Is there a setting I can adjust? Or is this just how it is with Gmail?

I love an update when it makes something better. (Isn't that the point?) In the case of Thunderbird 78.4.0, what were they thinking?

You now have to hit Cc and Bcc on each email you write rather than have those fields show up by default, as has been the setup for years? Why?

For multiple Cc's or Bcc's, you have to separate them by a semicolon rather than have a fresh line for each, which to me is easier to read? What's the point of that change?

Is there no way to fix these (ahem) improvements? Terrible!

Thanks to anyone who can smooth this over for me.

Also, in passing, I don't appreciate having auto-update checked by default. That's not how I have ever configured Thunderbird, and settings ought to stay as they were unless there's a reason and the user is notified.

I recently went back from Thunderbird daily to the release channel when I set up my new PC.

1. On opening an email - The Subject display in Daily Version is Bold and according to the font as set in Thunderbird Settings. Just Perfect. It is not the same in the Release Channel. Looks not so nice.

2. In Release Channel -- under settings If I choose to display the "Name Only" under Message List for address display format. It ignores

3. Release channel is ver 146.0.1 .. If I go back to Thunderbird daily .. will I be able to use the same profile used for the Release channel?

With my thanks in advance

I have a new Brother printer MFC-L3780CDW. I can print from Foxfire internet, I can print from Microsoft Word. I can go to my Comcast online account and print emails, but I cannot print an email from Thunderbird from my desk top. I right click the email to bring up the menu. I select print and nothing happens. It dont bring up a print preview window to select printer. It does nothing. My old printer was also a Brother MFC, just an older model. everything worked fine. I called brother and they say since everything else prints it must be a problem in the Thunderbird Application

Is there a way to talk to someone?

I put in what was required, but it didn't work.

And after that, I don't have a clue what to do next.

While I am a management consultant and do not understand how to code and develop software beyond the most surface levels, I wish to contribute this idea towards development of Thunderbird.

One of the most important components of an email client is the editor. There have been many requests for changes in the Thunderbird mail editor in the past. I wish to propose a strategic solution to this issue.

The solution that I offer is that this team of independent contributors builds a word processor like Microsoft Word, does so under the umbrella of Thunderbird, so that there are no copyright issues in using that editor for composing email in Thunderbird, and uses that editor as a stand alone editor as well as an editor for composing emails within Thunderbird.

I am not aware if the Linux Word Processing Editor can be used for Thunderbird as a sharing between two community software initiatives, but that aspect can also be explored by talking directly to Linux.

1) Thunderbird 128.12.0es refuses to disable conversation mode, when View/Sort by/Unthreaded is selected for a folder.

2) Thunderbird 128.12.0es does not show the number of selected messages in the Status Bar when I select multiple messages, instead showing the number of selected conversations.

How can I disable conversation mode?

I don't like threaded conversations view. I turned it off so my inbox doesn't show it any more, but search results do and I find it impossible to find what I need. Is it possible to turn off ALL of those threading features across the entire program? Thanks

I need to talk to a live person, I'm not technical anough to write down what i need. I did something to my Thunderbird email and don't know how to put it back together. I'm Paul [edited phone# from public] I'm willing to pay my email [edited from publiccommunity support forum] @newswithviews.com

Just wondering why our forum posts can't also be black on black, or white on white, etc? Seems like the forum is stuck in the past, still doing the old black on white, as if anyone cares about being able to see the text.

Hi, I'm using Thunderbird version 140.0 on Windows 10 and trying to change the background of the message pane. I've tried:

1. messagepanebox {

   background-color: #e6f3ff !important; 

}

but it only changes the upper part and I can't find a way to target the whole flex container or the lower part. There is a forum response (titled Message preview pane background) that targets the message pane:

1. messagePane {

background-image: url("file:///C:/path to image/image.jpg") !important;}

and that fills the message pane when its blank at startup but it disappears when selecting a message from the list.

I can add the background-color statement to :root in Developer Tools and that only works for the current selected message. How can I change the background of the entire Message Pane - the upper and lower part that contains the contents of the message - for each message that is selected? Thanks, David

Two Questions:

1. I have invested time to setup all my accounts on my mobile after importing the setup from the Thunderbird from Windows desktop. How can I automatically import all of the setup from either my mobile or Windows Machine to my macbook?

2. How can I use Bitwarden password utility on my mozilla Thunderbird? i have checked and there is no add on for it.

why is there no back button on thunderbird? I clicked on a message (have to click twice on it now in the lousy upgrade I was forced to use), and now I can't go back to the inbox. What's up????

Hi,

I use the latest Thunderbird email client 128.2.2esr (64-bit). Microsoft announced that to make it work with outlook all users have to make changes in settings for more security. I did all that they wrote and can receive emails on my .......@outlook.com email address, but I can't send emails due to absence of authentication setting for outgoing server. I attached screenshots FYI. Is it possible to fix this issue? It's required to add authentication setting for outgoing server.

Regards, Leonid.
