Good morning all.

I was wondering if someone could assist me in standardizing email signatures when sending a new email, and replying to an email. Let me elaborate a little bit...

When I compose a new email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `composing.jpg` attachment.

When I reply to an email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `replies.jpg` attachment.

I appreciate any assistance someone can provide, and guide me to the best way of standardizing these bad boys.

Have a great day!

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein

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!

A fair number of folders in my primary email address's inbox have been out of sorted order for at least several months.

Most of them are folders I access quite often; they now appear AFTER what used to be the last folder ("Zoom").

If this is a "feature," I suggest moving the highest activity folders to the FRONT of the inbox rather than to the BACK.

HOW DO I RE-SORT MY INBOX FOLDERS?

Thank you.

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.

Headers are inconsequential, compared to the actual message content, I'm sure everybody will agree!

But on Thunderbird, recently, the headers take up almost HALF of the available space on the screen!

I have tried everything to reduce the message headers to ONE LINE (that is all it needs) but nothing works!!!

Have a look at FoxMail (screenshot below)! Compare it with how my Thunderbird looks (screenshot below)!

These are actual screenshots of what my entire screen looks like, with Thunderbird and FoxMail.

Foxmail has clean, simple, one line headers, with the message body taking up the maximum viewable space on the page! Thunderbird is almost 50% WASTED screen space!!!!

BTW the add-on / extension "Compact Headers" does not seem to work with the latest versions of Thunderbird.

Thank You!

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

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?

I believe that version 145.0, newly installed on the 9th December, 2025 was showing server folders correctly; the server folder name matched the client folder name.

After upgrading to 146.0 on the 10th December, the server folder names for some folders are displaying with different client folder names.

The IMAP account has both "spam" and "junk" folders, Thunderbird is now displaying both as "Spam", you can only determine which folder is which by showing folder properties. It appears to users that there are two "Spam" folders now and not the two distinct folders with their own names.

Similar behaviour is happening for "Sent" and "Sent Messages" folders, both now display as "Sent".

These changes are confusing, the client sees two "Spam" folders and two "Sent" folders instead of the original proper server folder names.

Why has the display name for these folders changed?

How can I get TB to display the real underlying folder names?

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!

I have TB setup to allow customstylesheets with userChrome and userContent.css files generated. I have userChrome setup to my liking. Now I want to modify the userContent.css file so that I can set the background color of almost all elements is #222226 except for email text, hyperlinks, and imbedded images. I have this setup now in userContent.css:

body { background-color: #222226 !important; }

{ color: white !important; /* Changes font color to white for all content */ }

This changes most elements the way I want but it also flips the color of other HTML content, embedded images for signatures and other html content so its inverted to unreadable white content with white text. Is there a way to set it up so that HTML content and images are not inverted?
