Used Thunderbird for years. No issues. Following upgrade to current version:

1. Usually opens multiple email tabs 2. Most current email is not visible. Drops below bottom line. Must scroll to see it. 3. If you delete the highlighted email, the next email is highlighted so light you can barely see it. 4. Often jumps to othe emails.

Ver 115.4.1

Older version was rock solid. Not sure if these are "features" or problems.

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. We run two separate mailboxes and always sort by date with most recent at the bottom. It seems that whenever we switch from one mailbox to the other, the focus seems to jump to somewhere in the middle of the message library, rather than the 'bottom'/newest message. We scroll to the bottom, and then switch back again to the other mailbox and find our focus again somewhere in the middle...

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. Somehow 'threading' keeps getting activated randomly. It is not being manually activated since the 'View' setting is not even normally displayed. We have to keep looking for the setting to turn it off as it is a feature that we do not like to use.

I use multiple folders and subfolders in TB. Since the major update a month ago things have gone strange. 115.3.1 (64-bit) on Mint Linux.

Repeatedly a top level folder (in this case "Writing_2023") will be bolded, showing that there are unread messages.

When I click the folder, there will be no sign of an unread message in any of the lower level folders. They are not bolded.

None of the subfolders contain an unread message. Restarting TB makes no difference. My Android phone (using Fairmail) does not exhibit this problem.

Images below.

Thanks folks. Barry

Hello,

I have used Thunderbird for my Virgin Media email account for many years ago, always easily and happily.

However, as of the past few days Thunderbird will no longer send emails via that account. Receiving is fine, but it won't send. The email account itself is fine. I can send messages via webmail. I've checked the passwords and even reset the app password and entered a new one, but nothing seems to work.

Does anybody have any suggestions, please? I am running the latest update of Thunderbird in Windows 11.

Many thanks, Paul

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

Since the big update I cannot read my messages in the message window without scrolling as I read each line. The message window is so small that I can only see about four lines of text at a time. I can't get the messages to open in a new window unless I click on them and choose "open in new window" even after setting them to open in a new window on their own.

The last update fixed the font on everything from being too big in spite of settings so now I can read a little more at a time. It's still very frustrating having to scroll constantly.
