Isisombululo esikhethiwe

The 'Title Bar' is missing. Are you still using the very outdated version of Thunderbird version 52 ?

Things have changed somewhat since then. Version 52 is about three years old.

Try this: 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab or 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab

  • Click on 'Config Editor' button - it will tell you to be careful :)
  • In top search type: title
  • look for this line: mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar
  • If Value = 'True', double click on the line to toggle the 'True' to 'False'
  • close Config Editor window - top right X
  • click on 'OK' to save and close Options

Please report back on whether this solved your problem.
