Thunderbird Community Forum

Just moved on from Microsoft email. Hadn't tried Thunderbird in a few years and wanted to give it another try. It is all connected and working via an IMAP provider.

Issue is the arrangement of the folders. Sent, Trash, Spam and Drafts are sub folders of Inbox. Not a show stopper, just seems different and slightly inconvenient. Would like to pop those out so they were hanging off the account title. I found a 10 year old article about this that said the arrangement of these folders is dictated by the IMAP server. If this is the case, then I guess it is what it is.

Situation: Several Earthlink accounts using IMAP in Thunderbird. Earthlink/mindspring folders show the same folders as webmail. However, Thunderbird includes (by default?) "Sent Spam" and "Virus Blocker" folders. These are not visible in Earthlink webmail.

The folder subscribe function doesn't appear to do anything.

Deleting the msf files from the profile and restarting Thunderbird recreates the MSF files, and the empty, non-existent (on webmail) folders persist.

Have had this issue for a very long time. Would like to know, just to assuage a tiny bit of OCD, how to remove the folders from the list displayed for the account(s) on Thunderbird.

Thanks in advance. M

I want to be able to left click a link & open in a Firefox private window. It always opens in a regular browsing window. The only way I have found to do this is to right click the link & left click "copy link location" & then paste in a private window address bar. I do not want to use a 3rd party program or extension & I don't want to create another Firefox profile either.

I notice that in dark mode highlighted text and color text are rendered as normal white text. This behaviour broken UI experience because those style are used to give more importance to some text and in this way this intent is totally lost.

I attach some example switch from dark to light mode.

I think that is useful adding an option to use dark mode without overwrite this type of colors
