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.

I have used the same reply header (set up using Config Editor, IIRC) for so many years that I have forgotten the syntax - which should not be a problem, except that I cannot find it anywhere - certainly not in Help. Can someone direct me to the reply header syntax description?

When I receive an email with double line spacing I can't find a way to alter this to single line spacing. I'd like to be able to change from one to the other at will. M

i made a donation last week to thunderbird , but the inbox folder is blocked asking for a donation and not letting me open the emails attached i show the page that appears on the inbox

Copied Thunderbird Profile on old computer to external HDD. Name assigned was zs6…. Installed TBird on new Win10 PC, omitting sign-in procedure. On this PC, clicked Menu, Help, Troubleshooting Info. Opened Profile folder on this PC, left-clicked Roaming, closed TBird. Copied zs6… from ext HDD, pasted onto TBird folder C:\users\owner\appdata\roaming on new PC. Clicked Yes to replace any existing files. Opened \roaming\thunderbird\profiles zs6…. not in there. TBird launches again in Setup. What am I doing wrong?

Running TB 128.12.0esr on Linux Mint. I can get striping in my Classic View thread pane with:

1. threadPane tr:nth-of-type(odd) {

 background-color: rgb(215,215,215) !important; 

}

But how can I achieve the same effect in the folder pane? I have tried replacing threadPane with folderPane or folderTree but no luck.

In Developer Toolbox the selector for the folder list appears to be is(ul, ol)[role="tree"] but I don't know how to create a striping rule from that.

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...

I am able to style tasks that are either completed/overdue/inprogress in userChrome.css . But so far I have not found a way to style canceled tasks.

Can someone help me ?

Hi, I'm using Thunderbird version 140.0 on Windows 10 and trying to change the background of the message pane. I've tried:

1. messagepanebox {

   background-color: #e6f3ff !important; 

}

but it only changes the upper part and I can't find a way to target the whole flex container or the lower part. There is a forum response (titled Message preview pane background) that targets the message pane:

1. messagePane {

background-image: url("file:///C:/path to image/image.jpg") !important;}

and that fills the message pane when its blank at startup but it disappears when selecting a message from the list.

I can add the background-color statement to :root in Developer Tools and that only works for the current selected message. How can I change the background of the entire Message Pane - the upper and lower part that contains the contents of the message - for each message that is selected? Thanks, David

wen man in Thunderbird auf die Tabs klickt ("Betreff", "Beteiligte", "Datum", etc.) werden die Mails nach diesen "Kriterien sortiert"

kan man diese Funktion irgendwie sperren oder deaktivieren? Mich regt es immer auf wenn ich versehentrlich drauaf klicke das er die Sorterung ändert udn ich brauche diesen Murks nicht.

wie kan man das abschalten?

When I downloaded the Thunderbird app to my new laptop and opened it, it already had a fortnight's worth of recent messages in the Inbox, plus many of my Sent messages. However, the remainder of the Inbox, dating back to 2010, was not there, neither were my address books. Why didn't a clean copy of the app download so I can import my Profiles? In addition, my old laptop uses POP incoming, but the new laptop seems to be configured to IMAP. Is this a problem, and if so, which should I choose for the new laptop?

firstly, i'd like to say this isn't really about settings, well it sort of is, it's about layouts, but there's no heading for that. sorry!

i've just gone from version 102 to version 128. for my use of Thunderbird, nothing much seems to have changed, except some things are now harder. (such is progress!) i would like to see the columns in message lists as proper columns, with headers you can click on. so only one line per message, as it used to be, would suit me just fine. that way i can compare things in the list, which i would say is really important. you can change the sort, and easily see how it effects things.

does anyone know if is there any way to achieve this? i can't see anything in Settings or View. thanks so much.

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?

I grew too used to the zebra striping pattern in my message list, but could not find a way of implementing it in Thunderbird settings. I'm using version 139.0.2 - aarch64.

I did try to use the code available in this forum, which involves creating a folder "chrome" in the user profile and then a file userChrome.css under it. I did turn on toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and understand this is not recommended, but it did not make any difference anyways.

Any pointer would be much appreciated.

I suddenly can't see message body when opening Thunderbird. I only see a list of every email received but cannot read it in the opening window. I need to double click.
