I typically use the "Favorite Folders" mode when viewing my email folder structure. I also use the "Compact View".

Today I've noticed that each folder name has the text " - Local Folders" appended to it. This is NOT visually helpful, quite the opposite.

I've also noticed that the appended text does not appear when I turn off "Compact View". But turning off Compact View has its own visual issues.

Is there any way I can get back to using Compact View on Favorite Folders, without the " - Local Folders" text appended to each folder name?

Thank you.

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 have 3 email accounts linked with Thunderbird on my computer that I have had linked for many years. 2 are different names @ 1 address and the 3rd is a different address. All email addresses are with the same company - JustHost.

The 3rd works fine - can send and receive.

The first 2 can send but not receive.

Any ideas why 2 are not working but the 3rd is?

Thanks!

Since updating to 115.3.1 I have been getting smtp time outs on forwarding email. I am now at 115.4.1 and still have the problem I can send emails one at a time but when a bunch of emails come in and I forward many to kids and wife I get these time out messages.

I can't tell which message is timing out and I have checked my smtp outgoing server settings. I have followed the tips I find on this site and others and nothing seems to work.
