Messages layout

Hello there\Moderator 5/7/2026 / 01:48 / europe.

Hello there Tomasz kos.

Supernova look Yes, you can get this layout if you are using Thunderbird version 115 or newer. The screenshot you provided shows Thunderbird utilizing the Vertical View layout combined with the Cards View message list.

To set this up on your own screen, follow these steps: 0Click the Application Menu button (the three horizontal lines in the top right). 1Navigate to View > Layout and check Vertical View. (This moves your email preview pane to the right). 2Look at the top right of your message list (just to the right of the Quick Filter button) and click the Message list display options icon. 3Select Cards View from the dropdown menu.

I don't have a card view to choose from. I only have a table view and a business card view. Thunderbird version 152.0.1 (64 bity)

@Tomasz, first go to the View > Layout menu und verify that the item "Message List Header" is checked. Then in the right corner of the message list header click on the "Message list display options" button and select "Card View" in the drop down menu

If you don't understand my indications and screen shots please consult the link to the help article proposed by Wayne.

Tomasz, your original screen shot is not list of messages of table view nor cards view. It is the message body summaries provided by the addon https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/

Setting "Cards View" (once you find it) will not give you the display you have posted.

@Wayne, I think that Tomasz's image corresponds to Thunderbird with the "Conversations" add-on and a Sort By > Threaded view
