So I have a list of folders some of which are the default folders some are custom created.

When I try to re-order these it is very hit or miss: I select a folder, drag it to where I want it to go, wait for the blue placement line to appear and it may or may not re-locate. Or I simply can't move the folder I want to move and so I move folders around it in order to achieve the layout I want.

It is as if success depends on whether Thunderbird is in the mood for a particular move to happen and I find it really frustrating. It should or shouldn't work, it shouldn't be that it works sometimes.

What is going on with this?

Whenever i send a message , it is saved to the 'inbox' previously it would be saved "sent mail". I have verified that TB is configured to save to sent mail but the msg is saved anyway to inbox.

Can some one explain how to get back to saving sent messages to sent mail folder.

In all honesty I find it frustrating to keep moving msgs manually.

What in the world are you thinking!?!

Firefox fails to obey OS-defined DNS and instead overrides this to use …….Cloudflare? Are you nuts?

Whoever told you Cloudflare is private or secure failed to educate you on Surveillance Capitalism.

For the love of all that is good in this world, rekey Firefox to allow user-defined DNS- whether that is through DHCP, manual config or a management profile.

Using a new, clean install of Xubuntu 26.04, with thunderbird 140.10.2esr 64 bit, ubuntu snap build 1.0. In settings: play a sound when new message arrives, no sound is heard. When clicking "play" to test the sound, there is no sound. Also, if "use the following sound file" is checked, there is no sound when "play" is clicked. (I have tried various .wav and .mp3 files.) I have installed pipewire-alsa, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

I started setting up Thunderbird on May 8, after I got my new windows 11 computer. I added 6 of my most important email accounts (different providers). Today, I went through settings to make things better (I thought). Immediately after, all my email accounts (both current & previous messages started printing in plain text only. I tried to fix by going to view, message body as...simple text, restart, then back to original HTML. Then, restart again. All this to no avail. I am sure it is a setting because until today, all were in HTML.

In Thunderbird on my Mac there appears to be no way of restoring alphabetical order to Folders.

All of my folders under A(and there are a lot of them) have dropped down a few alphabetical letters. There is supposed to be a right click on account name and restore this order, however, like many features on Thunderbird it does not exist now.

So a) why has Thunderbird on my Mac done this and how do I sort it out please?

When using the Android version of Firefox, enabling "Always request desktop site" in settings works as expected when directly searching for a website via the address bar, resulting in the requested desktop site. However, when navigating to a new page via this method (such as clicking search engine results), it returns the mobile site. The browser menu bar still displays that the desktop site is enabled, and clicking the button still refreshes the page, but the result remains unchanged, still showing the mobile version. The "Desktop site" button status also remains unchanged. Everything works normal only after completely closing the app, but the issue persists upon subsequent navigation. It can be confirmed through the User Agent detection tool that the issue is with the User Agent.

I have had to buy a new desktop to get Windows 11.

I have installed Thunderbird, which I have used for many years, on the new computer. This version threads the incoming emails. I really hate my emails being threaded, it completely confuses me and prevents me doing what I have to do. I have not had this problem ever before. I have searched all the settings and not found any that will stop threading. Because the effect of threading seem permanent I now need all my emails reloaded to get rid of the effects threading.

I uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled hoping I could get a fresh start. I got the same old problem back again.

How can I get a version of Thunderbird that does not thread any of my emails ever?

And can I get all my existing emails re loaded?

I am trying to disable the text segmentation behavior in latest Firefox(v151), but I have encountered an issue where changing the preference in [about:config] does not seem to have any effect.

Details:

   Target Preference:  intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled
   Current Setting:       false
   Problem: 
   Even after setting this to false (and restarting the browser), the text segmentation behavior (such as word selection logic) remains unchanged and appears to still be using the ICU4X engine.
   Reference:
   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440483#answer-1638092


I would like to know:

  1.  Has this preference been deprecated or hardcoded to true in recent versions of Firefox?
   2. Is there any other way to disable the ICU4X-based segmenter or revert to the previous segmentation logic?
   3. If this is a known change, is there an alternative preference to adjust how word selection handles specific languages (e.g., Japanese)?

I am using the latest version of Firefox. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

I have TB version 140.11.0esr (64-bit) running on Win 10. I have multiple accounts and each is set to check for new messages every 10 minutes (nothing else is ticked under "Server Settings). Everything is ticked under "When new message arrives" (and default sound is used).

When new messages were available to download, TB used to play alert sound (and I would know to download new messages) but now TB is sounding (the new messages) alert every time it checks for new messages even if there are NO new messages to download! How do I revert to the alert ONLY being sounded when there ARE new messages to download?

I find 'threading' useless and confusing. I want to turn it off for every message, everywhere. But the drop down menus with items about 'threading' seem locked. I cannot uncheck anything. Not just that the checks return when I re-open Thunderbird, but also the checks don't respond to keyboard input to disappear.

How can I get rid of this horrible attempt the software is making to think for me? It always gets things wrong.
