When an email that is part of a thread is selected the delete button changes places with archive so I end up with a bunch of archives I don't want because I get a lot of mail and delete is my favorite key to spam.

Is there a way of changing this placement behavior or do I need to hack the source and if I do need to go hacking can someone point me in the direction of the file with this evil thing.

At some point recently, Thunderbird started ignoring the page range I specify in the print dialog box. I regularly have documents that are 4-5 pages, however I only need the first page printed. So in the print dialog, I set it to double sided printing, and to print only pages 1-2. In the past, it would only print a single (double sided) page...recently, it started printing all of the pages, and ignoring the setting I provided. Any help would be appreciated!

When you resize the window vertically, the message list resizes and the preview stays fixed, how to keep the list constant height ?

Hi,

I use AltSnap and its snap feature a lot because I have multiple 40" TVs as monitors.

That means I often deal with thunderbird floating windows rather than maximized, and I often resize it.

And I notice that my message list is always getting too small !

I realized this is because when you resize the thunderbird window vertically, the preview pane stays a constant size, but it is the message list that resizes.

Over time the message list gets squished out and not even one message is visible.

I think if the message list remained of a constant size during vertical resize and it was the preview pane that got resized along with the window, it would prevent that and the message list would always be, the size that you last set it.

I can change the width of folder pane in the main folder tab, but not in subsequent folder tabs

Hello,

I *can* resize the folder pane in the first/main folder tab, but, I *can not* resize the folder pane in subsequent folder tabs I create using "open in new tab". 

This occurs using any layout (Classic, wide, vertical view). In the first tab I get the double-headed arrow to resize the folder pane, but in subsequent folder tabs I don't get it.

When I open a  folder in a new tab, the folder pane is the same width as the parent tab, but, I can't adjust it.

I'm using Thunderbird 152.0.1, but, this has been going on for a long time from what I can remember.

I've tried a number of suggested things to fix this: - Deleted xulstore.json - Cleared Startup Cache. - restarted in Troubleshoot mode (and I get the same issue there). - Switched layout views - Toggled folder modes - Adjusted interface density. - Toggled hardware acceleration. - Deleted the UI Cache Folder (shader-cache)

Nothing worked.

Please help me with this!

Thank you, Jim

In the email address tree on the start up page of Thunderbird, how can I manually sort the email address order? I have an address I would like to move to the top of the list.

I know it can be done, but I can not for the life of me remember how. Please help.....

I've read a lot of suggestions on the FAQ section, but what they are offering, I do not have listed in/on my Thunderbird.

Thank you.

When incoming email arrives a notification sound is heard on the phone which is fine. But when connected to Android Auto the notification sound is not heard nigher on the phone or through the car speakers. Other apps on the phone such as Signal and WhatsApp do play the notification while connected to Android Auto so it's not an Android Auto setting that's the issue. Why would the notification play fine on the phone but not while connected to Android Auto while other apps do?
