Hi friends,

I already searched for this topic and found that there should exist a file named "msgFilterRules.dat" - but there isn't such file nowhere on the whole drive.

Looks like the message filter rules are actually stored in a file with another name...

But what's that name?

Best regards rumbero

In every text editor I've ever used for the last 25 years, typing a number and then a period will automatically turn on paragraph numbering. Or typing a * or - at the start of a line will create a bulleted list. How can I have this behaviour with Thunderbird?

Currently my only solution is to use the mouse and toolbar, which really slows down writing an e-mail. I also looked for keyboard shortcuts, but couldn't find any.

Thanks,

Robert

Hi,

I'm looking for a method of customising the preview pane headers so that it displays more than From: To: Subject: and Tags: but I can't find an add-on that does this.

In particular I'm looking to display the Resent-From: header or even better any headers that match a regular expression I specify.

I am fairly new to Thunderbird, so looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. Please don’t flame. 😊

I have calendars and contacts in iCloud and Google. These were synchronized to Outlook on my PC. Any changes made in any of these three (3) were synchronized to the others.

Now that Thunderbird has replaced Outlook, I am looking for the same functionality. I have iCloud and Google calendars and contacts synced to Thunderbird, and updates show up on Thunderbird. Sadly, not across to the other platform, ie. iCloud updates to Google or vice versa.

Any suggestions on how I may get this setup would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance. Regards.

Pradeep.

I can click on View, layout then either Classic, Vertical, or Wide view and nothing changes on my Email inbox. When I installed the update on my desktop the view stayed as it was since I installed the program which I think it was or prior to 115. Thunderbird has been updated to 128.1. When I installed 128.1 fresh install on my laptop it has a card style view and I can't change it no mater which view the check mark is on. Restarting Thunderbird after changing the check mark to different views had no affect. Maybe I am misunderstanding the terminologies.

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?
