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.

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?

(Running TB v102.4.2 on LM 20.4)

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 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

Today unfortunately the new Thunderbird supernova upgrade was pushed. The UI is horrible, the text is smaller, lines all crunched together.. and after starting the Supernova version, it seems thunderbird changed my profile, so i cannot go back to using the previous versions which were so much better..

Anyhow, the worst of tall, and I imagine this is an actual BUG/Issue: in Unified View, the inbox group does NOT CONTAIN ALL my email inboxes!?? Only about half of them. The others appear in the Sent group

wtf..!?

Using Thunderbird 115.5.0 on a Mac. I started using Thunderbird around 3 weeks ago.

I added several of my accounts. On some accounts, it shows folders that I have deleted months or years ago. They were not visible in Outlook or on the web interface. Now they are visible in Thunderbird.

These folders are shown in italics and greyed out. I cannot delete them in Thunderbird or interact with them in any useful way. They are just annoying. Any way to get them removed? Or at least hidden?

Thanks

I have a saved query folder that I use to view the contents of three folders, each in their own IMAP account. When I select this folder, the queries don't run -- I have to go into each individual folder first to initiate another check before this folder populates.

Can someone explain how this works? Perhaps I need to subscribe to the IMAP folders to keep them actively checked/updated? I would expect that when I enter into the stored query that it would perform that query and those folders would be checked.

Thanks.
