Thunderbird Community Forum

Thunderbird keeps suggesting to use the Filelink feature for sending large files. And I am quite on board with that idea. However, the only way I can officially share large files with the industry partner is a Kiteworks platform, that is configured to only allow SFTP and the webclient.

When clicking on "Find more providers", the only provider that isn't specific to a business like Dropbox is Webdav.

Is there any way to use an SFTP server for Filelink?

I have been using Thunderbird since the demise of Eudora. My configuration file is messed up and I would like to clean it up without losing everything. I have many accounts on different platforms. My unified inbox no longer works. It was working for my gmail accounts, but now nothing shows up in it. When looking through some accounts, there were multiple copies of emails in the archive file, and I never put them there.

Is there some way to preserve things like signature files and personalities and sever configurations, and set up thunderbird like a new install preserving the above and my contacts? It is a real mess now. I think there are multiple configuration files and I would like to delete some of them, but am afraid to.

Hi there,

after re-installation I wanted to re-created my virtual search folder, displaying all status = new items of the various inboxes I have (as Unified Folders cannot be restricted just to Inboxes of the accounts).

So have created the search, saved as folder (stored as local and as folder in an IMAP account) - and when I now try to include the other inboxes in the drop-down - I just see the (unchecked) account from where I have created the search - nothing else. No sub-folders or other accounts with their sub-folders are visible.

How can I identify the root cause and overcome this issue?

Thanks for help RoadRunner

Thunderbird 115.11.0 (64-bit)

I updated Thunderbird to version 115.11.0 (64-bit), in the old version that I had when I clicked on an email with threads in a closed state, I could see in the email display box the initial text of each email in the thread with the sender's information and more, in the new version I don't see anything, the display box remains blank. Is this a bug, or do I need to change it in the setting?

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I have several mail accounts connected to my thunderbird Version 115.10.1.

One of them is a account that regularly notifies me if about updates on my homepage. I want to receive those emails, but I don't want a notification about them. I do however want to receive notifications about emails from other accounts.

How can I disable the notifications for only one account?

Best, Alex

External request to provide email content and send automatically, such as HTTP GET or POST similar to restAPI to do stuff on thunderbirds application for automated tasks, like opening emails, send email.

Hi all - I wanted to share a Thunderbird customization blog I wrote after assembling a bunch of CSS bits and pieces via the Thunderbird reddit community. If this post doesn't belong here, please delete, I wasn't sure how best to share it.

Mainly the blog is geared to having Thunderbird look/behave more like Outlook or Windows Mail app etc. and for those you'd like to learn a bit about CSS coding.

I'm trying to remove theme(s) but when I go to Add-ons Manager and select a theme I see no 'Remove' button. This goes for all themes I added. I'm using 115.11.0 (64-bit) Thunderbird.

Am I missing Something? James

Good morning,

I can't deactivate the dark theme (the Themes Menu is inactive!), while another user has a light theme and works perfectly.

In addition, the writing of new messages is in white text on a white background!

How can I solve this problem. thank you in advance for your help

Cordially

Hi

Currently the Outlook Web App on Windows and Web offers some sort of option to facilitate moving emails to specific folders by offering a search bar to look for a folder.

Please see image attached to this topic in order to see what i mean. Note: the image is in spanish

Also, here's a link to that same image: https://imgur.com/a/gfA1TcS

Does Thunderbird have something similar like this?

Thank you for your help.

Signature Request...

Don't automatically add the signature to every new message and reply. Provide the option to insert it at the cursor location with a shortcut key (eg: Ctrl/Shift/S).

Allow more than 1 signature. In my business, I use several "canned" statements depending on the recipient, issue, etc. Allow them to be inserted from a drop down list, say. The most used one (default?) would be inserted with Ctrl/Shift/S.

Thank you for your consideration! T-Bird is the best option i've tried since needing to abandon WinMail for lack of support.

Sincerely,

How many times per day, and over a period of how many years, will it be necessary to tell Mozilla Thunderbird Email that I DO NOT want Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all my email from Gmail

BEFORE THEY WILL STOP ASKING?

When I view emails with photos attached inline (both in preview pane and fully opened) i can't see the images as they are massive and go way off the screen. Is there a setting to provide some kind of sensible default so the images are sized within the email i am looking at, so i can view them without downloading and opening in a photo viewer? thanks

Hi, after reading the documentation i read that that automatic filters only apply to inbox and archive.

Hi have the following issue : sometimes i have fake positive for spam but these message are flooded in real spam. Some job offers answer can be in such folders.

Therefore i created a blacklist filter for spam so as to ease my spam review.

Unfortunately i i have to manually run them. Long time ago i had to go to message filters and then select the folder. Now i can easily click on the "Run filters on folder", option/alt T+R is also nice i am really grateful for that.

- Would it be possible to allow automatic run of filter on some specific/explicit directories ? (after thinking my question twice i understood that checking for circular rules can be very complicated, maybe a warning if a message is to be processes twice by the same rule) - Maybe add a one click shortcut ? button ? - An easy export/sync from/to imapfilter ?

Besr regards.

Bonjour, les courriers envoyés par l'un de mes correspondants avec son adresse Axxxx, n'arrivent pas dans deux de mes adresses mails. Dans la troisième, SFR, ils vont directement en quarantaine. Si ce correspondant utilise une autre de ses adresses mails, Bxxxx, le courrier arrive normalement. Je rectifie chaque fois le statut de ce correspondant, je le déclare comme acceptable, je le déplace de la quarantaine vers le courrier entrant sans succès même si je ferme TB et le ré-ouvre ensuite. Où chercher? J'ai regardé les occurrences ouvertes par la recherche à partir de "quarantaine" et je n'y vois pas de solution. Win7, TB à jour. Merci

In general, I like Thunderbird, have used it for years. But if there's one thing that will make me abandon it it's that incoming links are not hyperlinks, they're just text. From what I've read, that's deliberate. If not, how do I make incoming links be links? I'm really ready to move on.
