email remover was apparently removed in program updates. Downloaded new June 2018 tool, but it's a big mystery on where to look for it on T-Bird dashboard, and what to do with it once located. When I open the downloaded file, T-Bird creates an email!

Cannot invoke duplicate email removal tool. Totally lacking follow-through. BD

Hi: I had the newest Update of Thunderbird Ver 52.7.0 installed in my PC running Windows 7 - Home Premium and was shocked that during this Update installation my foreign language Dictionary (Czech) installed in Thunderbird before this automatic-updating has disappeared. This is a very serious Software flaw because I was using this Dictionary for many years, and during several years I've added many unique foreign language words & terms and it is therefore very important for my correspondence with people abroad. My critical questions are:

1) does Thunderbird keeps a back up-copy of such an important part of this Software somewhere in the Thunderbird installation Directory so that I could recover/re-install it? 2) What are the specific step-by-step guidelines to install any additional Dictionary into Thunderbird? I've spent MANY HOURS trying to install a new copy of the Czech Language Add-On following the suggested procedure but it does NOT work - have anyone from the Programmers checked if this installation procedure actually works? An earlier advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After the last update, Thunderbird no longer requires a password be entered to sign into my emails. Hence all my emails are available to whoever opens Thunderbird. How do I get the Profile Password feature back again? This has nothing to do with the Master Password.

Using only my Address Book (not a CSV) as the source in a Mail Merge, where do I find and how do I label elements available to use in personalizing the mailing?

1. I want the subject line in each email generated in a Mail Merge to contain the first name of its recipient, and I may wish the body of each email to contain that element as well as others. Surely I should be able to do that using a mailing list from my Address Book as the source of my recipients, without having to resort to the use of a separate CSV file each time!

2. I believe I must identify each element to appear personalized by enclosing it in double brackets, e.g., {{First}}. But that doesn't appear to work, and neither does {{First Name}}. What am I doing wrong?

In "Account Settings > Outgoing SMTP Servers" I expected to have the ability to fully specify authentication options for each server. Conversely, I have discovered that I can only set the authentication method to "Normal Password" but I can't set the actual password.

Even though I'm using multiple outgoing SMTP servers, in "Preferences > Security > Passwords" I can only see one IMAP server and one SMTP server.

How can I set the password for the other SMTP servers?

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 60.0 due to daily crashes with v 52.9, and appear to have lost all control over how much screen real estate the app takes up relative to my desktop size, and the size of non-zoomable font elements.

Stuff that used to work: - the Theme and Font Size Changer (even the "unofficial non-expire" version) add-on - editing "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" in the config editor - setting "font-size:" in the "chrome/userChrome.css"

None of these seem to have any effect any more. I see lots of people posting similar questions this year, but can't find reliable answers for 60.0 onwards.

This is a major issue for me, it basically makes a 4K screen unusable for my eyesight and workflow.

Any suggestions for what *will* work, or pointers on how to fix/re-enable any of the above ?
