Dear Sirs,

I have a common layout for folders. If I create a new folder, Thunderbird 115.10.1 (and previous versions) always uses a different layout. Sometimes I forget to change the layout and when opening the newly created folder I am confused. I find it also annoying to always apply my folder layout to the newly created folders.

Is there any method/setting to define/set the layout for new folders?

Kind regards,

Jens

I mistakenly moved a folder into another. It is now a subfolder and I want to move it back. The move command is not working. How do I move a subfolder back to be a primary folder?

Since I updated to the last Thunderbird version, the messages in my inbox are deleted after one month if I don't "star" them. I don't think I changed any settings? Can somebody help me with this?

Could not find anything in add-ons, settings, or about:config. There is a topic on this site https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1086884 but I am not able to follow it because there is no add-on or plugin to enable or I cannot find it.

I have inadvertently cc'd a person to a confidential email and not there is no recall option with Thunderbird. This is an option available on all other email providers. How do I recall a message sent in error?

My company has a new name and I need to create a new signature. Now I have a problem: I have almost 200 email templates or drafts. The "old" signature is saved in these emails. I have created the new signature with the new name, but it doesn't seem to update automatically for emails in the templates or drafts folder.

Do you have an idea how I could solve this elegantly without having to edit all 200 mails manually?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a "search and replace" command.

Many thanks for your help

Can I stop being notified of new updates? I don't even want to hear about them. A registry change maybe?

A previous thread I started requested help for an issue that transpired when I updated from 102 to 115 back in 2023. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1424162 After messing with it, I uninstalled the 115 update, deleted Thunderbird folders in my user's AppData folders and reinstalled the last update I knew that worked with the email that Thunderbird was having a problem which was 102. I had turned off auto-updates and got my four email accounts back like I prefer.

Last month I was presented with an update notification that I confused with a Firefox update and installed it. Darn - the Unified Folder in that one email was messed up again. I attempted some settings changed to the folders and it seemed to work. I was not too thrilled with the toolbar change at the top, preferring the small print Menu Bar at top, with Tabs directly under and finally Mail Toolbar at bottom but I resigned to live with the change.

A few weeks passed and the Unified Folder for that one email once again had a couple of subfolders under the account AND ALSO I noticed that syncing with my iPhone and other computers stopped. I was having to delete messages twice. TIME TO UNINSTALL AND FIND 102 AGAIN.

Not a huge deal besides needed to redo the columns to my preferences and I finally figured out the child inheritance to other folders thing with all this practice re-configuring to older versions.

So the question... is there a chance that I can have the new update notification stopped? I don't want to even be notified by way of a periodic popup that I have to be on my toes so I can dismiss.

Thanks, Steve

Hello

We've made a donation, but we're still getting the annoying "DONATION" notice popping up at the browser.

WE WOULD LIKE TO DISABLE IT PLEASE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE INSTRUCTIONS TO DO IT.

Thanks Vitor Neves CMS INC.

I have several email accounts - a main one, and two or three subsidiary emails which I use for specific purposes. For the last week I keep getting a large popup saying "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account." Not only do I not want or need what this offers for this particular account, but whatever I do, it keeps coming back every few minutes, which as it is on top of whatever I am working with, is extremely annoying. It offers me "Deny" or "Allow" options - but slicking "Deny" just removes that popup - and a few minutes later it returns. Screenshot of the message attached. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it permanently, please? Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi. I have inherited a job where the email is Gmail. I inadvertently set it up in Thunderbird, and it downloaded about 1500 emails from the server. I don't want to delete them off the server, as I'll probably be passing the account onto someone else soon.

1/ So, will they redownload every day I open Tbird?

2/ If not, is there a way I can delete them off my Tbird, and they DON'T redownload, but stay on the server?

Thanks, CD

I understand the basic differences between unread folders and unified folders what I don't understand is why two of nine my accounts are listed in both unified folders and unread (see circled in red) how do I remove the two accounts from unified folders or

add more to it
and what makes it confusing is that the subfolders aren't the same when listed in unified or unread

I recently purchased a new laptop and needed to migrate my old Thunderbird profiles. This is what I did: 1. Backed up profiles from old laptop 2. downloaded and installed latest version of Thunderbird on new laptop 3. coped profiles into \roaming directory 4. tested and successfully received emails and viewed all old emails.

The problem is that the Mail toolbar is nowhere to be found. Also, the calendar is missing. I tried right clicking on empty space and it only showed "menu bar" as an option. Attachment shows nothing in the toolbars option of View dropdown.

I have two accounts in Thunderbird: comcast and gmail. For some reason there was a password problem when I tried to get email from comcast. I got that fixed but now gmail is showing up as a folder under comcast. It is in italics and grayed out (see picture). It cannot be deleted as when trying I get the message that the folder is non-existent.

There seem no way to move it either. I tried moving it to the gmail account but the server always says it is non existent but it does exist in my list of folders. There are also two folders under the gmail account, Ipad, and labone that cannot be deleted either.

Any help appreciated. Win10 TB 115.10.1 latest

I was able to change some of my message pane background by adding the following to the userContent.css file:

/* Thunderbird userContent.css */

@-moz-document url-prefix("imap:"),url-prefix("mailbox:"),url-prefix("news:") {

 body {
   background-color: #404552 !important;
 }

} @-moz-document url-prefix("about:blank?compose") {

 body {
   background-color: #404552 !important;
 }

}

I also tried adding the following to my userChrome.css file: /* Message pane */

1. msgHeaderView {

 background-color: #404552 !important;

}

1. messagePane {

 background-color: #404552 !important;

}

Why do I still get these two dark gray areas (see attached)? What css do I need to add to get them to be the lighter grey?

I want to change the reminder sound. I already downloaded a MP3 file and I selected it on "Reminders", "Use the following sound file". I can see the window that pops up, but no sound is played. Also when I click on Play, it doesn't work. I know the sound file is fine, thus I can play it on my laptop. What should I do? Another question, is there any Add-on with Reminder sounds?

Thanks in advance.

I want to set unthreaded as default column view for all folders, and then that column view to be used on all new subfolders I create, but without having to use advanced settings various workarounds (it is and should be called for what it is...) which is currently the standard response when users is asking how to change from threaded to unthreaded column view. Why can't this setting be simply implemented as part of the standard gui?

is there a way to include or insert custom code into the head section of outbound Thunderbird emails?

Note that I am not talking about custom email headers, but custom html into the <head> section of outbound HTML emails.

Thanks!
