Dear team, I have been struggling a lot to adjust the font size of TB. I have not been able to find anything that can help (the css solution went right over my head sadly). Can someone please help? I can not read such small letters anymore. :(

Suddenly it says "The messages you have deleted can be purged from disk" every time I move emails. Every stupid time. Probably a very useful feature but just not how I have used things for the last decade or so. At first all I wanted to say was 'thank you but no thank you" Now it is getting beyond a joke. How do I get rid of this without deleting any emails? Yes I know they are nominally deleted but I've use that as an easy way to archive them and then copy them off as a history trail. All my accounts are carefully set to "Don't delete any messages". I like that. I mean it.

I discovered that E-mail suddenly from my sister started to go directly to the junk file. I've moved them to the inbox several times, but each time within a few minutes the same E-mails disappear from inbox and go back to junk file. Once in the junk file they become marked as "not read" even though they were read. This only started in early Oct and I haven't notice it occurring with E-mail from anyone else...yet. I fear this will happen with any E-mail she sends and could start happening with E-mail from other people. Why is this happening and how can I make it stop? Can someone please help me? Thank you.

I have been trying to figure out a way to change the font sizes in Thunderbird 78.4.3. None of the "help" works. Font changing extensions are out of date. Help threads point to menu items that aren't there. Can't even find the "config.editor". My eyes just can't handle the small fonts anymore.What can I do?

How do I tell thunderbird to use the designated default email server, not the first server in the list of accounts, to send email when it is called by clicking a link on a web page?

Thunderbird 78 introduced a "redesigned compose window".

For me this is not an improvement and makes the usability of the window much worse.

For example, adding a recipient via "CC" now requires you to press shift+tab five times to select "CC" and four times to select "BCC".

Furthermore, you can no longer change (for example) the "CC" list to "BCC" as you could previously; you have to create a whole new BCC line and cut/paste the recipient list.

Is there a way to revert to the previous compose window layout?

If not, how can I suggest to the developers that they add this as an option please?

Hi,

I can't figure out how to make my threaded conversations sort by descending order. I've got the setting View->Sort_by->Date-Descending->Threaded and email that is not in a thread is sorted in descending order (latest first), but in a threaded conversation, the oldest message is at the top of the thread.

I've seen a lot of conversations posted from the distant past, nothing new and nothing that "fixed" this. Let me know if I missed an add-on or setting.

Thanks, JS

When I view e-mails as plain text, included links are highlighted and clickable even if they're not formatted as HTML links. Is there any way to get that functionality when viewing as HTML? I've been using the URL Link add-on, but that's pretty cumbersome compared to just clicking a link.

Thanks! -- oobleck

Hi All, I can see how to change the background colour of my email but not how to change the font colour. I am adding text into an existing email and want to highlight the new text by making it red. thanks!

One of my accounts is a catch-all for commercial email and newsletters, and I don't want it to be counted in the Unread count displayed by the icon in the MacOS dock. I looked through all the Account Settings and Preferences and couldn't find anything.

Hello! I've used many email servers and have come to rely on the fact that as soon as I open/reply to someone, I can start typing and not have to worry about punctuation for the most part. In particular is the automatic capitalizing of a word starting a sentence or following a period. Why isn't Thunderbird capable of this? This should be an automatic feature just like it is with any software.

Thank you. kst1313

Hey folks ! My company is trying to improve email deliverability and we are needing to not use Gmail's SMTP ip addresses. To that end, we subscribed with Mailgun. Suffice it to say, this is actually working. I'm able to integrate Gmail and the Outbound Mailgun SMTP server just fine. It required using Thunderbird to do it so that we can properly separate the sending and receiving routes. (Gmail does not support, natively, outbound SMTP through other servers). Now the tricky part. We need to insert a custom header entry so that Mailgun can properly track "tags" to show email deliverability metrics. After much searching and experimentation, most Internet documentation says to insert said header in to the Config Editor of Thunderbird under the heading mail.compose.other.header (in this case X-Mailgun-Tag) I can do this, I can see the header in the pull down arrows for header info. However, once I populate the field with the proper tag (e.g. outreach), Thunderbird will no longer send. No matter how many times I hit the send button, it will not go. However, once I remove the data from the custom header field, it sends just fine - just without the header information I need it to have. Any ideas ?

My husband & I both have Thunderbird on Windows 10. I have set the fonts to be large (24 pt) for both composition and display, but while both things work on my PC, only the composition part works on his. I am attaching a JPEG showing the problem. The text is large when typed, but much smaller when the message is received. I have also attached a JPEG showing the current advanced settings for fonts on both PCs.

 I thought this might be related not to fonts but to a setting in View--but I played around with those and nothing changed: the type in the messages received is still much smaller than in the messages he writes.  It is set to Classic view, message body Original HTML.
 His Windows 10 display is set to custom scaling of 110%, which doesn't seem to make any difference.
 Is there some other setting I should try to adjust?
 

Many thanks for any suggestions!
