Thunderbird: форум сообщества

As described in [question] I am unable to install addons in Thunderbird: when attempting to install an addon, either via the in-app browser or via a file, a pop-up window appears for which "Add" and "Cancel" buttons do nothing (there is no way to move or remove the window without killing the process).

I am opening this question as this problem still persists over a year and many versions later.

Thunderbird V. 115.11.1-1 on 6.9.3-arch1-1 with Sway WM

My Thunderbird version 52.9.1. First language = French Cannot upload DUTCH language package (as second language) because last version of complementary module appears to be corrupted. BA Brussels - Belgium 19-07-2018

What are these new columns which suddenly appeared? From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB)

I've never used them and can't imagine allowing them to clog my message headings so I uncheck them when I find them.

Help! I can't see the tiny font with the newest update. It is not compatible with Theme Size and Font changer. Please make it compatible or include a way to change the font size of my email list within Thunderbird.

Hello, I have enabled the Thunderbird dark mode. My expectation was that all messages in the message list are displayed in white on a dark background.

Unfortunately, the message list often uses a black font on a dark background.

I changed the color in the message pane using settings --> Colour

I followed the instructions/workarounds here for using dark theme, including reset and troubleshoot mode. https://support.mozilla.org/sv/questions/1439922

But it did not help. Maybe you guys can help.

Hi There -

Well, in Thunderbird 60, my add-on, "select inbox" is disabled.

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/select-inbox/

I have just one Inbox, so when I open TB 60, I want it to always open in the Inbox view.

Will TB 60.0.1 correct this, or do I need another way. If so, kindly advise.

Many thanks! :)

I just upgraded to Thunderbird 60 and wish to use Google Search as the default search engine. I installed the Google Search for Thunderbird addon, and restarted Thunderbird, but Google Search does not show as choice in the search-engine list. Am I missing a step?

See the previous, now archive post about it.

If this option makes emails sent from Thunderbird to any other email client have arbitrary line breaks where the line changes in the view of the composer. Please explain to me like I am 5, why is this ON by default? I just spent hours wording and formatting a work email vital for my career just to find out it will most likely look like a poem to the person that reeds it. This mailnews.wraplength "feature" looks a lot like is there to signal to other non-Thunderbird users to use Thunderbird. I really really hope there is a good explanation for why `mailnews.wraplength` exists and is on by default.

New computer Ubuntu 24.04 Mate, older Ubuntu 22.04 Cinnamon. Following support transfer directions (open Thunderbird on new PC, close it, paste a copy of older .thunderbird from USB stick to .thunderbird on new, over write), when I open Thunderbird no accounts are shown only the create account screen. I find no update path for older Thunderbird. New PC came with 128 esr but I found a tarball of 115 .18.0, installed it and followed transfer directions with the same results. Seems like the esr version uses a profile ending with esr and ignores my older one. What are my options for transferring 20 years of significant messages? The hard way might be to identify the account specific files in my older profile and copy them into the new esr profile...

Have just installed TB for the first time (replacing WLM) and am very happy with it. My only problem is that the option to open with a blank page is not working despite leaving the checkbox unchecked. I've tried checking and unchecking but it makes no difference, it always opens with the full setup options displayed. Is there another way to have TB open with a blank page?

Hi friends,

I already searched for this topic and found that there should exist a file named "msgFilterRules.dat" - but there isn't such file nowhere on the whole drive.

Looks like the message filter rules are actually stored in a file with another name...

But what's that name?

Best regards rumbero

Hi,

I have just started using Thunderbird and I'm trying to change the default colour for a hyperlink.

I have tried about:config -> browser.anchor_color and browser.active_color but neither has worked.

I also tried using a user.js file but that didn't work either.

I would have thought this would be a fairly basic thing but it seems to be impossible.

In an effort to rid myself of a bug in Thunderbird ver115 I just installed ver127 on a seperate computer. I know there's a version 128 available but according to reports here on the forum, ver128 seems to suffer from the same probielm that I'm seeing in 115 - so for the time being, it's ver 127.

Until now I've been used to seeing a list of emails in the upper half of Thunderbird's window and also seeing the email contents in a lower window (see attached screenshot). But in ver127 I only see the upper list and I don't see the email contents if I click on them. Anyway to get the contents window back?

In the Thunderbird calendar, I'm trying to create a repeating event that occurs on the fourth Wednesday from Sep 25, 2024 through Jan 22, 2025.

But each time I try to set it up, using Jan 22 as the end date, Thunderbird changes the end date to Jan 21 and so the last event does not get created. I've tried several times and this keeps happening.

What's going on?

Since upgrading to version 60.3 I have the following problem:

For composing messages I have set font and size to suit my taste. However, when I read my message in the folder "messages sent" the font is always larger. The same applies for messages received. Whatever I change in the settings it has no effect. Please advise. Thank you.

Well. Had my own mail server for going on 25 years. But i decided to switch my mail over to proton mail using my domain. I just cannot justify the server cost for only email. So anyway in Thunderbird i had google smtp and my servers smtp so i could send mail from different accounts. when switching over to proton i went to delete my old server smtp server info leaving only the google smtp server. Then i tried to add a new smtp server with the data protonmail provided and clicked save and it refuses to add a second smtp server. I am stumped as i tried to readd my old smtp server and it will not allow me to add that either. any ideas ?
