Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi, I've had this problem two other times with various upgrades, where my setting no longer works. I need horizontal lines between message headers in all folders. My eyes need the lines to be able to scan across and not get lost. I am using TB v115.3.3 on Windows 11 Home.

Here is an old version of my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1277758

Here is the full content of my userChrome.css file that is located here: C:\Users\Victoria\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hid4pw25.default\chrome

/* Add bottom border to thread pane (message list) */

 border-bottom: 1px solid grey !important;

}

Thank you for any help.

I was exploring this new 115 of Thunderbird and ended up wiping the message viewer off the screen.

To start with, I have my TBird 115 as it came "out of the box." Three columns, Inbox folder tree on the left, Cards List in the center, and message pane in the right side.

I messed everything up when I widened the Cards list to the right edge of the window, where the <---> arrowhead disappeared and all there is to the right side is the window resize arrow from my Linux system and that awful slim Jim scroll bar.

I recovered my message pane using F8 key; it is below my short list of email in the Cards View. See the attached screenshot.

I would like to return things back to as they were with the three columns as described above. I forgot, too, where I turned on Classic View. There is a checked box in Settings somewhere. Or is it a menu? I need some help, please.

May I suggest a limit somewhere short of the right-side edge of the window and short of the scroll bar to only widen the message pane "so far," such that one can recover from pushing it that far, using the same means to return it with the double arrow.

Hi,

I have got latest Thunderbird installed with Mail Merge Version 10.4.0 on a Mac. When I try to send a mailmerged email from a CSV (Used automatic or comma separated setting), it throws an error saying "Unsupported Zip file" and gives me links to the Home Page and the Change Log file.

When I accept the error message, it allows me to go into the final mail sending window. However, when clicked the "Start" button, no mail is sent.

Mail merge works without any issue on Windows PC. The issue is with the MAC.

Any help in getting this issue sorted is much appreciated.

When i am typing a text in thunderbird and then pressing the return key, the cursor springs always in the next paragrph ( 2 lines under ), but i want it only to go to the next line. When i choose text it always changes by pressing the return key to paragraph. How can i change this ungraceful habit of thunderbird?

I have Thunderbird set up on PC and a Laptop. On the PC I have version 115.9 installed and the Laptop (which is a more recent purchase) version 115.10.

On the PC I can easily sort by "date", "correspondent", etc as there are click buttons at the top of each column but these do not appear in version 115.10.

I have looked at all the view menu options and cannot see that anything will help to change this. Was this functionality removed in the upgrade or is there a way to alter the view settings? The screen shot is from the Laptop.

TIA

I have recently started to use Thunderbird Mail. It is connected to my gmail account. I noticed that Thunderbird doesn't place into its Trash any mail that I have already trashed in my gmail account, and vice versa. I would like to synchronize trashing.

For years when I compose an email, my address book appeared on the left column.

Somehow today it disappeared. How can I get it back to the above location when composing an email?

How do I adjust the spacing so that the squares show in full on the side? I tried grabbing the darker gray bar, but that doesn't work.

So what have they changed it to? Cause that is irritating.

Thank you.

I contribute monthly to Thunderbird, is there any way to disable the default page asking for donations?

Instead, you could just have a page that says thanks for a contribution (and a link to the page for managing it).

Or, I guess is there some way to edit that default page when launching Thunderbird?

Having issue with the signature staying in Thunderbird.

Some online help articles say there's an OK button to hit after pasting a signature in the box. I do not see one. On the latest version 115.6.1

Also I checked use HTML. Works fine when I go to sent an email right after doing this. However, after closing Thunderbird, it reverts back to an old signature.

Any ideas?

I use TB 13, believe it or not. Why? B/c I despise change -- it's streamlined, efficient, perfect. Now the pure evil known as Gmail is blocking me from downloading my messages. I hear I need to upgrade to at least TB 68 to use OAuth and surmount this problem. When I got my new comp I tried to get the new TB but it seemed so unorganized/complicated and as if it didn't function like TB13 -- the absolutely crucial and most important key function being: No need to be online to do anything. I can write a new message, save it, send it later. I can download messages when I feel like it. Read them offline. Reply to them offline. Connect when I want to and send the messages. Is this still possible with TB 68+? Create folders, again offline. I do not want to depend on being online for absolutely anything, except to send and receive messages. Can someone tell me if this is still possible using new versions of TB?

When I try to create a filter there is no "OK" button, so obviously filter can't be created. I tried the command % sudo rm ~Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/vwybotat.default % session.json Got the response zsh: no such user or named directory: Library

This question was asked here and the answer worked for some years, but no longer does.

The method was pretty simple, just change browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground from the default FALSE to TRUE.

An update in the last few months (not sure which) broke this. So, what is the new way of doing this?

Hi, I have cancelled automatic updates for add-ons. When I choose check for update TB does nothing despite the fact that there was a new version of Card book, for which I proceeded manually. Any Help???

I don't use Windows Mail and have Thunderbird as my default email. However, when on a website using Firefox, and click on a "contact us" link to activate an email message to the website folks, a Windows Mail composition window opens instead of a Thunderbird composition window. I have to copy the email address out of the Windows Mail "To" field and paste into the Thunderbird "To" field.

How do I configure things such that clicking on a web link to open and start an email to said website results in that occurring in Thunderbird and not Windows Mail?

I'm on Win11 with latest Thunderbird as default email app and use latest Firefox browser.

Thanks! Eric
