Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

All of the help documentation I've found for importing MBOX emails downloaded from an old Gmail account doesn't match what I'm seeing in my version of Thunderbird (115.3.2). Whether I access "Import" from the Tools or the Local Folders tab, I don't get an option to import mbox (see screenshots).

What am I doing wrong? Am I looking in the wrong place? Did I download my folders/files incorrectly from Gmail in June?

I realize that this forum is made up of Mozilla users. Is there any way to reach any type of support person at Mozilla (specifically for Thunderbird)? What does one do when no one has an answer, or even a suggestion, on how to fix a problem? Is there any way to contact Mozilla, either to ask questions or to make suggestions?

I would like to delete emails in my trash folder automatically after 30 days in the trash bin. I uses POP account settings. I can only find a setting that deletes the trash on exit, but that is too quick. I need more time to recover email from the trash in case I am later alerted to the fact that something I thought was trash turns out to be important. Usually a week or two will suffice. After 30 days, it's a pretty safe bet that anything in the trash is actually trash, so then I want to delete it automatically. Seems like there must be a setting for this somewhere. Anyone know if there is one? If not, how do we request that it be added as an option? Thanks.

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

I used to have an extension or add-on the allowed me to play my own sounds for an incoming email on Thunderbird. However, that seems to have disappeared and I cannot find an add-on that will allow me to to that. I have many sounds that used to work but whenever you do an update to the browser they don't work.

Is there any add-on that you have that will work with my own alerts on Thunderbird or do I need to find another browser?

Hi,

After the new version of Thunderbird came out, I liked some of the new features I have been familiar with, but then decided I wanted to be able to change the general (not reading pane) of the rest of Thunderbird (folder pane background and font color and size, as well as the main preview pane (same like I want to do to the folders pane.

I know I used to do this a long time ago, but my pc has been redone so many times that I just haven't thought about it. Now I wish to do it again. I know there used to be an addon that allowed you to do this, but now I cannot find one that works with the current version to TB.

So, the obvious question is, Is there an addon that allows you to do this?

I read some things that talk about creating a folder, and putting some sort of code in it, but that does not seem like it would simply allow me to do what I wish to do with just the mouse.

Can anyone please explain to me how I can change the background of these panes from black background and white lettering? I'm a bit behind technically with TB, as anything custom I've ever done just used addons.

I welcome all advice I can get.

Thanks!

In the previous version of Thunderbird the Get Messages had a drop down box. That let me chose which account I wanted to get messages from. In version 115.3.1 (32bit) the cloud and arrow icon does not have the drop down box. It just downloads all accounts at once. Please bring back the drop down box choice.

The new updates are horrible

I've been using TBird for a very long time and am thinking of leaving.

Fonts are now tiny. Can't read my mail without a struggle.

Even changing font size to be bigger in settings isn't helping, even after a restart. Fonts in mail are all too small to see. I don't have any system override set either.

Are you trying to drive older / disabled people away? Feels like it.

Please give one-button option for old look.

At this point I want to revert to last version but can't find download for old version.

Can you help me fix this please, or please show me link to get last version, and turn off updating.

For future: allow in updates to keep old look even with security upgrades. (I'd love even the old icon, but I'm sure that's asking a lot.)

IF THE LOOK ISN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT. Making someone modern while tossing old users under the bus doesn't seem like your style, until today.

p.s. I'm sure other people have this problem but it's not clear how to find this forum. I first just replied to one of your tweets, but I doubt that will be read.

Thunderbird just upgraded to "Supernova". I hate it. I'm trying to adjust as many things as I can to make it look normal, but I'm stuck on the font. How can I change the display font used so that my folders and email information (NOT the font used in email messages themselves) is different from the default?

Also, is there any way to change the density or size of just one pane? My email list is too cramped, but if I try to change the size or the density, it changes the the all the panes, and so then my folder list looks way to spread out.

Thunderbird on my Windows 11 PC was updated to 115.3.1 (64-bit). I like my default view to sort by date and grouped by sort. Since the update, all threads default to expanded. I can collapse the "\"; however, when I switch between email accounts, the view is expanded when I come back. Is there any way to set the view back to collapsed? Or should I restore a previous version of Thunderbird?

Thank you!
