hello, every time i start thunderbird, i'm presented with a tab that shows me the privacy policy. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. i don't need to read it every time; reading it once and confirming is enough. but there doesn't seem to be any way to confirm, or disable this annoyance. how can i get it to stop? is there a setting somewhere, or registry entry i can change?

Thunderbird Desktop Version 115.18.0esr

PLEASE put the format options back into the email task bar! My formatting needs to be done on a message by message basis. It is time consuming and counterproductive to have to go to settings each time. No matter what I tried in settings, I was not able to get Formatting back into the message task bar. At minimum, I need font, size, list and color options back in the message task bar. PLEASE HELP!

How do I stop all the messages subthreads from being populated on the message tab? For example, with I open a message with subthreads, all the trailing messages are displayed on the tab. The only way to get them off the tab is by clicking the x in every message. A real pain. I don't want this. How do I stop it?

MY SYSTEM: Thunderbird 140.5.0esr running in Linux Debian Bookworm

I have created a filter from a recently received message via pop. The settings are: OK Manually Run OK Getting New Mail: Filter before Junk Classification

Match all of the following From Contains xyz.co.uk

Perform these actions: Move message to XYZ on my mailbox

Press OK

In the Message Filters window, Run selected filter(s) on: XYZ Press Run Now

There is no response, and all the messages remain in the Inbox.

I have repeated the Run Now process on an old filter (by moving the message back to the inbox), and that works fine.

The only oddity of the current message is that it is a no-reply message eg From = no-reply@xyz.co.uk

Any ideas welcome!

I have missing buttons or shortcuts in my Thunderbird. There was a refresh button and a new message button on my tool bar, they have disappeared. Is there a way to get them back? Thank you!

Hi, is there a way to get Thunderbird to move to the tray when I press the X button in the top right corner?

I've tried enabling "When Thunderbird is minimized, move it to the tray" but that just changes what the minimize button does. When I press X, Thunderbird still quits.

I've done some googling and I found this extension: https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/minimize-on-close/

The problem with it is:

1. It doesn't seem to work with modern versions of Thunderbird
2. It lets you either minimize the window or move it to the tray, but not both (X and minimize do the same thing)

Can I get Thunderbird to close to tray only when I press X? So that the minimize button still works normally? Thanks

Hello,

I had been using Thunderbird as my email App for very long time. About a few years ago I stopped using it, due to some annoying errors.

I installed the new version a few days ago, however I am some issues:

1. I want to change the default email composing font type and font color. I made changes in the setting and config editor as well. When I start creating an email the font type and color shown is correct. However, as soon as I start typing the default takes over.

2. I have about 50, 000 emails, which I keep for references (ATT-Yahoo). Every evening all the messages disappear, except for about 2000. Then, in the mornings, I have to restart the app and it starts to download "AGAIN". Please advise.

Trying to report a bug in Thunderbird:

Subject: Missing message preview/snippet in Thunderbird 115 (Supernova)

Hello Thunderbird team,

I’ve been using Thunderbird 115 (Supernova) and noticed that the message list no longer shows a preview/snippet of the email body. In earlier versions, this was available as the “Message Preview Text” column, but in Supernova neither Table View nor Cards View currently display snippets.

For many users (myself included), having a one‑line preview of the message body is an important part of quickly scanning the inbox — it’s a feature Outlook and other clients provide, and it makes Thunderbird much more efficient to use.

Could you confirm if this feature is planned to return in a future release? If so, is there an estimated timeline? Even a rough idea would help us understand whether to wait for it or look for alternatives.

Thank you for all your work on Thunderbird — it’s a great project, and I appreciate the effort that goes into keeping it modern and usable.

I'm getting used to using Thunderbird but I can't enable spell checking. I've gone to settings and then composition and selected the "as you type" option but this has not enabled the spellcheck.

Can anyone help, please?

The New Line (Enter) key always double spaces, which is intended for paragraph text. But for tabular text, this makes unnecessary white space. What key combination generates only a SINGLE new line character rather than TWO of them?

Example: Donor: xxxxx Email: xxxxx Phone: xxxxx Billing Address: xxxxx Bank: xxxxx; Account ending in xxxx

This screen defaults to single spacing; why doesn't Thunderbird allow it?

I think I clicked the wrong button, but now, the big, blue 'New message' button (and also the 'Load new messages' button) has disappear (please look at the attachment).

I searched in many places, as Appearance settings, "hamburger menu" >> Toolbars, Displaying (in the toolbar), etc., but I found nothing.

Does someone know how to display back these buttons?

Thanks, @eliotttak

When I click on the grey cloud, next to the blue [+ New Message] button, to download any new messages the system displays 4 messages in the status line. It is 4 because I have 4 email accounts.

My problem is that these messages, and any other ones, disappear to quickly. Is there any setting I can change to make them stay visible for a few seconds longer?

These are technically two separate issues, but both pertain to functionality of the mouse and keyboard. Whenever I right click to bring up the menu, the options (despite being functional) do not appear in the menu proper. Instead there are just empty buttons. In addition, certain hotkeys aren't working at all. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy paste are doing fine, but Ctrl-T and Ctrl-W to open and close tabs respectively do nothing. Neither of these issues were happening yesterday.

Why are some emails unreadable when the dark theme is enabled, but completely legible when the light theme is enabled? 1st picture is the email with the dark theme enabled, 2nd picture is the same email with the light theme enabled.
