I just automatically updated my Thunderbird installation. Only after the update was I told that the ImportExportTools NG incompatible with the new version. One of the reasons for using T'bird is for archiving old messages (mainly gmail). Are there plans to update the add-on or is there a work around for importing .mbox files ?

When I open "Extensions" (about:addons) by clicking the Extensions icon, I want it to start on my own extensions, not Recommendations. How can I make "Extensions" open to the actual Extensions tab? Or can I remove the "Recommendations" tab entirely?

I already saw [to remove 'Recommendations' tab in about:addons]. But about:config

 extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled = false

only removes recommendations from the Extensions tab. And adding

 extensions.getAddons.showPane = false

does not work, the Recommendations tab is still there.

I've tried following both methods for dissabling the mute button on tabs, it's a slight annoyance, since it's easy to accidentally mute a tab when it's pinned.

Specifically, the first method I've tried changing the setting in about:config called "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" from true to false, which was from 7 years ago it seems, which had no effect.

The second method was by making a new rule in a "userChrome.css" file in a new folder called "chrome" with that exact naming, case sensitive. The code in that file is as follows:

/* Hide the mute/unmute button */
.tab-icon-overlay:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) {
    display: none !important;
}
/* Keep site icon visible on hover */
.tabbrowser-tab:hover .tab-icon-stack:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) > :not(.tab-icon-overlay), 
     /* for site icon with Compact density */
:root[uidensity="compact"] .tab-icon-stack:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) > :not(.tab-icon-overlay) {
    opacity: 1 !important; /* overrides full transparency with full opacity */
}

If there's an updated version of the code that's meant to have that effect in modern firefox, then please let me know, or if there's some other new way of removing the mute button on tabs. Thanks.

Hello,

a few days ago I switched to the new version 115 and I find it very nice. In my daily work, I use View > Folders > Unread Folders most often.

If I now open unread mails in a folder, the folder is actually no longer an "unread folder". In the "old" version of Thunderbird, folders were refreshed at irregular intervals and folders were automatically hidden when there were no more new mails to read.

This no longer happens with 115. Here the read folders remain visible all day or until I manually select View > Folders > Unread Folders again.

I would therefore be very pleased if this old function were possible again.

Thank you and best regards from Berlin Florian

I cannot figure out how to enlarge the print in the window that displays the list of e-mails. I have found a place to specify font and have tried that, but that does not affect anything in the window I have mentioned. On my old computer (Win 10, 64 bit), I found the font on that window large enough. Not now with my new computer (Win 11, home). I suppose I am running an earlier version of Thunderbird on the old computer? (I haven't yet found the 'about' tab for Thunderbird -- not Firefox, to tell me what version I am running.)

I use Thunderbird 115.1.0. "Show only display name for people in my address book" is not selected in the preferences. The "Full Address column" Add-on does not work with version 115.*

In all folders the names of message senders/recipients are displayed instead of the e-mail addresses. For example, it shows "My Name" in the outbox - not name@example.org, my@name.com etc. In the inbox, it is "Anna Bel" and "Zack Miller" instead of "support@mozilla.org".

I am not interested in the names. When I want to see those, I look into the mail. I need the mail addresses!

How do I get back the addresses? (I think Netscape Mail did have that feature.)

The chosen answer to a similar question, "use Full Address column Add-on", does not work for Thunderbird 115.* and up.

I've searched the knowledge base already, and can't quite find the answer to my question.

I use Thunderbird 115.1.0 on Windows. My eyesight isn't the best, so I've had to set the font larger. But I can't find any way to increase the height of the rows; that is, the space between messages on the list. There used to be a "row height" among the config options; I can't find that now -- or perhaps it is called something else.

I support Thunderbird and have used it for years -- but I'm older now, and can't see as well. I can't continue to use Thunderbird if there's no way to adjust the height of the rows.

I'm familiar enough with CSS to create a userChrome.css file; I just need to know the exact code to include.

Thank you.

Recently migrating from a MS mail client to Thunderbird, I'm used to working exclusively with what T'bird calls Unified Folders, rarely using the All Folders view. Junk and Trash can be deleted in their respective Unified Folders by doing a CTRL+A and the Delete key, but it makes me a bit nervous as this action could inadvertently be applied to the Unified Inbox or Sent folders as well. But a right-click and selection of Empty Folder at least makes one stop and think. I do miss the "Are you sure..." warnings that MS optionally provided; I wonder if there is an add-on that might provide that?

Just upgraded to "SUPERNOVA" (115.2.2) and the text (Drop downs, Folder Pane, message headers and Inbox) looks like it got hit by a black hole. Sorry folks, I'm getting old but I'd rather not wear reading glasses at the computer. Did not have this problem before the upgrade. I've checked the forum but the fixes do not work (also note the screen layout has changed some with the update). I can read the messages as they are both larger and subject to the zoom function.

While it may seem minor, for those of us who have been using TB for a many years and aging in the process this is a major problem. While the update, what I can see of it looks interesting, at present I am stuck with the horrible prospect of expanding my (forced) use of Outlook from just my work email to all my emails.

Is there a simple fix? And I would suggest this be fixed in an update.
