I was very frustrated that in 156.0.1 (157 as of today) on Arch there is no option to minimize to tray when closing. Now i do not know what is the cause of this, but i was unable to find any working solution ... FOR A PROBLEM SOLVED ~12 YEARS AGO >:(. Eventually resigned to system solution using SysTray-X which eventually worked.

               `ooo/                    OS: Arch Linux x86_64
             `+oooooo:                  Kernel: Linux 7.2.9-arch1-1
       ./ooosssso++osssssso+`           Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.7.5
      .oossssso-````/ossssss+`          Window Manager: KWin (Wayland)

1) pacman -S systray-x 2) check plug-in in Thunderbird is present 3) change Thunderbird shortcuts to add env.variables "Exec=env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbird %u"

In the Tasks tab, every task title and every due date is rendered as unreadable glyphs with stacked diacritics (see screenshot). Column headers, the mini calendar, mail and the calendar view all display normally. Because the dates are garbled too, this looks like a font or rendering problem rather than corrupted data.

Thunderbird version: 156.0.1 Operating system: Mac Tahoe 26.6 Troubleshoot Mode: problem persists. Hardware acceleration off: no dif. Different default font: [not tried]

Any ideas?

Hi I am using TB 156.0 (64-bit) on Linux. I guess there was an update t TB and now when I reply or forward an email, the font size of the text is tiny. I also found that the font size for just viewing the body text of an email was tiny, but I was able to fix that. But for the font size in the body of a reply or forwarded email is tiny and I have gone thru all the settings for hours with no luck. Any help much appreciated.

The last update to 156.0.1 changed my inbox settings.

Previously when I would highlight an email in my inbox it would show it read and show a preview in the lower frame. Now the email stays in BOLD and there is no preview frame. Where do I change it my Inbox back like it was previously? How do I change the setting so that when I highlight an email in my inbox it shows read and shows a preview in a preview frame?

Desktop Windows 11 Thunderbird 156.0.1

I have configured the message columns in the Message List pane for all the folders the way I want them. Unfortunately, Thunderbird frequently changes the columns in some, but not all, of the folders back to the default column configuration.

To temporarily fix this, I click on the column picker button in the folder that has the column configuration I want and select "Apply columns to > Folders and its children > " my top level folder. I also repeat this and select "Apply current view to > Folders and its children >" my top level folder. Sometimes this corrects the column organization in all my folders, but I usually have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get the columns arranged the way I want them in ALL my folders. This lasts a few days before Thunderbird again returns the message columns in SOME of my folders to the default configuration. I then have to repeat the above procedure multiple times to get them the way I want, only to have to do this again in a few days.

How do I stop Thunderbird from making these changes, or how do I change the default column setting to the way I want it, not the way Thunderbird wants it?

This is not a new issue for me. I've been dealing with this for quite some time over many Thunderbird versions.

After several hours of trying to figure out why a folder didn't show certain messages, I realised that I had selected a Custom View a few days ago and it still applied quietly when I selected that folder. This is not the first time I fall for it. Is there a way TB would show that a Custom View filtered out some of the messages? Eg the Custom View button could be depressed, or the background in the messages pane would be different, or something. As it is now, I think I won't use the feature again and save myself hours of scratching my head in the future.

I'm on Windows 11.

Moving Thunderbird to the system tray was working correctly in previous versions, but since the latest update to Thunderbird 1560.1, clicking X sends Thunderbird to the taskbar instead of the system tray.

Thunderbird is not pinned to the taskbar.

I have also tested the setting with the option disabled, restarted Thunderbird completely, then enabled it again and retested. The behaviour is unchanged.

156.0.1 RSS subscriptions function normally Clicking on "Manage Subscriptions" button in "Account Settings - RSS" does nothing. Running in Troubleshooting Mode doesn't help.

Thanks,

I am using Thunderbird on Windows, and I want to hide the yellow “Your privacy is protected” notification bar but still have the privacy protection enabled.

I tried to use a userChrome.css in my Thunderbird profile; here is the path; (C:\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\lz1po89m.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css). I also set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, but the customization does not work.

If anyone can please help and/or advise me on the correct procedure or CSS selector for this version I would be very much appreciated.

Until a couple of days ago, I could single-click on a message and the contents would show up in a column in the same window. Now (presumably because of an upgrade to 156.0.1) this does not work. I have to double-click and then the message appears in a new window or tab ... which I then have to close. Very irritating! The earlier way meant that I could quickly scan through messages with far fewer clicks. Is this how it is now or is there a setting I could use to revert? On my other computer, I still have release 154.0 and I see the earlier (good!) behaviour! Help!

If I type a date for example 24th October, Thunderbird changes what I type to T4th, if I type 22nd, it changes to N2nd, the 5th becomes Tth and so on, I have tried all sorts but I cannot find a fix apart from typing the 22 then leave a space, type th then go back and delete the space, then I have what I want. Also if I press ctrl+B to type in Bold, and let's say I type R9.88, the program changes that to a capital B, and dumps my cursor in the next line, again I have tried all sorts and can't get that fixed.

Lastly, I have done my signature using Account Settings, Signature Text, I have ticked the "Use HTML" and typed my text in three lines, my signature shows as a single line with only a space between.

So, Kind regards Mark Collings Telephone Number Shows as Kind regards Mark Collings Telephone Number.

Can you give guidance and solutions please

Thunderbird by design changes Outlook deleted folder to trash.

Problem with this is that you end up with 2 trash folders.

One for Thunderbird and one from Outlook.

Chnage this so Thunderbird does not change Outlook deleted folder name.

Thunderbird normally displays the number of messages in a folder, near the top of the screen above the list of messages. But somehow, clicking around, I lost that display of the message count and cannot get it back. Wondering if anyone knows how to get that number back, get it show up near the top of the screen. I'm using version 156.0.
