Have just downloaded Tbird to a new PC. Only view I can choose is a totally useless Vertical View. Unusable. Can I download a previous version? I have no need for pgp security. Will classic view be coming reasonably soon? Can I somehow upload a profile from the old PC? I Will download if possible and if you tell me how. Otherwise it will have to be bye bye Tbird and use Outlook. Hoping you can help me. Thanks, Gordon X@gmail.com

I purchased VPN to carry on seeing Bitchute in UK....used it on my Ipad and works fine. Followed the process on my PC to download etc but it doesn't seem to work. Also can you switch it on and off seemed easy on the Ipad, but makes no sense on my PC (Windows 10) Thanks

Last week I discovered that my emails (yahoo) when clicked on opened a Preview screen next to the email lists. How can the previews be removed and my emails appear across my screen instead of being crammed into a left hand column?

Using Windows 11 and a recent version of Firefox, if I open a command prompt window and enter: C:\Users\Admin\Documents>"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Esr\firefox.exe" --help

I get nothing.

Is it possible to change Firefox so that it works without "| more"?

Note that the above was on my Windows 11 laptop, but I'm sending this from my Windows 7 desktop. None of the suggested topics were appropriate, so I selected the first one "Accessibility".

I've organized my email into lots (and lots) of folders and sub-folders. For example I have one folder for tech support and it has subordinate sub-folders for all the tech companies I've corresponded with over the years. Extensive use of filters helps most of the sorting to folders get done automatically on receipt, but occasionally I'll get a message in my inbox I'd like to move to an appropriate sub-folder .... say, a tech support company.

So ... with my inbox index in the main message window, I find and drag the desired message over to the sidebar and because the target sub-folder is (virtually) below the sub-folders listed, I carry the message to the bottom of the list and T-bird scrolls down for me .... but it scrolls so quickly and so far that it ends up going way past the target sub-folder. Having gone too far, the same fast scrolling "feature" makes it tricky to find the desired folder when scrolling back up.

The scrolling feature is useful, but I need to slow it down.

The two scrolling controls that are easily found in settings don't have an impact on this behavior. I looked into the advanced controls (the one micky-mousers like me aren't supposed to fool with) and I see a lot of parameters related to scrolling, but I decided not to go the way of Micky (in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"). Can any of you Wizards out there help me.

What are the exact differences between Thunderbird and Thunderbird Pro? Pro includes GB of storage. I want to know if this is only the case with Thunderbird, and if all other Thunderbird versions, for example, on the channel Relies Eser, do not include storage. I'm also interested in the topic of encryption, so please provide as much detail as possible.

Where can I find information about this in German?

I deleted the VPN button after the latest update and would like to get it back. I found VPN in the Settings but the VPN button is disabled, and nothing happens. Need suggestions -- thanks.

On my Android phone, I cannot get rid of Firefox pasting from clipboard, even though I have this option turned off in my Firefox settings and what Firefox pasted is not even in my clipboard anymore! When I do copy/paste in other apps, Firefox seems to copy something and if I long press on the search bar in Firefox, it pastes that into the search bar. The only way I can get rid of it is to restart my phone every time. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
