I need addon tool to export email messages separately to eml format with a 'batching' addon, not all to a zip file not one message at a time, quick export all messages automatically.

I would like to suggest an improvement to the way Thunderbird handles email aliases. The current setup is somewhat cumbersome, especially since every place I sign up to gets an alias (I can create an infinite number of them, and if I get spammed, I know who the culprit is). What I would like to do is simply compose a new message, and enter an alias there. Is this feasible? It would be so much simpler this way.

Hi :)

I don't remember if I had an extension installed but I would like to have my old account layout back. I put the photos for you to understand. Is possible?

Thank you

Having issue with the signature staying in Thunderbird.

Some online help articles say there's an OK button to hit after pasting a signature in the box. I do not see one. On the latest version 115.6.1

Also I checked use HTML. Works fine when I go to sent an email right after doing this. However, after closing Thunderbird, it reverts back to an old signature.

Any ideas?

So, I upgraded to SuperNova and my spell checker no longer works. I removed and re-installed the dictionary extension, someplace I think it shows as installed and active. BUT it does not show my spelling mistakes as I compose an email, and when I go to send the spellchecker popup comes up with blanks. Any thoughts on what/how I can fix this. I "really" need a spellchecker.

I've just installed TB 115.6 on my MacBook to see if I like it better than Apple Mail. There is one thing that seems weird to me. Fonts are displayed larger in the Read window than in the Write and Reply windows.

These are my font settings: Default font: Helvetica, size 14 Composition, HTML Style: font: variable width, size: medium

Now if I send an e-mail to myself the font looks larger once I receive the message than what it looked like when I was composing it. And then if I reply to this message the font becomes smaller again in the Reply window.

The font in the Write window has the exact same appearance as in Apple Mail where I also defined Helvetica 14 as the default font. So my suspicion is that the fonts are somehow scaled up in the Read window. But why? And how to change it so that the same font looks the same everywhere?

I just received the update for Thunderbird to 115.2.0, 64 bit.

For some reason when I set the display to only show "unread" message and click "pin" to keep the settings when switching folders, it doesn't work, and reverts to show all messages.

Does someone know why that's happening to me?

screen suddenly so large and can't see the message. how to delete the red circled part to make the message larger so I don't have to scroll to see it. have adjusted the font size, etc. but nothing changes

A few weeks back I posted a question regarding not being able to add any add-ons. (I wish there was some way of finding my own previous posts!) Anyway it seems that the Linux versions are broken and it can't be done. AH! but it can! As previously mentioned , the thing hangs at the point where the 'Cancel/Add' dialogue box shows up. Someone suggested using the TAB key to cycle round to the dialogue but that didn't work. BUT ... if you click back to your inbox, THEN the TAB key does work. TAB till you get to the 'Add' button, hit ENTER, and voila, you have added an add-on :-)

When using a Gmail account, how can you tell Google that a message was misclassified as spam (to teach it)? To clarifiy: I am not using Thunderbird spam filtering, just Google. Some messages end up in my Junk folder and I want to tell google they are not spam. In Gmail web UI there "Not spam" menu action for that.

Please see the attached. On the upper part of the email, the font is extremely small. I've tried everything I could find to make the font larger, but haven't found the solution. On the bottom part, the font is larger. That font I can adjust. Can someone tell me how to enlarge the font on the upper part of the emails?

I want to modify the display of the body of emails I receive in Thunderbird. Version 115.6.0 64-bit on Windows. At some point, not sure when, the body of mail from some correspondents appears in tiny yellow characters on a black background; if it's a response to my email, my text is in small gray letters on black, almost invisible. Changing themes has not helped; the heading can be made light but the body is unaltered. Didn't find anything in Settings that worked either.

I'm running Thunderbird 115.6.0. I used to have a little icon of a cloud, and a button marked New Message (to compose), both just above the listing of mail and local folders in Thunderbird's left-hand pane. Then I clicked on something (that I thought was for something else) and those two icons are gone. I have looked until I'm blue in the face but can't identify whatever it is that will bring these back. Can someone clue me in? Many thanks!

I want to use thunderbird both for my personal mail and work mail, but I don't want to carry my work with me 24/7 so I don't want to be bothered by email notifications or "unread messages" indicators when I'm off work.

Right now it seems like I can only disable these things for the app as a whole, not per account, but I do want those notifications and indicators 24/7 for my personal account. Are there any more advanced controls for creating rules for how and when new and unread emails are notified to me on a per account basis?

I really hesitate to ask contributors for help. I know you're all volunteers and you don't deserve these headaches.

I used Thunderbird happily for years. Then the old Thunderbird started have problems. I raised the problems here and got a lot of help until it was just so unusable, I quit.

I tried a number of mail programs that was on my linux computer. It just boggles the mind how many different ways people can think of to handle things that need simplicity.

I want a left side column that has all my email accounts visible all the time. I want an email screen that I can close without automatically going to the next email. Right now, If I call up an email to read, I lose my email account list. There are two ways to get back to the email account list. One is to press the "<" to move the top line of whatever to the right and the arrow to the left until "INBOX" appears. The other way is the hit in "inbox" box, which gets you nothing. I hit the next box below and I get my Address books. Being curious, after I got the Address books, I hit the Inbox button again - and now I get the Inbox (list of all email accounts). Why can't they make the top button work the first time?

In the overall settings, I indicated that I wanted the print to be 26 pixels, picas, whatever, and it does nothing! I'm 84 and I can read the small print. Why doesn't the settings work?

When I switched to 115, I gave a donation because I thought that they fixed things. I'm not donating anything again until they not only fix things but they don't design what they think is an oversmart application. There's this new thing - what - SuperNova. I'm not going anywhere near that.

I'm not trying to upset volunteers, you don't deserve that. What I want is this passed on to the company so they know just how frustrating it is to work with their software. Volunteers, please don't take this personally. You work too hard to help people out.

I have been using Thunderbird for years and since a few days I cannot see any mails. See attachment (2). The whole right field (the message list) remains blank. I can see no sender and no text even though mails have been received and saved. At View=>Design it should be possible to check the Message list header for this but I can't put a check mark there. See attachment (1) for this.

Hey, everybody. Who knows how to highlight in tags not only the text of the message, but also to highlight the entire line as indicated in the screenshot? Tks!
