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 Win11, Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0, and several accounts (The box below won't take anything past "Thunderbird Window.")

I'm looking for some way to make a different ring either for one of the accounts or for certain domains or for a subfolder -- any way that I'll know when something comes in from specific domains. The special ring(s) can be for each of the two domains or both of them. Can that be done?

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.

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.

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.

Hi, in the vpn buil't in, it's not possible to change location (on Firefox android) however in the help that's indicated it should be, did I miss something ? thank you

On early version of Thunderbird on Windows 7 I see the mesage window below the header window. I would like to see the same on the later version on Windows 10 and 11. So far I've been unable to find a control to do that.

This just started today. I am seeing question marks between the sentences in my messages. I had this issue a number of years ago and do not remember the fix. I am running the latest version on my Windows 7 desktop. It is just the new messages not the older ones in file.

Anyone remember the fix?

Thanks

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

How can I specify which Thunderbird account is used when MAILTO is used in html? I know I can change the account to what I want after the new message window comes up but I always forget.

How do I make (set) TB to open a new window NOT a tab? It continues to open tabs which I don't like nor see, thereby I close TB not the tab I didn't notice (nor use)

Every time I start TB on Windows 10, I am seeing "Compact folders". The prompt is offering to save around 310MB, but no matter how many times I select COMPACT NOW, I still get the prompt next time.

I have tried:

 - compact all folders in all accounts
 - Repair Folders in all accounts, all folders (which took a while! I have 10 email accounts)
 - deleting global-messages-db.sqlite

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated. Email is still working fine, I am just trying to get rid of the never ending prompt.

TB version 147.0 (yes, I know, I know. But I have made it look exactly how I want, so I avoid regular updates unless absolutely necessary.) Thanks.

Why wouldn't 'BOOKMARKS" be the first (1st!) option instead of stupid never used history? Who let their 3 year old make this change??? I could not find a way to remove history from this useless section...only BOOKMARKS should be easier to find since we all use it the most.

The Bookmarks is the MOST important AND MOST OFTEN USED feature and should be back on top...so annoying and unnecessary!

I've been using Thunderbird version 155.0 with only a few issues (reported in other posts).

To investigate one of the issues I've had to create a new profile for testing. I've managed to set everything up except for my default font for outgoing emails. If I send an email with say, four lines of text, I can format each line to be a different font and the received email reflects the different fonts for each line.

But Thunderbird isn't remembering the last selected font. So if I send a second email (without re-selecting any font) the recipient receives it in some naff mono-spaced font. I guess there's somewhere where I can set up the default font for my outgoing emails but I haven't managed to find it yet. Can anyone help?

To begin with, as there isn't an option in the drop down, I thought settings would be the best place to begin.

Hi,

 I'm curious if there is an avenue to customize FF, first for desktop and maybe the mobile,  and possibly even enterprise if accepted, via source. If it is possible, where exactly can I find the code? This is a preliminary question and I do plan to check git. The reason I'm starting here, one may ask of me. The answer is simple enough, like any other enthusiast dev, time is a resource best spent doing something you enjoy. So, where better to ask than the experts and community who may have a link on speed dial. 

Thank you all for any help!

The edit tool bar to set bold, text color and text sze under the "+ new message" is missing. How do I fix?
