Buonasera, stamattina non funzionando le mail in arrivo in Thundebird, ho riparato la cartella a seguito di un messaggio arrivato dal vostro portale dove mi diceva: spazio archiviazione terminato. Effettuata la procedura i messaggi in entrata hanno iniziato a funzionare regolarmente ma mi sono accorto che tutte le mail nella cartella posta in arrivo erano prive di testo. Cosa può esser successo e se è possibile ripristinare, grazie mille per un vostra risposta. Vi lascio in allegato un'immagine come campione. Cordiali saluti, Gianfranco

I used to get my new messages sorted by date. Now the sort panel is checked for Recipient, Ascending, Threaded. I am not able to find new messages. I am unable to uncheck or check to receive according to date.

Version 115.4.3 seems to have eliminated the Mail Toolbar altogether. The “Unified Toolbar” support page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unified-toolbar refers to a “Tabs Bar” which is not part of the standard Thunderbird vocabulary (there is a “Tab Strip” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-customize-toolbars#w_how-do-i-sh.... If you keep changing the toolbars and the vocabulary, you are going to confuse everyone, including yourselves. Now the user cannot customize the Menu Bar (or the Unified Toolbar), so the main buttons on the Mail Toolbar (Get Messages, Write, Chat, Tag, QuickFilter, Address Book etc.) are just not there. There is also no visible way to display the Mail Toolbar. It seems that in their desperate indecision as to whether the Menu Bar or the Mail Toolbar should be on top, the developers of Thunderbird decided to eliminate the Mail Toolbar altogether. What an unfortunate decision. Give us back our Mail Toolbar!'

I have Thunderbird as my client on my primary home workstation as well as my traveling laptop. Each instance is configured exactly the same with regards to the four servers I use: Earthlink, GMail, Outlook and GMX. Each of those server/services is also identically configured with regards to these Server Settings: Leave Messages on the Server Until I Delete Them.

Each of the servers -- except GMail -- has the same behavior with regards to how it handles things when I click on the option to Get Messages, i.e., each server seems to be able to identify which of the clients has and which of the clients has not previously been served up with a newly arrived email. It will not send the same email to the same client more than once.

GMail is the exception. There I get what seems to be a first-come-first-served protocol. If I perform Get Messages on the laptop, I will get the email, but will not be able to get the email when I subsequently make the request from the workstation's Thunderbird instance. [Or, if the first request is made from the workstation instance, the laptop instance will never get the email.]

I realize that my usage pattern is rather unique, so it may well be that no one else has ever experienced this behavior, but if anyone has -- with regards to any email server, not just GMail -- and knows a work-around, I would appreciate the instruction.

And, in anticipation of one line of questioning, when I say that all four server/services are configured the same, I am indicating that I do work with GMail as a POP3 server, not IMAP. All my email content ultimately resides on my own hardware resources and is only temporarily resident on hardware provided by the server/service entity.

P.S. Please pardon my mistake in initially, mistakenly posting this request to the Firefox community.

I am just aghast at both the GUI and inevitably irrelevant answers that I keep encountering as I try Thunderbird. In the latest nightmare, I not only can't find any TRASH or DISCARDED folder, ALL the folders have disappeared except for the inbox. Every single icon is useless when expanded, every link is useless, every single menu, tool and setting is useless, every single search within your menu, and every single reply to every single user in every single one of your 4000 suggested articles is useless ... and impossibly irrelevant.

It's like not one person at Thunderbird actually reads one single word of one single user. Heck, maybe that's true. Maybe all the responses are provided by Thunderbird computers.

This particular layout nightmare follows the experience of finding that, when all the folders used to be displayed, there was absolutely no way to perform the simple act of, you know, like, WRITING AN E-MAIL. As I waded through dozens of web pages, both in and out of your Support, I found absolutely NOTHING of the slightest attempt to actually furnish that information or reply. I'm really good at finding info on the net, and it took me almost 30 minutes and dozens of keyword combos before I got that simple info .. and not from you people, either.

How is it possible to make anything this simple and important so impossible?

WHY CAN'T YOU ATTACH EXCEL FILES IN WORKING ORDER - AND IF RECEIVING AN EXCEL FILE CAN YOU SAVE IT AND OPEN IH EXCEL - IF NOT THUNDERBIRD DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY GOOD DOES IT

I asked this but never got any response via email so will ask again. I have Thunderbird on my desktop and a laptop, both running Win 10. They both have the same rev level of Thunderbird. Looking at my email, if I click on a new message once it shows it as read which is what at I want.. On my desktop I have to open up every message to show it as read which is a pain. I know you can also go though and set message to showing as being read but the single click method is must faster. My laptop worked that way at one time but no longer. 80% of my new messages i know basically what is in them but want to save them so just want to show them read by the one click method which is very simple. I have compared settings and cannot find anything different between the two but obviously there is. Any suggestions on how to make the desktop work like the laptop? Single click for read.
