Thunderbird Community Forum

Good afternoon

I have been struggling to find some messages specific to specific dates and spend an awful amount of time tryomh yo access the correct one.

The solution proposed is a bit unclear to me, as it refers to "future folders". I need to unthread all my messages. Is this possible?

Thanks

PS The only version number i could find was for Firefox. There does not seem to be one for Thunderbird.

I have Win11, Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0, and several accounts (The box below won't take anything past "Thunderbird Window.")

I'm looking for some way to make a different ring either for one of the accounts or for certain domains or for a subfolder -- any way that I'll know when something comes in from specific domains. The special ring(s) can be for each of the two domains or both of them. Can that be done?

I have "Allow remote content in messages" turned off. However I receive many messages for which I wish to allow it for that message. I do so and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is to have TB learn the message senders for whom I have allowed remote content so I don't have to click it every time. Is this a feature that is available that I am missing, or is it just not possible?

If not possible, please advise as I will submit for an enhancement.

How can I specify which Thunderbird account is used when MAILTO is used in html? I know I can change the account to what I want after the new message window comes up but I always forget.

Notification requests I would like Thunderbird to 1) notify me that I have received new email(s) even before I have opened Thunderbird. Partly by changing the icon on the taskbar and partly by playing a sound. And 2) also retrieve the emails that are there automatically when I open Thunderbird. Is that possible? How do I do that?

I know that to view the composition toolbar, I need to open up a new message, then click View, and then click Toolbars. However, what do I do if the Menu Bar is also now visible? See attached screenshot.

Since reinstalling Thunderbird and Firefox, When i get an email in my Thunderbird email listing, clicking a link does not open it so I have to copy it and open it in Firefox.

I have two Gmail accounts and one school account that uses Office 365. In the left panel where the inbox, drafts, etc. are, the Gmail accounts are listed in blue but the school account is listed in white. I can't see any reason for this difference in the accounts' settings. What does the difference indicate?

In Thunderbird, how can I stop text in the previous emails in a string turning blue?

I have looked everywhere in Settings where colour is mentioned and everything is set to black text on a white background. Nothing is set to blue.

I do not want to see blue text anywhere.

Please advise.

A couple nights ago I updated from 140.13.0esr to 140.14.1esr, then for haha's, I checked for updates again and it took the big 153.1.1esr 'Meadow' update, now it won't play the selected email notification sound that it has been playing for the last 20+ years. It will play the 'Default system sound for new email' or any other sound file in my Media folder, old ones or brand new ones I put in there, but it will not play the one that it has been playing for the past 20+ years. I delete it and add a new copy of it and it will not play that one .wav file, plays everything else, but not that one.

I have installed Thunderbird 154 in Linux Xubuntu 26.04 and I have Thunderbird working fine except for the scrollbar arrow buttons. I was able to set the scrollbars to always show but arrows do not show. What do I need to set to bring those arrow buttons back?

Hello All, I'm desperately trying to set my uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird to have Body Text as default. All suggestions online are outdated and don't work since suggested places in settings and account settings are not existing anymore. I have a machine at home with Thunderbird and it has Body Text as default. How on earth can I get there? Thanks

I have a folder called "imap://[username]@imap.ionos.co.uk/Sent Items". Its name, however, as displayed is "Sent", and this cannot be changed anywhere (that I can see). This is tedious because I also have a folder called "imap://[username]@imap.ionos.co.uk/Sent" which is also displayed as "Sent". This latter one seems to be a system-generated folder. This has only been an issue in relatively recent releases, previously I have been able to see "Sent Items" and "Sent" in the folder lists.

Is this a known issue? Is there is a fix? It seems like there ought to be. All I want is for the same folder name to be displayed as in the string beginning "imap: ... "

I'm looking for a possibility to customize the font size of OUTGOING mails (not the incoming, these I could already change). For example, what term should I search for in the advanced settings?

Hello. There is no longer a Compose button by my folders on the main email screen. I can go up top to the Menu bar and click on Message, but there used to be a compose button right there on the page...how do I get this back?

I circled in yellow the area I thought there used to be a compose button,

I recently migrated to Linux and was able to reinstall my Thunderbird account. However in the previous MS windows version I was able 'choose 'the font as well as other basics for each account signature. In the version I now have it is purely a default font. I tried the forum solution which was to create a message in html then copy it in- didn't work. i don't want to have to add a file everytime when it wasn't necessary before? I want a different signature for 5 different purpose accounts. Why can't I do this in this version of Thunderbird? I also no longer see what font I am in. I just created a dummy email and chose a font. I doubt that will be in place for my next message ie it doesn't offer a default option as outlook would

This is simple. Getting here is not. The issue is the zoom feature which many years ago I could not find. Now it is available and that is great, except: The CTRL + and CTRL - do not work until you first use the function in the menu. Once I use it in the menu I can use the key stroke several times to get it where I can read it. Every time though I have to go to the View function in the menu first. Simple fix.
