Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

I have "Allow remote content in messages" turned off. However I receive many messages for which I wish to allow it for that message. I do so and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is to have TB learn the message senders for whom I have allowed remote content so I don't have to click it every time. Is this a feature that is available that I am missing, or is it just not possible?

If not possible, please advise as I will submit for an enhancement.

My folders are in disarray and it is cutting into my productivity to file emails. I have tried but it in settings but it doesn't work. Many are in alpha order but there are 2 different two different sections of the same name, and some odd files end up in an alphabetized section.

For instance there are 2 different ZBV sections with other stray folders in the same area that should be in there own alpha folder area. It's a mess to find the right folder. I have to scroll up and own and look for the folder I need to file in. I would be happy to donate, and i have in the past, but I really need this to get fixed. Please, please, please...

Sometimes an email I receive contains text whose right margin and text is chopped off. I thought this was because the emails were formatted for Google's gmail, but I just received an email from Thunderbird itself that is truncated this way. What's going on?

I'm enclosing a screen shot. I can also send the .eml file if that's helpful.

My Thunderbird does look strange, though it works alright. It annoys me, there are black-gray rectanguler spots left top and bottom. It dissapears when in full screen mode. It is not in any other program. I add a picture. Is there anybody who knows how to solve this. Thanks, Hans, Netherlands

Good afternoon

I have been struggling to find some messages specific to specific dates and spend an awful amount of time tryomh yo access the correct one.

The solution proposed is a bit unclear to me, as it refers to "future folders". I need to unthread all my messages. Is this possible?

Thanks

PS The only version number i could find was for Firefox. There does not seem to be one for Thunderbird.

154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

I spend the last hour or so in sheer panic and doubting my sanitiy as an email I was just reading disappeared from every mailbox I have here (I have 8 mailboxes in Thunderbird) . Also for whatever reason search is missing from the title bar.

The email was "archived" by Thunderbird inthe "Local Folders" I never use local folders as local folders is silly in 2026 imo. I have my own mailserver which is perfectly save and backuped and stuf I don't need yet another location were mail can hide.

Anyway that was a bit of a rant. This would not have happend if this sille ¨Local Folders" didn´t exist at all. But I seem unable to get rid of it.

How do I remove ¨Local Folders" from Thunderbird?

I've been a Netscape-based user for almost as long as home IT has been around. Am attempting to finally take the plunge and get away from the Seamonkey Suite to use just Thunderbird for emails, and the wife would like some of the same viewing pane colors to be the same as she's used to.

Following assorted online suggestions for enabling the use of 'userChrome.css' to change the background colors of folderPane, threadPane and messagePane aren't having any effect. I've:

  • Set 'toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets' to TRUE
  • Created 'chrome' folder and specimen .CSS file
  • Added color values for the above properties
  • Restarted TBird after each setting change attempt, but no views are changing

I've also attempted to make heads/tails out of guidance for using Debugging Tools to inspect elements to find/verify the current names of properties that I want to change, but have not been able to work that out.

I'm not a complete IT novice--I am a 20-yr sysadmin, not a developer. I can write PowerShell, but no HTML experience. Take pity on an old man?

Hi,

I have been using Thunderbird as my preferred email client since around 2004 on Linux, macOS and Windows.

I am current running Thunderbird 150.0.2 64-bit on macOS Tahoe 26.5 ( Intel ).

When I attempt to create a new 'Folder' or 'Sub Folder' on either an iMAP account or, more importantly, my 'Local Folder' the displayed dialogue box is sized incorrectly and I am unable to complete the action.

Specifically I can type into the 'Name' text box and see the 'Create as a subfolder of" drop down dialogue but the two buttons below are barely visible and I cannot select either with my mouse. Nor can I resize the dialogue box itself [ make larger ] to enable to be select either button.

I can use the <TAB> key to cycle thorough the various items and the <RETURN> key to select an option.

I have attached a sample image of the issue.

Thanks.

Subject: Persistent Column and Folder Layout Issues — Not Being Saved Between Sessions

This is a follow-up to my previous support requests regarding two ongoing problems that significantly impact daily usability.

Column Settings I manage multiple accounts, and my preferred column layout is: Starred, Read Status, Attachment, Subject, From, and Date/Time. I do not use Threads, Correspondents, or Spam Status columns. Despite setting these preferences repeatedly, Thunderbird fails to retain them. Every day I must spend time reconfiguring columns across some or all of my accounts — the state varies unpredictably from one session to the next. This is a persistent, daily frustration that costs meaningful time. Most other major email clients save and reliably maintain column preferences. I'd expect Thunderbird to do the same.

Folder Panel Layout Two problems occur regularly when Thunderbird loads:

Folder order — Standard system folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, All Mail, Trash, Spam) should appear at the top of each account. Instead, Sent, All Mail, Trash, and/or Spam are frequently scattered among custom folders, with no apparent consistency.

Folder expansion — Most or all folders load in an expanded state, exposing every nested sub-folder regardless of whether they contain unread mail. This creates unnecessary visual clutter and requires manual collapsing each session.

Again, this behavior is uncommon in other widely-used email clients. Summary These are not one-time glitches — they recur daily and represent a significant usability gap. I'd appreciate confirmation that these are known issues being tracked, or guidance on a reliable fix. Reformatting the interface every morning is not a reasonable expectation for users.
