Monday afternoon I received a work-related email. I crafted a reply, and wanted to have it sent in the morning, so I pressed "Ctrl-Shift-Enter" to Send Later, which used had worked in the past.

The Send Later dialogue box did not appear, and I saw that the message was moved to my Outbox. Without any Send Now indication, I figured I'd just send it at that time.

The Reply arrow/symbol was on it, and I saw it in my Sent folder, so I figured it was sent.

Two days later, my client had not replied. She's always replied within 24 hours.

Wondering if she received my reply, I replied again, to her same email, sending it normally. The Reply arrow was still there, and that one was in my Sent folder too.

Today, my client wrote, implying she did not receive either message. How can I know if my message is really being sent? Is this a known issue? If so, is there a fix?

As described in [question] I am unable to install addons in Thunderbird: when attempting to install an addon, either via the in-app browser or via a file, a pop-up window appears for which "Add" and "Cancel" buttons do nothing (there is no way to move or remove the window without killing the process).

I am opening this question as this problem still persists over a year and many versions later.

Thunderbird V. 115.11.1-1 on 6.9.3-arch1-1 with Sway WM

When I try to install the Thunderbird Dutch language pack as an Add-On , then I got the message that the language pack is corrupt. It's not possible to download this add-on.

Hello!

I'm using Thunderbird 52.5.0 (64-bit) on Debian Stretch.

So I am following https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-search-engine-open-search to add a custom search engine to Thunderbird. (I want to add DDG as instructed at https://duck.co/help/desktop/thunderbird but for now I am following the support article.)

This is the google.xml https://pastebin.com/yRaXyJXb But I still can't see Google search engine in Preferences -> General -> Default Search Engine list. Am I missing something?

Any pointers will be really helpful.

Thank you!

Can I get an explanation for what this does

Is it supposed to do something different than the windows taskbar mouse thumbnail

I saw no difference when enabled.

When I use some distribution lists I want to expand the recipients and remove some. The "Expand Recipients" extension is great but it only shows the email addresses. Is it possible to show the names to make it easier to edit?

I have two groups of email addresses that I sent group mail to. If I want to exclude one or more people in a group due to the content or something but do not want to remove them from the group, how do I do this? I also forward mail to these groups and if one of the people in the group has sent me a message that I want to sent to the group, I want to remove the senders name before forwarding the message but do not want to remove the sender from the group. In my old email software when I add the groups to the message I could double click to show the mail addresses and remove any that I did not want to include for the current message, without removing them for the group.

For reasons I don't understand, TBird has suddenly changed its behavior in displaying plain-text messages as they are being composed. It used to be that TBird would wrap long lines to the window width, whatever that happened to be. If for example, I reduced the width of the window, TBird would automatically rewrap the lines to fit.

Now, however, TBird uses a specific width (NOT character count) and wraps all lines to that width. If I reduce the window width, a horizontal scroll bar appears and the lines do not rewrap. If I increase the window width, TBird continues to wrap the lines at its chosen width, leaving blank space to the right of the lines. I've made no changes to about:config.

Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it? Settings from about:config are:

  mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width; true

  mail.wrap_long_lines; true

  mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support; false

  mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed; true

  plain_text.wrap_long_lines; false

I've tried TBird with the last setting = true, but this didn't help. I've also tried TBird with addons disabled; again, no better.

I have the following constellation: Client A uses Windows10 and Outlook Client B uses Ubuntu and Thunderbird Client C uses Windows10 and Outlook All mail clients are set up to use POP3 to access the same Gmail account.

If client A downloads emails using Outlook, Client C downloads the same emails again. The same email exists on Client A and Client C. This is what is needed.

If Client B downloaded the emails from Gmail before the other clients accessed the mail account, Client A and/or Client C don't get them anymore. So the emails only exist on Client B.

How can I set up Thunderbird so that it downloads the emails but leaves them in a state that the other clients get them, too? I thought if I configure Thunderbird to leave the emails on the server that this is what will do the trick. It does leave them on the server but seems to mark them as downloaded. Can this be avoided/switched off?

If I log on to Gmail via the web front end I still see the messages in the inbox and they are marked unread.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Thunderbird 45 on Mac. I think the newest TB iteration lets the new email notification hang too long on the screen. Can't find a place to adjust the duration. Anyone know how it might be done? Thanks.

Hi There -

Well, in Thunderbird 60, my add-on, "select inbox" is disabled.

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/select-inbox/

I have just one Inbox, so when I open TB 60, I want it to always open in the Inbox view.

Will TB 60.0.1 correct this, or do I need another way. If so, kindly advise.

Many thanks! :)

Help! I can't see the tiny font with the newest update. It is not compatible with Theme Size and Font changer. Please make it compatible or include a way to change the font size of my email list within Thunderbird.

After the last update, Thunderbird no longer requires a password be entered to sign into my emails. Hence all my emails are available to whoever opens Thunderbird. How do I get the Profile Password feature back again? This has nothing to do with the Master Password.

I want to be able to sort folders manually without installing any add-ons for thunderbird I remember to sort them using config file but it was very long time ago.

Would you please remind the procedure for bringing up config file to sort folders number? Thank you

As per the header, Thunderbird updated itself to version 52.1.1 and I then tried to create a new message filter, but no matter what I do, It says I have no folders to move messages to...

I tried restarting with add-ons disabled?

Any and all suggestions considered, thanks for any help.

Is there an add on that can be customisd to auto correct typing errors in emails, like autocorrect in MS Word? I have searche add ons but cannot find what I need. Thank you
