Thunderbird Support Forum

Up until I upgraded to the beta circuit today, I was using TB V102.<something>

I use a third-party desktop configuration program called WindowBlinds to set system colors and themes; it has always been able to set colors in Thunderbird with no issue... until I installed this beta version... Now, I simply get black text on bright white background, regardless of WindowBlinds theme.

So I tried falling back on using Thunderbird settings... in Settings-> General -> Fonts & Colors, I have tried all combinations that I could think of, but *none* of them affect the Local Folders Folders and Messages display colors.

Specifically, I have: > Enabled "Allow messages to use other fonts" > Under Colors window, have both set and cleared "Use system colors" If I SET "Use system colors", then all of the Settings tabs use the WindowBlinds colors, but neither Local Folders nor Calendar use them. If I CLEAR "Use system colors", then all of the Settings tabs use the fgnd/bgnd colors that I specify in the Colors dialog.

I *really* want *all* of the windows to use my system colors, which were set by WindowBlinds... that's how it all worked before... that bright-white background on the message panes is Ghastly!!! I cannot bear to look at it...

I've searched everywhere and can't figure out how to change the default sort order for messages in my inbox and other folders. From Oldest to Newest is counterintuitive for me and I'm sure there is a place to change this...I just can't locate it. Thanks for any help.

The browse button does not work for me. It does nothing when clicking it

I have only just installed Thunderbird, so I'm not sure a reinstall would help

Currently in the box it says: file:///media/randomguy400/44754/Sounds/message.wav

I'm not sure why it has this path. The actual path to the file it is referring to is actually in E:\\Sounds (also the hard drive is named "44754"). Not sure why the path is like this. I'm unable to change the path without using the Browse button.

I'm on Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit) My PC is Windows 10 Pro 22H2

I have the same issue as this year-old, unanswered thread: [wrap sent message view?]

What I want: I want all my sent e-mail messaged to by default be written and formatted as:

• Plain text
• Fixed width
• Automatically line break/word wrap (unsure of the correct eng. term), at 72 characters
• I also want to SEE the 72-character line break/inline WHILE I COMPOSE the message, no matter the size of my e-mail composing window (I have a large monitor)

What I have done:

• Found the mailnews.wraplength setting in config editor, and set it to 72 (it was already on 72)
• Set Composition to: Font: Fixed width, Sending format: Only Plain Text

The issue:

• When creating a new email, the "font" setting i Fixed width
• When pasting/replying to that same e-mail, everything goes to variable width, calibri, other formatting
• In any case, the TEXT DOES NOT WORD WRAP/LINE BREAK AT 72 CHARACTERS

I have also tried troubleshooting mode.

PLEASE help.

If I get an email from anyone, I get it in my gmail and Thunderbird. Just what I want. If I send an email from my gmail account, I get a copy in TB inbox. If I send an email in TB, I get a copy in my gmail all mail folder. this also does the same if I use the reply option in gmail or TB.

I have "allow remote content" enabled yet these warnings still appear. All of the emails in my work inbox are from a trusted source, therefor these warnings do not serve any purpose and are more annoying than beneficial. For some reason I can't use the element inspector in developer tools on this window but if I could hide the warning with a userchrome.css file that would also be nice too. I have tried that but it didn't seem to do anything. Here is what I did.

1. mail-notification-top{

display: none; }

I also have toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets set to true (not sure why this isn't the default setting to avoid confusion)

I have several email addresses, some are POP and others are IMAP. On one of my IMAP accounts, I have Junk, Known Spam, Sent Spam, Suspect Email and Virus Blocker folders, along with the usual Inbox, Drafts,Sent and Trash folders. I'd like to remove the Sent Spam and Known Spam folders but can't find a way to do so as Thunderbird won't allow it. I can delete subfolders I've created, but not these. Help anyone?

When I go to FILTER messages <CNTL+SHIFT+K> and it finds the message I am seeking, I'd like to be able to STOP the process and go straight to the desired message. But TB will not let me stop the filter process early. Can this be done some way I am unaware of, or , if not, be considered for an update. thank you.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I am currently facing an issue with installing the Owl for Exchange addon on Thunderbird for Windows. I have successfully installed it on Linux, but unfortunately, I'm unable to replicate the process on my Windows machine.

The purpose of installing this addon is to synchronize my institutional Outlook account with Thunderbird. Despite following the installation steps carefully, the addon doesn't seem to work properly, in fact doesn't appear as an option when I try to add an account. I've tried reinstalling Thunderbird and the addon multiple times, but with no success.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem or has any idea why this might be happening specifically on Windows. Are there any additional configurations or dependencies required for the addon to work on Windows? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,

I must have done something wrong with Thunderbird but I can't see what.

Most of the messages I receive look like this one. ( Please take a look at the image. )

And that is with all 10 accounts.

How do I reset THUNDERBIRD 102.11.0 (64 bits) ?

Thanks.

Currently opening the Address Book always creates a new tab in an existing window. At times, it would be much nicer to have it open as a separate window, visible at the same time as the mailboxes. Is there any way to achieve this?

As per the subject line, how can I globally, meaning all mailboxes managed by my Thunderbird client, turn off grouping of messages and their replies? I have only found an option that turns this off after I've read the mail.

Thanks, Nap

Linux Mint MATE 21.1 TB v 102.11.0 Looking for a way to have Thunderbird startup with it's window at particular screen location and size. Currently it has a fixed location and size every time I start it up. I have found no settings that allows me the change it. I could also settle with it remembering it's current settings at shutdown like Firefox does.

I want to offer a problem and solution. This information could be added to the help topic that includes the paragraph "What if I want to see my ignored threads?"

Problem: I accidentally ignored a subthread. How can I reverse that setting? Context: Thunderbird Version 102.11.2, Windows 10.

Solution: I right-clicked on the message in the message list pane. Although “ignore subthread” was not checked, I clicked it anyway. This toggled the setting to off. The information message bar disappeared and the symbol in column “Thread” reverted to normal.

Note: the tentative solution I picked up from the existing help topic did not work. I set View – Threads – I checked All and Ignored Threads. This changed nothing.

Please tell me how to remove "all Addresses" from the 3 folders in my Thunderbird address book. Personal and collected are more than sufficient. Thank you very much for your help.

I have just read that TB's policy is to delete messages in the trash after a certain amount of time.

I'm not sure what policy they follow for this, as the Activity Manager says "Deleted 1 message fom Trash", but does not let you know what msge was deleted. When I look at my trash, I can see I have things from YEARS ago, so I'm wondering what they follow to have things deleted.

However, in the end, I don't really like that TB deletes things even in my trash. I get this is to save space, but I personally do not care about space, and I use my emails like a database where I have saved myself from looking back into my trash and remembering something I failed to do for instance. Or even something I accidentally deleted and found it again.

Anyway, The fact that there is a setting in Account Settings -> Synchronization & Storage -> Do not delete any messages and TB still deletes the trash it its own discretion sucks.

I love TB and want to use it forever. Is there a place I can voice this to them and ask they provide an options to not deleted anything on any folders. Or maybe prompt to delete something first, show us what that email is.

I get I can create another folder, but I'm much happier just hitting the delete button, but know that this email will linger somewhere in another folder...

Thanks for reading

My question is in the subject line. "Will the new Supernova interface and Thunderbird redesign cause problems with or disable old extensions?"

It's very frustrating to have to spend hours finding extension replacements when the old ones no longer work. The last time a TB update changed things like this, I had to waste a lot of time doing this. I had to hold off on updating TB for weeks in fact, because doing so would have disabled so many critical extensions that I was using. Eventually, I was able to find replacement extensions (usually having to embrace feature degradation though) and in other cases simply had to give up conveniences that I had grown to take for granted.

I don't welcome the prospect of having to do this kind of thing all over again.

When I used to click on a link in a Thunderbird email, it used to open in a new tab alongside already opened tabs (in Safari v 15.6.1). Now they open in a new window, which is a pain. I have tried googling the issue but am getting nowhere. Can anyone help? I use a MacBook Pro 9.2 (mid 2012), v 10.15.7, with Thunderbird v 102.11.1 (soon to be updated to 102.11.2). Many thanks.

Hello,

When I receive new IMAP emails, Thunderbird a loads the header of the email automatically and can tell me that a new email has arrived.

Unfortunately when I click into each email I have to wait for each one to load when loading for the first time. How can I set Thunderbird so that all new and existing emails are already preloaded in the background such that when I tap into the email it is already loaded?
