Форум поддержки Thunderbird

I've wanted to migrate over to Thunderbird, but as I have a frightening amount of contacts, and I don't have the time to go through each one manually, I'm really surprised that no one has developed a good deduper for the contact book. Is it that difficult, or did Thunderbird go through some massive change that made the old dedupers obsolete?

How many times per day, and over a period of how many years, will it be necessary to tell Mozilla Thunderbird Email that I DO NOT want Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all my email from Gmail

BEFORE THEY WILL STOP ASKING?

I would like to keep using imap (because directory synchronization and such) instead of pop, yet I also want to configure thunderbird to delete (expunge) emails from the server after a certain number of days while keeping them intact offline. The reason for this is that I want to keep an offline only archive because it is more secure.

I currently only see options to delete everywhere after N days or delete locally after N days, but I want to keep local and delete from the server. It looks like the server software my email provider uses doesn't have a setting for it either, so doing this in thunderbird is my best chance of getting ut done.

For some reason, the preview pane changed. I didn't knowingly make any adjustments but I may have. The sender, subject, received date, etc used to be on the same line in the preview pane. Now is shows Subject and who its from, one below the other.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can reverse this back to the way it was?

My Thunderbird main window layout (View > Layout) keeps reverting to Vertical View even though I set it to Classic View. Is there any way of setting the default layout to Classic View in the Configuration Editor?

I'm using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint.

Yesterday, I performed a complete reformat and upgrade to the latest version of Mint and I've been struggling to read emails in Thunderbird ever since. The text in the emails I receive is absolutely tiny - I'd say it was almost impressively small if it weren't so infuriating.

I've included a screenshot example of what I'm talking about. Note the size of the subject line at the top to see the disparity.

I've scoured the support pages and carefully followed the instructions given, but the aside from increasing the font of the program itself, there is no change in the text size of the messages themselves.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

For years we nolonger can change (increase) the font size of the thunderbird email messages listing on inbox messages (NOT the email itself). In the old days there was an extension called; themes & font size changer. Then you changed the interface for extensions and it no longerr worked. Nothing has ever worked since. After years of not using thunderbird I switched to Evolution. However recently I did find a way to do what I wanted by using the terminal window to launch thunderbird and increase the font using 'GDK_DPI_SCALE=2 thunderbird' as a terminal line command. Is this the ONLY way to increase the font of the thunderbird email directory listing of input emails? The fact that Mozilla never implementes the Simple approach of using Ctrl + and Ctrl - to increase and decrease the font as many other apps do, is beyound me. I'm not a novice, and have been a system software developer for over 30 years and used Unix in 1976 when it was from original developer Bell Labs. So what can I do other than the terminal command? I currently use Linux Mint 21.2 cinnamon and thunderbird 115.9. Attached is the nice large font directory inbox listing I get from running thunderbird from a terminal comand changing the GDI scale as indicated above.

I have added Unread Filter. But now I see is only Unread mails for Inbox. That's the only box has that issue. I have attached the image as to Quick filter is on and Pin is on. Even if I uncheck unread (green light is off) I do not see all my mails.

Just updated to v115.08 and can not resize the columns. When I place the cursor on the right edge of column header, I drag it all the way across the monitor screen and the column header expands partially very slow, then when I release it, it goes back to a mini width and I can't read them message info; all columns except the size and received. Unacceptable as I manage a business and can't see my email info!

Likewise, I can't seem to go back to the older version I had! Granted I turned updates off because the nag screen pops up constantly and is SO annoying. Every minor up date now is considered a damn full version ID and it's just a flat PIA.

As well, this update deleted ALL MY ADD_ONS... seriously!!! I've been using both TB and Ff since they began. What to do now. I don't know what's happened to Mozilla programming, but the nag screens for every little change and now this?!?

HELP!!! Thanks in advance.

Hello, It's there any option/setting in mozilla thunderbird for drag and drop emails to local drive folder and save them under another filename that the standard "Subject" name? I don't know if i'm clearly enough, that's why i want to make a briefly description of the operation i want and the way the emails i want to appear in my folder. I drag and drop an email to my folder and this email has the filename represented by the "Subject" of that email. Can i change the way emails are saved ? Or can i drag and drop emails from one sender in separate folder ?

It seems impossible to delete any email once I have read it that comes into my inbox, so the total builds up all the time. THis is frustrating and didnt happen with my other computer

Pin "Favourite Folders" to the top of the folder list so when scrolling that pane for other folders, favourites will always be visible.

I don't know if there's any more I can say about it, just would be nice to be able to have "Favourite Folders" always visible when scrolling through the folder pane.

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.
