Thunderbird Community Forum

This site has been very helpful to me. I thank you and I have a new question now that my e-mail is operational. I am a New York Times digital subscriber. As such I am allowed to gift a certain number of articles each month. Today when I tried to do that I was given a choice of paths for sending articles, Gmail and a few more with an option for other. But I don't know what to tell the New York Times as to how I want to be hooked to Thunderbird as the vehicle for gifting my allotted articles to others. Can someone help? Thank you, Doug

It takes to clicks to delete an item in the list or else moving the cursor to the detail screen. How can you change the format to put a trashcan next to the star button. Outlook presents a red trashcan when you move the cursor over the email title.

Is there a way to reformat the view to add this delete trashcan.

I get the green light for creating an account... but it goes yellow tag when I click Done. Will you help, please. I am able to log into my account online with the same PW I have to use in setting up the Thunderbird account. Thanks from a donation customer. //... Joe

I need Thunderbird to keep upper-case letters at the beginning of sentences when I do this. I also need my name to keep the first letter upper-case. Show me how to do this, please.

The filters function is a great function but I have a bit of a complex question where filters are concerned. I want to create 30, 60, 90 day purge rules with a list of email addresses attached to each such that those specific emails from the specified addresses are deleted at the selected intervals.

Is there a way to create single time-based purge rules using a list of email addresses or must I create a purge rule for each email address individually? E.g., <Match Any of the Following> From > Is > email@example1.com From > Is > email@example2.com Age in Days > Is Greater Than > 30 <Perform These Actions> Delete Message

The way I understand the syntax of instructions, each operator is an either/or so the filter when executed would DELETE ANY message greater than 30 days AND ANY message from @example 1 or @example2. Is that reading correct or am I reading the syntax operators wrong?

However, I want the purge rule to delete only those messages from @example1 & example 2 that are 30 days old. Are my filter criteria correct in the example above to achieve this aim or should I use different instructions?

Is it possible to enter multiple email addresses in a single filter criteria and what's the proper syntax? (e.g., From > Is > email@example1.com; email@example2.com OR email@example1.com, email@example2.com)

Presently I have minimize Thunderbird to tray icon set, this is fine. But I want Thunderbird to minimize to tray icon when I click the 'X' instead of closing out altogether. Since there's no setting for this, is there some kind of secret sauce like an add-on or a manual mod of the registry to enable this?

Many thanks.

Thunderbird currently automatically collects email on start-up. I would like it to collect email only when I request it, not automatically. Is there a setting for that? Thanks for your help.

Hey Folks. I have a couple of questions about email threading. I did try to search this before I posted

1) I have such long email chains that when threaded, the email at the bottom (new email) gets hidden behind the next column. I would like to change the order so that

• A)new emails go to the top of the inbox list (or the whole chain does)
• B) inside the thread, the new email is at the top of the list, so that the old emails are pushed under the next column instead.

I tried changing some of the "mailnews...." settings from 1 to 2 and 18 to 21, but they didnt really have the effect I thought they would.

Also, Im not sure why, but sometimes a member will reply to the thread, change the subject line, and send a new email. So the new email has remnants of the old thread, but a different subject. For some reason, these emails are placed in the original chain, however indented more to the left, instead of being placed in a a new chain. Is there a way to change this so that a new subject has its own chain?

Thanks for your help

Hello. When creating a filter, add the ability to create a folder if it was not created in advance. Because if you forgot to create a folder in advance during the creation of the filter, then you need to cancel all filter settings, go create a folder and only then re-create the filter for letters

I'm new to this Thunderbird thing. When I want to forward an e-mail to some of my contacts, the new message includes a whole lot of stuff like: X-Account-Key: account1 X-UIDL: ANRwYBEIR+KrZsX9vQTKkBuB6kw X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: Received: from 127.0.0.1 by atlas-production.v2-mail-prod1-bf1.omega.yahoo.com pod-id atlas--production-bf1-566596458d-mfvgh.bf1.yahoo.com with HTTP; Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:46:20 +0000 Return-Path: <bounce-mc.us5_11364951.351548-5bbafe5c9f@mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net> X-Originating-Ip: [198.2.142.231] Received-SPF: pass (domain of mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net designates 198.2.142.231 as permitted sender) Authentication-Results: atlas-production.v2-mail-prod1-bf1.omega.yahoo.com; dkim=pass header.i=@fbl.mcsv.net header.s=k1; dkim=pass header.i=@israellawcenter.org header.s=k3; spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net; dmarc=pass(p=QUARANTINE) header.from=israellawcenter.org; X-Apparently-To: rabel380915@rogers.com; Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:46:21 +0000 X-YMailISG: uTTry64WLDvQyypCA8NuFVo6amMGsGK9.q_plWqv8.cYMXNs tVkFqGBa_uQwlr0oWSdvUvskkh_LrX5Ffn1HzwdKoPoyuItQ7HB4AUJ1Tymz H9UjSdjzfxDfrKmikcAdGUZKPmlIJ3wFBwI655eEEbdsgVNhXqJR9K9EIoXu xp4Xb1TRFtiqXU0jMxkfKOpZfIE6arIMNq5wg3pPNDQpMFw4yMuy3Ppj4OGv zPRmPhfoarp7aePbUzuXHxNpqbBwPbDn_w3qvB._9Wh8swB3N4ZiNMxGhmLp rNJhwQEKpqdSivZbhAOxQ5oxBXXIhmRNQsFgjbcWmxHZ4uOTenyuZ8fS6upj S.fxJfPjWJieKz7tuQ0.0HdiVWYdczfEY.0qE4FddiW.3m5XG5HP.CWBQ4XU CEGHUUZcPOs3U3j_gcFVECRikL2bs2.IzyHz2NU9zyOf6YBAOTQzT1Wy7Nl0 yX6kBD3puwpclaCxUys9UxFxBT.oywupPJCtCQS.YGQ4m9wFxCCJtGm54FvC 80t8tJc7uRgWs_Lpipj9YZV4nJm5.2cNbbkDgXaK31QNj3I8IUsuOBJSnDWS fDjI5jMhq8IGyK0Y1L50yjyb.JaTl.d_bgTxEfihAZPhvAx9woxXF1JWb24V Q7ojiEuRoLg9LH9.xP4MJAZ8RJ_uNwpdLG9iXq.98iX5T3VDq8tiOkJGsgSQ bC_rao7j4XFaPLLpQBtmCPo8uf1L0Ge28paaR5KFKjtKCIHTP4th2Tc06DDG AYw2b.4RvIG9qAyIqVzyQh2q1NKKJXt8Mgn41vJ17BU3QAxINqkH2ZQyBD35 I9coRQSr8gZRFOyDck3s3WEiyO6Sf0IKsuWHBW1YAs20funTMApYsNYpxzWY GW9xMu0E3dueJvDZutmUKCEubaJLEI5s_3MqVPNqRCbmUO.oychst6xogcwd Y50n0L_3m.NvRq7ui2Rzf589MrFoDNxP2Zq3JJbC3MY46dQsj90xRkQx2XYb okThK2mOdFYZNL1JCt5o_1G0UB54iB.whpSVmiKcN1R2Bv4K7ifyCdICJHjd 0wuioz44Md7qTsHmvzdxh7A7kJJoHQ4E2dUwNN9lh_hgzUezU3Yo3ChSsAFU RK.02a_wV.7BU9HJE3oUCeYRPcRavjj10CXBP.zKzNdT2NIOR0Og9SJCmBZ5 meQ0KV11f8VMrBV1Q9eQKnNP.262P7W3uLYlwI4dDJrfU77CGLG72ZAMbfUu cxFHGdrMbiYxo5V33j6.U4KfJRrfKuyAXQbjThr4QH87ZGCgaYhnUQTJZkbB NdfqYV2ZvGcH2eX1uw--

Is there a setting that allows me to exclude all this? I cannot recognize any kind of setting in "Settings" or "Account Settings" that allows me to control this issue. Best regards, Rudi Abel

Curious if there is a way to turn off email notifications for only some email accounts logged into Thunderbird. We have several different email accounts we monitor with my business, and we don't require a notification for all of them & would love if there was a way to select which accounts you want live notifications for. Thanks!

I'm using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.5. Every once and a while, when Thunderbird crashes (unfortunately frequent, because of the numbers of folders and emails), my unified folder suddenly contains *all* of my folders, rather than just the 2 inboxes from my 2 different accounts, which is what I want and what I set up when I configured unified.

When I go into properties --> "select the folders to search" it allows me to uncheck 1 folder at a time. BUT I have 1,931 folders !

Is there a way to uncheck all folders in "select the folders to search" and then I can just check inbox in each of my 2 accounts?

With the release of 128 the plug-ins that sync contacts from our Exchange server to Thunderbird no longer work.

For EXISTING accounts already set up how can I have these accounts sync the contacts with the exchange server?

Hello, If you could explain what happen that caused my emails below a given point, having been received before the emails above said given point (about 20 emails ) will not open as usual, but instead I need to open in a different tab after right clicking. If I go to "conversations" I can see my incoming email. Hope that sort of explains the problem that I don't understand? Thanks for any help. Lee

My Version of Thunderbird is: 128.1.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 computer. After recent automatic update, the Inbox list font or sizes were changed. I have managed to isolate the style and edited it to my liking. But I do not know how to save it or make it permanent on my computer. My Changes are as follows( Copied from Developer Toolbar):

Screen shot of changes is attached below:
