I am struggling trying to get a consistent format in Thunderbird. First of all let me say that I am happy with the default use of paragraph style and if I want to have occasional single spacing I can use shift-enter instead of enter. Most queries on formatting seem to be about getting single spacing all the time. That is not my issue. That means that if I compose an email from scratch everything is just the way I want it, using the default settings. The problem arises when I reply to an email. The settings then seem to be ignored. For instance the line spacing can be fixed to single spacing whether I select paragraph or body text and no matter what I do I can't get it to follow the default behaviour. Also, I noticed that the font goes to "sans-serifArial" instead of the usual "Variable Width". In fact if I try to select "Variable Width" in the Format menu it is just ignored. How do I get the default composition settings when I reply to an incoming email?

I have a rule that moves email messages from backups to a 'Backup' folder. I also have another rule that moves emails address to myself to 'My Mail'.

When I start TB 128.11.1esr in the morning my 'Backup' and 'My Mail' folders show new email counts. When I click on 'My Mail' the number on it decreases and 'Backup' increases. This happens with other rules on other folders.

So, my question is this behavior caused my 'Message Filters' being triggered when I click a folder or potentially a latent refresh of the folders new email counts.

Thanks

Regarding: Thunderbird Version 128.11.1esr 　 Please tell me how to make folder pane wider than the system default width of the vertical layout. The reason of this question is that I cannot see full of folder names under the system default width.

After a power outage I restarted the computer and brought up Mozilla Thunderbird the email template I use and for my emails from GMail. All eamils with content from outside such as Amazon, Ebay, and other sites I use I cannot get the content to load up. I went into settings under "privacy" and clicked on allow all remote content and nothing happened. The "Option" tab on those emails is not anywhere to be seen that will allow me to click on it and from a drop down menu allow that content to be seen either.

How do I get back to content on those emails instead of the plain text that shows nothing of any content?

I just tried to change my local folders location. I first copied everything from the current location to the new location and then changed the location in the local folders settings. When I restarted, all of the folders appeared but all of the saved emails were gone. When I tried to reset the location to the original one I received the following message.

A subdirectory of the directory specified in the Local Directory setting is already used by the "jde@ehrenkrook.com" account. Please use a different directory (also attached)

How can I get all of the saved emails in the local directory to move as well?

Only in ~last two months *some* special characters and jpg images are being lost when email passed from att/Yahoo to TB. They are all present in Yahoo. Two friends using TB or Betterbird are both receiving these emails intact. My TB is set for auto update and I'm now at 128.11.1 est and there was a recent update. Problem never experienced before. What setting change could cause this? How to fix? In attached screenshot, opening quote s/b a large quote special character and image of book s/b in empty box. Thanks, Lynne

Hello,

i have multiple Thunderbird profiles which i start using seperate Shortcuts (.desktop files) and arguments: thunderbird -P 'profile-1' %u thunderbird -P 'profile-2' %u

But these seperate Profiles always get grouped together in the Taskbar. How can i avoid this? For FF there is some about:config setting (taskbar.grouping.useprofile)

When I highlight/select an email message and then switch the sort option from Date to From, the same email is no longer highlighted and selected. The highlighting changes to a softer color and I have to select the email message again. The message selected should still be selected when switching the sort option.

I have a thunderbird account with access from three different computers. I have two issues with the account: after more or less a week the last thirtish emails trasfer automatically to trash, so I usually retransfer them to the inbox manually. BUT this week they have been permanently deleted. Not by me, the emails just disappeared... they are not in the trash. Nor in the spam folder, nor archive. I understand I cannot recover the last emails, but I would like to know why the emails are transferring to the trash automatically in the first place. I tried looking at the settings but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Please let me know, thanks!
