Thunderbird Support Forum

I have all my accounts set to send only text/plain messages. But in the message composer, an entire toolbar row (disabled until editor has focus) appears at the head. It should go away, not appear, be hidden.

What would you do if I formatted the message since the account setting is "always plain text?" Unknown.

Also, an entire toolbar line is devoted to presenting "Variables" and "Other" dropdowns. Just two buttons, both of which I will not use in my lifetime.

Removing these spurious items will make the UI more legible, less distracting, professional.

Thanks for the great products. Been using since v 1.0, along side Mosaic, Netscape, and FF.

Hi! Love Thunderbird to bits, and the new updated interface is sooooooooo nice! Thank you ALL!

But I can not seem to find a way to go to the Start Page, other than restarting Thunderbird.

The Go Menu mentioned in the article below is not there anymore. And I can not find a Home button when customizing the toolbars.

Is this a me problem, or something that will be added as we go along?

After reinstalling Thunderbird while trying to get OAuth2 working my saved messages since 2021 were missing. Plenty of directories with those old messsages. Found one with MBOX files with more recent dates and moved those to my new installation. That worked but they did not include all the subdirectories of the MBOX file folders.

Any likely place to find them?

(I've looked at old support threads here but can't find this particular solution even in the one labeled missing subfolders.)

Thanks.

Hi ,

thanks

I cant send emails. Every time a pop up pops up with an error message that says "this account is locked out because of abusive behavior" and I get it on all my emails! Please help. I receive just fine but when I reply this error pops up. It has never happened before. So any help will be appreciated. :)

I very frequently move mail from inbox to a storage folder using: Right-Click, Move to "previous folder name" Again

I do this so frequently that I want to do it with a keystroke if at all possible. I installed "TBKEYS-LITE" but I can't find any docs to help me figure out how to write this mouse cmd into a keystroke.

TIA

When you start typing a name or email address TB throws up a list of options matching the letters you have typed. For example, I start typing nancy and I get all the nancy's in my address book. See jpg. The nancy I usually want is listed 2nd, Garcia. I almost never write to Wojcik, but she is first and it does not make sense. By any alpha or numeric order I can think of using her name or address, she should follow Garcia. What determines the order in which they are presented and can I change that order?

I do realize that if I think to start typing the last name in the address box than I will get a list in which Nancy Garcia comes up first. But I have everything ordered by first name and usually am thinking of that.

This is not a big issue, but just wondering.

Thank you.

I tried to move my emails from the Webmail 7.0 app, but all that came were my inbox emails. How do I get my "sent" emails—and emails in other folders—to Thunderbird?

I'm trying to get my google account working in thunderbird, but when i try to log in i would need to use my yubikey when I put it on and try to use it, it says "Chrome extention not found" there is a link to install it, but this link is a 404.

I'm on osx 13.4.1 and thunderbird version is 15.0.1 (64-bit)

Greetings,

New incoming message alerts show up in the Win-10’s notification area, as usual, & as expected. But clicking on the message notification clears the message from the notification area instead of opening the message in Thunderbird (as it used to), ever since updating to v115.0.1 (64-bit).

Thanks, Greg

For the release version of TB 115.0

The quickfilter is broken is a particular manner:

   some characters can be entered in the quickfilter-box.
   other characters (i.e. 'r', 'o'  the reply-shortcut key?) fail to be inserted/loses focus, and instead the reply- or open-message-action is initiated for the selected message.

I have not tested this extensively, but the issue shows up on my Win10 32-bit system

I have posted up to yesterday requests for help with Thunderbird to both mail.gmail.com and to Thunderbird. Part was solved by gmail but they said that for slowness to contact Thunderbird. I got a notice things were solved and this morning both the pop.gmail.com (downloading posts with Thunderbird) and the smtp.gmail.com (sending posts with Thunderbird) were fast as usual - few seconds. I sent about 35 posts and only the first took two second. This evening the sending posts from my Thunder bird (of the desktop computers - 10 posts during an hour) take about two minutes. Sending from the smartphone take a second.

When Cardbook is enabled, the search (CTRL+K) lists results, but when I click on any individual search result there is just a blank tab. It works fine if Cardbook is disabled.
