I was happily typing along and noticed both a typo and the fact that the typo was NOT underlined in red squiggles. Hmmmm, I thought.

Fiddling around, I discovered an option on right-click that allowed Me to turn on spellcheck. Now, every time I type in an email or forum, on Twitter, anywhere, I have to right-click to be sure of My spelling.

Thus began My efforts to find how to set the button to be on by default... Finding none led Me to "Help," which a search of the term "spellcheck default" led Me to a zero in returns. Sure, there were discussions with those terms, but I could not prowl them all looking for the method of setting spellcheck to be on by default. The first few pages yielded nothing...

So if You would please, direct Me to that function. [smile]

Thank You.

When I begin to type a name into the To: line, can options appear from my address book so that I can just click on the option rather than have to consult my address book every time

I don't want Thunderbird to automatically add email addresses to my personal address book. Also, when creating or forwarding email, how can I use my personal address book?

I have software that sends emails out for reports. The software calls the default mail client (Thunderbird) and sends the email. However this opens Thunderbird and gets in the way. Is there anyway that this could send the email without opening Thunderbird? Can it run in the background like outlook express? It needs to close after email is sent.

Messages look great when I send them but when people reply I see my message was in dorky skinny letters which means that is what my recipient saw. I can fix this by checking "rich text" under "delivery format" but I have to do it each time I send an email. How do I set "rich text" as a default?

Thank you

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.

I recently installed Thunderbird because I need to batch print a folder of emails. Apparently, older versions of Thunderbird allowed this function; but I can't find this print function on 24.4.0. I also have not been able to find any batch-printing add-ons via Mozilla.

Does anyone know of any reliable freeware that will allow me to print multiple email conversations/threads at once?

Thanks

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.

I am using Thunderbird 24.4.0 on a MacBook Mountain Lion. I have three email accounts - about to drop one having changed provider. Each account has different message pane buttons, not by intention, none have the full set, and the full set cannot be restored by right-clicking to customize and selecting 'restore default set'. Thanks. Tanya

I'm from the Outlook.com team at Microsoft and would love to get "Outlook.com" as one of the free options for 'New Email Address' within Thunderbird.

As far as I understand, Thunderbird is run by this community, rather than Mozilla's corp team. Who would be best to speak to, and what would you need from us?

Thanks,

The Outlook.com Team

In my opinion, it would be a great feature to have "Archive" as a filter action. That way I could create a filter that finds messages older than X days and "archive" them. This way we, the users, will not depend on other users writing and maintaining add-ons, which do this very simple action. I hope this is consider as a feature request.

Thank you.

I am setting up a client to receive emails from an online service request form.... he's not tech saavy and wants all incoming emails to print out on his printer upon arrival. When he gets in at the end of the day, he wants a stack of printed emails/forms from which he can return calls. I know this can be done in MS Outlook (ugh)... hoping you can do the same or better!! I'm a longtime user and rely on Tbird...

I 'm running under windows 8.1, with last version of thunderbird; i'installed the option module 0.4 to recover deleted e-mails, but may I know the procedure to use to recover the deleted e-mails and how it works ? Thanks Rgds. J.Pierre

Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

Thunderbird's address book has columns for telephone numbers. Is there a feature or add-on that allows one to click on the telephone number and have it dial that number through a PC's modem? Wordperfect Office had that feature in its address book but it has been removed in versions that work with Windows 7. I feel lost without it.

I wish to use Win8.1 FileHistory to "ghost copy" my email folders (along with MyDocuments) onto a backup computer on my local net. Is it possible to change the location of the PROFILES folder from its AppData/Thunderbird path to a MyDocuments path? Do I simply change the Profile.ini file in some manner? Thanks...
