Thunderbird Support Forum

Hello, In the latest THUNDERBIRD, I cannot sort incoming emails into unread because the program shows a cascade of the first thread to the last one, and I want to see only the last unread message from a given thread, as in the old program. how to turn it off?

I've been using Thunderbird for over a year now (oh, how I miss Eudora!) and the one continual irritation I have is that if I reply to an email from my inbox (usual), it sends a copy to my inbox. When I send an original message, I have a copy saved to my sent folder on my email provider (Protonmail). I'd like copies of replies saved to the same place. I do NOT want them in my inbox, and the "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to" box is unchecked.

Just as an aside, occasionally I'll want to see on my phone emails that I've sent from my computer. Of course, I don't have access to Thunderbird from my phone (and pretty sure I don't want it there either).

How do I fix this?

Hi

In old thundebird I had unified folders view. Under Inbox I was able to see all accounts and in main inbox I was able to select which inboxes I want to see.

Now, in supernova under main inboxes I see only those accounts that are selected in main Inbox.

Is it possible to activate old view?

Thank you

Hello,

Within the past week or so, whenever I download my email, I then get a little dialog box telling me that "Could not connect to server news; the connection was refused", and then asking me to enter my username and password. This is something new.

Once upon a time I did subscribe to some newsgroups; I haven't looked at them in years.

I can download email, but have no need to access the news server. I deleted the sub-folders nested within the news server, but I still get that dialog box.

I looked at my settings, but am unable to determine how to stop tbird from polling the news-server.

for years I have used Thunderbird, and during that time have replaced serveral old pc/laptops. My new laptop when trying to open Thunderbird asks for a password. I have no record of that anywhere!! So how do i create a new password or gain acess to use Thunderbird. Im using Windows 11

The header below the list of emails and above the body of the selected email no longer shows the sender. Which seems really bizarre. I found under View either Headers - All or Headers - Normal. Headers - All gives it all plus the kitchen sink, twenty or thirty lines with a scroll bar. Headers - Normal just gives the subject, and the recipient - me. Which is a bit redundant! How can I get back to pre makeover headers?

In quick filter toolbar I am missing to search by from, to , subject, body as it was in TB112. Without using addons, such as Expression Search this would be a major flaw of the new TB115 in the usability.

In Thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit) when you have collapsed threads enabled I have seen the software indicate there are say 8 unread messages. There are no bolded messages in the message panel. If you click on the READ status column you still can not see the unread messages. The only way is to uncollapse the threads and scroll down the message pane to see the bolded messages in each thread. Why?

If the threads are collapsed how are we supposed to find unread messages?

I am trying to get a constant font size on all screens ; have gone into settings and account settings; the problem I am finding is that there are various paths that tend to be confusing for trying to have a constant one style or "font" for all screens ; have tried day after day to achieve, and there has to be something I am not doing; is providing a telephone or email for someone to help me?

Ever since the updates I can't move the bar up to have a smaller window for emails and a larger window for the actual letter. I used to move it up to have the last 3 emails showing. Now the least I can have is 10, leaving a small window for the letter itself. Why? Why make updates that give us less flexibility. Sometimes updates drive people like me crazy. We get used to something and it gets changed. I have been sending in money to support this email program. But right now I'm quite discouraged with it and wondering if I should be looking for something else.

I am using the current Thunderbird and when I have the email clients collapsed the page is a general one that lets me create new mail or calendar accounts. I would like to not see that and perhaps just see a clean, tidy, blank page. How can I do it?

After updating TB from 112 to 115 the display window is after starting mostly blank. The email folder tree is hidden left. When I pull it to standard location, when I click to the message folder to see the emails, they do not appear on the right. I need then to reset the screen setting to get to the standard classic theme. This holds only short time and again I have a blank screen as attached. When I click to File and then on Exit, it takes very long to close the TB. Closing the TB wit the right cross top works immediatelly. In my case I have a big folders (few GB each) and multiple emal accounts. I really have to say, that in speed and friendly usage is the 115 step backwards from 112.

How do I change the folders and toolbars to black text on white. I have change the mozzilla toolbars to black text on white ,and the messages in thunderbird to black text on white, but the folder windows and toolbars are still white text on black. Why is this so hard to find and fix?

Can you please let me know why the coloring of my text which was so simple in the earlier versions is no longer possible.

In such situations can you allow me to use an older version till you fix these bugs?

This is very frustrating and will be grateful if you can help.

I have been a donor and really want to see Thunderbird succeed.

I get 100-150 e-mails a day, wade through them, respond to few, eliminate some, but still in a month there's a pile-up of hundreds. How can I set Thunderbird to delete all more than two weeks old? And not to put some at the top of the string and some at the bottom of the string? A method of harvesting and burning off.

How can I prevent thunderbird 115.5.1 from expanding my zip attachments prior to mailing? Even though the zipped file is below the 5 meg maximum, Thunderbird unzips the file as soon as it is entered as an attachment thus making it above the 5 meg maximum.
