Thunderbird is opening email as a New Message from Template instead of just reading it

When I double click on an email in my inbox, a new reply email is being displayed with a yellow message across the bottom saying:

   "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity XXXXXXXXXX."

This happens only on my default account.

What can I do to get the email opened in a new tab as a default? See the attached context menus

Thunderbird: 140.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro

I was forced to erase my PC because it was infected with malware. I saved my Tbird profile to my HDD before erasing. I pasted the saved profile to %Appdata% >Thunderbird, copying 1,777 items. When I brought up Tbird, I got the Account Setup window, so I don't think the profile was actually there. What did I do wrong?

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to move some eMails from the inbox to one specific Storage Folder. I seem to be able to move messages to any Storage Folder I want, except for this one, single Storage Folder.

There must be something in that Storage Folder settings that deny a move. What could it be?

How is this supposed to work? I am hoping to have a couple of folders from my IMAP configured email account automatically synchronized to LOCAL FOLDERS. But under the 'Synchronization' tab there are not a lot of options, and really only a 'download' button. But does that really synchronize? prevent duplicates? Someone smarter than me, please advise? Thanks in advance John

Thunderbird centering text in email composer

I'm using version 140.0.1esr on macOS Sequoia 15.3.2. The problem is very simple. When I compose an email, hitting return puts me at the center of the next blank line. If I type, the text is all centered from this point on. Thunderbird didn't do this in the past, so I either inadvertently changed a setting, or the behavior of Thunderbird has recently changed.

I really have no desire to spend time getting to know Thunderbird better. Like most people, I want to compose completely unstructured text-based email. (If I ever wished to add structures, which I doubt I ever will, I'd prefer markdown to HTML, like everyone else in the known universe ...)

Ideally: there is an easy fix by changing a setting. Second best: There is an alternative email program to Thunderbird, perhaps text based, that can read Thunderbird mail archives. Third option: There is an early version of Thunderbird that still runs on current versions of Mac, before Thunderbird began including text formatting in email composition (along with all of the other distractions that have be degrading the quality of Thunderbird for a very, very long time).

THUNDERBIRD ISSUE W/ CALENDAR & EMAIL ADDRESSING

I have used Thunderbird for years. Within the last couple of weeks I have noted 2 issues. 1st is the calendar issue with Reminder function. Reminder that have been listed w/ reminders, and repeated, for awhile, suddenly don't have the REMINDERS activate. They have in the past. Now, old events with REMINDERS, don't have the reminders activating. Nothing on the event listing has changed. I have reentered the event listing with no success in getting the reminder to activate. Interestingly enough, it doesn't affect ALL the events: just some. Same with ALL NEW EVENTS. Sometimes the event reminder activates and sometime not. Checked all the settings, version is up to date. I'm flummoxed.

2nd is addressing email. Names I have had in my address book for years, while coming in during auto-fill, are asterisked as not in the address book. I have reentered an asterisked listing but it still shows as not in the address book. Once again, it doesn't affect all listing, just some. I haven't anything & the version is up to date.

I've got a gremlin somewhere, but not adept enough to take a deep dive into operational settings.
