Some while way back when I created & exported my address book as an LDIF file, lots of these links had the option for show remote content checked. As the list has grown the file has been re-exported as LDIF to keep it up to date

When I import the file for a clean profile, the remote content check box's have been reset. Needless to say as the list grows the number of contacts to reset also.

Is this unchecked by default for security reasons, Setting stored in some other file? Any way to import with this setting in tact

Until a few weeks ago I could minimize the Thunderbird window to fill only half my screen left to right. Now, it will only minimize to about 2/3 of my screen. When I drag the edge to a narrower position it goes only so far and stops. I don't know why all of a sudden this change occurred. Is there a way to make the minimized Thunderbird window narrower? I'm using Windows 7 Professional Version and Thunderbird version 24.4.

I have gone through all the settings. I've removed and re-created mail accounts. I've restarted Thunderbird. I've rebooted the macbook. Disabled all plug-ins and add-ons. Nothing gets rid of this erroneous count. This is what it looks like (sorta): Inbox Drafts Sent Junk (350)

  account1 (1)
  account2
  account3

etc.... Any help or sympathy appreciated. Linda

When I double click on the star next to a senders name in the header area to add them to my address book it pops up a small "Edit Contact" window. I select the address book I want the new address to go into and click "Edit Details". I enter the relevant info and click "OK". The new addresses always go into my Personal Addresses book instead of the book I selected in the original "Edit Contact" window. This is in Thunderbird 24.4.0. Tried it on 2 different PC's with the same result. One machine is Windows XP, the other is Windows 7. Any ideas?

Hi, I use structured subfolder system to keep my emails organized (hundreds and hundreds of folders). When I perform a search, get a list of results and within this list I find the email I was after, HOW do I locate the message? In other words, how can I open the folder which contains that particular email? Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

I disconnected my antivirus (Norton) and tried again, with no luck. Thunderbird says that I have 10 messages and tries to download, but then hangs up and quits. This happened all of a sudden with no seeming cause.

I'm trying to send a large attachment with Thunderbird using Filelink. First I have to configure a Filelink account. The first step in the instructions for configuring Filelink says:

"At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options

Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Options"

With Firefox open I click on the Firefox logo on the top left, but this apparently isn't the Firefox button as there's no Options option. Where is the Firefox button? Will the Menu button then appear? If not, where is the Menu button? Or is there another way to configure a Filelink account?

Nothing further to add

I have been through all the suggested fixes, but TB does not remember the passwords to my email accounts.

• The “Use Password Manager to remember the password” box does not appear in the “Enter Your Password” window.

• I have edited the prefs.js file... added the following line... user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", false); ... But the selection box still does not appear.

• I have moved the following files: key3.db and signons.sqlite ... nothing changes.

• I have reinstalled TB... nothing changes. It does implement a new instance of the key3.db and signons.sqlite files, but nothing changes.

• There is nothing in the "Saved Passwords" window.

I am at a complete loss for what to do next... except to switch to another email client.

When replying to an email, the entered/typed response is line-wrapped at distance that is much shorter than the original email. This did not occur prior to the installation of Enigmail.

Can't find a setting which would affect this. Viewing message as Original HTML

Using Thunderbird 24.3.0. Lightning also installed much before Enigmail with no problems.

Is there a way to edit the Subject of an email? At times the topic of conversation changes throughout an ongoing thread of emails, and I'd like to manage that by editing the Subject before filing it into a folder.

I would prefer to NOT send eMails immediately I hit the "SEND" button, but having to drop a menu down to "send later" is a pain

Can I configure Thunderbird to always send later or add a "send later" button to my toolbar??

Thanks

I know how to link a web url, but I cannot find a way to link an email address in the body of an email. I want the recipient of my email to be able to click on the email address that is displayed in my message and have it open a new email to that address on their computer like I have done in every other mail software. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, When composing an email I have chosen to have Thunderbird 24.4.0. check for misspelled words with both underline and spell check prior to sending. While testing I noticed that it underlined and spell checked everything except the "Subject" line. Thunderbird will underline misspelled words in the "Subject" line but won't look for a correct word prior to sending as it does with the body of the email. Are you aware of this and is a fix on the way?

Thanks so much -v-
