Thunderbird Support Forum

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 just upgraded to 115 and now Thunderbird is not usable any more. I have a HiDPI 4K screen, KDE Plasma and Wayland. Everything in Thunderbird is HUGE! It cannot be used. All other apps, including Firefox scales right, without issues. What can I do?

Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.4.3-arch1-2 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15,3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Product Name: XPS 13 7390

Thunderbird: Folder with 119 message, need to send all 119 messages to an e-mail from Local box called "Fraudfiles". I can not see any way to do this in Thunderbird e-mail.

I am looking forward to have version 115 but flatpak package is not updated to version 115 instead, it shows old version 102.13.0.

When will the flatpak version will receive the latest release?

Please let me know.

Regards!

My wife shares my computer with her own account and email address in Thunderbird. When she sends me an email, my name instead of hers is listed as the Correspondent. Can that be changed to her own name?

Hello!

I am trying to install Thunderbird on my Lenovo chromebook and I am running into a issue of the file not opening. I downloaded Firefox through my chromebook's Linux software but I do not know the steps to repeat for Thunderbird. I'd greatly appreciate a walk along since I'm not great with Linux and its terminal.

Thank you in advance, Mario

I have performed many searchers on the Internet and on this website to locate where the message filters are kept on FF v.98. If I go under the hamburger menu there is no "Tools" entry only "more Tools." If I access Tools on the MenuBar there is no Message Filter entry.

It used to be quite simplye Mozilla needs to follow the lead of smartphones who have the exact same problem with users attempting to find the controls whose locations change in every update. Their solution is a built-in search lookup app. Instead of making users "go hunt" the smartphone app allows the user to ask the app to find what they are looking for. That's why they are called "smartphones."

As for now, I need to know if my version of FF has bugs or if not how to I modify my message filters?

Thanks
