I need help editing the personal dictionary in Thunderbird. Tonight I accidentally told it to save a misspelled word. I clicked on edit in the window, and it brought up my dictionary, but it was way longer than my screen, and I could find no scroll bar. It also would not let me move the dictionary window! Can anyone help me overcome this so I can delete the incorrect word?

Thanks!

Am I right in assuming that it is not possible to save e-mail addresses to the Mac OS address book? If I click on a senders address there is only the option "save to address book" which will save the address in my Thunderbird address book.

So while it is possible to access the Mac address book from Thunderbird and even set it as default for when opening the address book tab it doesn't seem possible to actually save addresses into it.

I would prefer having only one address book instead of two.

(Thunderbird 115.8)

Is it possible to find a way to make Mailing Lists sit at the top of their Address Book by default?

I have looked for an answer but can't seem to find anyone asking this question. I am sure that previous versions (to 102/115) did this naturally but the new versions are different.

For example, in one Address Book I have created a mailing list called Regulars. Previously, all mailing lists show at the top whenever viewing the Address Book, so Regulars would be at the top followed by the first "A" email address. Now, the mailing lists are integrated alphabetically, so that Regulars appears down the list, amongst the "R" emails.

With the contact list now so excessively spread out (yes, I have tried and failed at that unfixable problem), it requires lots of scrolling and searching to find mailing lists. This is illogical, considering the purpose of mailing lists is to make it easy to select a whole group of addresses quickly.

At the moment, I have found a workaround by numbering the list (eg 1. Regulars) but I would prefer to find a way to make the lists behave as they used to. Is that possible?

(I am familiar with userchrome, at a basic level, so I would be able to insert code if necessary).

At least a year ago when I first installed Thunderbird I set it to only mark my emails as read if I did it manually. Now I decided to turn that off and it looks like the option is gone. Is that option gone? Does anyone know where it's at? I can't believe I can't find it or anyone else talking about it.

I've just completed a new install of Thunderbird on a computer (Windows 10 -release 115.8.0 32 bit) and find that the message list does not have the usual columns for From, Date, Subject etc and no column headings. Instead each message in the list has the above message characteristics spaced out over two rows. This format applies to all three Layout Views (Classic, Vertical, and Wide). I prefer the usual column format which allows for more messages to show since only one row is used per message.

How do I get the usual columnar format to show in the message list window? I'be been all over the View and Setup screens and just can't find any function for this.

Thanks, JS

Intro : I find the glaring background is hard on my eyes and the black/dark background seems not right. Trying to soften background with a lighter shades rather than glaring white. I am no IT person but like to dabble on a spare PC to try and get it right.

I have tried applying this method https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1418832 with no change or noticeable damage. Feel as so though its close I have mixed it up a bit with the 2 examples given with half a dozen of my thoughts to no avail. Here is my last .CSS file attempt . See below

I realise I don’t understand all of this and I could go learn all about .CSS Files. I also realise I could spend any amount of time learning it. To not use in the next couple of years and I have forgotten or it has changed again. So please if someone could help me out here. I thank you in advance and appreciate the contributors here for their post that I have used in the past.

Hi,

I have got latest Thunderbird installed with Mail Merge Version 10.4.0 on a Mac. When I try to send a mailmerged email from a CSV (Used automatic or comma separated setting), it throws an error saying "Unsupported Zip file" and gives me links to the Home Page and the Change Log file.

When I accept the error message, it allows me to go into the final mail sending window. However, when clicked the "Start" button, no mail is sent.

Mail merge works without any issue on Windows PC. The issue is with the MAC.

Any help in getting this issue sorted is much appreciated.

I have TB 115.6.0 running on 3 computers (1 desktop and 2 laptops). On 2 computers there is a tiny icon on the right hand side in the menu bar that allows me to switch between the "new and improved" (but utterly horrible), side by side message list and the classic view.

On the laptop I am currently using to write this request, TB 115.6.0 does not have that wonderful little icon and I am condemned to use the side by side display or find another mail client.

Can someone help me find or restore that little icon that gives me a choice or alternatively lets me change the message list display back to its old useful configuration?


As an aside, why do software developers insist on making "improvements" that no one needs or wants?

I have just installed Thunderbird v115.7.0 on Windows 11 for evaluation as a replacement for Outlook. After configuring my Gmail account, I was happy to find that it automatically synchronised with my Gmail address book and calendar.

The address book is nicely formatted and correctly displays all my data. When I attempted to copy a phone number, however, Thunderbird requested that I should link an application to the "tel file". I wished to link to Microsoft Phone Link but could not find a way to do this. As an alternative, I linked it to Notepad, hoping that I could then copy and paste the number. The was unsuccessful. Notepad opens but displays an error message: "Cannot find the C:\Program Files\Monzilla Thunderbird\tel.txt file".

Which applications does the link support and how can I change the configuration? I would be content if I could simply copy the nymber.
