Thunderbird Support Forum

I would like to change the font size of the entries in my Messages pane. Changing it with View>Font Size changes everything, and this uses way too much space in the Folder and Message Detail panes. If you compare the defaults prior to the latest update to what 115.4.1 has you will see what I mean. Tried to find something in ConfigEditor but didn't see anything. Thanks

Can you set up an email address to receive only/block sending from it? I have two addresses defined in Thunderbird and if I don't check, it occasionally picks up the one I don't want to send from.

I used to be able to see the number/count of new messages and old messages in all of my message folders. There seems to have been an update, and all of my numbers are missing. Can you tell me how to fix this please.

Supernova 115 - I prefer the Quick Filter Search box (Ctrl+Shift+K) than the Global Search box (Ctrl+K) because it is easy to find messages.

Can anyone help to replace the Global Search box (Ctrl+K) by Quick Filter Search box (Ctrl+Shift+K) on mail Toolbar.

Thank you.

Windows 10 Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64 bit) Following the recent update, the Write icon has vanished. I can see it in Customise -Toolbars but can't do anything about it. I know there is a keyboard shortcut to get this done but I want my icon back please! Many thanks Howard

Hi support, please I would like to know the recipient limits while sending a html bulk mail using thunderbird to prevent my SMTP from being banned. And I will appreciate a quick response.

Thanks.

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and really like it - until two recent updates (sorry!). I am running Ubuntu 22.04, and Thunderbird 115.4.1. One now has a column taken on the left which is unnecessary, and a section at the top which is above the menus with e.g. File... but I would like my File menu at the top, as it used to be. The second issue is more frustrating - the search facility, where one can find the emails being sought, allows me to search by many options, and I was able to display the results sorted by subject, size or my normal was by date, but I never use the message threads as that is rarely of interest, and I can sort on that using the message subject if needed. Now, when I search the results are ONLY in the message threads, and if I try to sort by date, I lose all information, and the ONLY option is to see the messages by thread which is no use to me! How can I restore good old Thunderbird - the version I enjoy using (or have the functionality I had restored)?! Many thanks,

I would like to change the density for the messages list (thread row) and provide a custom value there. e.g. 40px;

In many places, people are showing a solution such as:

``` tr[is="thread-row"] {

   height: 40px !important;

} ```

But it doesn't work properly. When there are a lot of messages and you start scrolling, then the scroll stops working properly, you can't select messages, the whole thing goes crazy. This is the case on Windows, perhaps on Linux there is not this problem (I do not know).

I tried to use `line-height` instead of `height`, unfortunately the problem still occurs.

I see that I am not the only one who has this problem: - https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/15conez/comment/k0gi9tl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1423577#answer-1608118

Do you know the correct way to change this value?

Using Gmail Account we have the a) Inbox and b) All Mail.

If any unread email it shows the number of unread emails next to the inbox but NOT next to in All mail. In Thunderbird it shows the number of unread message next to Inbox and All email.

how can we replicate so it behaves like Gmail - so it does not show the unread message next to All Mail

My Vision is getting worse and I can't read small print any more. I need detailed instructions that someone who can see the fine print can use to help me make the font bigger. I just wish it was as easy as it was in my browser..

Thanks.

When I navigate to the hamburger menu->View I see only Toolbars, Layout, and Folders - no Sort by option. I dislike the threaded view and would like to eliminate it. What should I do? (Version 115.4.2 64 bit)

When I'm sending mails through gmail - they are sent as seen. When I'm sending mails through Thunderbird - it's changing them after I click send. If I want my line to be broken - I'll break it myself. I don't want my emails to be narrow as Italian streets. Especially not silently in background, and I get to know this when someone replies with quote or I check sent mails manually.

There are guides for previous thunderbird versions, but not for Supernova.

Hi there!

How can I see the full mail adress in my list of received emails (instead of just a name)? It's kind of a security issue, since everybody can just pick any name. My friend Robert can send me a mail showing his name is PayPal. It's an open door to scammers and deception!

It seems like there were add-ons in the past "Show Adress Only" or "Full Adress Column" but they're not supported by new Thunderbird versions.

How come an add-on is needed to show such a simple and already received information? There are so many things that can be displayed but this important one seems missing. I would feel much better if I could see the real mail adress for any mail received without having to click on it. Thunderbird would feel more professional.

Are there any other supported add-ons to enable it? Why doesn't Mozilla add this function?

Best regards

Can't sort emails by date - Setting selections frozen on "Subject" under "Sort By" (115.4.2) Only affects one email account, but not another. Only recourse is to sort by "unread" to get new emails - otherwise old subject emails display in the inbox.

Please tell me how to remove the notice of new emails that comes onto my computer when I'm working with a different program. It's very distracting and annoying. Thanks.

I have set up several folders and subfolders, with auto filtering in my Thunderbird. When a new mail goes to a subfolder that is nested in two or more folders, the display for new message on the side does not appear. For Example: "Grantparent Folder" (1 new mail)

     |-> "Parent Folder" (doesnt display the new mail is here)
            |-> "Child Folder" (displays there is a mail here after i open up the Parent folder)

This is a problem because there a several Parent folders and I have to open up each one of the in order to find in which Child Folder the mail went to.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Running Thunderbird 115.4.3 (64-bit). I can't locate the setup and settings for my printer(s); that is, I cannot select the printer, specify single- or double-sided printing, print quality, etc. Under the Config Editor, I can see more than a dozen settings for my default HP Inkjet printer, but Thunderbird must have set all this up for me; I have no idea what most of the listings pertain to, and no other printer, like my PDF printer, show up there. I'm used to a Print Preview screen where the printer and its parameters can be set, but when I do a Ctrl+P, Thunderbird takes off and starts printing immediately on the default HP printer. Can someone give me a clue? Thanks.

See the subject. I just set up new contacts and want to show only their name as recipient of emails. However, when I do a test email, the recipient's email address continues to show up with their name when sent. This really sucks. Why won't it accept my settings?
