In 115.8.0 (and earlier versions), the plain text Write window text area ignores the Colors shown everywhere else. Even if I choose Edit->Settings or Tools->Settings from the Write window toolbar, and select Composition in the Settings window, I get color choices that affect all other windows, and even the Write window header line and the dropdown menus from the Write toolbar, but NOT the Write window toolbar itself, nor the content I'm composing!

The text of the content I'm writing is decently visible, but the background behind it is medium gray, and the quoted text I'm replying to is a pale green almost indistinguishable from the pale gray background. Miserable for my lousy vision...

Is there some trick to getting that text area to follow the colors seen everywhere else in Thunderbird?

Sometimes I occured the situation that the mailbox's size on server lik 500Mb the IMAP catalogue took 80Gb of disk space. What might be the reason. Using 'cleaning' option does not help.

OS: Windows 11 Pro (23H2) Tb Version: 115.9.0 (64-Bit)

This is more a design question. With the Supernove release you moved the search bar and action icon into the top of the window. So on the email and calendar tab all the buttons are now on the very top next to search bar.

I configured to create new appointments in a new tab, not an extra window. But in this appointment tab the action buttons are in a seperate action bar below the tabs for email and calendar and not next to the search bar on top like I would have expected it according to the new design. I added screenshot to describe better what I mean. Is it planned to move the action buttons to the top for the new apointment tab?`

In general it is a bit annoying that the height of the toolbar on top varies. Like if there are buttons and you choose "show text below symbols" for it the toolbar is higher, of course. But then if you have a tab without symbols, e.g. the settings-tab or the new appointment tab, the height of the toolbar reduces. It would be great if this could be standardized.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint.

Yesterday, I performed a complete reformat and upgrade to the latest version of Mint and I've been struggling to read emails in Thunderbird ever since. The text in the emails I receive is absolutely tiny - I'd say it was almost impressively small if it weren't so infuriating.

I've included a screenshot example of what I'm talking about. Note the size of the subject line at the top to see the disparity.

I've scoured the support pages and carefully followed the instructions given, but the aside from increasing the font of the program itself, there is no change in the text size of the messages themselves.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,

I have set-up an outlook account on thunderbird, and I have troubles synchronizing the sent messages.

I have:

  • on outlook, a 'Sent Items' folder
  • on TB, a 'sent' folder, whose remote address point to imap://mailaddress@outlook.office365.com/Sent (which I can't change it seems)

So far:

  • when I send an email with TB, I obtain a 'save message error', but the message is sent and a copy is placed in outlook 'sent items'. And nothing shows up in TB 'sent folder'
  • when I send an email with outlook, it does not show up in TB 'Sent' folder

Hence, I have everything right on outlook, but all sent messages are missing in TB. How can I solve this, having 'Sent items' from outlook sync with 'Sent' of TB ?

Note: in TB 'account settings/copies and folders/, in place copy in, the sent items of outlook does not show up.

Thanks !

When I send email with an attachment (not very large attachment) it takes forever and then I eventually get a message back that the out going server has timed out and the message is then automatically saved in my Draft folder. However, it seems the message and attachment are actually sent and received by the recipient. Is the system not recognizing that the message is complete and just stays in the send mode until the server times out?

I am trying to add a new account to thunderbird. I filled out the appropriate information and checked on done. When the drop down window comes up it ask to sign on to my xfinity account to verify my account. But the drop down window does not provide a place to enter my password, just keeps saying that my ID or password is incorrect. I know that my information is valid, so how can I get my comcast e-mail address included on thunderbird?

I am currently using TB 115.9.0 (64 bit) but this problem has existed for a number of recent versions. I have a similar second machine with the same setup and version, same email accounts, and this does not occur so the problem is specific to this machine.

Many times when moving or deleting emails TB freezes up and becomes unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. For example I will delete a spam email and then I can't do anything with TB at all (everything else in Windows 10 works fine during this period and I can for example browse in FF). There is no indication of any problem. I tried compacting and repairing every folder and nothing changed. A while back someone suggested I delete some index file and I did that, it took a couple of days for TB to re-index everything, but the problem persisted through that.

This is very annoying as I get a lot of spam and also file a lot of emails into folders and this really slows me down, having to keep trying to click on something and drag until it works etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When I create a new folder in Local Folders, the new folder shows in the list and also appears in the local directory. However, if I close and then reopen TB, the newly created folder does not show in the list of folders in the Local Folder even though it still appears in the local directory, and I can see that the new folder contains data by the file size. I still have old sub-folders that I created some time ago available as normal in the Local Folder and I'm wondering if the issue may have been caused by switching from pop3 to imap a while ago as the folders I can still see were created prior to the change - but I'm guessing. Can anyone please suggest how to get the Local Folder to show the invisible folders within it after I restart? Thanks. I'm using version 115.9.0 (32-bit) on windows 10.
