After the recent UP-Grade,

My Thunderbird wants to put every folder list of messages in a threaded version.

What is a default setting to STOP THAT!

I just want them displayed in a chronological way.

I know you are supposed to be able to set each folder that way, but it is hard to do and many times doesn't take or stick.

Plus I have hundreds of folders! UG!

There must be a default setting that NO THREADING. anytime, anywhere.

I like to have a dark theme (I do not wish to be dazzled by lots of bright white backgrounds).

But if I do that then the reader window is white on black, which I do no like. I prefer almost-black on light-grey. I can set this up. However, what I cannot do is set this in my Composition window without forcing those same colours onto all recipients, as the <body> tag ends up with my text="" and bgcolor="" tags on it.

If I set "Use reader's default colours" then I end up with the default colours from the reader (white on black) not what I have set (although this does remove the text and bgcolor tags).

So the problem I have is can either set the default colours in my Composition windows to what I am comfortable with or I can set them such that recipients can view them as they wish. But I cannot do both.

Is it possible to set the text and background colours form with a Theme? (Indeed, where is the documentation which describes what is settable within a Theme?).

Currently on TB 115.3.1 but this problem existed on 102 and earlier. My email is all Pop (and not Imap).

I made filters to put some emails into the Local Junk folder and that works fine. The only emails in the Local Junk folder are those resulting from the actions of my filters. I've checked and the junk folder is the "Junk- Local folders" and not some other junk folder that I might have created.

The Local Junk folder setting (as well as individual mail account junk settings) is to automatically delete emails after 21 days. But nothing ever gets deleted and I have to delete manually.

Is there some master setting that I've missed somewhere?

The new updates are horrible

I've been using TBird for a very long time and am thinking of leaving.

Fonts are now tiny. Can't read my mail without a struggle.

Even changing font size to be bigger in settings isn't helping, even after a restart. Fonts in mail are all too small to see. I don't have any system override set either.

Are you trying to drive older / disabled people away? Feels like it.

Please give one-button option for old look.

At this point I want to revert to last version but can't find download for old version.

Can you help me fix this please, or please show me link to get last version, and turn off updating.

For future: allow in updates to keep old look even with security upgrades. (I'd love even the old icon, but I'm sure that's asking a lot.)

IF THE LOOK ISN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT. Making someone modern while tossing old users under the bus doesn't seem like your style, until today.

p.s. I'm sure other people have this problem but it's not clear how to find this forum. I first just replied to one of your tweets, but I doubt that will be read.

I'm using the 64-bit version of thunderbird and I'm unable to increase the font size of the incoming messages in my inbox. I went to settings, general, Language and Appearance and under advanced changed fonts to 24, 20 and 20 while checking off the font control boxes. None of these changes the size of the text in the body of the text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In 115.8.0 (and earlier versions), the plain text Write window text area ignores the Colors shown everywhere else. Even if I choose Edit->Settings or Tools->Settings from the Write window toolbar, and select Composition in the Settings window, I get color choices that affect all other windows, and even the Write window header line and the dropdown menus from the Write toolbar, but NOT the Write window toolbar itself, nor the content I'm composing!

The text of the content I'm writing is decently visible, but the background behind it is medium gray, and the quoted text I'm replying to is a pale green almost indistinguishable from the pale gray background. Miserable for my lousy vision...

Is there some trick to getting that text area to follow the colors seen everywhere else in Thunderbird?

Manjaro 23.0.0 Thunderbird 115.0.1

Before the update to Supernova, Thunderbird light theme used the system color for the UI elements highlight. In my case, green. Now it is blue everywhere, which irritates my eyes. I attached before and after images, so you have an idea. Can I get back the green?

Just today in Thunderbird, a new mail toolbar appears at top right just below the one I had before. I look in the View Toolbar choices, and it's not so much as an option there. The existing one at top left is listed, as Mail Toolbar (and I can uncheck it to make it disappear), and there are options for Customize (affecting the Mail Toolbar) and Menu (just above the mail toolbar). There's a quick filter option grayed out. But where did THIS come from, and how can I make it go away?

In Windows 11, on Thunderbird, the top menus can't be set up so I can manage my messages fron the menu at the top. I have attached a snip of my beloved Win 10 TB menu. I also had to state the order of the messages for each folder. Why setting the order did not apply to all folders is beyond my understanding.

Is Thunderbird 64bit in Win 11 the reason for the differences. If so, is it possible to download the 32bit version as I was perfectly happy using it on my Win 10 PC.

When I search ( Ctrl+K ), the result is always threaded by default.

I prefer to view as unthreaded So every time, I need to go to View Menu > sort by > and select "unthreaded"

Is there a way to set my preference for this to be my DEFAULT view sorting?
