I like the way that unread message numbers are highlighted in the left hand pane. I miss the unread message number of the selected folder that was in the lower right hand side of the window. What is the maximum number of messages that can be in a folder? With the new version when I delete a message or move a message to a folder the message window jumps to a new location. I have to scroll back up to get to the next unread message. This should be fixed, the last version did not do this.

Hi, I started using Thunderbird recently to get my emails from Hotmail on my computer. I had Outlook 2010, but it is not supported anymore.

I noticed immediately that all my emails on Hotmail would show as read, but Thunderbird would show them unread, until I actually open them.

I have updated Thunderbird on various times and my current version is 115.3.0, but still the same issue. I have searched for solutions on the web and I do not have Bitdefender on my computer, that I know of, so the solutions I have seen, do not work for my case.

Is there any settings or scripts that I need to change in order for my Hotmail messages on show as read when I actually read them on the Outlook website?

Please help. Thanks, JD

Hello Thunderbird-Team,

if you watch this screen-video - see the link:

, you will see soon the problem I had since the latest update. There is not an automatic line feed at the end of the visible frame, but somewhere later. You can easily understand, that this is a real problem, as you need to write some words blind, without having the chance to check this.

Remark: Due to ALS, I have to use the eye-tracker to write, as well as a special software. But the situation is the same, also with a standard keyboard.

I hope to find a checkbox in program-settings, which may solve this problem, but I didn't find.

What to do? Maybe "down-date" to the former version of thunderbird, in which everything was okay, with a line feet automatically at the end of the visible line?

Unified folder and IMAP servers with all folders under INBOX/ behave wrong & randomly

I have an imap server (provider is LaPoste...) whose system folders are under INBOX/ (OUTBOX, JUNK, DRAFT, QUARANTAINE) instead of being at the root.

I have multiple TB clients, but the main one stores every sent mail in a local "Sent" folder while other mobile clients (other TB or smartphone native) leave them online in the default system places INBOX/OUTBOX. On the main TB client, I have configured unified folders to look for imap's INBOX/OUTBOX and the local "Sent" folders.

As expected, the "Sent" unified folder has a "Local Folder" subfolder which point to the local "Sent" folder but there is no other subfolder for that "LaPoste" account. Still, all INBOX/OUTBOX messages are directly under the root of the "Sent" unified folder.

Then this is where it becomes very confusing: what is being displayed under the unified "Inbox" and the folder for that LaPoste account changes kind of randomly after a TB restarts and during its's runtime., with 2 main cases:

1- The unified "InBox/LaPoste" folder shows OUTBOX, DRAFT, QUARANTAINE subfolders. They are populated with what's expected there but in that case, the "LaPoste" folder in the unified view is missing. I confirm that in the unified InBox properties, OUTBOX, DRAFT and QUARANTAINE of LaPoste are **not** checked

2- The unified "InBox/LaPoste" folder has no subfolder and in that case there is a "LaPoste" root folder in unified view with underneath OUTBOX, DRAFT, QUARANTAINE.

3- The unified "InBox" folder has no subfolder "LaPoste" but the messages from that account are still visible in unified "InBox". Then there is in unified view a "LaPoste" subfolder that will contain "OUTBOX", but not "INBOX"

I have **never** seen a "LaPoste" subfolder under the unified "Sent" folder.

If I use any other provider (say outlook) with a root folder structure that has a "Sent" folder and I do exactly as above, then this works as expected:

- Under the unified "Sent" there is an "<outlook_account>" folder where I can see the messages still in the imap boxes. There is also still the "Local Folder" subfolder that points to the local "Sent" folder where I can see messages sent from the main client. - The unified view for "<outlook_account>" displays all remaining folders that have not been "allocated" to a unified folder for that account.

NB: I had opened another question that was around the same topic but with a poor description, so I closed it, sorry about that.

When I go through my email list, I delete the currently highlighted (selected) email by using the delete button or clicking on the delete button above the email message.

As I do this, every few messages, instead of just the selected email being deleted, another email higher up the list (newer in the list) also gets deleted.

I have noticed this with a recent update of Thunderbird in the last month or two.

Thunderbird appears to be installed and working correctly. I'd like to backup my profile and be able to repair it if needed. I installed Thunderbird 115.2.3 through the Windows App store. I believe that the program is actually installed at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps, which I cannot access even with elevated authority without disabling permissions I don't understand. I am reluctant to do this.

The Help > Troubleshooting Information page shows a < Open Folder > for my profile, but when I click it it says that C:/users/xxxxxxxx/Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/... doesn't exist. The File Explorer shows there is no C:\users\...\Thunderbird folder. How should I proceed?

Additional information:

I discovered this because I wanted to make a shortcut to put in my Startup folder (C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) and couldn't find the program anywhere. There are 2 executable files ("*.exe") with a size of 0 bytes that I was able to find use to create a shortcut at: C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\MozillaThunderbird.xxxxxxxx It should be easy to create a shortcut for an executable.

Starting thunderbird at a command prompt to show the profiles says there are 2 profiles labelled < default-release > and <default >. default-release is highlighted.

I am trying to re-establish one of my email accounts in Thunderbird using a new OS (fresh install for both OS and Thunderbird). Auto settings work just fine until it gets to verifying my password where it fails. This is a password that was used for a previous account in Thunderbird on my previous OS where it worked without issue. I can go to my provider and log in using this password without issue. I have not yet tried changing the password as I can't rationalize why that should matter. Actually, I logged onto this site using that password. So, I know it works.
