I'd like to resize an embedded image in an email. The bottom right handle is on the far right side. If I attempt to hover over the handle a scrollbar obscures the handle: it is not possible to grab it and resize the image.

How do I resize large images in Thunderbird emails?

I tried turning off the add-on and turned off dark mode. I have been successfully using it this way, having to change the font color using font/bkgrnd color control. I have not updated win10 or TB since the last time I used this function. I send out daily emails with findings to a group bcc list. Not complex nor variating.

I went to light mode, turned off JonathanKamen's "Send Later" add-on (which is designed and executes well). Process successfully concluded.

Turned back on "Send Later". Still works.

I prefer dark mode. Documenting for advice and to see proactively if some gap is there in code say for error handling.

Thank you, Greg [redacted phone# from community support forum]

I recently lost all of my saved emails and the folders they are in on my laptop computer. They are fine on my desktop computer. I have tried everything to restore them to my laptop computer. (backup option, export profiles, etc) But when I try to restore them to my laptop nothing works and they are not restored to it. I have tried every option that I used to save them but they will not restore. P.S I have tried every option on Google searches with no luck. I am running Windows 11. As a side note I never had a single problem when I was using Windows 10 and Moz Backup still worked. Help Richard Clauser [redacted from public] @gmail.com

I was adding some filters for senders to move emails to my local folders and such, and then I ran the filters. For whatever reason, when I ran the filters this time, thunderbird also seemingly deleted all emails from some of my web email inboxes. The only one that wasn't affected by this inbox wipe was my school email(gmail provider). How can I prevent this from happening again?

When i am filing/deleting of messages into my local folders after a bit the correspondent and the subject get mismatched somehow.

I had a message from Jane Doe regarding bowling (only reason I would hear from her) after I had deleted her messages, her name started showing up as the coorespondent with subjects such as Rush concert information and here is your order information and a lot (approximately 10) messages that have nothing to do with her.

What should I do. Filing and preserving email is very important to me which is why I picked your product. If I could get it to work effectively without these weird glitches I would happily pay for it.

Side note : If I try to highlight messages in bulk and move them manually to a folder it will move folders and messages and make a big mess. The only way I can do it is to right click to get the little box to show up.

Thunderbird has suddenly gone insane -- "From" information wrong in the header pane

I apologize for the subject line, but there is no better way to describe the problem....

I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now and it has mostly worked well. Then this afternoon I was reading my mail in the Unified Inbox and I noticed something very odd. I had a number of emails showing in the header list with the same "From" and various subject lines. On the face of it, that wouldn't describe any weird behavior except that I noticed the subject lines absolutely didn't match the "From" information.

As I would go to read these emails, the email itself would be correct in the preview pane -- including showing the correct sender name and email -- but the "From" information in the header list pane would still be wrong.

I'm sorry that I can't post a screenshot to make this more clear because there is just too much personal information on screen. But these emails are from several different senders, received by several different email accounts. Everything is correct except that the "From" shown in the header pane is wrong. This is very obvious to me because I normally run entirely in the Unified Inbox with the emails sorted by the "From" information

One example is an email that is actually from "U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs <do-not-reply@notifications.va.gov>" which Thunderbird displays correctly in the preview pane (where I usually read my emails) and if I open the email itself, but the header pane says this email is From "Prepper-co <joshua@prepper-co.com>"

Another example is an email that is actually from "USPS Customer Support <uspscustomersupport@usps.gov>" but the header pane says it is from "Rainier Arms <sales@rainierarms.com" < p></sales@rainierarms.com">

These two examples were received in different email accounts that aren't even on the same server. I have other emails from these same senders that are shown correctly

I found this problem while using 150.0 (64-bit), which said 150.0.1 was available, so I restarted Thunderbird and it updated to 150.0.1 (64-bit) but the problem is the same.

I have a POP3 account which will not download new emails. The indication is there are no new emails. I can access the email account through gmail and there are many new emails. I have checked password. I have gone through the re-indexing procedure and all other possible solutions I could find. I did find some information about Java and incidentally, there was a Java update on the day my emails began to fail, 8-16-2026. I found this error message, but I don't know how or if I can fix this: module is not a constructor ExtensionCommon.sys.mjs:1679:15

When replying to an email, I type the first line of text in the text field and then paragraph (carriage return) using the ENTER key. This causes the first line of text to disappear. This has been happening all day today, several times. Closing and reopening Thunderbird does not solve the problem. Rebooting the device does not solve the problem.
