I-Thunderbird Community Forum

Supposedly, according to this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail#w_archiving-messages , I should be able to set Archiving to simply "All Mail" so that it matches Gmail's way of archiving (ie, just has zero labels). However, that option doesn't show up for me. I can't even force it by selecting 'All Mail' as an IMAP folder as its not listed as being available to subscribe to. I've checked my Gmail settings on the web and IMAP is enabled and there isn't anything further to set. I'd like "Archive" to work like Archive in Gmail. And not that i'm entirely considering it, why can't I subscribe to "All Mail" if I wanted (so i could theoretically search all mail locally, etc). I've attached a screenshot of what Mozilla says I should set Archive to, but I simply can't find "All Mail".

I've installed this addon, but can't get it to work. I choose the Link option for file sending and a page opens, I pick Dropbox and it says Click on the link. I get taken to Dropbox and get a code to put into Flelink, but what do I do with it? There doesn't seem to be any way of going forward and, if I go to Thunderbird, there is a box presumably for the code, but the text next to it is greyed out. What am I supposed to do?

I have about 20 address books in Thunderbird because I find it easy to group contacts into an address book and then use the "Is In Address Book" option to apply to emails and move them to folders.

There was a change to address books in Thunderbird a year or so ago and now I can't see which address book a contact is in without browsing each one.

I can find the contact by looking at "All Address Books" but that doesn't show me which address book(s) it's in, which would be really handy.

Am I missing something or is there an option/extension that would display it?

Hope I explained this clearly.

Creating a simple template seems very difficult for a non-coder.

Can I download ready-made templates or create a very simple template that just has an image at the top and text underneath, both the same width of 590px.

Hope it is easy. Regards

on today screen, there is more width than height, so it's more readable to have a "left to right stacking" instead of "top down" on thunderbid it seems that the stacking is "left to right" for the folder tree view and calendar, but "top down" for the email thread view and message display. I want to have the tread view displayed at right of message, so that I can read the message without scrolling.... eg : folder | threads | message display | calendar instead of

          |        thread                            |

folder | --------------------------- | calendar

          |     message                           |

how can I do that?

I can't stop Thunderbird 102.3. threading all messages. I want threading only as an option. I've tried 'untick' on Menu>View >Threading>All, but it won't untick.

I had many repeated messages that TB couldn't be updated, but I have installed 102.3.0 and it seems to work in all other respects.

When I use Outlook once the email has been downloaded it remains in Outlook even if I delete the email on the web server. When I use Thunderbird however, even though I have downloaded the message, when I delete from the web server it deletes the email in Thunderbird as well? How can I get around this please? Any ideas?

For years, I've had a custom sound file selected to play when mail arrives. This has always worked fine.

Yesterday I decided to have a change and chose a different file. However, TB doesn't play anything when mail arrives.

I checked the settings, and all seems fine, see attached screenshot.

• If I click the Play button, nothing happens.
• If I change back to the previous sound file, nothing happens.
• If I change it to use the default sound, then both the Play button and the notification work fine

Both the previous and new sound files play fine on my PC, as do all other sound files.

Anyone any idea why TB won't play a sound file?

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.

Kubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird 102.7.1 (64-bit)

I simply cannot change the default browser from Chrome to Firefox.

• Firefox is my default browser.
• I've set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true.
• I've edited the attachment entries for https and http to "always ask"
• I've delete the attachment entries for https and http

No success. Thunberbird always reverts the setting to Chrome.

This should not be so complicated :( Why not a simple setting "Default browers" and pick one from there?

All of a sudden, my email font size was huge. I went to settings and changed the minimum font size to 12 (Times New Roman).

However, when I compose a message, the font size is very tiny. I'm guessing the size is less than 6. But when the message is sent, the font size is bigger.

if I increase the font size of the message I'm composing, with the "increase font size button" so that I can read it, once I send the message, the font size of the sent message will be huge.

How can I change the font size of the messages being composed and have it send the message with the same font size?

I'm using version 102.4.2 on a Mac computer.

Thanks,

I cannot permanently get rid of threads. The latest thunderbird makes that the default. I would like all e-mails shown, by name or by date. The new find doesn't allow choice of sender or recipient or topic which was better. I am getting so irritated that I am considering, after many years of use, of ditching Thunderbird for something else.

I am unable to reduce size of folder pane. When move across interface line between folder pane and reading pane the mouse pointer changes to a double ended arrow as it should but...a. the folder pane grows by 1 character to the right on every occurance. and b. trying to drag line to the left has no effect. However, dragging it to the right works fine. The end result is that I now have a 10" wide folder pane and a 1" wide reading pane. This is a windows PC running Edge. All updates are up to date.

When I delete a file from my Inbox in Thunderbird, I want a copy to stay on Gmail. I used IMAP to configure the incoming and outcoming mail in Thunderbird, but it always moves every deleted file to trash in my Gmail.

I would like to add a second account (POP 3) to be used ONLY for incoming mail, and use the same, original account (Gmail, IMAP) for all outgoing mail. But I cannot continue with the setup unless I also set up an outgoing server.

I upgraded to Thunderbird 102.8.0, and messages in the message pane are double-spaced. How can I get back to single spacing? I've tried various code examples in userChrome.css and userContent.css and I've changed "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" to True, but none of this works. Any OTHER ideas? Thanks...
