemi di sincronizzazione.

I do not recognise them, they are empty and are not visible when I view the outlook account using a browser.

I would like to delete them but when I attempt to do so I get an error message "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account Outlook responded:Command Argument Error. 11."

Any help to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance

After changing my password I get the following error message: "Server imap.pt.lu has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem" Thunderbird is running well on my mobile, so why not on my PC? I have tried these things: Internet connection is working (as you can see from this mail) I have checked server settings, they seem okay. I have deinstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. All to no avail. Can you help me?

In version 102.10.1 I can change the font size of the various Thunderbird panes independently. I've used the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx variable in the Config Editor to get the menu, folder index, headings, and other fixed parts of the UI to a reasonable size, but the message pane, reply quote, and other parts of the displayed text are way too large. I've tried to use the font size controls in Settings to adjust them, but with little luck.

So, what I would like to see is a concise table showing each font size parameter and exactly which panes and text it applies to. Or, I would like to see written instructions for making the font size the same for all text appearing in Thunderbird, anywhere in Thunderbird.

Or any other answer that is equivalent to these to help me achieve the same font size throughout Thunderbird.

Note: while I can see that some text is too large, I have not verified that a recipient would see text that is too large, since I'm not certain how to test for this, or how to text for both plain text and formatted text. I prefer to send plain text and receive formatted text, if that is relevant.

Hi there. I'm a non-developer but I've been using Thunderbird Beta for a while. I'm not enjoying the current updates (no drag and drop function to move messages between folders!) and would like revert to regular Thunderbird (currently 102.10). I use Backup Thunderbird but I don't think it will load into an older install of Thunderbird. Advice for a safe way to migrate to regular Thunderbird without losing data? Thank you!
