This is my wife's email account which she uses and which also shows up on my computer. I don't want to download those messages but I would like to delete most of them. Just seeing the subject line would be enough for me to know which to delete but it appears that I can't do that without downloading all 18000 messages! Can't do that! Suggestions?

Formatting text in Thunderbird

I have moved to Thunderbird (latest update to version 115.4.1). In my old mailprogram, when using HTML, I could compose texts from different sources, then format the text altogether, regardless where they came from and the text appeared as intended at the recipient. In Thunderbird I never really succeeded with that. When I compose text from different sources in a mail, I find no way to assign the same font size to it, not to speak about font type. When I check by sending mails to myself, the texts appear in different sizes, whatever I do. A solution at the moment is to compose the mail in a Word processor, format it there and then copy & paste it to the Thunderbird mail window. But that can hardly be the only way.... Is there any way to format mail when the content consists of texts from different sources?

I've been upgraded to 115, like it or not, and now my list of visible email titles will only shorten to 10 emails instead of the previous 4, which leaves very little room to view an opened email. IOW, the double arrow will only let me raise the bottom boundary to be below a list of 10 emails. How can I shorten it back to 4??

I got Thunderbird to better manage my vast number of emails and frankly delete the big ones, as my webmail provider had stopped including a "sort by size" function (just as attachments seem to be getting bigger and bigger) and someone recommended Thunderbird. However, when I go to "View-Sort by", size is not able to be selected. I see someone asked this question or something similar recently and the solution says "If the Size column is enabled (right-click any column button to enable columns) , the message (including attachments) size is shown as in the 1st attached picture. Sort by size by clicking the Size column button. To show only messages with attachments, click the paper clip icon on the Quick Filter Bar."" But I have no idea what this means, how the heck do I get columns enabled, and how do I then get a size column? I would love to have columns in general. But all I see if filters at the top of my inbox and attachments is there but I am not able to rank them by size.

On Windows 10 I'm using Thunderbird with a Juno email account (POP.Juno.com). I want to delete messages in Thunderbird without deleting them on Juno server.

I have checked "Leave on Server" but I think that applies to downloading messages to Thunderbird.

Also, it seems that we can delete messages on Juno, but that does not delete them on Thunderbird Thanks

When I send an email to a mailing list, using a gmail address as sender, Thunderbird does not download a copy of that email. This was NOT the case when I used non-gmail addresses. This is highly inconvenient because my participation in a thread is not shown, other than that which is quoted by a respondent. Those emails are present and being shown in my gmail webmail site.

This problem is present in two different accounts. All of my gmail accounts are configured as Imap.

Resolving this would be very nice. Thanks

There is an email account profile on my Thunderbird email program and I simply cannot get rid of it. I have tried everything including running the program as an administrator and nothing works. None of the instructions to remove an email account anywhere on this forum works. When I go into the account settings, there absolutely no selection for me to remove a particular email account/profile from Thunderbird. I have removed Thunderbird, wiped out all traces and profiles for Thunderbird, reinstalled Thunderbird and this particular account keeps coming back. I bought a new computer, installed Thunderbird on that, and this particular email account suddenly appears on the new installation on a new computer. I can't get rid of it. I brought both computers to a technician and they scanned for viruses, trojans, etc., etc., etc., and there is nothing there, but this email address account keeps coming back on any computer I have installed Thunderbird, including new computers that are new out of the box. The email account I want to remove is clogged with spam and tying up my internet connection and the ISP (Charter Communications) will not help me by eliminating this particular email account. I have followed multiple instructions I have found on this forum about how to remove an unwanted email account from Thunderbird and not a single one works because the selection to do this does not exist in Thunderbird. All I get is asked for a password for the email address that the ISP says doesn't exist, but it is being flooded with hundreds of thousands of emails that get sent to this email address in my Thunderbird program. Every time I run Thunderbird, it locks into this particular account and downloads emails until my hard drive is full and crashes. Is there a way to get rid of this email account on Thunderbird or do I just remove the whole program from my computer and use something else?
