Thunderbird Support Forum

As an example, I might order a flashlight from a vendor. I would have received an order confirmation by email, and then might get another message when it is delivered. But depending on the vendor's practices, these messages might not say "flashlight." A year later, suppose I want to know where I ordered the flashlight. If the messages refer to an order number but do not say "flashlight", I don't have a simple way to find this out. What I would like to do, when I archive the message (or subsequently), is to edit the body (or subject) to include this keyword. Is there any straightforward way to do this in Thunderbird? Thanks for any advice.

Dear Sir, I don't know why whenever I log in the Thunderbird email (IMAP), the problem is that the Thunderbird email account always download the email to my Inbox very slow? How to solve this problem ?

I have found that as a rule TB seems to create a file header line with the date and various other aspects of the files not as I want them. See attached snap... That is what I want. How do I copy it to all folders (120 of them) Regards Kevin

I understand reading through this forum that there isnt a way (yet) to install Thunderbird on an iphone. Is there an easy way to check it mobilly though via a browser maybe?

I have a bat file in Windows 10:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose "to='partner@mail.com',subject='Happy new Year',body='TextFile.txt',Attachment='AttFile.pdf'"

What is the correct syntax to get 'TextFile.txt' as body and 'AttFile.pdf' as attachment ? I have tried hundreds of ways, and no one works.

I use both gmail and hotmail with Thunderbird. When I send a Hotmail message, the recipient's inbox shows the note came from gmail. So, when they respond to sender, it goes to my gmail account. Is there a way to fix this ?

I keep telling thunderbird that messages are not junk, but it keeps putting them back in the Junk folder. The messages come from people in my address book. What the f... is going on? It is extremely annoying. I have been using thunderbird forever. I would have to switch to microsoft software. Please help!

This is apparently an unusual thing, I've searched for months and found no mention. Most contacts in my address books receive, forward, reply to emails in Thunderbird as you'd expect. There is one frequent contact, and possibly only one contact, person in my address books with whom this strange thing happens. And it happens not all the time, but frequently. A message will arrive with the header showing from 'Bob' and to 'Me'. As you'd expect. When I hit 'reply', the blank response message is created from 'Bob' to 'Me'. Opposite of what it should. Naturally, I assume Thunderbird is doing what it always does and I don't notice that, going straight to the reply. Until my reply hits my inbox seconds later, as being from 'Bob' to 'Me' and is not saved in the Sent folder. Usually I just forward that received mail to 'Bob', who at first got confused that I'm forwarding my own response. It seems to happen in batches, but then another message from 'Bob' to 'Me' will reply normally from 'Me' to 'Bob'. Always the same accounts. Both accounts are gmail, if that matters.
