Every time I send an email I get a popup little window telling me its being sent and a copy has been copied to my Sent folder. After seeing this about 500 times I probably don't need to be notified of this anymore. Is there any way of disabling this wonderful and informative little feature?

I am trying to permanently add the Size column to the search messages pop-up window when I try to search my emails.

In older Thunderbird versions, you had the capability to add the 'Size' column to the 'Search Messages' window when search emails. That is proving difficult to do in v52.7.

I am having a long email exchange with someone at the moment and today they asked if I could stop indenting the previous emails with chevrons everytime I reply, because after a few exchanges, it destroys the legibility of the emails.

Can I turn off indents and chevrons and just have the prior email text appear below the To:, From:, CC:, Subject: list?

I'm happy to hack some config files. I didn't see a menu option.

Thanks Adam

I can only find very old threads and no solutions to this question. I want to add more than 2 email addresses for some contacts. I don't want to create extra card(s) for the same contact since I sync my contacts across other platforms (ie phone) and it gets messy. My phone can, of course, happily accept any number of email addresses for a single contact. Thanks

I use the latest Thunderbird email program. I send a lot of emails to text addresses. So I do not use a subject line. Each time I send a message it comes up with a warning "send message without subject?" Is there a way to override this and send without getting this message every single time? In other words get this pop up to not show up again? Something easy for someone who is not a computer guru? It would be nice like most popups, to have a do not show this message again button. Or did I miss this in settings somewhere??

The old ResetRec add-in has been removed in Thunderbird 60. I frequently send to large lists and then need to send as new to another set of recipients. Manually removing each recipient is time consuming. The old add-in hasn't been updated since 2011 so it is unlikely to be updated. How can I remove all recipients. Thank you, Len

I'm getting an increasing number of emails - mainly from businesses I deal with - that display a large image with the subject line of the mail when it appears in the message pane.

An example would be a music company I deal with has a picture of a guitar superimposed on the subject line.

This makes the message pane cluttered and I find it annoying.. Is there any way to prevent these displaying or better still prevent them from being downloaded?

For instance the following link provided a method that used to change the position of the address books but does not seem to have that function any longer.

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=889185&p=4662625

Can you advise me how to manipulate the positions. If this is not possible can you tell me how to request that this be added as a feature. This is strictly a time saving feature request as it would allow me to not have to repeatedly day after day and lots of times many times a day change from the PAB to my preferred Address Book. Thank you.

When I write or reply to an e-mail, the default spell check is always English. I always have to change it to the language I use for the used contact. Can the preferred language be saved for a recipient so that when I compose a message or reply to one, and the recipient exists in my contacts, it will automatically take the preferred language for this recipient?

Thanks in advance Freefox

I've been plagued from the beginning by the similarity of the terms 'Junk' and 'Trash,' so I figured I'd rename the Junk folder 'Spam.' Right-clicking on the folder suggests this is possible, but when I type in 'Spam,' the folder simply disappears from the list. So I restart Thunderbird and 'Junk' is back on the list. Is it possible to rename this folder, and what is the procedure? Many thanks!
