I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Why is it that I am not able to search for this email when using an exact phrase that is in the email body? The normal searching works, but I don't use that because the threaded mode is bugged and it seems like another "wontfix" issue. Why is it that mozilla software is so buggy and the bugzilla mods would rather just lock your posts than address these issues?

Threading is something I, and indeed large numbers of Thunderbird users, do NOT want, ever.

Please provide an option to disable threading, across all folders, all acounts.

Even worse, the option to Ignore Thread, is simply a way to lose emails. To have a shortcut to hide a message, without even knowing, is crazy. Given how poor Windows control of focus is, and how easy it is to start typing but actually still be in the email listings, its inevitable that you will hit e.g. K or A or whatever, and cause bizarre effects or lose emails.

So I want to disable threading to avoid losing emails. I would also like to disable Archiving, and other functions, that are all simply ways to lose emails by accident.

Thanks.

With the recent change of putting new messages in a nested 'thread', new messages are still bold; But because it is now nested, one doesn't know if there is a new message at a glance like before.

I've seen in a comment posted here about the same situation but it involves creating css files and such.

Could thunderbird not make some adjustment and just highlight the top visible message as bold if there is a new message within it's thread?

I was a happy camper until V115 stuck its ugly nose into my interface.

Fonts on the interface are absolutely terrible and almost unreadable and cause rather severe eye strain.

I have tried going to Settings->Language & Appearance->Fonts & Colors->Advance and they will not change.

What am I missing.

I noticed that New Times Roman wasn't available as a font. What gives?

This is following my previous help request "Mail Toolbar missing in Thunderbird 115.3.1" So the unified toolbar appears to do what I want and it appeared after installing the google calendar plugin Button which worked OK although to the right of the search bar, later in the day after restarting Thunderbird the unified toolbar and google calendar button disappeared completely only visible is the search bar right click only shows menu bar with customise greyed out have looked at a number of replies regarding the issue non of which work - google calendar plugin button is installed but not visible anywhere.

After Thunderbird upgrade to Supernova on my Windows desktop, the "Mark as" button on the toolbar no longer toggles the status of the message. This was a really convenient feature.

Is there a way to get the "Mark as" button to work as it did before? If not, is there a way I can revert back to the pre-Supernova Thunderbird? It was a perfect program, but now with the change to the "Mark as" button and with the mouse scroll wheel no longer working (just in Supernova, works fine for everything else in Windows), seems like Thunderbird took steps backwards with Supernova.

Thunderbird changed screen view today, and it is a total disaster. Command links are a tiny unrecognizable icons. Is this a bad joke making our lives difficult, or perhaps you want us to leave Thunderbird and search for another email program?!

I tried to customize, but it did not fix anything. If the old well functioning version is no longer available, I will move to another email program.

Really disappointed

Every year in this season Thunderbird ESR(!!!) switches to a new version. Every year the new version is a lot worse of previous. Every year it introduces a lot of cosmetical changes that tha majority of users haven't requested nor approve. You're incompetent developers. You're ignorant men.

This version has changed a setting: I don't want that Thunderbird update itself automatically but you think that you know what it's better for me! You are morons! Regards

Hello and thanks for you replay. I use IMAP From my browser, I deleted an email and it went on my second "Delete" folder, icon rubbish can, but most of my deleted messages go to my "Deleted Messages' icon also rubbish can. Sent an email form my browser, it went in my "Sent" folder, icon Arrow. I adding a snap shot of the browser, here I think lies the problem.

I am afraid that I am not at all happy with the new version of Thunderbird. It may be that as I get used to it I will find some of the new features helpful, but right now I am more concerned about what was taken away that was helpful:

   a) I keep getting 'not responding' -- especially when trying to set my theme 'yet again (and again, and again)!!!!  I am mostly shut-in due to illness and the themes make a difference emotionally compared to a stark 'black and white'.  Furthermore, what is the point of having TB themes when they don't hold -- I often have to re-set mine several times a day

   b) tabs are now hidden -- I need to colour-code messages so I know which I need to get back to soon or can wait. Having them hidden under that new right arrow makes extra steps to do so

   c) the row of custom colours no longer hold: what is the point of being able set a row of custom colour if they don't hold!!!  I used different colours to indicate different responses in a thread -- thereby having an immediate way to see the order of responses.

   d) I need layers of sub-folders -- often to add a new name to a group I belong to, or a new year.  I have been asking again and again over several years for the ability to create a new sub-folder WHILE one is moving an email from the inbox to a folder or sub-folder.  Having to 'go' to the folder first, make a new sub-subfolder, return to the inbox, and then move the email is an unnecessary waste of time. 

   e) 'a picture says a thousand words' -- emojs are so useful in this way, especially when one is tired or can't think of the right words to say.  This feature was taken away years ago, and I wish that TB would bring it back.  The minimal 'yellow faces' are minimal useful.

   I am not techy enough to really understand what you have written below - what is a 'message context menu' and 'mock-ups'.  However, it seems to me that the TB functons (at least the ones that I need) are getting less and less useful and increasing 'cognitive burden'.

   Sorry to be so negative, but I do wonder who TB is trying to please/appease -- it is not this user.

   Blessings

Dear all, morning from Italy

I'm still finding the way to settle in Thunderbird app on my Mac Book Pro a Copany email that is from Outlook and Office365.

Even if i found the code for the setting, when the process is finalized it is possible to send an email well received for another personal account (i try in this way) but the sent email is not yet registered in proper folder in Thunderbird

The same is for an arriving email by third personal account

My necessity is to store all the communications cause important and cause i DON'T WANT use the web with Outlook.com page open on Apple.

Thank You so much for the attention and the support.

N.B. Let me sfecify is not the fist time i settle sucha kind of email company account.

VINCENZO

I place a copy of Sent emails into "Local Folders/SentCopies" to avoid brief retrieval delays after sending (I use IMAP accounts--Outlook and Gmaill).

Trouble is, my tree display of Local Folders includes Both a "SentCopies" folder and a "Sent" folder (apparently the Account Settings for Local Folders in the past was set for a day to "Sent" for "Place a copy...", before changing to "SentCopies.")

To clean up the tree display and make it less confusing, I would like to remove "Sent" from the Local Folder Display, and see only "SentCopies" in Local Folders, (and continue to see "Sent" and also each account in Unified Folders).

My question: If I use Windows file explorer to delete 2 folders and a file from the Profile/Mail/Local Folders...(the folders "Sent" and "Sent.mosmsgs" and the file "Sent.msf"), will the Unified folders and tree display for Unified and Local folders continue to work normally? Will TB continue to track "Sent" items for both accounts in Unified Folders/Sent, and continue to show and update the "SentCopies" folder in the tree display For Local Folders? And will those deletions remove the usless and confusing folder labeled "Sent" in the Local Folder tree display?

Thank you.

SuperNova is working fine with my two IMAP accounts.

Is there any way to achieve the above? Maybe with a plugin of some sort? Thanks!

Explanation (if you had any questions why this feature would be needed at all): This is a great way of sorting/viewing your emails by people rather than individual emails, while also maintaining the sorting of emails by date:

- it shows whom you received an email last, thereby allowing it to be your default view,
- keeps your inbox clean and neat, automatically, 
- makes it easy to see what is important and what is not,
- implements better threading (because threads based on subject lines fall apart very quickly),
- separates commercial emails from emails from friends and family without filters, and
- allows for very quick cleaning and organizing of emails, if you wanted to put them in folders or delete them. 

Some email clients implemented such feature in the past, sadly they are no longer available, not available for Linux, or no longer supported (Poco Mail for Windows, or Unibox for Mac, for example).

Thunderbird is the most full-featured email client today, with many plugins available, and I was hoping there was a way to do this, but if it exists, I did not find it myself.
