Thunderbird Community Forum

First know that I have threading turned on. I am unable to find how to thread several email messages that I know are related. How can I do that even though they may not automatically be threaded by certain wording? Thanks Russ Pond

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

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.

送信したメールは「送信済みファイル」に残っていましたが、急に残らなくなりました。 サイトを見て「送信済ファイル」のフォルダ名をsentに直そうとしましたが変更できません。 フォルダのアイコンは紙飛行機ですが、フォルダの名称の問題でしょうか。 また、設定→アカウント設定→送信控えと特別なフォルダー　の”返信元のメッセージと同じフォルダに 返信を保存する”にチェックしましたが、それでも残りません。 対処方法をご教示ください。 よろしくお願いします。

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?

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

I've encountered a stange issue: By default, a quoted reply is indented to the right with a vertical line on the left side. Since some time, this vertical line disappears when composing a reply - i.e., when clicking "reply", the compose window opens where the vertical reply bar shows up on the left for a split second but then disappears, leaving just the quoted text without indentation or reply bar. Compose in HTML is on, but it shouldn't matter for the reply bar display anyway. Reply quoting is also enabled, of course.

I know the reply bar can be toggled in the config by mail.quoted_graphical and mail.quoteasblock, but both values are already set to true. Setting them to false should completely disable the reply bar, but it shows up for a split second and is "auto-removed" in the compose editor. It's also not just a display issue in the editor because a recipient doesn't see the reply bar either.

Is there anything else I can check? Most likely it can be resolved with a clean profile, but I want to save the pain of setting up everything again if possible. The issue occured over the span of multiple recent TB versions on Windows 10.

I've been a Netscape-based user for almost as long as home IT has been around. Am attempting to finally take the plunge and get away from the Seamonkey Suite to use just Thunderbird for emails, and the wife would like some of the same viewing pane colors to be the same as she's used to.

Following assorted online suggestions for enabling the use of 'userChrome.css' to change the background colors of folderPane, threadPane and messagePane aren't having any effect. I've:

• Set 'toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets' to TRUE
• Created 'chrome' folder and specimen .CSS file
• Added color values for the above properties
• Restarted TBird after each setting change attempt, but no views are changing

I've also attempted to make heads/tails out of guidance for using Debugging Tools to inspect elements to find/verify the current names of properties that I want to change, but have not been able to work that out.

I'm not a complete IT novice--I am a 20-yr sysadmin, not a developer. I can write PowerShell, but no HTML experience. Take pity on an old man?

Hiya, any re-arranging of the account list does not work. Been like this for months. Checking again today after Thunderbird version update it is still the same.

The drag and drop sort in setting works however the new list order is not applied to the actual account list.

Win11. Thunderbird 154.0 (64-bit).

Any ideas? Searches are pretty much only showing instructions on how to drag and drop. No solutions that I can see. Thanks in advance.
