As it turns out, my LOCAL FOLDERS is a sub-file in my account. I have a whole bunch of sub-files within the LOCAL FOLDERS sub-file. When I right click on that file, it does not give me the option to reorganize (re-alphabetize) that sub-file. In other words, I want to reorganize the sub-files of a sub-file. Is this just not an option, or is there a way to do this?

Running Thunderbird 140.5.0esr

This has been happening for a few weeks now somewhat randomly. The folders under Mail for one of my accounts keep moving around and are not in alphabetical order anymore. Most folders are OK, but a few either jump to the top of bottom of the list. I can manually drag them back, only for different folders to do it the next time.

The folders in questions are 2 levels down from Mail.

Forwarded emails contain no signature, either above or below the forwarded email body.

No means exists in settings to specify that a signature should be in forwarded emails.

Thunderbird resists configuration for included signatures specified in the configuration editor.

Is there a reason that settings, such as columns, layout, ordering, folder colours, etc. are not retained in the msf itself?

I have to use multiple machines, so tend to have an archive that I share across them as the primary storage of emails. However, nothing is retained between machines which is a bit annoying when trying to colour code for easy visual cues. So it seems clear that this information is currently stored in the local profile, even though the archive data is a filesystem.

Hi I have 2 gmail accounts set up in TB. Neither of which are my daily accounts.

I've noticed that both of them put a copy of any email I receive into archives, as well as my inbox. I've checked my account settings & they're identical to those of all my other email accounts.

Not only that, but one of the accounts puts every email I receive into inbox, archive AND archive for that email address, so basically, I'm getting 3 copies of all those emails.

What I want to happen is what happens for all my other emails. They arrive into inbox & I put them in local folders/delete as appropriate

All help gratefully received Thanks

The folders in my "LOCAL FOLDER" file usually have been in alphabetical order. As I have added new folders to store emails, the new folders have not been put in alphabetical order in the "LOCAL FOLDER" folder. They have been added to the end of the original list after the "Z" items. How do I re-alphabetize the whole "LOCAL FOLDER?"

Hi there. This morning the Customized Menu Bar in my T-Bird was there, as confirmed by my wife... and then it wasn't. No idea what happened. I spent a long while poking around to try to find what had been inadvertently changed, and came up empty. So, went in to Customize Toolbars and rebuilt the Mail toolbar as I recalled its layout, as we use it a lot every day. Now it seems to be fine. T-Bird is kinda like Windows, where there's more than one way to do something, and sometimes several paths to the same function. I know there are new Keys, or whatever they're called, that replace or replicate the old Customized Menu Bar. But we have been using T-Bird for ages, and though I've noted all the updates and improvements over the years, we are pretty comfortable with the basics that we use, and have not made many changes. So, we're OK. Just thought it was weird what happened. Thanks for being there. Greg Moehl
