I recently upgraded to version 115.10.1 and it is driving me utterly insane. It repeatedly turns on threading. I turn it off for a folder, next time I log in it's on again. I turn it off in a folder and copy that setting to all other folders, but it turns itself on again. Others say turn it off in Settings/Appearance. But I don't seem to have Settings/Appearance.

How do I stop this? Or is there a way to find out what version I was originally running and go back to that. I hadn't upgraded for a good while but my old version was much better. This one is also really slow and I hate the tiny text.

Last time thunderbird used to list the message by column. Refer to diagram 1 middle section. Now they list it in up down. Refer to diagram 2. Anyone know how to change back to list by column ? I am now using ver 137.0.2 (64 bit).

Hello:

a question on the programs default design & possible alteration...

the mailbox program by default creates a folder on the hard drive in the *user* profiles folder.... in appdata/roaming in *Windows 10*, this folder contains all of the various mailbox information, the number of individual mailboxes that the user has created & makes use of. This folder (in my case) gets quite large (I have a lot of stored messages saved from 2 particular mailboxes in there). At the moment that folder is well over 1 gig large..... I'm making use of the imap configuration, is it possible to save all of these messages to *the cloud* instead of the messages taking up physical space on my hard drive? All of my source mailbox accounts make use of *cloud* storage to save any users information.... can one do the same with Thunderbird?

thx

Sorry if this is already a problem mentioned but can't find it so here we go. If I receive an email with a link or several links and I click on them I get this noisy message saying there is no app associated with this link. This just started a couple of days ago. I didn't do anything different that I know of. Perhaps this is just a new problem with that awful OS W11.

So, any clues as to what has caused this and what would I look for in app association?

Thanks so much in advance.

I just upgraded to Thurderbird V. 139, and my inbox looks completely different, which must have been part of this release intentionally, with every message summary now in an outlined rounded rect box, rather than beiung presented as a simple one line of table. Is there a way to go back to the old look? It let me see way more message summaries at one time, even when the new look is on high density. Thanks!

I had received several emails from an individual over the past few weeks. All emails displayed in the inbox (on my desktop computer) as they should. This afternoon suddenly all of these emails disappeared from the desktop inbox. The emails are still on the server and are and can be viewed in the inbox on my laptop but not on my desktop. If I use the quick filter function in the desktop the emails are there but not in the inbox. I assume some sort of filter accidentally was activated (I did not attempt any filter changes) but I can't find how to remove this filter function so the emails again appear in the inbox as they should. Please provide detailed instructions how to get these emails to reappear in the desktop inbox.

I've got a new laptop and installed Thunderbird 150 on it. I'm so disappointed that the "Message Preview" option is missing. I really depended on that. How can I get it on this new version of Thunderbird?

Mam problem z odnośnikami graficznymi w wiadomościach e-mail. Kiedyś jak klikałem lewym przyciskiem myszy to byłem przenoszony od razu do przeglądarki, w której była wyświetlana odpowiednia strona. A teraz pojawia się ikona lupy+ i obrazek jest powiększany zamiast przenoszenia do przeglądarki. Chciałbym powrócić do poprzednich ustawień, ale nie mogę nigdzie tego znaleźć. Pozdrawiam Marcin

I have a problem with graphic links in emails. In the past, when I clicked with the left mouse button, I was immediately taken to the browser, which displayed the appropriate page. Now, the magnifying glass icon + appears and the image is enlarged instead of being taken to the browser. I would like to return to the previous settings, but I can't find it anywhere.

All of a sudden the font alignment in my inbox looks really strange, see image, i don't know what happened i didn't change anything, i did restart my computer this morning. I'm on a mac running Sonoma 14.7.1 , thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

any ideas what's happening here? thank you!

I use Thunderbird 140.11.1esr with Ubuntu 24.04. I also use LibreOffice 26.2.

When using LibreOffice, if I want to delete a number of contiguous characters, I put the cursor at the start of the characters I want to delete, press the delete key and hold it. Holding down the delete key means that delete works its way through all the characters I want to delete.

When using Thunderbird, if I want to delete a number of emails, pressing down and holding the delete key doesn't result in the deletion of a number of emails. Instead, I have to keep pressing delete again and again.

Is there some setting in Thunderbird that I can change that will result in delete automatically working its way through all the emails I want to delete?

Thanks,

Leslie
