Når jeg sletter en mail vises på bundlinien ikonet at der stadig er en mail så ikke er læst. Først når jeg trykker på en tilfældig fane forsvinder det. Hvordan kan det ændres.

I recently updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and have been using Thunderbird for my 4 email accounts for about a decade. Since the update, all my sent messages have a > sign next to them which I have to click on to view the various messages sent to the same person, with the latest message chronologically displayed near the bottom of the grouping. My thread option has been unselected. This is a new and unwanted layout and I only wish to see my emails displayed individually and chronologically, with the most recent near the top. How do I remove these groupings with the > icons and just see each message displayed individually? My frantic research only points to installing/selecting an 'add on' perhaps. I just want to see my sent emails individually like I have for the last decade as well as in my folders from previous years. SEND HELP!

I can't find a setting that will allow marking messages as read only after I read them. By that I mean only after I click on the message to open it in its own tab. I view the new messages in a split screen.

The current settings allow me to leave them bold as if I hadn't read them even after I've clicked on the message and viewed it in the full TB pane

or

Mark them as read as soon as they're displayed in the bottom half of the split screen.

I don't find either of these options desirable.

Hello everyone

I recently upgraded from TB 69 to the latest TB (after a crucial add-on finally got updated), and I'm generally happy with it, except for one little irk:

In Classic layout, the preview pane now contain multiple messages. As far as I can tell, it contains all messages of the selected thread, in date order (not in message list order). I would prefer the preview pane to contain just ONE message, namely the currently selected message. It is annoying to have to click repeatedly inside the preview pane to access the individual messages in the preview pane. It is also visually confusing (to me).

What's worse, the messages in the preview pane do not follow the normal threading: they appear to be shown in order of date, not in the order of the messages in the message list.

In the screenshot, you can see the thread has 11 messages, and in the message list there are three subthreads. The preview pane also shows the 11 messages, but not in the same order as in the message list. Plus, in order for me to read any messages, I need to click inside the preview pane to fold each message in or out.

I prefer a situation where I can click a single message in the message list, and a single message is shown in the preview pane. Is this possible with the latest TB?

Thanks.

Thunderbird 128.14.0esr on Debian 13 KDE. Email is in Classic View.

The mail headers take up far too much space.

Here's an example of the problem: http://map.atownsend.org.uk/tmp/Screenshot_20250829_150825_2.png . As you can see, about 50% of the UI is taken up by headers. I like the general layout (tree at the left, not included in screenshot, list of messages above and the message itself below) and I like the contents of the headers (I don't want to display fewer; I'd just like them to take up less space).

Changing the font via edit / settings / font / size has no effect on the headers (it may be changing the size of the text within the message, but I can't really see enough of that to be sure).

How do I change the font within the headers to a different, smaller, value?

Hi, I would like my incoming mail list to show each individual email as a separate item and more importantly with it's own arrival date, not as they currently are; all under the first email with that subject heading.

Hi I've recently started using Thunderbird & have made several customisations & created a userChrome.css file. I find the yellow star on a starred message a bit to easy to miss. Is there a way to either make the yellow star another colour or to make the starred message in the message list another colour (like Outlook does)? The only info I have found so far makes all stars change colour - starred on unstarred. That defeats my objective. Thanks, Tony

Please explain this option in Account Settings > Synchronization & Storage > Disk Space:

"To recover disk space, old messages can be permanently deleted, both local copies and originals on the remote server." [Then, there are options to allow you to decide how far back you want to save messages from deletion.]

First, I do see that this is not a global setting but is able to be set differently for each email account within Thunderbird, which is great. But it doesn't say whether these deleted messages will draw from EVERY folder or just the TRASH. I need the ability to apply this option to solely the TRASH folder, like "Delete messages older than 90 days," for example. There are messages in the Inbox that I need to save for a year or more, including emailed tickets or travel info, for example.

Look forward to your explanation!

For a while now firefox has been unable to enter fullscreen when pressing F11. Instead all it does is move the "Scroll forwards", "Open a new tab", and "List all tabs" button over slightly (The buttons on the top right, next to the minimize and close buttons).

I don't know what's going on with firefox.

Firefox Version 142.0.1 (64-bit)

Dear filter specialists,

On a Windows 10 computer with TB Portable 128.6 and .7, folders can no longer be selected in the filters as ‘Run filter on’ or ‘perform these Actions’: the menu is greyed out. The phenomenon occurs with all accounts: POP and local. Various email providers, ESET virus scanner, Windows firewall, FritzBox cable router. The local account contains almost 30 GB of emails. The existing filters work as long as they do not affect the accounts or folders: for example, tagging e-mails works. Existing filters with folder-actions cannot be re-configured and no folder actions are possible when creating a new filter.

I have performed an update check and restarted Windows, changed the compression limit from 500 to 5 MB and changed a few minor settings so that the config is rewritten.

What could this be? How do I solve the problem? A workaround if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help.

Good morning Is there a way to set up my own preferred default column layout to one that suits me I have 40+ folders and changing every one on new install and when updates are issued is a real pain I am on release 143.0.1 (64-bit) Many thanks John

I recently transferred my Thunderbird email to a new Windows 11 laptop. Everything is ok, except the font size in received emails can best be described as very tiny. I've tried everything to increase the font size, but nothing helps. My screen has a resolution of 2880x 1880 Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I want to send messages I delete to a Trash folder on my laptop, rather than the Trash folder on the server. Is there some way to do this? I'm looking at:

Server Settings > Security Settings > When I delete a message

This only gives me the option save deleted messages somewhere on the server.

(I have given up all hope of convincing Thunderbird to download all my messages, but fixing the Trash problem will make the program at least useable, from my POV!)

When I write a meesage, the send button and all the other buttons (e.g. file, edit, insert.... cannot seen. What has happened. How do I restore them so I can send and write messages?

I have Version 128.5.2esr (64-bit), it says it is up to date.

So I've been noticing a couple of days now that I can no longer view messages in the message pane to the right of the screen. When I click on an email in the list on the left, the top of the pane on the right shows me the To, From, subject etc, as well as a yellow bar saying "Warning: To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message." Then, nothing underneath this. Where it used to show the email contents. I do NOT want to have to double click every single email in my inbox to look at them in a separate tab. Most of what I get is not useful. I want to be able to click once and preview the email, then click Down to check the next one, and on and on the same as Thunderbird did it LAST WEEK.

Can someone help me get it back to working please? Thanks!

Hello, When I open the window to write a new email the toolbar is missing. I can't see the buttons for "send" or "attach" or any other options.(you can see it on the picture) How can I restore the toolbar? Thank you for your help. Best regards, Bokor Vanessza
