Thunderbird Community Forum

Latest version on W10 desktop machine.

1. Setting to open message in a new window does not work. Insists on making a new tab instead.

2. When Thunderbird window is active, kills attempts to use desktop icons for other programs.

3. Cannot minimize Thunderbird via taskbar. Have to hit minimize(-) from window.

Can any of these be remedied?

Hi I was using TB 142 without problems. When upgrading to 143 ou 144.B4 I have problems sending mails to all users after some times. Usually the first mails are sent immediatly but after around 10 mails, I have very slow response (varies from 5 sec to more than 1 minute and sometimes timeout). Usually quitting TB solves the problem but this is very annoying. I went back to 140LTS and sems to have no longer this problem. This was tested on many diffrent networks. I am running under Fedora release 42

Thanks

I have a message that is still listed after being deleted. When I highlight the messages listed above it and below it, I can see their contents with no problem. However, when I click on the "ghost message" listing in between them, I will see the contents of the last message viewed, not the contents of the ghost message that is highlighted.

Also, when I first open Thunderbird and highlight that ghost message first, the review pane is blank, like there is no message there. Then if I click on a different message, that message's contents will show in the preview pane. Then when I go back and click on the the ghost message listing, that pane is still showing the previous message's contents.

When I click on "delete" message, I get the constant blue indicator light in the lower right glowing and nothing happens.

I noticed that I can't see the end of any longer email messages and realized that the Status bar is missing in the email window, too. Changing the relevant setting in the menu didn't do anything. The Status bar is visible in other tabs. When I hid the Today Pane (Events & Tasks), the status bar came back. When I displayed it, Status bar disappeared again. With longer email messages, it is impossible to view the complete message, because the message window seems to extend below the screen bottom. Hiding Windows task bar doesn't help.

Help, how can I have my status bar and read the messages without opening them in a new window, without having to hide the Today pane?
