Hi,

I use AltSnap and its snap feature a lot because I have multiple 40" TVs as monitors.

That means I often deal with thunderbird floating windows rather than maximized, and I often resize it.

And I notice that my message list is always getting too small !

I realized this is because when you resize the thunderbird window vertically, the preview pane stays a constant size, but it is the message list that resizes.

Over time the message list gets squished out and not even one message is visible.

I think if the message list remained of a constant size during vertical resize and it was the preview pane that got resized along with the window, it would prevent that and the message list would always be, the size that you last set it.

I have attached a screenshot of the retention settings for the Gmail All Mail folder. This folder contains emails that have a date nine years ago. Can you tell me if I did something wrong in the retention settings?

I thought earlier today it was using the retention settings but I just checked and it is not.

The new "Copy Link to Highlight" button shifted the "search with" option down, which I use regularly.

I'm not entirely sure what the new option does, but I would like to either disable it or shift it further down out of the way

Opening new messages has changed from "one click" to "double click" operation.

I'm running Thunderbird Ver 152.0.1 with Windows 11. I have things set up so that I just need a single click to open a program, folder or file.

This also was the case until just recently with Thunderbird. I could open new messages with just a single click. For some reason this has changed to me needing to double click to open new messages.

I don't know why and cannot find any method of changing the software back to single click operation. It is only affecting Thunderbird all the Windows operations still operate with one click.

Can you advise me on how to reset the Thunderbird software to single click operation.

Many thanks. Alan Tierney

Thunderbird links open in a new, clean Edge profile instead of my Default profile

I am experiencing an issue where clicking links inside Thunderbird emails forces Microsoft Edge to launch a completely brand new window with a blank profile (no extensions, default settings). It does not open as a new tab in my active window.

My environment details:

• OS: Windows 11 (Version 25H2) • Default Browser: Microsoft Edge (Only one profile exists under edge://settings/profiles, no Workspaces used). • Thunderbird version: Latest stable release.

When Thunderbird passes the HTTP/HTTPS link to Windows, Edge seems to ignore the standard "Default" user data directory profile and launches a temporary or guest-like profile container instead.

Is this a known bug in how Thunderbird handles external URI handlers, or is it an Edge registry/default app assignment issue? Any help or workaround config settings would be appreciated. Thank you!

Until recently, when I clicked on a link in Thunderbird, it was opened in Thunderbird. Now the link is opened on a wide-screen external monitor. I can't find the setting that was changed to make this difference.
