Thunderbird Support Forum

Would you please help me permanently remove cache2 folder from Local Folders please. I'm using Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64bit) on esr channel with Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 OS.

I don't want Local Folders / Cache2 folder (or incidently Inbox, Drafts, Archives, Junk, Deleted and Outbox) but Thunderbird highlight - right click - delete button doesn't get rid of it. I can temporarily delete the Doomed and Entries sub-folders with right click - delete - delete folder but they move to Deleted folder where once again they can be deleted the same way but when restarting Thunderbird they are back under the cache2 folder again.

Even after exiting Thunderbird and directly deleting the cache2 folder(s) in system AppsData - Local and Roaming Thunderbird profiles the cache2 folder (with persistent sub-folders) returns to my Local Folders when restarted.

If ignored I eventually end up having a cache2-1 folder etc.

Using TBird 115.10.1 64-bit on Windows 11. For ease of reading text in mail I am composing, I would like to select a large font size. In Settings | Fonts I chose Arial 18; but for some reason I get a small monospaced font whenever I start a new message. I can enlarge it with Ctrl-Plus, but it reverts to its old ways for the next new message. How can I make the change stick?

This there a "Global" Message Filter Rule where you can change an Apply Filter When: to ALL your Message Filters?

Example: I'd like to add "Periodically, every 10 minutes" to ALL my current Message Filters. Currently, it looks like I have to Edit each and every one of them?

Thank you in advance.

See the previous, now archive post about it.

If this option makes emails sent from Thunderbird to any other email client have arbitrary line breaks where the line changes in the view of the composer. Please explain to me like I am 5, why is this ON by default? I just spent hours wording and formatting a work email vital for my career just to find out it will most likely look like a poem to the person that reeds it. This mailnews.wraplength "feature" looks a lot like is there to signal to other non-Thunderbird users to use Thunderbird. I really really hope there is a good explanation for why `mailnews.wraplength` exists and is on by default.

So... just upgraded to 115.12.2, and I'm seeing that the columns have been removed -- and I don't see a way to re-enable them!

So on the main view, we now have a line.... from address with subject below, and then to the far right, the date/time.

Is there no longer a view with columns that we could more easily see, sort, move, etc?!

Example of new view is attached.

I don't seem to be able to self help very good anymore, can someone please take the time to teach me / guide me through the steps ?

1. 1 can I set up Thunderbird to receive my Gmail email, and if so, how do I proceed?
2. 2: How can I set up Thunderbird on my iPhone?

I appreciate your time!

I can not get thunderbird to stop opening a web page on start up. Deselect the "when thunderbird launches......." but it is turned back on once I close and restart

It actually opens my browser and opens a thunderbird donation page.....

I use the global search a lot (when it works!) I don't like the way the results are displayed so I always click 'show results as list'. Is there a way to make that the default way search results are displayed? thanks
