How can I set the email message sort to descending date for all folders in all accounts? With many accounts with many folders each, manually changing the sort from ascending to descending is a lot of needless work. A global default is needed, and if there is one, I can't find it.

Is Thunderbird ever going to fix the 'custom colours'? After the last major update, TB would not longer hold any custom colours. This is problematic because the colours offered are either too light or too dark to be read easily.

I have tried several times to add my icloud imap mail account to TB without success.

I have been able to talk to a live person at Apple and they have tried there best to help me. They have an app. specific passwords for third party applications. I have used this password in my setup with TB.

The enclosed image shows the settings from Apple for this mail account. A second image shows the error message when trying to send an email from this icloud account.

I would really appreciate any help you can give me to fix this problem. Linda

New addons on Firefox become blank on restarting the browser.

They return when I manually disable and enable them once.

How to fix this? Doesn't happen to older addons.

SLES 15.5 QU2 in Mozilla Firefox 115.8.0esr was not supporting window.close() even i added user_pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true); in user.js and prefs.js

Whenever I log on to my bank's web site, I'm sent an audible signal that invites me to start a chat session with a bank agent. The problem is that the audible alert is so loud that it startles me. This is very annoying. I called the bank's help line and was told there was no way they could adjust the sound volume. I would like to know if it's possible for Firefox to decrease the volume for that web site.

If I mark a message as Unread, it appears in the list of messages in boldface type. But I am finding it very hard to distinguish those in bold from other messages that have been read and are not bold. Is there anything in advanced settings that would allow me to change the fill colour in the listing box, or perhaps the colour of the type, in order to distinguish unread messages more visibly from those I have read? Thanks!

Up to now I have been using the FireTray add-on, this is no longer working in Thunderbird 60 even if I enable legacy add-ons. I do believe that Thunderbird is making a catastrophic mistake by cutting itself off from a large part of its add-on ecosystem, but I don’t want to debate that here. What I think is really missing is some form of indicator that new e-mail has arrived (not unread but new) that is not transient. If I leave my screen for a while with a minimised TB process running, I will now have to maximise the window and check all accounts (actually, all folders that might receive new mail via filtering) to see if I have missed a new mail notification while I was away. The same applies if I was at the screen but focused on something else. With FireTray I would have seen a change in the tray icon. Now it seems that I have to check the folder pane for a colour change in the names of all candidate accounts or folders. I cannot believe that TB developers want to force us to do constantly inspect the window, so I’d like to know how I am supposed to be able to check if new email has arrived without having to maximise the window. Any suggestions?

Hello, I have Win8 with black borders, so I can't read and see inactive tabs at all. (http://i.imgur.com/9feS5wN.png ) I want to change the text color and make it so that the hover effect is displayed at all times. (http://i.imgur.com/wRubuQ3.png )

I found a bunch of different things to do, like "tab:not([selected="true"]" ".tabmail-tab" but none of it works. So which identifier (or whatever it's called) can I use? And how can I achieve the hover effect?

I hope someone can help, thanks in advance :)

Edit: I got the hover effect working, it's in a post on the bottom of the page.

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?

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.

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.

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 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!

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?

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.
