Thunderbird: форум сообщества

Hello Everybody . I have used Thunderbird for a number of years and I like it and have supported it from time to time with donations . I am a person with dyslexia and their a lot of people with this problem . more than you would think . The one thing that I think would be nice is to have a speech to text as part of Thunderbird . It would be a big help to us with dyslexia . Thank you for letting me bend your ear .

I updated Thunderbird yesterday and today it is talking to me. Why, it is annoying as hell to have it repeat everything I do over and over. How do I shut it off.

I have come across some people who ask about the thickness of scrollbars.

Do you find the scrollbars are just too thin and difficult to select because your eyesight is not so good or maybe you have less ease in controlling the mouse? If yes then the following information may be of help.

I'm trying to get Thunderbird working on Windows.

I can't read thin faint Windows-style font rendering. I can set * {font-weight: bolder !important;} in userChrome.css, but since Thunderbird relies on boldness to distinguish unread and read messages, I'd need to find another way to distinguish these.

I also use MacType, but it doesn't seem to affect Thunderbird or Firefox.

As far as I can see, either 1. if the css can distinguish unread and read messages, maybe I could set extrabold and semibold, or I could set different colors. Or 2. I could set a bolder font with good-enough script support.

I am running Thunderbird (release 140) with the Dark Theme selected. A few messages are received that are unreadable because of the text color chosen by the sender. I am wondering if there is a method to adjust a parameter for an unreadable message to make it readable. I would prefer not to have to change the Theme to Light for just a few messages!

An example is attached.

I have used TB a long time. It is not now working. I never had a Password? I do have a Mozilla PW (not given here) donated several years ago. This is the story. I got a new phone. Didn't remember my Google PW. The sales man decided to redo my PW. It screwed up Google. Now I get the screen attached. The screen does not work and Thunderbird does not RUN. I get calendar and can write but not send or receive??? Second screeen See attachment. All my mail is via GMail. Perhaps I need to remove TB and reinstall????

How do I change the ::selection background css for text that appears in the mailnews reader and editor views? I am happy to use userChrome.css or userContent.css. Currently the selected background is too dark against my chosen dark background color. I simply need to lighten it a bit. I've been through the about:config pages looking at "color" and there isn't a setting I can find. So it appears I will need to use CSS in userChrome.css to accomplish this. I need to know what the magic incantation is to do this. I get it will involve the ::selection pseudo-element, but which tag to apply it to, any special namespace? All?

An example of the selection color I am talking about is shown in this image (attached)

Preferably, this solution should continue to work when openSUSE updates to 136/7, etc..

I could have copied each one of two different emails from Hotels to Volos as Nefeli & Park with their savings on Thunderbird because I have restarted at the first before two hours as well as I wrote thoroughly a plenty of my fixed changes under any circumstances but I was tired of many efforts yesterday nightly & tonight...

duplicate of /questions/1498825 thread in Thunderbird Support

Hello, it is impossible sending e-mails from our e-mail accounts and the message that appears is "Two many sending failures". No e-mails have been sent back. Is it possible to remove this block?

Read Aloud is not producing sound in Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro. The app does highlight the text it is reading and progresses through the email, but there is no sound. I have checked various voices and tried to sound test the Piper voices. No luck. Windows Narrator (not ideal) will read the emails. I have checked every sound setting I can think of several times. I contacted Read Aloud support and they were unable to resolve my issue; they did confirm it worked in their Thunderbird app.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A new user, I am elderly and find the script too small in the inbox message list. it is just fine in message content. Can anyone kindly tell me if there is an option to increase the type size, cant seem to find anything in settings, mind you there are so many to get through? My Outlook which I don't care for generally, shows an "easy read". Thank you David

I am a very retired programmer (K&R C mostly starting in early 70's. Not C++ or .NET stuff). About 20 years ago I became legally blind - low vision, only very center of one eye, loss of most color perception and need high contrast. Dark mode is usually better. For years I used WordPad to take notes with large font etc., but WordPad is no longer in Windows 11. I rarely save the notes, it is sort of my large print Post-It note - more than phone numbers, messages for wife, etc. For small stuff like that I use my 8x10 white board with dry-erase marker. I switched from Outlook to TB about 2 years ago. Wonderful. But it appears that it insists that I save as DRAFT etc. where I usually don't want to save it (or retrieve it by selecting from not large font list of items in the DRAFTS folder. Life expectancy for sheet if preinted is measurered in hours if I want/need to print it. Is there a way to make use of the TB editor as a standalone? Forget Word with its unfriendly ribbon etc. Ditto for OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NotePad++, etc. They are all to heavy, awkward to launch/start up, etc. I don't need TO:, SUBJECT: etc. I don't need multi-documents at once.

I use TextPad and ZoomText (magnifier/reader with all sorts of enhancements such as full-screen cross hars to help me find the cursor / mouse pointer) for recreational programming etc., too many features etc. to launch or get out of.  No, I don't want a copy out on OneDrive - not on my phone, not on my tablet etc.  Although speech recognition would be nice, but then again that could be disruptive in home environment.  My wife is not a fan of Alexa.

Perhaps find a way to grab WordPad from somewhere? (I doubt that I have media for, say, W7 or earlier. Then there's compatibility issues, ... )

Lastly, I apologize for all of those 'etc.' - this question would have been a lot longer without them.

Thanks, Nick
