I like to have all folders displayed - also if they are not 'subscribed'. The reason is that we have shared e-mail accounts and colleagues may create folders which I will not see until I know that I have to subscribe to the new folder. Every time I recognize this I do a Google search to find the checkbox 'Show only subscribed folders' and uncheck it. Would it be possible to put that in a more prominent place than 'Advanced...'? Or even better a global setting that all new accounts I connec inherit the setting "'Show only subscribed folders' unchecked".

Second time I am writing this. The first try upped and vanished when I was in "Troubleshooting" I believe. When FF starts up on this Win-11 laptop, left 25% of FF screen is obscured by popups concerned with articles in PC-Gamer. There must be some setting that will turn them off?

Hello :)

I used eMclient for years, but recently installed Thunderbird as my mail client. Does anyone know if my "Rules" in eMclient can be imported to Thunderbird ??

Thx for any/all assistance... Bob

I can not remove download window. I have gone into config and set to false, but as soon as I download something it resets to true. I absolutely hate and have always hated that thing. Any ideas??

Hello, how can I stop unwanted action by Firefox, on my Firefox homepage, from removing my 4 rows of shortcuts saved on Sep-23-2023, and replacing them today (Aug-05-2024) with Firefox’s recommended shortcuts that I do not want?

My user profile for windows became corrupted in some way and I couldn't get into the PC. In desperation I choose to reinstall windows. I assumed it would save my personal data but it would remove any apps. So when I reinstalled Thunderbird I had hoped to be able to link to my local folders. However, I can't. I've tried a few of the suggestions I've found on Mozilla forums but they're not working for me. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

1. Looking for settings to show/unshow folder counts in the folder list. My TB shows the counts. The example on TB web page does not show counts. 2. I am unable to get Unified Folders to "stick". I click it in View > Folders but it then unselects. Help appreciated, Chris Sackett Using new Nebula, which looks great!

When running Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit) on Linux, and using a custom button for Whatsapp or other site. Is there a way to store the login credentials for that site and in Thunderbird? This is for ease of logging in. As after searching I have not found anything on this topic.

I was wondering how I could disable these banner notifications whenever a download completes. I've tried setting `browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel` and `browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete` to false, as well as disabling plasma and GNOME. But they still seem to appear

In Outlook, when I navigate to a folder and reply to an email in that folder, the email I send is automatically categorised into that folder, and no other copy appears elsewhere (such as in the 'Sent' folder).

Is this behaviour natively possible in Thunderbird without resorting to an add-on?

I realise there is the option to 'Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to' in the 'Copies & Folders' settings of the email account, but this places a second copy in the 'Sent' folder. I tried experimenting with the radio button options '"Sent" Folder on' and 'Other' in the same settings section, but no combination seems to place one and only one email corresponding to the email I sent in the folder I emailed from without creating a copy in the 'Sent' folder of the account.

TB 128.0.1esr (64-bit), updated a couple of days ago, highlights the destination folder so faintly when I drag and drop an email from another folder that it's hard to be sure I've selected the right folder. Until now the highlighting has been prominent so drag-and-drop went much faster.

Is this hard-wired in the app? I checked the settings menus and don't find a user preference for controlling this highlighting.

Hi, I am writing on behalf of an elderly user who sometimes closes Thunderbird windows when making their way to other Thunderbird windows or Tabs which are open. This sometimes leads to the situation where, in the Windows taskbar, there is no blue Thunderbird icon visible, but there are Thunderbird Write icons visible (the black-coloured fat pencil icon). The problem is that the "Launched" or "Home" icon can vanish from the Taskbar even when the Thunderbird program is open, such as for writing an email.

This person's workflow requires the blue icon to be stable - it should never disappear from the Taskbar, even if certain Thunderbird windows are closed. I have tried explaining the logic and what to do, but after decades of using "forever stable" email software and their permanent "stable Home icons are always to be found in the Taskbar" I am unable to change the users' expectations about usability.(I am providing family IT support for my elderly parents and others.)

I would like to implement a script or install an add-in which ensures that the blue Thunderbird "Launched" or "Home" icon is permanently welded to the Taskbar, like a limpet, in all circumstances.

This "Sticky blue Home Thunderbird icon in the Taskbar" would be an acceptable usability outcome even if it means computer performance is degraded by allowing users to open multiple instances of Thunderbird.

Put plainly, they want it more and if performance is the price to pay, they will accept that price.

Is any such script available? Is there a switch in the coding I can change to enable stickiness? Is there an Add-In which can achieve this outcome? Is there any other path to the desired solution?

Thank you for your time considering this and solutions.

I am trying to use the Bing homepage for their daily images. When I open Fire Fox, the Bing homepage comes up but has a news popup along the bottom of the screen. I have unchecked the option for the "news and interests" from the 3 bar menu on the upper right and it goes away. But, when I open Firefox again, the news popup comes back up. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? This did not used to happen before I had to reinstall Firefox due to problems I was having. Thanks for any help.
