Thunderbird Community Forum

I have been moving and saving starred emails in folders. When I read email on my iPhone, I can see a total number for flagged emails but cannot find messages easily. When I go to Thunderbird on desktop, I have to look through folders. I would find it helpful to be able to view all flagged emails in one place, to periodically see if the flags are still helpful, if I have missed something, etc.

I used the import and export to get my Mozilla Thunderbird info to my new computer but it did not move my considerable number of saved emails in folders in my Inbox. Everything else went I think. Did I miss something? Are they stored in the profile too? They didn't go.

Thanks in advance. Roger Garman [edited from public] @glastel.net

Sometime in the past year or two, ONE of my four accounts started starring (putting the yellow star) on ALL emails I sent from that account.

This is not happening in the other accounts, including an account from the same university email system. If I send an email from the affected account (cischair) it is starred when viewed in cischair but not in the other account I sent it to (suthers). If I send an email from the other account, suthers, to cischair, it is not started in either account but my reply from cischair to suthers will be starred, again only when viewed in cischair, not in suthers.

It's very annoying to have to uncheck the stars on everything I send, and makes them useless.

Of course, I have looked in Account Settings for something that turns this on and off, and have not found anything.

Could you tell me where this might be set, or perhaps inadvertently by some keystroke combination (the bane of usability)?

Thanks - Dan

Hi,

I'm experiencing issues with threaded view in Thunderbird (version 139.0.2 on Windows). Some threads do not display all messages -only a few emails are shown (e.g. 2 out of 8), and others are missing from the thread view even though they are present on the server. Rightclicking a message and selecting "Open message in new tab" sometimes works (but still doesn't show all messages), and sometimes it doesn't open a new tab at all. the missing messages do exist on the server, and I can find them using Ctrl + Shift + F , but they do not show up in the thread, nor do they appear via Global Search, even though the global index has finished building.

I have tried the following: -Right-click folder > Properties > Repair folder -Deleted and rebuilt global-messages-db.sqlite (global search database) -Reduced IMAP mailbox size from 140GB to 110GB -Waited for reindexing to complete

But the problem persists. It seems that Thunderbird either doesn’t associate all related messages with the same thread, or skips them entirely in display and search.

What can i do to fix it? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have a large database of emails. When i conduct a search from the search bar then it gives me a wide list of search results with multiple emails and different filter options on the left side. However, when i select the option "show result as list" from the top right, then on another window with list view it only shows very few mails and not all.

For example, on initial search it shows 109 emails for that particular keyword search. But on choosing show as list - it shows only 30 emails (instead of 109) !!. Screen shots attached for above example.

Kindly advise how to resolve.

In the past, the share option on web sites like the New York Times brought up Thunderbird in Write mode. Now it only brings up Thunderbird's folder contents view. I have not recently altered settings or adding extensions. Any ideas what might have changed?

Hi all,

I know how to search Thunderbird emails using the "right-click on a folder" method to "Search messages" to list only those emails which have attachments.

What I would like to do is narrow that down further so that the results only show attachments of a certain type of attachment e.g. just PDFs, or just PNGs.

Is there a way to do that ?

I don't care about matching the filename of the PDF or PNG just that it *IS* a PDF or PNG filetype.

Thanks.

I FOUND no close TOPIC.

Google calendar allows color-coding of events - but the display is highly inadequate. T-bird 128 calendar apparently HAS no option to color events. But events are FAR easier to see WHEN color-highlighted. Would this be a difficult option??

In Thunderbird existiert die Suchfunktion ohne Zeiteinschränkung nicht mehr. Vorher gab es die Funktion "alle Termine". Die ist nicht mehr da. Wir kann ich Suchen, ohne dass ich einen gewissen Monat o.ä. vorher wissen muss????
