Thunderbird Community Forum

I have been using this system since 2008 through a company called Bluewave. They are shutting down at the end of May and I need full service for everything but main email. I need to talk (like on the phone) to someone who can help me in some way. I am not computer savvy so please have someone patient. I own AuPurr Cat care and don't want to lose our database, etc. info already on file. Am I contacting the right company for this help? My direct # is [edited phone# from community support forum]

I am trying to set up both firefox and thunderbird on a new very small (12 inch screen) for travel and with a windows custom magnification of 110 for disabilities. The finish set up screen in firefox and the give thunderbird access to your google accounts screen in thunderbird do not appear to be showing the whole screen with no way to get to the bottom to click the critical allow or continue buttons. Those buttons appear to not exist. I am having the same problem trying to sign out of machines replaced several years ago - I can click which ones I want to sign out but it brings up a screen asking why with no continue button so I am stuck. Help!

In Windows 11, Thunderbird 140, how do I increase the font size in new events box?

- I have tried to make the changes in Windows 11 settings (text size) and this has not helped. - I never had this problem in the past when using Windows 10.

I have "Googled" this problem and had no results.

Kind regards: Gary Shaw

My late husband's oid Mac Mini crashed during a power outage. Firefox is fine but TB says that the inbox is being used by another something and to wait to use it. I can't open it. I keep this computer active because his artworks and videos are on it. And I feel that he is still here if his computer is. You can also reach me at [edited email from community support forum]. I need to get in. Should I just restart? Or will it take more? I do get Robert's email on my iPhone and it is coming in.

A new user, I am elderly and find the script too small in the inbox message list. it is just fine in message content. Can anyone kindly tell me if there is an option to increase the type size, cant seem to find anything in settings, mind you there are so many to get through? My Outlook which I don't care for generally, shows an "easy read". Thank you David

Hello Development team, I am a long-time user of the Thunderbird e-mail client, having used it since it was Netscape Communicator. I have suffered from many upgrades that did not work well with my style of communication. However, the disappointing upgrade events using TB have been well overridden by the successful use of the overall e-mail client. Today’s topic is the latest upgrade, 140.0.1esr. The message page in dark mode shows darker links and text than it did using the add-on (Dark Mode). I have lost the ability to control text colors and the link status colors. I do not want to wander into the Config Editor to try and correct the linking status with a custom CSS entry. I have discovered the switch on the message panel to disable the “Dark Message Board”. I don’t like this method. I prefer a dark background and the ability to customize the message and link status colors while reading my messages.

I am using an old version of Firefox e-mail, and Firefox has advised me in the past to try a newer version. How can I access the newer version? Also, if I don't like it, can I easily go back to my current version? (I have Windows 11)

There's a community of people who need to be able to turn off single key shortcuts. I'm one of them because I use some speech input, and a stray word from you or an office mate when the focus is in the wrong place can cause a lot of havoc that's difficult to undo. You can also get in trouble when typing – hitting a stray "a" can archive something without you realizing it, and this has happened to me as well. A cat going across the keyboard can also cause an awful lot of havoc that's difficult to track down and reverse. If we could simply turn off single key shortcuts, that would go a long way toward solving this problem. Even better if we could remap them. There is an extension that does this but it's aimed at developers and also requires full control of your computer, which removes is as an option for more people. I think you'd make many people happy building in something simpler -- alternate keybindings for single key shortcuts, a setting to turn the single key shortcuts off, or, best yet, the ability to remap them. Thanks for listening, and thanks for a great product! Best, Kim

I can setup the Calendar event, save it and see it in my Home Calendar along with the little bell icon in the top right hand corner which tells me the Calendar is aware of the notification request. I generally add a reminder for the Calendar event but just noticed that no actual reminders are being generated.
