Forum Asistence për Thunderbird

This last week one of my inboxes started to group my emails by Today, Last 7 days,Last 14 day and Older. I find no option to change that back to showing all the emails in date order like my other email accounts. The other posts on this topic that I can find are all for older versions that I don't see the commands for in my version.

I am using version 115.11.1 - 64 bit.

I have two identical instances of the Thunderbird 115.11.0 (64-bit) installed on Fedora 40 (two different boxes) They display Email preview differently (See attached pictures)

Anybody knows how to change that view? What settings?

Hi is there an add-on or can the settings of Thunderbird be changed so that when an email notification on macos comes through, it shows the first few words of an email. This is helpful for receiving verification codes. You can know it just by a glance at the notification rather than open the email.

At the moment it shows the email from and subject but not the first few words of the email body (unlike iOS).

When I forward an email, the body text is gray just like the signature text, not black. Replies and compositions all look fine. Any idea how to correct this issue?

I have just moved several email accounts from Cox email to Yahoo and all is well for send/receive. I was setting up my unified folder and the SENT folder for the accounts will not show up in the unified sent folder for any account. I am pretty sure it was there before the migration. It is selected to be in the unified and in the folder options I have the sent going to that email sent folder. It is not listed in the unified section or in the lower section under the email list..Suggestion?

If I right-click on any photo or item in the explorer and choose "share", the mailadresses that show up as options in the "share window" is not associated with Thunderbird, but with Outlook. I have tried every solution I have found on the net, incl. making sure TB was chosen as the mail client for any file type, removing any leftovers from outlook and from registration data base, but still only adresses connected with Outlook shows up (and I can see that it is from an old mailing list, that does not include more recent contacts). So why does the share windows not have assess to Thunderbird and its mail adresses?

I'd like to use microsoft exchanges in to the thunderbird desktop app. Is that possible? I've tried to set it up but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm able to receive emails but when I try to send it asks for a password and it says it's not correct....

Yesterday, midday, my sent file stopped storing new messages after years of flawless service

I have tried: - closing TB and shutting down laptop and restarting

                      Under  Account Settings> Copies and Folders: unclicking "place a copy in" doing a test and then reclicking "place a copy in"  (directed to sent folder)

FWIW: 1.only thing I have done differently lately is create a Template

           2. Sent folder works fine on my on-line email ( I normally work with storing locally on my MacBook Air) but on-line email is not TB so likely irrelevant

I would like to customize styling for recurring events in Calendar (115.11.1 on MacOS) without using extensions/add-ons. I enabled userChrome.css (`toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets`) and the “has:” selector (`layout.css.has-selector.enabled`). In my userChrome.css, I added styles:

   li:has([alt*="Recurring"]) { background-color:grey !important; padding:1rem !important; }
   li:has(*[alt*="Recurring"]) { background-color:yellow !important; padding:1rem !important; }

Unfortunately, this seems to have no effect upon restarting Thunderbird. However, when I open Developer Toolbox (`Tools > Developer Toolbox > Developer Toolbox > Inspector` tab) suddenly everything works and the stylesheets are applied, but only until Thunderbird is shut down. Weirdly, other custom styles in userChrome.css work ok.

Is this intended behavior or a bug?

Hello,

I work in a company and we are using Thunderbird for emails. The way me and my coworkers work is that we solving emails we get. BUT. There are two people always here on emails. One of them is taking ODD emails, the second one EVEN. For example I'm the ODD one, so every email that comes in odd time for example 8:31, 8:43, 8:47 etc., are mine and the other person who is EVEN one have emails like 8:30, 8:40, 8:52 etc. So if I make 2 folders one will be called EVEN and the other one ODD is there some way to filter these emails by time?

Thanks for your help and answers

Subfolders Expanding Too Quickly On Mouse Hover Over Main Folder *Still* A Problem

I saw a past thread claiming this problem has been fixed, but it definitely has not been fixed when it comes to dragging and dropping emails into a main folder.

Subfolders expanding (when hovering to drop/move an email) should be timed longer, and we need flexibility to time how many seconds it takes.

We need a way to set the timing of the expansion to only happen after 'x' seconds so we can manually adjust the timing.

Please fix this. It is really irritating and time consuming to have to constantly reclose subfolders.

thanks

When I delete an email it immediately diseappears from the view, but if I have the "Unread" filter active and I mark an email as "read" it remains there until I switch the "Unread" filter off and then on again. Quite impractical to me.

Why do I have both a spam and a junk folder in Thunderbird?

Also, if I have to keep both, is it possible to add a menu command to empty the spam folder, like we have on the junk folder?

I maintain a "Favorites" folder view as those are the folders I use 95% of the time and I have a very large number of historical folders I need to keep around but don't need very often. Trouble is, when I create a new folder, the creation dialog doesn't offer the option to make the folder a favorite so that it disappears after creation. I have to switch to the "ALL folders" view and then right click on the new folder and check the "favorite" box and then go back to favorites view.

It would make life so much easier if there was a favorite checkbox on the creation dialog.

Thank you.

I have my inboxes set to display new messages at the top. When I open an inbox, Thunderbird scrolls to SHOW new messages, highlighted in bold, at the top. Or it used to.

Recently this behavior has become inconsistent. When I look at Thunderbird, one of my inboxes may show that there are new messages. So I click on the inbox, but no new messages appear in my list of e-mails. I then have to manually scroll up to see them.

Something definitely changed here.

I can see the case where maybe I've selected an old e-mail message WAAAY down the list. In that case Thunderbird should probably open to that point. Usually, if a message is selected, it's near the top. If that message AND newly arrived messages can be displayed on the same page, Thunderbird should scroll to the top and show me new messages.

Is this a setting that can be set?
