Just moved on from Microsoft email. Hadn't tried Thunderbird in a few years and wanted to give it another try. It is all connected and working via an IMAP provider.

Issue is the arrangement of the folders. Sent, Trash, Spam and Drafts are sub folders of Inbox. Not a show stopper, just seems different and slightly inconvenient. Would like to pop those out so they were hanging off the account title. I found a 10 year old article about this that said the arrangement of these folders is dictated by the IMAP server. If this is the case, then I guess it is what it is.

Whenever I use Figma on Mac, in order to drag groups around, the keyboard shortcut for it is option + command + up/down arrows. In Firefox, this shortcut is overrided and instead switches between tabs. As it stands currently, there isn't any way to customize this behavior in about:keyboard.

Please update the setting to allow for customization in navigating between tabs!

Hi,

In my one account in Thunderbird, I still have the old POP folders, that was a different account. I also have an IMAP account, both have the same address. The pop one does not work but the folders are there, I use them to look old mails up, so far so good. When I sent out an email with my IMAP account, the sent mail goes into the sent folder of the IMAP account, so far so good. BUT when I click on that sent mail and click on reply, it replies to the same address that what it already was sent to, now here comes the problem. THAT copy of the mail, I called the NEW sent, does not go into my sent folder. It goes directly into the sent folder of my old pop account. Even though everything on the IMAP account is standard, re-sent mails are not placed in the IMAP account sent folder. What am I doing wrong here, I know when writing the mail is that I can choose the send address and if I change that it goes in the IMAP sent folder but why is it standard on my old POP account, and why not on the IMAP account even though the IMAP is the standard?

Situation: Several Earthlink accounts using IMAP in Thunderbird. Earthlink/mindspring folders show the same folders as webmail. However, Thunderbird includes (by default?) "Sent Spam" and "Virus Blocker" folders. These are not visible in Earthlink webmail.

The folder subscribe function doesn't appear to do anything.

Deleting the msf files from the profile and restarting Thunderbird recreates the MSF files, and the empty, non-existent (on webmail) folders persist.

Have had this issue for a very long time. Would like to know, just to assuage a tiny bit of OCD, how to remove the folders from the list displayed for the account(s) on Thunderbird.

Thanks in advance. M

In Firefox 158, swiping left or right with two fingers to go back/forward between pages now has a haptic feedback and sound using a trackpad. This is INCREDIBLY annoying and completely unnecessary, I spent 30 minutes looking up Macbook help because I thought my trackpad was broken. Please allow us to disable this, it is so annoying to have the trackpad making noise so frequently. This is not a "get used to a new feature" type of sound, this is a "I will stop using Firefox entirely because of how annoying it is" sound. There is no benefit to this noise, swiping left/right to navigate back/forward doesn't need additional haptic feedback because you can visually see the browser go back or forward. I can't believe this design choice got past QA, it becomes annoying and intrusive the first time you use it, let alone the 10-15 times a minute it happens when browsing normally.

How can I customize url and search fields to remove the search engine dropdown, and ideally make the URL fields ONLY work with URLs and the search field only work with my default search engine?

A recent update has completely broken my muscle memory: I'm used to typing Cmd-L to move to the URL field, then a single tab to move to the search field, where I immediately start typing.

Now, that single tab moves me to the search engine dropdown, which I don't even want to use, so every time I try to search I have to stop and back up and it's badly affecting my workflow.

How can I either change the tab order or just get rid of the dropdown completely? If I want to use a different search engine, I can always just go to their page instead of using the search bar.

Also, is the URL field now exactly the same as the search field? I really want them to behave differently - I don't want to touch search if all I'm doing is re-visiting a URL in my history. Is there a way to have a URL field that ONLY works with URLs and avoids search, and a separate search field that works with my default search engine?

Thanks for your help.

I want to be able to left click a link & open in a Firefox private window. It always opens in a regular browsing window. The only way I have found to do this is to right click the link & left click "copy link location" & then paste in a private window address bar. I do not want to use a 3rd party program or extension & I don't want to create another Firefox profile either.

I type enter and there is an extra blank line

Like this

I can't seem to find a way to stop it.

It doesn't affect bullet lists:

• Bulleted list item
• Bulleted list item

But I can't provide a tidy chunk of information, e.g. when providing my Address to someone (where bulleting doesn't make sense)

Probably something obvious - I tried from 'Format' menu changing from 'Paragraph' to 'Body Text' but it doesn't seem to stick.

FOUND IT: From MAIN APPLICATION window Menu...Edit...Settings...UNCHECK 'Use Paragraph format instead of Body Text by default' I must have checked it at some stage (or maybe it's the default)

Sometimes I enjoy a conversation with myself...but in any case maybe someone else could find this useful.

i'm on a macbook pro. the firefox icon is in my dock. when i'm in another app and i want to go to the firefox window i access several times daily, i'm instead brought to the window i went to most recently and i have to tap the icon again to get to the one i want and this happens every time i tap the icon. i've rebooted several times, i've cleared cache except for passwords. i don't know what else to do and it's really annoying

Desktop Windows 11 Thunderbird 156.0.1

I have configured the message columns in the Message List pane for all the folders the way I want them. Unfortunately, Thunderbird frequently changes the columns in some, but not all, of the folders back to the default column configuration.

To temporarily fix this, I click on the column picker button in the folder that has the column configuration I want and select "Apply columns to > Folders and its children > " my top level folder. I also repeat this and select "Apply current view to > Folders and its children >" my top level folder. Sometimes this corrects the column organization in all my folders, but I usually have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get the columns arranged the way I want them in ALL my folders. This lasts a few days before Thunderbird again returns the message columns in SOME of my folders to the default configuration. I then have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get them the way I want, only to have to do this again in a few days.

How do I stop Thunderbird from making these changes, or how do I change the default column setting to the way I want it, not the way Thunderbird wants it?

This is not a new issue for me. I've been dealing with this for quite some time over many Thunderbird versions.

I'm relatively new to Thunderbird and have discovered that all folders are configured for threading by default. Threading is something I don't care for at all. I've found one article that addresses this issue but the process outlined is ponderously byzantine. I'm hoping this has been simplified since that process was published. How do I turn off threading on all existing and future folders? Thanks for any comments.
