I'm just checking, is it near impossible to add an image to your signature? As old as thunderbird is why has this not been made easier or possible? Just curious, i cany be the only one. i have tried html in the box and attaching the html file.. I then read the image needs to be base64, tried that still nothing. After a few hours I'm sitting here thinking is this 1980? Please help, even if its to say not really possible. Sorry for being a bit snarky, I'm just confused why something so standard for years is so difficult.

I have a MacAir and want to create a signature with a Brush Script font. In the Thunderbird Account Settings, I see the area to create a signature but not a list of fonts. How do I do that? Thanks, Richard

Email messages which contains items other than plain text used to cause a button to be displayed that told me there were items other than plain text in the message and asked if I wanted to display them. Suddenly, that option no longer appears on individual messages. I don't know of anything I did to disable that function.

Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????

Firefox added a Windows SSO check-box to its security and privacy settings and UI.

It corresponds to the "network.http.window-sso.enabled" prefs. My org now requires this to allow sign-in in, including for emails, so Thunderbird is affected. Any plan to support this prefs? I wpould be fine editing my prefs.js file in muy profile if no UI is provided. As of now, Thunderbird no longer is compatible with this org requirements.

When I tried to import my OpenGPG keys from the "Select File to Import...", I found that it cannot display the hidden files or directories.

Did I miss a setting for this? What can I do to show the hidden files?

How can I remove the time display from the date column in the messages. The Date and or Received Columns always add the time and therefore waste space as I want to change the column width.

I have tried using the Config Editor and changed the numbers offered, 1-2-3-4 to no avail. I am missing something.

Would like to see 10-26-2026' NOT 10-26-2026 4:13am '

I do not need to know the time value.

Thanks

Hello, In my Mozilla Thunderbird email client I'm sorting received emails into 'conversations' which in Thunderbird is known as 'Threaded View'. I find this to be useful functionality but one problem I have is that it's not obvious when there's a new email in that thread. The only way to check for a new message in a thread, is to click on the '<n> replies' in the very first threaded email, so that when that expands to show all content in that thread - one can then see that there are new emails that haven't yet been read. Is there any way that new (unread) emails in Threaded View can be made obvious ?. Regards,

I use Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop for my mail. I use Outlook on my Android phone. When I delete old messages from my SENT MAIL folder on the computers, it doesn't delete from the SENT folder on my Android Outlook program. What settings do I need to have it delete in ALL places from SENT when I delete it in any one place. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,

I am looking for the option to have each email row display ~3-5 lines of preview text directly under the subject line in inbox pane. Without it, it's very difficult to manage the email load.

How do I do that?

I got the "Donate" screen covering my messages; I donated but the Donate screen still mostly covers my screen. The part of the screen I can see has a different view (layout?) from what I have been using.

In Thunderbird, I am trying to create an email filter, however, the screen/window display will not show the "OK" button to allow the filter creation to be saved for usage. After several hours, I have tried all the resolution changes, "resizing" the screen/window, "window" stacking, cascading etc, - nothing works to lengthen the screen to show the "OK button. I have other filters created previously, that work, but editing with changes have the same display issue. (HP Pavilion laptop-Windows10, i7) It appears that the bottom of screen is in a fixed position -see screenshot.

Any suggestions appreciated,

I currently use imap with my email hosting provider and has worked well with Thunderbird. However, speeds are getting slower and storage costs have gone up. It is time for me to move non-current emails from my email account to back it up while still accessible. I was wondering if Thunderbird's Local Folders default path (C:\Users\......\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\......\Mail\Local Folders) can be changed to a google drive folder on D:\ drive. If there are any risks in doing so. Thanks.
