Thunderbird Community Forum

Sometimes an email I receive contains text whose right margin and text is chopped off. I thought this was because the emails were formatted for Google's gmail, but I just received an email from Thunderbird itself that is truncated this way. What's going on?

I'm enclosing a screen shot. I can also send the .eml file if that's helpful.

I already have View > Sort by > Date is selected, View > Sort by > Descending selected, and thread sorting set in settings. See screenshots. Threads sorting so newest is at the bottom, they should be at the top. General emails are sorting properly, newest at the top.

I don't use Archives or Templates. There is no folder on my servers that correspond to these and they are not subscribed in my IMAP settings.

They don't appear in the per-account view. But they somehow appear in the unified folder view.

I am not able to figure out how to make them disappear.

Help.

Have been using Thunderbird and Firefox for decades, naturally, and have several email accounts. Within each account, I'm a prolific user of folders within the respective Inboxes. For years, these folders have remained in Alphabetical Order, as when they were set up. Recently, however, for no reason that I can suss, the sub-folders in the Inbox of one of my accounts have been gone "all agley", ie. they're listed all higgledy-piggledy in random order. This isn't a problem for my message filter - but it's a real problem for me, having to scan down a very long, disorganised list to find any particular folder I want to open. I've searched for an instruction to instruct Thunderbird to arrange the Folders in my Inbox in Alphabetical Order and can't find anything. Can anyone help me, please. Many thanks in anticipation to all you helpful Thunderbird Users and Contributors. Cathleen (London, UK)

It would be great if you could help me restore the view and, consequently, access to my email accounts in Thunderbird under the circumstances described. Thank you!

Hi,

I am looking for the option to have each email row display ~3-5 lines of preview text directly under the subject line in inbox pane. Without it, it's very difficult to manage the email load.

How do I do that?

Ich benutze Thunderbird gewühnlich in Deutschland und bin jetzt in Chile (+4 Stunden). Das Notebook zeigt die chilenische Zeit an (CLT), die Nachrichten werden aber mit UTC, also +3 Stunden, gespeichert und angezeigt. Wie kann ich die Zeiten der Bearbeitung und Speicherung in CLT (wahlweise in MEZ, deutsche Zeit) speichern.

Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????

I have found in the settings where it looks like I can increase the font size to better see and read my emails, but it does not affect what I have.

How to increase font size to make reading easier?

Here's the big problem. At some point suddenly all of the email message thread with a person start lining up in one email. If it's all lined up chronologically, then I can get through to whatever the part or date I want to read again, however, for whatever the crazy reasons, in some parts, it's not chronological and older dates are all mixed up, and it's giving me hell!!! I asked how I can make it all separate, my friend told me to do:

to me try this, i found this as solution, but dont know how it will look after you vhange, Maybe to try other gmail application?

Turn off Conversation View:

   Settings → “See all settings” → General → Conversation View → Off
   This shows every email separately, strictly sorted by date.

But under 'General', there is no 'Conversation View', what the heck??? 😩

I can't quickly find a way into my Thunderbird emails since they stopped putting an email icon on the opening pages. Why did they do that and how do I get into my email quick enough to verify my identity in everything else?
