Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer: In Synchronization & Storage what are the pros and cons of selecting or not selecting this option for small or large email accounts?

My email used to put all my new emails at the top of the inbox. But recently it has started putting them in between the emails already in my inbox. How can I get my inbox to load my new emails at the top of the inbox?

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

I need to increase the font size of the display. It is about 8 point. I cannot find an article that says how to increase the display when I first open Thunderbird. I can increase the font form the actual message or replies.

An email displayed in dark mode modifies the formatting of the email. For example I received an email from Zillow. If in dark mode the images are cropped but in normal/white mode email is normal and I can see the whole imaged.

Hello:

In Thunderbird, a double-click no longer opened a highlighted email in a new tab as the 'Classic' setup used to do.

I ended up in system setting for the mouse/touchpad. The 'double click' slider had NO value set to it. The 'double click' test did not work.

I set 'a' value to the slider. Viola! The double click test works. Thunderbird works as it used to, as it has.

SOMEthing put a null value in the system settings. I had been nowhere around that function setting.

When I installed Thunderbird, I selected Custom Installation, thinking I would get an opportunity to select which components I wanted installed. All it allowed me to do is define the installation folder. Not very "customizable." Anyway, I already have a calendar app that I'm perfectly happy with, don't need a task manager, and don't use chat, Is there a way to remove those apps from Thunderbird?

Settings config section to "Incoming Mails," sub-section - "When new messages arrive" to: "Play a sound" buttons... "Play" and "Browse" are non-functional buttons.

Consequently, one cannot change the incoming notification sound.

BTW, the present link indicating a notification sound doesn't work, either.

I accidentally clicked on something at the top of the Inbox messages and suddenly everything was alphabetized. I've tried several times to figure out what happened and to get it back without bothering you, but have had no success. Now, of course, because I've tried so many things, the Inbox is really goofed up. Can you help me reset the Inbox so I don't have to go to All Mail to see my messages? I like having current messages at the top.

First know that I have threading turned on. I am unable to find how to thread several email messages that I know are related. How can I do that even though they may not automatically be threaded by certain wording? Thanks Russ Pond

At Thunderbird > Settings > Privacy & Security > under Passwords > "View Saved Password", the dialog box pops up correctly. But the size of the box is so small the columns can't display the complete info i.e. username, password, or date. When I hover on the column divider I get the left/right sizing arrow but nothing happens when I click & drag the arrow. I am on Thunderbird 159. Thanks.

Hi everybody, after switching from microsoft ews to graph using exchange server any response on a e-mail is starting at the bottom. I would like to have my response editor on top above the attached e-mail I am responding to. All other e-mail accounts are working this way but not on the Microsoft Graph e-mail account. Could someone please help ? Regards Thomas

Thunderbird 158.0. (64bit)

I'm not sure what to call the different parts of the compose-message window, so please look at the attached screenshot. I'd like to relocate some of the buttons from the top right corner to the lower left, below where the formatting buttons are. Is there a way to do so?

I'm not sure how to make a feature request, but here is one. Can it be made easier to sort message filters alphabetically? I currently have over two hundred of them, because each site I sign up for gets a unique email alias, and I set up associated filters for them (each goes into a dedicated folder in my Inbox). It's a pain to manually sort them in the list.
