Currently using TB 153.0, Win 11 on desktop PC.

In past versions there was a progress bar on right end of the status line, along bottom edge of the screen, that showed progress while TB was compacting folders. That bar hasn't been visible in last few updates.

When prompted today, I allowed TB to start compacting. I'd permanently deleted a really big bunch of old emails in last few days, so probably a lot of space that could be recovered. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting, but without the progress I had no idea if TB was busy or possibly frozen. So I just left it alone. When I came back and tried to manually start compacting, it immediately said "Done, 0K saved". So it had obviously done the compacting.

If it's an option, how do I enable that progress bar? If not currently available, please consider restoring it in future TB updates. I -for one- think it's a very useful feature.

THX!

Hello,

I followed the steps to use the vCard option as a Email Signature.

When creating a new email the vCard Signature is not appearing.

Please Advise,

Rodney

We're planning to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird, but we have a hard time in harmonizing font sizes on text and signature. One of the issues is that fonts can be set to textual values tiny, small, medium, etc. w/o knowing what it corresponds to in pt. But lets explain what we tried so far: - Under Settings/ General / Language&Fonts, we defined Calibri 12 as default, what we repeated under Advanced for 'Latin' & 'Other Writing Fonts' - Under Settings / Composition, we defined Calibri / Medium for the HTML Style - The HTML-signature is defined using the Calibri 12 font But when creating a new message w/ these settings, the result is terrible as you can see in the example: disregard the fonts' color, just look at the font sizes.

Is there any simple solution?

ive been using firefox for a long time now and i appreciate how compared to other browsers i have less ai jammed down my throat. i thought the crossword widget added recently was fun and ive been enjoying it every now and then. so i really do wonder, why would firefox put the ai-child-porn-lover who begged jeffrey epstein to let him come to his pedophile island on the crossword?

i really think you need to reconsider your editors or reconsider your morals.

sincerely, a very disappointed user of over a decade!

I want to send an email to an address book list. I've searched for how to do it, and a "Write" button is needed but I do not have one. I tried right c,licking on the upper bar and chose customise. I see various buttons to add including "Write", but nothing I do adds it.

When I open something in an email in Thunderbird I also get an extra new tab along with the tab for what I am wanting. If I don't delete this new tab, when I try to return to my email page it takes me to my Windows 11 home page. It only happens when I use Thunderbird and is very annoying. What do I need to do to resolve this issue.

After recent update, The auto scroll feature will not stop working no matter what I do. I have unchecked the box and have set all auto scroll Items ti false but the auto scroll will not turn off. How can this be turned off or a new release / up date? I have gone from 32 bit to 64 bit after the last update as well.

Suggestions

1. A lightweight and customizable version:

  · The ability to permanently remove Pocket.
  · Disable sponsored ads and recommendations on the home page.
  · Please avoid automatically adding suggested extensions, and keep only the Add-ons button.

2. Built-in free features:

  · A free, unlimited VPN.
  · A built-in AI assistant.
  · A built-in video player.
  · An integrated download manager.

3. An alternative to monthly subscriptions:

  Since most users do not have access to international payment methods, we kindly suggest an optional support model:
  · A “Buy me a coffee” button.
  · Cryptocurrency donations.
  · Voluntary support: those who are able to support may do so, and those who cannot may continue using it for free.

Thank you for considering these suggestions.

I was a satisfied user of the Thunderbird e-mail client. I especially enjoyed the ability to toggle into darkmode when browsing and reading my e-mail. The previous toggle I used to activate that feature is missing, and I cannot locate a work around to turn it back on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

On two different Windows machines, current Firefox (153.0.1), the alt-d shortcut stops working: it does nothing until I restart Firefox. Then it works again for a while. I've tried about:keyboard and it's not reset there. I tried all combinations: Clear, Reset, setting it to alt-d explicitly. None of those worked. But when I set it to alt-a, that worked--but then resetting back to alt-d again didn't work. That shortcut is muscle memory at this point, so it's quite distressing. Not sure what diagnostics might be available to help here, happy to try anything.

Full disclosure: Both machines are Windows 10 but since that's stable, I find it hard to believe that's related.

Until recently, Folder Panes were visible at all times, but after the most recent update, they only appear when I am on a folder and are not visible when I am on a message. I have activated Views/Folders/Folder Pane Header, but that does not solve the problem.

Shortly after my most recent update, my Sent folder became corrupted. Rather than containing recently sent messages, it contained older messages from another folder, and when I send a new message now, it is not added to the Sent folder. When I tried to send a message, I received an error notification indicating that the message could not be archived because the folder did not have enough memory. I deleted everything from the Sent folder and then compressed it, but that did not solve the issue. I then closed Thunderbird, manually deleted the Sent folder from Mail/Local Folders; the Sent file was regenerated when I started the program again but with the same issue. I then backed up my profile, removed Thunderbird and reinstalled it, and then copied my profile over without the Sent folder. But when I opened the program, the issue still persisted.

The folder properties for the Sent folder indicates:

Name: Sent Location: mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Out -- 148 November-Dec 2022

The location is obviously incorrect as it does not point to the Sent folder, but rather to another folder I use to store older message. I see no way to change the location, and the Repair Folder option does not solve the issue.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

I have lost the send, attach buttons on my new emails? not sure what I touched.

I can recieve emails and reply but when I want to write a new email I am not able to send it as the button to send is gone.

also the New Message button is gone.

I went to View and tool bars... Composition was already enabled. Alt and F10 did not reveal "Send." I tried to use the "Customize" menu and it did not include "Send." I do appreciate your help, even if everything suggested so far has not worked. My fear is that I may have to delete my Thunderbird in its entirety and re-install. If I do this, is there a way for me to save my address book? Is there still a way for me to get my Send back.

I may have to just settle using <Ctl> Enter on my keyboard. Bill

Most of my buttons have disappeared except the send button, which doesn't work. Online help is confusing or doesn't fix the problem. I'm ready to move to a different platform. Why is this so difficult?

I tried the Toolbar fixes in this forum and got the menu to show up, thank you. (Any menu in Compose mode had disappeared. Actually, both Firefox and Thunderbird icons on desktop and Taskbar had disappeared as well, and I had to reinstate shortcuts. This may or may not be pertinent.)

But when I try to add "Send" to the menu, using customize, the "Send" icon is nowhere to be found as an option, so I cannot add it to the Toolbar in Composition mode. "Send" is grayed out in all bold textmenus. If I use Ctrl-Enter, message does get sent. Using Windows 10, still. Perhaps this is an upgrade issue?

The app itself sorts ubread mail at the top, this is obviously vert useful. What seem strange is that the home screen widget does not do this. That setting would be doubbly useful on the widget where a quick peek to see what is what is the entire point.

Is there a way to configure the widget to also do this type of sorting?
