When upgraded to 159, I seem to have lost the icon change in the tray that there is new mail. Still get the Windows push notification, yet that does not suffice with the volume of mail we receive. Any suggestions?

New mail icon is not showing in the system tray (Windows 11; Thunderbird 159)

Over the past couple of days, I've discovered new mail in my inbox but the new mail icon (with the red dot) doesn't show in the system tray.

I get notifications of new mail, which is fine if I'm sitting at the computer. But the icon in my system tray doesn't change, so I never know if mail has arrived while I was away.

I've tried everything - both in Thunderbird settings and Windows system tray settings - and nothing is making a difference.

Is this happening to anyone else? Might it be a bug?

How to update icon and menus???

Hi

So I started up just now and when I started firefox it asked me what profile I wanted to use. I have only ever used one profile but I do believe there are some default ones as I seem to remember seeing multiple ones when I did some customizing awhile back.

Anyways I chose the one I always use and it loaded fine but I noticed in my task bar that the icon now shows a small profile icon.

I want the firefox icon there but I DO NOT want the profile icon on top of the icon as so many icons will pop up showing how many alerts you have and such and I DO NOT need a useless alert on the icon telling me which profile I am using.

I posted a screen shot of what my icon now looks like where as this morning before an apparent update it just showed the normal firefox icon.

So is there a way to remove that profile icon from the firefox icon?


Also I have noticed on my right click menu where I can select to open in a new tab and such it has also added grouping features to group tags. Is there a way to remove these unwanted options as I DO NOT want to group my tabs and it's annoying when I accidentally click that option instead of the new tab option. So for this is there a way to remove certain menu items that I do not need or want? I also added a screen shot for that menu question as well

Thanks!

I have the new VPN feature disabled, but I cannot remove it from the main menu reachable from the url bar (three dots). Even after turning it off, it stays at the top. Please let me remove it from the shelf. It is very distracting.

Maybe the settings page for it could also have a toggle to show/hide the VPN in edition to enable/disable. I tried the nimbus experiments and debug settings but the opt out does not persist.

In the short term, a secret setting would be appreciated.

Impossible to harmonize fonts for text and signature

We're planning to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird, but we have a hard time in harmonizing font sizes on text and signature. One of the issues is that fonts can be set to textual values tiny, small, medium, etc. w/o knowing what it corresponds to in pt. But lets explain what we tried so far: - Under Settings/ General / Language&Fonts, we defined Calibri 12 as default, what we repeated under Advanced for 'Latin' & 'Other Writing Fonts' - Under Settings / Composition, we defined Calibri / Medium for the HTML Style - The HTML-signature is defined using the Calibri 12 font But when creating a new message w/ these settings, the result is terrible as you can see in the example: disregard the fonts' color, just look at the font sizes.

Is there any simple solution?

On `about:keyboard` I rebound 'Full Screen' from F11 to Ctrl+Shift+F. This works for opening full screen, but it doesn't work for exiting full screen; I have to use F11 to exit.

I can't find any other setting for exiting full screen mode, so I assume this is simply an oversight by the devs, but if not, I'd appreciate help figuring out how to rebind exiting full screen as well.

Just moved on from Microsoft email. Hadn't tried Thunderbird in a few years and wanted to give it another try. It is all connected and working via an IMAP provider.

Issue is the arrangement of the folders. Sent, Trash, Spam and Drafts are sub folders of Inbox. Not a show stopper, just seems different and slightly inconvenient. Would like to pop those out so they were hanging off the account title. I found a 10 year old article about this that said the arrangement of these folders is dictated by the IMAP server. If this is the case, then I guess it is what it is.

Whenever I use Figma on Mac, in order to drag groups around, the keyboard shortcut for it is option + command + up/down arrows. In Firefox, this shortcut is overrided and instead switches between tabs. As it stands currently, there isn't any way to customize this behavior in about:keyboard.

Please update the setting to allow for customization in navigating between tabs!

Hi,

In my one account in Thunderbird, I still have the old POP folders, that was a different account. I also have an IMAP account, both have the same address. The pop one does not work but the folders are there, I use them to look old mails up, so far so good. When I sent out an email with my IMAP account, the sent mail goes into the sent folder of the IMAP account, so far so good. BUT when I click on that sent mail and click on reply, it replies to the same address that what it already was sent to, now here comes the problem. THAT copy of the mail, I called the NEW sent, does not go into my sent folder. It goes directly into the sent folder of my old pop account. Even though everything on the IMAP account is standard, re-sent mails are not placed in the IMAP account sent folder. What am I doing wrong here, I know when writing the mail is that I can choose the send address and if I change that it goes in the IMAP sent folder but why is it standard on my old POP account, and why not on the IMAP account even though the IMAP is the standard?
