As we sunset the WP Forms that we’ve been using for Distribution List Changes, I need for everyone to update the link in your signature for Distribution List Changes. My signature doesn’t have that line because I email so many people beyond clients…

Your signatures of course do have a line that invites clients to click here in order to submit change requests for their distribution lists.

Moving forward – please use this link as the hyperlink within your signature.

Please confirm with me once done, and let me know if you have any questions.

This is from my boss. How do I do it?

Hi,

I used to scroll up in current message using Shift+Space, but it stopped working for a few days now. it's not mentionned in moving around TB, so I don't know if it was normal behaviour or a feature added by TB's arch maintainer.

How do I make Thunderbird open a new window instead of another tab? When I open a PDF file, setting, address book, or other, it always goes to a new tab. When I want to close this file, I often forget it's a tab and close the whole program! Annoying! I want these thing to open in new windows instead where I can hit close without shutting down Thunderbird.

After several hours of trying to figure out why a folder didn't show certain messages, I realised that I had selected a Custom View a few days ago and it still applied quietly when I selected that folder. This is not the first time I fall for it. Is there a way TB would show that a Custom View filtered out some of the messages? Eg the Custom View button could be depressed, or the background in the messages pane would be different, or something. As it is now, I think I won't use the feature again and save myself hours of scratching my head in the future.

Since our clocks/time went back one hour last weekend, Thunderbird for Mac is displaying the incorrect time. It displays the time as 1 hour ahead, effectively hasn't accepted the time change. The system time is correct, and Thunderbird is set to read system time. I have also tried changing it to "set manually" to our location, it makes no difference. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

I'm on Windows 11.

Moving Thunderbird to the system tray was working correctly in previous versions, but since the latest update to Thunderbird 1560.1, clicking X sends Thunderbird to the taskbar instead of the system tray.

Thunderbird is not pinned to the taskbar.

I have also tested the setting with the option disabled, restarted Thunderbird completely, then enabled it again and retested. The behaviour is unchanged.

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,

My Inbox folder has suddenly dropped to second last position in the folder list. How can I get it back to the top of the list? Is it possible to move the folders around?

156.0.1 RSS subscriptions function normally Clicking on "Manage Subscriptions" button in "Account Settings - RSS" does nothing. Running in Troubleshooting Mode doesn't help.

Thanks,

Steven

I am using Thunderbird on Windows, and I want to hide the yellow “Your privacy is protected” notification bar but still have the privacy protection enabled.

I tried to use a userChrome.css in my Thunderbird profile; here is the path; (C:\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\lz1po89m.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css). I also set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true, but the customization does not work.

If anyone can please help and/or advise me on the correct procedure or CSS selector for this version I would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

In my one account in Thunderbird, I still have the old POP folders, that was a different account. I also have an IMAP account, both have the same address. The pop one does not work but the folders are there, I use them to look old mails up, so far so good. When I sent out an email with my IMAP account, the sent mail goes into the sent folder of the IMAP account, so far so good. BUT when I click on that sent mail and click on reply, it replies to the same address that what it already was sent to, now here comes the problem. THAT copy of the mail, I called the NEW sent, does not go into my sent folder. It goes directly into the sent folder of my old pop account. Even though everything on the IMAP account is standard, re-sent mails are not placed in the IMAP account sent folder. What am I doing wrong here, I know when writing the mail is that I can choose the send address and if I change that it goes in the IMAP sent folder but why is it standard on my old POP account, and why not on the IMAP account even though the IMAP is the standard?

Until a couple of days ago, I could single-click on a message and the contents would show up in a column in the same window. Now (presumably because of an upgrade to 156.0.1) this does not work. I have to double-click and then the message appears in a new window or tab ... which I then have to close. Very irritating! The earlier way meant that I could quickly scan through messages with far fewer clicks. Is this how it is now or is there a setting I could use to revert? On my other computer, I still have release 154.0 and I see the earlier (good!) behaviour! Help!

I've been using Thunderbird for about two months now and I just realized that Thunderbird (150.0.1) seems to be unable (or unwilling) to use some of the fonts that are on the computer (Windows 10, plenty of RAM and disk space).

Let me explain that I don't send a lot of emails, and most of the ones I do send are just a few lines so I had not had any reason to bother with the font -- the default font was fine -- until today...

Today my experience with fonts in Thunderbird was extremely disappointing. It started when I was composing an email and I copied/pasted some text from a web page into the email. Rather than treating the pasted text as simply text to have in the default font, Thunderbird put it in some strange font and size. This might have been Thunderbird's attempt to use the font from the website but neither the font nor the size resembled the text that I had copied/pasted. That was when I noticed that Thunderbird does not let you choose the actual size but only offers the choice to make text larger or smaller. Making the text smaller was sufficient for that particular time.

As I finished the email, I tried to sign my usual signature. Thunderbird lets you choose the font but once I had chosen the font that I routinely use for my signature, I discovered that Thunderbird totally ignores the choice that it just let you make. Instead of displaying the signature in the chosen font, it displayed my signature in a plain sanserif font.

I could live with a limited choice of fonts -- I have used another program where the only choices were serif and sanserif -- but I cannot understand why Thunderbird would offer a font choice menu that includes all my installed fonts when it actually only honors three choices. The only fonts reliably used seem to be some generic sanserif font that Tunderbird calls Helvetica/Ariel, a generic serif font that it calls Times and another serif font it calls Courier.

The dropdown menu lets me choose any of the fonts I have installed, some of them display properly while composing the email, others don't. If I send the email to another of my email addresses, Thunderbird displays the text the same way -- some fonts are correct and some fonts get replaced with one of Thunderbird's generic fonts.

I'd really like to have all my fonts available -- but that doesn't seem to be possible with Thunderbird so I guess I need to figure out which fonts Thunderbird is willing to use.

Hi, I have had Thunderstorm on my old laptop for several years, and Sent folder is visible and working. Now I installed Thunderstorm on my new laptop, and Sent folder won't show up. I deleted Thunderstorm on the old laptop and reinstalled and Sent folder visible again. I've checked a lot of tips on this and followed them, please see screen dump below. All settings between old and new laptop look the same except the advice "Under place a copy in, choose the Sent folder" where it in my old one is checked with second option "Other place" and set on "myname/Infolder/Sent". When I move the mouse over "myname" and "Infolder" and then "Sent" appears and may be chosen. In my new laptop first option is set as default, and second option is available with "myname/Infolder", but "Sent" folder with its airplane icon is not visible and can't be chosen. Anyone know what to do? I appreciate all comments. Best regards, Torbjorn
