Hello (this might fit better in "performance & connectivity?): Tbird 140.10.1 & .2 esr. W11p laptop v23. As of tonite (15may26), after update from 140.10.1 to .2, in a message, the "buttons" for a web link no longer appear, in the msg body. Instead the link is shown in full. How can I fix that?

Here's an example (others are longer) from our local rag "Press Democrat."

I also closed & re-opened tbird, did NOT reboot laptop. Problem remains.

Thank you.

I recently updated from a very old version of Thunderbird. The new version no longer shows the little popup messages at the bottom of my screen when automatically checking accounts for mail at the designated interval. As I have numerous email accounts (all set up as POP mail), set to check at different intervals, these popups were useful to me - they also showed when I manually checked an account, or all accounts - this also is not happening anymore. Have they been discontinued, or is it possible I turned them off? I did change some things to suppress nags to update Thunderbird during the time I was using the old version, and unfortunately didn't keep a record of those changes. I'd appreciate knowing which function in about:config controls this feature so I can check to see whether it's set correctly. Thanks!

Français: Bonjour, Presque tout mes icônes dans la barre des tâches, programme ouvert, sont bleu. Comment changer directement la couleur de l'onglet de Thunderbird dans la barre des tâches de Windows. Ce serait bien de pouvoir choisir pour retrouver facilement Thunderbird et lire mon courrier. Christian

English Almost all my icons in the taskbar, for open programs, are blue. How can I directly change the color of the Thunderbird tab in the Windows taskbar? It would be great to be able to choose so I can easily find Thunderbird and read my emails.

How do I change Thunderbird's icon back to the older version? The new version looks a lot like Signal's icon. When I have a taskbar full of icons, I have to look carefully to make sure I'm selecting the correct icon for the app I want to switch to. It's annoying. Thanks

It was nice when FF was simple to use....unimcumbered with all the options...like the latest...profiles.

Why? It's getting to be as complicated as E and C..you don't need all those options - that's why I use FF.

Get rid, or allow the user, to pick and choose, and dump the unwanted stuff from cluttering the tool bar and other options. Just a suggestion that can be made to FF any longer. Use to be they'd welcome feedback.

- Linux ver 140.7.1esr (64 bit) my folders are now out of alphabetic order among other things Trash us now under 'T' instead of grouped near the sent folder and my Computer folder has a mind of it's own. It's not under C even after I changed the name. It is just stuck. Wha? tnx

Running Windows 11 and TB 150.0.2. Can't recall exactly what I did, but after clicking on an email all unread emails are no longer in boldface. Any way to restore them? (New emails that come in are in boldface.) Thank you, Joel Hornstein jobby@att.net

I open Thunderbird and see the list of received emails as usual and I have a "Viewing Pane" on the right. In the viweing pane I can see a portion of the email. However, there is a line going through the top portion of the viewing pane email and I cannot see what is under the line. I then fully open the email and the line is still there.

I have tried everything I can think of to fix this to no avail. I have even shut down Viewing Pane in settings and even then when I open an email it is still there.

I am trying to get Thunderbird to function in similar manner of Outlook Classic but the simplest of settings such as viewing pane just won't work. Thunderbird is up to date and Cache cleared. I have attached two photos to show what I am seeing.

Hi

I'm using Thunderbird 140.5 on a desktop Mac running Sequoia 15.7.2

In Local Folders, my subfolders have subfolders. In both levels of subfolders, Thunderbird has spontaneously started disordering both newly created subfolders, and folders which I move from one subfolder to another using right click 'Move To'

Up until ten days ago, all folders whether new or moved, were listed alphabetically. Now, day by day, the disordering is getting worse and as someone with ongoing conversations with hundreds of clients, it is becoming impossible to work when I have to give so much time to slowly scanning through every folder looking for the relevant subfolder.

I don't know why I can't update this version, but I tried installing the newest version available (145) and used the 'reset folder option' which did not work either.

Also, setting up a whole new account instead of upgrading my existing account is a colossal faff and I'd rather not have to!

Aside from manually reordering (also a colossal faff), can anyone suggest something I might be missing in stopping this happening?

Thunderbird says I'm on an esr channel, if that helps

Thanks

For the last 2 months I have been working to configure Thunderbird to fully replace my Gmail UI usage after their recent change to workspace options and using data to train gemini. When you deactivate those gmail features the first thing you lose are tabs for your Inbox, your Updates and your Promotions.

So far I have used tags, ThunderAI, Ollama and a locally hosted LLM to replicate the sorting of my inbox, but now I would like to be able to configure the Thunderbird UI to allow separate tabs in the menu bar for different folders, in this case Inbox, Updates and Promotions. With Inbox still being the gmail hosted main inbox and Updates and Promotions now being local folders stored in my local thunderbird installation.

Can the Thunderbird UI be configured to display folders as tabs as a default setting? I tried the "folder selection" button under customize on the toolbar but that just gives me a drop down, which is not what I want.

I am trying to set up a visualization of the columns of the main interface. Here's what I do:

1. Click on the list icon in the top right corner.
2. Uncheck the columns I want to hide. Specifically, From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB).
3. Apply the selection to all folders: click on the icon in the top right corner, apply columns to.. > folders and its children... > select account > Confirm

These actions produce immediate results. However, the next day or a few days later, when I reopen the program, the column display changes. Sometimes in the main folder (inbox), sometimes in the subfolders.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to keep the desired column configuration stable?

Using a new, clean install of Xubuntu 26.04, with thunderbird 140.10.2esr 64 bit, ubuntu snap build 1.0. In settings: play a sound when new message arrives, no sound is heard. When clicking "play" to test the sound, there is no sound. Also, if "use the following sound file" is checked, there is no sound when "play" is clicked. (I have tried various .wav and .mp3 files.) I have installed pipewire-alsa, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

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?

Earlier in the year I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used an older version on an older PC. When visiting a web site (and clicking on an email hyperlink there) my previous version used to automatically launch Thunderbird but the new version doesn't do that any more (i.e. clicking email hyperlinks doesn't do anything at all)

I'm running on Windows 10 and using Thunderbird version 150.0.2. I this likely to be due to some setting in Thunderbird? Or is it maybe something I need to configure in Windows?
