With my new monitor, I've run into a problem with the space available for the actual message. On the attached image, I'd like to completely delete the stuff circled in red. I don't use it and it takes up a lot of space. I've resized the first two columns as much as I can, but I still can't see any of my full messages unless I open them in a new window or tab, which is inconvenient.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

An example of an added space would be:

director-concertband@oceanside- music.ca

Note that after the second dash in my address above, in the saved HTML Sig Card, the space is added. When I remove the space and re-save the Sig card, the space still returns.

Also note that this happens ONLY in the signature card. The addressing in the email itself is correct. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

I'm aware (e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1277401) of how to toggle whether the message window stays open (opening the next message) when an email is moved or deleted. But I would dearly love for it to happen only sometimes.

Specifically, when a new message comes in, I want to read it, usually move or delete it, then read the next new message, if there is one. But if the next message is an old one, I don't want to keep having it shown to me. I keep my inbox fairly tidy, but I'm getting sick of seeing that message from a year ago that doesn't have a better place to be.

So, after moving or deleting a message, if there is an adjacent unread message, keep the window open. Otherwise, close it.

If there's an unread message somewhere else in the folder, don't jump to that one. Trust that I've left it unread for a good reason, and don't want to now constantly get shown it, and also have to remember to mark is as unread again.

If it's easier to look for other unread emails based on dates, a few days (enough to span a long weekend, for example) would probably be enough, a week at the most. Or make that number user-configurable.

I used to be able to set message filters to play a sound of my choosing after a message was filtered into a folder (a chime so i know when mail from a client arrives). For a while it was not an option, so I used various extensions that eventually were no longer supported (ToneQuilla, Mailbox Alert, FiltaQuilla, Soundmail). I suspect that the last one may have corrupted my Thunderbird and caused my recent issues, so I removed it (and now I have no extensions installed). Sound Mail is the only extension I can find that plays a sound for filtered mail only.

Meanwhile, the "Play Sound" option has appeared again in v155.0.1, but with no choice of sound file, and nothing plays. It's not a sound issue; other sounds play in other programs, and the normal new mail sound plays when I enable it (but I don't want sound notifications for all mail, just client mail).

Any solutions?

On early version of Thunderbird on Windows 7 I see the mesage window below the header window. I would like to see the same on the later version on Windows 10 and 11. So far I've been unable to find a control to do that.

Good afternoon

I have been struggling to find some messages specific to specific dates and spend an awful amount of time tryomh yo access the correct one.

The solution proposed is a bit unclear to me, as it refers to "future folders". I need to unthread all my messages. Is this possible?

Thanks

PS The only version number i could find was for Firefox. There does not seem to be one for Thunderbird.

Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

I have Win11, Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0, and several accounts (The box below won't take anything past "Thunderbird Window.")

I'm looking for some way to make a different ring either for one of the accounts or for certain domains or for a subfolder -- any way that I'll know when something comes in from specific domains. The special ring(s) can be for each of the two domains or both of them. Can that be done?

154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

I have "Allow remote content in messages" turned off. However I receive many messages for which I wish to allow it for that message. I do so and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is to have TB learn the message senders for whom I have allowed remote content so I don't have to click it every time. Is this a feature that is available that I am missing, or is it just not possible?

If not possible, please advise as I will submit for an enhancement.

Hi, in the vpn buil't in, it's not possible to change location (on Firefox android) however in the help that's indicated it should be, did I miss something ? thank you

This just started today. I am seeing question marks between the sentences in my messages. I had this issue a number of years ago and do not remember the fix. I am running the latest version on my Windows 7 desktop. It is just the new messages not the older ones in file.

Anyone remember the fix?

Thanks

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?

How can I specify which Thunderbird account is used when MAILTO is used in html? I know I can change the account to what I want after the new message window comes up but I always forget.
