Hi,

I have just started using Thunderbird and I'm trying to change the default colour for a hyperlink.

I have tried about:config -> browser.anchor_color and browser.active_color but neither has worked.

I also tried using a user.js file but that didn't work either.

I would have thought this would be a fairly basic thing but it seems to be impossible.

I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

I have a thunderbird account with access from three different computers. I have two issues with the account: after more or less a week the last thirtish emails trasfer automatically to trash, so I usually retransfer them to the inbox manually. BUT this week they have been permanently deleted. Not by me, the emails just disappeared... they are not in the trash. Nor in the spam folder, nor archive. I understand I cannot recover the last emails, but I would like to know why the emails are transferring to the trash automatically in the first place. I tried looking at the settings but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Please let me know, thanks!

As noted in my question something odd has appeared in my Thunderbird Email. Can someone help me get back to all English. I double checked my TB settings and it appears they are all set correctly.

Thanks, Brad

Having trouble moving TB profile to new hard drive. HP Envy 360, Linux Mint 21.3 SSD crashed, but had a backup of the TB profile, not sure of the version of TB because of the crash. (and therefore can’t Export the files) Updated the computer with an M.2 stick and reinstalled Mint. Fine so far Installed TB, (which is 115.18), and have tried to copy and paste the old profile. Got the following message:

"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version..."

Have tried to import from the saved backup file, and got a red error message. Have tried to replace the Mail file of the new s2p4q…….. default with the Mail file of the backup. Have tried to Can’t figure out why clicking on the 93apdn…… default file only yields “times.json” (see attached pictures) Can’t figure out why in the new profile the 93apdn.. file isn’t the default, and not the s2p4q…

I feel the problem may be that I don’t understand why the 93apdn..default has (only) times.json, and that the .ini file lists it as the default.

It seemed so easy before, I never had to use Export/Import, it was so much easier to just replace the profile. I know it’s a known issue because others have mentioned it since an update of TB.

Any help welcome, thanks

Is there a way to hide all folders from Unified Folders except for the Inboxes? I have both, Unified Folders and All Folders visible in the sidebar. For drafts, sent, junk, trash, templates, etc. I prefer to use the respective folders under each email account shown All Folders. But I very much like the Unified Inbox. What I would like to achieve (see the little mock-up image I made):

• A Unified Inbox (expandable to show individual inboxes, as it is now).
• Then directly under that, I want the All Folders section to show.

From reading up on the Unified Folders I understand that they are just Saved Searches. So I thought of creating a new custom Saved Search and include all the Inboxes. But unfortunately that seems only possible as subfolders of specific accounts. So I tried and created a Saved Search with all inboxes and IMAP search on under Local Folders. But I can't move it to the top of the list. And it also is not expandable to show individual inboxes as under Unified Folders. Any ideas if something like on the image below is possible to achieve?

Hello! I have used Thunderbird for many years. Lately, it waits much too long to prompt compacting all accounts. When "Compact all folders when it will save over ..." is set down to 1MB total, it still does not prompt until it has to clear 30 or 40 MB.

It didn't do this in the past, prompting me every 2 or 3 days at higher settings. So, I'm curious if this is "normal" now and I need to manually compact, or if there is a problem with 'Account Settings > Disk Space > Compact all folders' ... ?

I've moved thunderbird between windows 10 computers several times without any issues in the past, but I'm having problems now.

My old PC is running windows 10 with the most up to date TB. New machine has windows 11.

In the past, it was just a case of installing TB on the new machine and replacing the profile folder there with the one from the old machine.

Now when I do this I get "your thunderbird profile could not be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"

Ay help with this woould be much appreciated

Somehow, an additional field has been added to my new message page which contains a bar with information on paragraph. fonts bold, text formation , etc. I do not want this there as I can not send the new email and I can not remove it. I just want to go back to thae way it has always been (default)

I can only open my emails by right clicking it and opening in new window. Also keeps asking for password every time I go on Thunderbird. Have tried solutions on the help pages and online for both problems but not much use. Some things on account settings and security are not there to select. Is it correct that if I uninstall Thunderbird and then reinstall it the same problems will be present?

It is very very hard to find new message. Years ago was so easy. Now it is near impossible. Must select special filter to view only unread. TB suppose to make it easier, not harder.

To change color of text or background is impossible. Once I found that must choose the color and close color changer. I did it once and again no way it works. Toooooooo complex. Even when I see the chosen color, and close two not one windows choosers (why two?). Again it is eeeextreeemly hard and often impossible to change color of text.

Please tell me how to make changes in settings to thunderbird appearance between sessions. I set Thunderbird to use the "table"format for incoming messages and it says "Views updated and installed" or something like that.My choices do not stick, and T-bird reverts back to some default view i do not like. This started when I installed a T-bird upgrade to automatically add new functions monthly.

1) How do i make my changes stick? 2) Or is this a bug that will be fixed in the next update? 3) Something else.

Thanks in advance,

Chris Wood

I created an email signature with Wisestamp. I use Gmail. In the web version of Gmail the signature appears properly, including the animated gif. I took a screen shot of the signature and attached the signature from a file. It looks fine but the animated gif doesn't work. I'm incredibly challenged with all of this. Not even sure if what I'm trying to do will even work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Connie Pyke

I have a rule that moves email messages from backups to a 'Backup' folder. I also have another rule that moves emails address to myself to 'My Mail'.

When I start TB 128.11.1esr in the morning my 'Backup' and 'My Mail' folders show new email counts. When I click on 'My Mail' the number on it decreases and 'Backup' increases. This happens with other rules on other folders.

So, my question is this behavior caused my 'Message Filters' being triggered when I click a folder or potentially a latent refresh of the folders new email counts.

Thanks

Onboarding with RSS subscriptions for a couple weeks and can't make any sense out of the folder hierarchy structure.

• UI's folder structure & the Subscription settings folder structure screenshots included.
• Folder A seems logically coherent: a "folder full of feeds". Single folder in UI. Multiple feeds (3) show up in the queue
• Folder B structure starts to become much more incoherent

   - Feed's are actually folders now. Sometimes.
       + Feed1 & Feed3 = folders. But UI 'folder' displays just the one feed, as if it was a feed.
       + Feed2 = folder, with the 'actual' feed within it. But then it displays in the exact same way as Feeds 1 and 3
   - seem to have contradictions running in both directions.
       + If they are feeds, is confusing they display with folder icon
       + Not clear why a feed-as-a-folder would display exactly the same as a feed-within-a-folder

• "feed7" situation I can't understand to be anything other than a bug.

   - Subscribed to the feed within folder C. It instead shows up in the UI in Folder B. 
       + Which bafflingly *only* includes feed7, and does not roll up or aggregate any of the feed/folders (whatever they are) within it.

Like the integration of having RSS within Thunderbird, but need some clarification. Docs (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-subscribe-news-feeds-and-blogs#w_folders-and-accounts) were not of use.

Thanks.

Just installed the latest 139 version on two computers, the system tray icon for unread messages appears in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11, and it isn't just 'hidden' as I have many icons hidden and just a few visible and have already checked that. Is the icon no longer part of the program?
