Thunderbird Support Forum

Dear all,

The folder pane, message list pane, and message pane are separated by lines 1 pixel wide. Is there a way to make the lines thicker, perhaps editing the chrome/userChrome.css file?

Thanks in advance!

The new software update bunches related emails together and shows them as one (with a > next to it). For example, the original message and three responses take up one line in the message Inbox. How can I untangle it so each message would show up as one line and not be bunched any more (like the old days!)

Thank you kindly.

When I compose an email, I can change my text colour. However, as a test I send to myself, and the text arrives in the in box in black font only. I have received emails from others,where they have indicated for example, see green notes. However there is no green text? So it looks like when I receive any emails, that have any colour included in the text, I only see all text in black?

Thunderbird used to show an icon "send new mail" but the icon has disappeared and I cannot figure out how to get it back. Help!

the help installed on thunderbird on my computer did not lead me to a solution.

Hello,

how do I set up an outgoing mail filter in Thunderbird that is applied before the email is actually sent?

I'm using this to automatically add (varying) Cc/Bcc recipients to the email before sending, depending on the mail account used for sending and the recipient's mail address/domain, change the To address based on some condition, or switch to a different From address based e.g. on contents.

As I understand it, TB allows me to apply filters automatically on a mail only after it has already been sent, which for my use cases is too late.

Any ideas? Is there a plugin that does this?

Thanks, Christian

Cannot find how to make my list of messages appear like they do in outlook. There is a screen shot on Thunderbird home page that it appears it can be done. See attached.

This is probably quite simple but I can't figure out how (possibly not familiar with the correct terminology)

The problem is incoming emails are getting put into threads whereas I would like them to be all separate (as they always were until recently) When grouped in this way they can't be sorted into the correct sequence by date or correspondent. And that makes it difficult to trace old emails to decide whether to delete or retain them.

What I am seeking is a way to keep all emails in the Inbox separate when they are received (and similarly with sent ones in the "sent" folder) and/or A way to separate out emails which have already grouped into threads

Any help would be appreciated thanks Nick

Hello, In the latest THUNDERBIRD, I cannot sort incoming emails into unread because the program shows a cascade of the first thread to the last one, and I want to see only the last unread message from a given thread, as in the old program. how to turn it off?

In Thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit) when you have collapsed threads enabled I have seen the software indicate there are say 8 unread messages. There are no bolded messages in the message panel. If you click on the READ status column you still can not see the unread messages. The only way is to uncollapse the threads and scroll down the message pane to see the bolded messages in each thread. Why?

If the threads are collapsed how are we supposed to find unread messages?

How can I change the order of tags in Thunderbird. I want to add a new tag but when I do it's being added before the last so this changes the shortcut of my following tag while assigning to this new tag the shortcut of the previous tag.

Is there a way to just change the order of tags without messing up the tags already applied to my messages? The answers I found for this didn't work for me. Such a simple thing... At least if the new tag was added at the end of the list that would work for me but it's being added before the last. Humm...

Thanks!

Hi

In old thundebird I had unified folders view. Under Inbox I was able to see all accounts and in main inbox I was able to select which inboxes I want to see.

Now, in supernova under main inboxes I see only those accounts that are selected in main Inbox.

Is it possible to activate old view?

Thank you

TB120 A number of versions back the various buttons in the top right of message header (Reply, Forward, Archive, Junk, Delete, etc.) could be reordered in the customise menu. This allowed the placing of the most often used in a position that suited and less often required ones out of the way. Is there any chance of this being restored please?

thunderbird client website has completely changed. HELP. I tried to follow instructions to remove 'threading, but the entire layout changed. To start with the 'inbox ' view is no longer divided into columns which allowed the user to sort by sender, title, date or prioitysuch like. Further to this there are tabs all across the top which I don't want. They interefer with what I do want, i.e. tabs I have made for address book, or emails in preparation for sending. I've tried unstalling and reinstalling, but it is still this useless format. What can I do?.

We had "manually resort folders" in v102. And now, with v115 forced upon us. (This morning, when I opened Thunderbird, it was updated to v115 overnight without my knowledge. And the folders are not the way I left them nor how I want them. So I need to fix this. But the add-on no longer works. So what is Mozilla doing about this?

I just got the new "supernova" update and now I can't find the stettings to place my tabs bar at the top of the screen. The old version had the tabs right at the top, just as a browser would typically have it as well (see new and old schreenshot for comparison). But I'm just unable to configure it that way.

Can anybody please tell me how to configure thunderbird to use all that wasted space at the top sensibly?

The header below the list of emails and above the body of the selected email no longer shows the sender. Which seems really bizarre. I found under View either Headers - All or Headers - Normal. Headers - All gives it all plus the kitchen sink, twenty or thirty lines with a scroll bar. Headers - Normal just gives the subject, and the recipient - me. Which is a bit redundant! How can I get back to pre makeover headers?

Issue 1: When using the scroll bar to browse the list of emails, it skips one email (advances too much), so when searching I sometimes cannot find that email. I tried resizing the list of emails to try to match the vertical size, but it does not seem to help.

Issue 2: I cannot customize the vertical size for the list of emails. It won't accept reducing less than about one third of the vertical size of the thunderbird window.

Issue 3: In between the list of emails and the display of the current email content, there is a large area that I find redundant. The 'From', 'To', 'Subject', 'Date' is redundant since the list of emails already show all this information. I cannot find a way to remove, minimize or compact this region. Even the list of buttons could be removed in my case since I mainly use shortcuts and anyway, they are available in the menu or when you right click on an email.
