I've used Thunderbird on a pc for decades, love it. Today when I opened it, the 'top level' of folders is entirely missing, it shows only Local folders. I've checked that 'Folder Modes' is set to All Folders, and now I don't know what else to try. Any advice greatly welcomed, I'm struggling to get work done using webmail or phone!

Auf der Öffnungsseite erscheint normalerweise links ein schmaler Streifen mit den ganzen Ordnern, wie Posteingang, gesendet usw. mit der jeweiligen Anzahl der E-Mails. Im übrigen Feld rechts daneben sind alle E-Mails einzeln aufgeführt. Jetzt erscheint manchmal auf der Öffnungsseite eine andere Ansicht, ähnlich wie die Konteneinstellungen. Mit mehreren Versuchen kreuz und quer gelingt es dann wieder die normale Ansicht zu erhalten. Vermutlich habe ich mal irgendeine falsche Taste gedrückt, so daß sich die Ansicht plötzlich geändert hat. Könnte sich das Problem lösen, wenn ich Thunderbird neu installiere oder gibt es eine einfachere Lösung?

I'm having problems with my default email account in thunderbird which might have started with the 28/10 update. Most times when I open TB the default account has no folders (inbox, spam, etc). To get them to appear I have to restart it. At other times it has all the folders present and all expanded including archives. When I can access my inbox the sort order is always by date descending so the oldest email is at the top which I don't want. If I click it to set it to ascending order it sets back to descending the next time I open TB. I've tried repairing the inbox but it makes no difference.

Wenn ich im Terminkalender einen Termin neu eintrage oder bearbeite erschnt ein Bearbeitungsfenster. Darin sind alle Eintragungen weiß auf schwarzem Hintergrund (OK).

Nur im Teilbereich "Beschreibung" erscheint seit einigen Wochen der Text schwarz auf schwarzem Hintergrund und ist daher nicht lesbar. Erst wenn dieser Text markiert wird, erscheint er gut lesbar weiß auf blauem Hintergrund.

Wie kann ich die Schriftfarbe hier wieder zu weiß auf schwarzem Hintergrund ändern?

Either Thunderbird filter function is extremely buggy, or there is something that I don't understand ... Some filters work pretty fine (though not always reliable) for years, an then suddenly they stop working. E.g. I have a filter (see screen shot) that's supposed to move all eMails with senders that are not in one of my Cardbooks to a special folder (Prüfen) and tag them.

This filter worked for many years - well let's say fairly. About 50% of the Mails that applied to the filter rules were marked and moves correctly, 50% wasn't. And about 10% of the Mails marked and moved didn't meet the rules ... Seemed to be some timeout problem, because when applied manually it did what it should.

Since the last update the filter doesn't work at all, when new messages are downloaded. If I apply the filter manually it marks all Mails, regardless of the rules - and it doesn't move any of them ....

It's a rat race ... I already thought of deleting all filters in Thunderbird and do all the filtering on the Mail-Server. But unfortunately the filter functions of my provider are rather limited. Now I'm wondering: Should I change my Provider, or rather my eMail-Client or both of them? It's really frustrating ...

Over the past couple of days, I've discovered new mail in my inbox but the new mail icon (with the red dot) doesn't show in the system tray.

I get notifications of new mail, which is fine if I'm sitting at the computer. But the icon in my system tray doesn't change, so I never know if mail has arrived while I was away.

I've tried everything - both in Thunderbird settings and Windows system tray settings - and nothing is making a difference.

Is this happening to anyone else? Might it be a bug?

Where I live recently changed to a new timezone and while windows is set to the correct timezone, firefox did not get the memo and timestamps on every website are now an hour behind. I do use a vpn but turning it off or changing locations does not change the timestamps. I have tried restarting the browser and already confirmed privacy.resistFingerprinting is set to false.

How can I change the time in firefox or force firefox to sync to my windows time?

First, I dont want the Autora launcher. Nobody I know does. Let me turn it off on the settings instead of in the about;config. I already know 1 person in my circle that moved on from Firefox because of it.

Second, the browser just asked me if Firefox is giving me issues. I said yes. It said leave feedback. I clicked it. It didn't let me leave feedback. What the helly man....it feels like nobody went, lets make a button and see what it actually does aka untested vibe coded AI slop. I ended up clicking a bunch of buttons and ended up here. Stop making Firefox worse. It's not how you're gonna get more customers. If you are dead set on contantly changing stuff at least let me turn it off easily like you did with the AI stuff.

Speaking of, third, the settings are a lot less clear to me compared to 2ish years ago. I don't know what happened but I was always able to find everything but now I struggle getting to the right page.

What I'm trying to say is, please don't make me go back to Chrome. I like supporting the alternative but if you're actively gonna make it worse I probably will just like my buddy already did.

There is an entry: browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation However it is some nonsensical coded entry: 9OZ32sF7u5y7 I do not know if it can be replaced with a folder name.

Usually when I open mail, there are boxes next to each email that I can click to delete. They are gone and I have on the left side a vertical list of tabs that begin with Mail, Calendar, and People and others follow. This panel was not there before and I cannot figure out how to remove it--I think this will restore the boxes I use to delete emails.

Over the last couple of days the general appearance / layout of Thunderbird has changed for me. I have attached a screenshot of how it appears now, previously under the 2 talktalk e-mail addresses I had a number of additional folders I also, under SPAM, had spam folders for each e-mail address, in fact I had 2 for each of the talktalk addresses.

I first noticed the changes yesterday but after shutting Thunderbird down I got most of the old layout back, but today I see only what is in the image.

Is this some sort of an update or has my installation been corrupted in some way.

I installed Thunderbird for Android on a Samsung Z Fold 7 with the latest version of Android and One UI. None of my messages show the thread in the actual message nor do they show the conversation view in the message list. All I get is the single message with nothing else included. Conversation view is selected in my general settings.
