There is a way to add a folder to a Thunderbird account that combines other folders. The one I want to create would be "Inbox and Sent emails combined". I did it in the past, but I can't remember how to do it anymore. Can someone help with this? I am running Thunderbird 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Linux Mint.

Hey friends, n00b questions - how do I allow pop ups on a website again?

I accidentally clicked too fast and clicked to not allow pop ups again on a site I need a window to pop up.

I went to settings to make an exception for the website, but it still does not work.

Any help please?

Please allow us to choose per website whether it should always/never be opened in its respective app or if it should always be asked about.

Personally, I hate when websites like YouTube, Wikipedia or Reddit open in app without my permission, but I have a few payment cervices and a local government ID system that ALWAYS require a redirect through an app, so, at least to me, granular control of this feature - to always allow some, but not all websites - would be absolutely indispensable.

Edge for Android has had this feature for a long time, and, as far as I know, it is the only existing Android browser to do so. But I am not going to use Edge :( I am attaching two screenshots of how it's been implemented in Edge though.

Hello! It seems Thunderbird emails are suddenly being 'threaded'. It is causing great confusion in my office.

I need to see each email from a person separately in order to find them easily and also to reply to each one at the time it is received.

Can someone please explain in very simple non-techy jargon:- a) How I 'unthread' messages already threaded AND b) How I stop any new ones being threaded in the first place.

Thank you Tylex

Hello,

Why the hell did you guys decide to change the sort order of the "Move to" and "Copy to" Right-Click menu folders? How annoying! This makes Thunderbird *less* user friendly, not more user friendly. Do you guys even use Thunderbird? I suspect not, or you would have realized what a bad decision this was. I use these right-click menus every day, and now, because you guys decided to sort the order based on last used, I have to HUNT for the folder each time, because it is constantly changing! Before, I would know where that folder was in the list before I even right-clicked. Unless this gets fixed, I will go back to an older version of Thunderbird.

Instead of spending time changing features for the worse, how about doing something useful, like making Thunderbird work correctly with Protonmail?

Thanks!

Pretty straight forward I signed[into my Mozilla account it told me I could at à device by simply hitting sign in and then ready to scan but I'm already signed on on mobile and when I try and hit sign in it does absolutely nothing

This is what my messages look like . How do I get every line after "DATE" to not print like it used to. I am on version 115.10.1 My email is Fredwise@earthlink.net

i am confused at this point: Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

The row background and text colours can be set with css (see picture):

/* row bg, text colours for selected messages table view*/ tr[is="thread-row"].selected {

 color: white !important;
 background-color: red !important; 

}

Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colours as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

When copying and pasting from one application to another, by using Ctrl + Shift + V to paste without format to Google Docs, I keep getting a "Paste" pop up that I've never gotten until now. It keeps getting in the way and I don't see a way to remove it.

It's making copying and pasting very difficult and is driving me up the wall.

Just reinstalled and re-setup Thunderbird. This morning, a window popped up on my desktop titled: Activity Monitor. Never seen this before. Did I turn on something to make it appear? Can I turn it off?

Hello people,

When I compose a message in my word programme (Softmaker or Libre), save it in Docx format and copy/paste it into Thunderbird to send it everything is double spaced and nothing I do in the "compose" menu can change that.

I have tried it with "Use Paragraph Format" checked and unchecked and it stays doule spaced and nothing I can find in previous threads seems to address this problem.

What am I missing?

I am trying to set up a visualization of the columns of the main interface. Here's what I do:

1. Click on the list icon in the top right corner.
2. Uncheck the columns I want to hide. Specifically, From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB).
3. Apply the selection to all folders: click on the icon in the top right corner, apply columns to.. > folders and its children... > select account > Confirm

These actions produce immediate results. However, the next day or a few days later, when I reopen the program, the column display changes. Sometimes in the main folder (inbox), sometimes in the subfolders.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to keep the desired column configuration stable?

Hello.

I've found myself to rely on Firefox for some specific workflows that require sending emails that are generated automatically by a website, and I use it across multiple devices, such as Windows, macOS.

Unfortunately, when it comes to iOS, using the aforementioned website, when tapping the relevant "mailto" button, nothing happens.

Some months ago the specific website that I use, was failing to do this action on any webkit browser, but this was later patched by the developer and the flow now works correctly within Safari. This was caused by stricter enforcement of "user-initiated" actions.

Unfortunately it seems that Firefox isn't either capable of invoking the mail client, or get the data from the website properly.
