Komunitné fórum Thunderbird

I got a new computer, and after installing Thunderbird, it took forever to get it set up with the information from my old computer. Now, the unified folders aren't working. All of my mail is going into each account's inbox. There's no option to choose anything on the unified inbox, only the same thing as the other inboxes have. Help, please!

Hello, In my Mozilla Thunderbird email client I'm sorting received emails into 'conversations' which in Thunderbird is known as 'Threaded View'. I find this to be useful functionality but one problem I have is that it's not obvious when there's a new email in that thread. The only way to check for a new message in a thread, is to click on the '<n> replies' in the very first threaded email, so that when that expands to show all content in that thread - one can then see that there are new emails that haven't yet been read. Is there any way that new (unread) emails in Threaded View can be made obvious ?. Regards,

Every time I open the new version the following comes up in a window. By agreeing, you’ll allow Thunderbird Mail to access: Yahoo Contacts read and write Yahoo Calendar read and write Yahoo Mail read and write

The Yahoo Contacts and Yahoo Mail I can understand, But, I don't want a Yahoo Calendar. Is it somehow possible to allow Contacts and Mail, but exclude Calendar?

I have lost the send, attach buttons on my new emails? not sure what I touched.

I can recieve emails and reply but when I want to write a new email I am not able to send it as the button to send is gone.

also the New Message button is gone.

In my effort to solve a different issue, I have made things somewhat worse.... I do not see the option to display listing of unread/all messages. I do not see a Settings tab in the menu bar.

Please help. TNX.

_____________________________________________ desktop win11 pro Thunderbird 148.0 (64-bit)

I have Thunderbird 148.0 with windows 11. I have 5 email accounts. How do I turn off those unwanted and unneeded notifications of email messages. There are TONS of them and they are very irritating and serve no useful purpose that I can see.

At one time before several updates ago, all messages in my inbox were separate. After a previous update, reply or messages with the same header started be be nested, each one showing only the sender and the subject, which is now the same. I am forced to read through them all to find the one I want. Deleting any in the change can be hazardous.

How to go back the old way of message display?

Hi

When Thunderbird is started maximized it overlap taskbar if is set to hide and taskbar won't show until Thunderbird is minimized and maximized. Another way is to press the Win key two times. Then the hided taskbar can be shown/use. The same thing happens to Firefox. Only when is first started. Then if Firefox is minimized and maximized, press Win key two times, press F11 two times then the hided taskbar show/hide normal.

It is a setting that can be changed to start Thunderbird and Firefox in full screen and do not overlap hided taskbar?

Hi!

I'm losing my mind by the fact that you can't hold to scroll or click to toggle scroll with MMB in Thunderbird, instead it opens a new tab which is completely useless to me since I share inbox and mail reader in one screen.

Is there any way to fix or change this?

If not I'd really like to request this as an option or feature.

I use folder icon colors for various purposes. I prefer my color selection "menu" to look like the first included image, after I define and Add to Custom Colors.

After a restart of TB, my custom color choices go away. I believe the color choices should survive and be permanent until changed by the user. Please advise, thank you.

I have found in the settings where it looks like I can increase the font size to better see and read my emails, but it does not affect what I have.

How to increase font size to make reading easier?

There is a way to add a folder to a Thunderbird account that combines other folders. The one I want to create would be "Inbox and Sent emails combined". I did it in the past, but I can't remember how to do it anymore. Can someone help with this? I am running Thunderbird 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Linux Mint.

Hello! It seems Thunderbird emails are suddenly being 'threaded'. It is causing great confusion in my office.

I need to see each email from a person separately in order to find them easily and also to reply to each one at the time it is received.

Can someone please explain in very simple non-techy jargon:- a) How I 'unthread' messages already threaded AND b) How I stop any new ones being threaded in the first place.

Thank you Tylex

Hello,

Why the hell did you guys decide to change the sort order of the "Move to" and "Copy to" Right-Click menu folders? How annoying! This makes Thunderbird *less* user friendly, not more user friendly. Do you guys even use Thunderbird? I suspect not, or you would have realized what a bad decision this was. I use these right-click menus every day, and now, because you guys decided to sort the order based on last used, I have to HUNT for the folder each time, because it is constantly changing! Before, I would know where that folder was in the list before I even right-clicked. Unless this gets fixed, I will go back to an older version of Thunderbird.

Instead of spending time changing features for the worse, how about doing something useful, like making Thunderbird work correctly with Protonmail?

Thanks!

This is what my messages look like . How do I get every line after "DATE" to not print like it used to. I am on version 115.10.1 My email is Fredwise@earthlink.net

115.10.1 From accounts@firefox.com TO FREDWISE@earthlink.net subject Use 950828 to confirm your account DATE Wed, 4 Mar 2026 02:08:02 +0000 Message ID <0101019cb69a2a0b-d2e09f40-9362-43dd-8164-9c6e0ff4882d-000000@mail.firefox.com

ETC for 30 or 40 more lines

i am confused at this point: Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

The row background and text colours can be set with css (see picture):

/* row bg, text colours for selected messages table view*/ tr[is="thread-row"].selected {

 color: white !important;
 background-color: red !important; 

}

Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colours as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

Just reinstalled and re-setup Thunderbird. This morning, a window popped up on my desktop titled: Activity Monitor. Never seen this before. Did I turn on something to make it appear? Can I turn it off?
