Up to now I have been using the FireTray add-on, this is no longer working in Thunderbird 60 even if I enable legacy add-ons. I do believe that Thunderbird is making a catastrophic mistake by cutting itself off from a large part of its add-on ecosystem, but I don’t want to debate that here. What I think is really missing is some form of indicator that new e-mail has arrived (not unread but new) that is not transient. If I leave my screen for a while with a minimised TB process running, I will now have to maximise the window and check all accounts (actually, all folders that might receive new mail via filtering) to see if I have missed a new mail notification while I was away. The same applies if I was at the screen but focused on something else. With FireTray I would have seen a change in the tray icon. Now it seems that I have to check the folder pane for a colour change in the names of all candidate accounts or folders. I cannot believe that TB developers want to force us to do constantly inspect the window, so I’d like to know how I am supposed to be able to check if new email has arrived without having to maximise the window. Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I use LinuMint 17.3 Cinnamon 2.8.8 (64-bit) with 3.19.0-32-generic kernel.

Yesterday I upgraded my version of Thunderbird to the 60.2.1 (64-bit). It came automatically with LinuxMint update manager, which I usually trust, so did yesterday. Unfortunately I find out that Lighting extension, with all my calendar data, just disappeared. I followed the suggestions here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird) but I turned out that is not possible to restore Lighting in my case. If I try to re-install it, it simply says the current Lighting version is not available for the latest Thunderbird one.

I backed up all my profile data and .thunderbird folder, so I hope to be able to find a way to fix this somewhere in the future.

I tried to downgrade Thunderbird, but it seems not possible to me to download a previous version from this website, neither I find it on my MintInstall manager. Any suggestion for this would be of great help. Also, if there is a Lighting version coming up anytime soon I'd be relieved of knowing that.

In the meanwhile, I would also appreciate if you can tell me a way to at least read my calendar from the .sqlite files in claendar-data folder. Maybe there's an alternative software I can use for this purpose? I tried also SeaMonkey, but it seems incompatible with a lot of stuff on my computer and it simply does not run when launched).

I am kind of desperate. Any suggestion is a big help. Alf

In the latest Thunderbird version 60.2.1 there are NO colored icons (on the Menu Toolbar) and the highlighter 0.6.5 (that we used in the previous versions) is now DISABLED. If you have xpi files for both issues, please advise where we can download them from, or send us any other options for extensions and themes that will solve those issues! Thanks!

Hi all,

I have been using an extension for this task (please see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1194148), but this extension is now incompatible with the latest version of Thunderbird. Is there any other way (extension) to solve this task?

Thanks.

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

Thunderbird always opened up at the inbox folder. I did a search for a sent email. Now Thunderbird opens in the sent folder. How to I get back to opening in the inbox?

I've just switched over the Thunderbird after 20 years of using Eudora Pro email.. The most used feature of that program was the easy access "stationary" area. (See attached)... I operate a business via email and get the same repeated questions almost on a daily basis.. Rather than type in the answers to common questions.. I have over 100 pre-answered (some call them "canned" answers) that I can click on, copy, and paste as the answer.. This saves me literally dozens of hours a week..

Any suggestions?

Thunderbird recently updated to 60.0 and now I cannot install themes. None of the help threads I have found work. I must be missing something. Everything I try keeps adding themes to Firefox instead of Thunderbird.

The former Thunderbird address book had a panel so that you could search for a contact to add to a list or modify. Now there is now no way to search for a specific contact that I can find. F9 works when addressing an email. Need similar in Address Book.

When trying to accentuate certain words in texts of an email, I am unable to change the color of the font. I can change the color to red for example and as soon as I type, it automatically reverts back to black.

Hi There -

Well, in Thunderbird 60, my add-on, "select inbox" is disabled.

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/select-inbox/

I have just one Inbox, so when I open TB 60, I want it to always open in the Inbox view.

Will TB 60.0.1 correct this, or do I need another way. If so, kindly advise.

Many thanks! :)

Things are fine on my laptop, and I had no problems on my old Dell desktop. But I just got a new Dell desktop and in my Thunderbird account on that the pictures are coming through as white boxes. I figure there must be a setting that I have wrong but don't know where to look. I've clicked all over the place.

I would like to turn off the automatic open of email messages in Thunderbird. When I close or move or delete a message, the next message or the last message automatically opens. I don't want that. I want to be able to open messages individually.

Hello. When I want to delete an e-mail from trash folder, there's a box that is displayed to ask if i really want to delete this e-mail and at the same time there is a sound (probably default system sound) being played. I really would love to stop that sound but i can not find out how to. Can you please help ?

I have 2 separate email accounts - one for me and one for my wife. However in settings there is only one Outgoing Servers box and it asks for one to be default. That means the other account doesn't send emails. Is there a way of setting different outgoing servers for the two different accounts automatically?
