Thunderbird Community Forum

Hello, I want to change first day of the week to Monday (who on earth would have Sunday as the fist work day??) Problem: All instructions online are useless since there is no "Options" / no "Preferences" / in Settings there is no "Calendar" or anything referring to Calendar. Under Settings there is only General, Composition, Privacy & Security, Chat and Export for Mobile. Nothing for Calendar. Also in Calendar view ... nothing to change days order. All online articles seem to be outdated (2021 and older)and don't apply anymore. Someone advised the reboot Thunderbird ... ? How to do that? Just close it down at the X?

Please help.

Thanks

Guten Tag

Könnten die Programmierer der Benutzeroberfläche in Thunderbird den Teil, wo "von", "an", "Betreff" und "Antwort an" aufgeführt ist, schmaler gestalten (Zeilen näher zusammen), so dass etwas weniger von der Bildschirmansicht verdeckt wird? In älteren Versionen war das deutlich besser gelöst. Wäre toll, wenn das bei der nächsten Aktualisierung berücksichtigt wird.

Danke, dass sich jemand darum kümmert.

LG, Irène

I saw an image in here from someone replying to a different question where they had an actual icon for their unread mail status rather than the dot. How do you do that? Thanks!

Hi All, When I use Thunderbird's calendar to schedule an event it always defaults to the next available time. For example if I go into the calendar and pick a Tuesday 1pm-2pm slot on Monday at 8:30 the event pops up defaulted to Tuesday 9:00-10:00. Is this a setting I can change? To get it to pop up with an event Tues. 1-2. Thanks, Lisa

Like some other users, my TB (v134.0.1) was still slow to find and download my emails. Even though TB was lightning fast for years before this slowness epidemic started, I decided to fiddle with settings. I tried various things that seemed logical, but had no success until I changed the "Connection Security" in "Server Settings" for all my accounts from SSL/TLS to STARTTLS. My guess is that the TB devs have changed the way it communicates with mail servers about security and some can't deal with it quickly enough!

Your mileage will likely vary, so make a note of your settings before changing anything and only ever change one type of setting at a time in only one account before doing a test. I hope this helps at least some users and reduces their frustration.

In making changes to several email accounts I inadvertently deleted the smtp passwords stored in Thunderbird for some Yahoo accounts including my Rogers account, which used Yahoo. I reinstalled the accounts, I can receive email on those accounts but can't send messages unless I enter the SMTP passwords when I try to send a mssage. Is there some way to reset the SMTP password for an account? The attached shows the settings for the current Rogers account.

For some reason, I have two Thuderbird Apps (please see Image attached). I'm afraid of deleting one because I didn't want to lose any content/emails. Can someone please let me know the best course of action (and, put my mind at rest if I follow any directions/suggestions that I won't lose anything?!).

Thank you in advance.

Ich konnte unter "Posteingang" Unterordner anlegen, um E-Mails darin zu verteilen. Früher konnte man dieselben Unterordnernamen auch unter "Gesendet" erstellen und ich möchte das auch wieder machen. Wieso wird das nicht mehr angeboten? Gibt es einen Ersatz?

Is it possible to change the default calendar in Thunderbird so that my google calendar is automatically used when creating a new event rather than "Home"? It would be useful when creating events not to have to remember to change the Calendar from Home to another from the drop down menu. Grateful for any help.

First of all I want to apologize for my lack of knowledge. I know almost nothing about HTML and CSS, but I've decided to start using some desktop e-mail client and since Thunderbird looks quite boring and I was bored too, I've tried to customize it.

Now I've got a few questions. :)

In this guide https://developer.thunderbird.net/add-ons/web-extension-themes is stated that for each variable, not only for our custom variables (--my-variable-one etc.) we should declare such variable in the style.css, then assign a key to it and then declare a value for that key.

I've started preparing my theme this way, especially that I've mainly used special keys provided by TB developers in the Theme API, but I've discovered that declaring style directly in the css file also works.

So should we always put values in json file or can we jus load css via json?

I ask because I want to change the color of the left panel in the calendar view. To be honest, I still haven't checked if declaring three separate longhand properties would work, but I wanted to pass an array to get the

1. calsidebar_splitter,
2. listSplitter {

   border-inline-start: 1px solid #0f66bd !important;

}

So initially I've wrote in css:

1. calsidebar_splitter,
2. listSplitter {

   border-inline-start: var(--my-splitter-color);

}

and unfortunately writing something like that:

"splitter_color": "--my-splitter-color"

and

"splitter_color": "[1px, solid, rgb(15, 102, 189)]

doesn't work. :/

When I forward a message to someone, I have the problem, that since ca. 2024 (a new version), at the beginning of my message are included (reproduced) all the informations from the original sender. It includes half a page or more of dates, which nobody needs. How can I reduce it?

This is an example of a mail, which I get from Thunderbird and would forward it (please answer me by mail):
