I've read the articles on creating a HTML Signature. I am a novice with it comes to HTML.

I have several email addresses on various ISPs. What I want to do is create one Signature file that extracts the account's email address so that I can use the signature file in more than one email account. Is there information somewhere about how to do this?

Thanks!

As a company we've been using apple mail with the mail tags plug in for years. Now that apple no longer allows plug ins with mail I'm looking for a new solution for our team of 50 with many shared IMAP accounts.

Will tags in Thunderbird share across IMAP accounts to multiple devices or are they device specific? I need to know specifically about custom tags, we need more than the 4 or 5 standard tags to share across devices.

Hello, I have been using Thunderbird with the Manually Sort Folders app for years. The ability to place folders and subfolders where I need them is essential for what I do. With the latest Thunderbird "upgrade", it was downgraded as the Manually Sort Folders app is no longer useable. Until Mozilla fixes it to where either the app can be used or Thunderbird is improved so that it will let me sort folders itself, I cannot upgrade. Please either render the Manually Sort Folders app useable again or make Thunderbird so that folder can be sorted. Thank you.

I've tried following the instructions from this link. https://ekiwi-blog.de/en/25881/synchronize-google-calendar-and-contacts-with-thunderbird-without-addons/

Basically, you add a new CardDAV Address Book; and then use this link as the location https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/myemail@gmail.com/lists/default/ P.S I did change "myemail@gmail.com" to my actual email address.

It fetches contacts from Gmail but it won't upload contacts from TB to Gmail; which is what I need TB to do so that I can keep contacts synchronizes across multiple laptops. I only add contacts from TB and won't use Gmail to add new contacts.

Is there a something that I need to set within Gmail to get this to work or it is just not possible at the moment to synchronize in both directions?

Okay. It's 2024 and after reading very stale suggestions for editing code I'm left wondering what mindset within the TB development community thinks the default of vertical lines applied during an email exchange is desired by most users? Is it really that difficult to have the default be NO lines with an easily selected option to use lines if desired? Seems like it'd be a sought after option.

Hi All,

Long time user of TB. Have worked with a number of signatures over the years. I occasionally have the below problem. This time it has become quite frustrating.

I have pictures in my email signature.

I have recently moved folders for all of my data. I get it. I need to update the path information for the HTML (built in MS Word) file. I have done that.

The signature is there... the images are not. The borders around the images are there, the images are not.

I do not know what is blocking the images from coming through.

I have the same issure on another computer that I use. Though I have never been abale to ge the pictures to load on that system. Borders only.

Image below with borders, no images

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

How to create a custom email header in Thunderbird 115.4.1

Google is implementing new requirements for mail sent to Gmail account holders. Among other things, bulk mailers have to include certain new header information in emails that reference that the sender has implemented one-click unsubscribe.

Because I send out a newsletter to 40,000 subscribers using a separate mailing program, I have customized the headers there easily. But since I also send personal and/or single emails from Thunderbird using the same domain, I want to add a custom header so any individual emails from Thunderbird will also have the new header info and not be automatically deleted by Google/Gmail.

How can I add a customized header to emails I send from Thunderbird 115.4.1 to comply with Google's new requirements?

The lines I have to add are like this:

List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:<MYNAME@MYDOMAIN.COM?subject=Unsubscribe&body=remove <a href="/en-US/kb/new?title=-Email-" class="new" title="Page does not exist.">-Email-

Thanks, Edgar

Hello fine people, forgive me im a noob, first day kn thunderbird... I would like all of my email to show together from both of my Gmail accounts. In Gmail it available as "all mailboxes"

I see that when I search it searches all accounts, that's super cant do that on Gmail but I just cant figure out how to combine my inboxes so scanning the days mail is more easy the way I like it

Hi An association creates an event in ProtonCalendar and designs me as a participant. So I received an invitation, nice. Reading the message I have a button "Accept" in which there is a "Send a response to the author". When I click on that button, the event is correctly added to my personal calendar and it is said that a response has been sent. But, the response is not in my "Sent" directory and the association never receive the response. What am I missing ? Is there a way to get that working?

Thanks in advance

Importing 1200 Emails from mbox File to Gmail via Import/Export Tools NG Only Imports 39 Emails

Hello,

I'm facing an issue with the Import/Export Tools NG add-on in Thunderbird, and I'm hoping to find some guidance or a solution here. I have an mbox file with approximately 1200 emails that I need to import into my Gmail account. I've been following the process of importing the mbox file into a local folder on my Mac and then moving that folder to my Gmail account within Thunderbird. However, I'm consistently running into a problem where only 39 of those emails get imported into Gmail, no matter how many times I attempt the process.

Here are the steps I've followed based on instructions I found online: 1. I used the Import/Export Tools NG to import the mbox file into a local folder within Thunderbird. 2. After the import appears successful, with all emails visible in the local folder, I then drag and drop that folder into my Gmail account within Thunderbird. 3. The process begins, but only 39 emails are transferred to the Gmail folder. The rest seem to be ignored or fail to import.

Some additional information that might be helpful: - I'm using Thunderbird on a Mac. - The mbox file contains about 1200 emails. - I've tried repeating the process multiple times, always with the same result of only 39 emails being imported. - There don't seem to be any error messages; the process just stops after 39 emails.

I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed and would greatly appreciate any advice, insights, or solutions you might have. Could this issue be related to the size of the mbox file, a limitation within Gmail, or perhaps something I'm missing in the Import/Export process? Any help or guidance would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
