This is a new Dell Precision 3260 with Windows 11 and a 1st time install of Thunderbird 128.1.1esr (64-bit)

By default Write, Reply, Forward are missing which may or may not be correct.

However the "View"->"Toolbars" ->"Customize" page shows all the buttons available but when any one is selected it cannot be dragged or saved, it's as if the customize option has been disabled.

Also the blue Save icon is always greyed-out.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you

I'm looking for the DOM for the currently selected folder. I'd like to alter the style of the border and remove the annoying vertical bar on the left. If anyone can provide the CSS selectors I'd be grateful.

Also, if someone can point me in the direction of how to find this information for myself, that would also be cool.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I use Thunderbird on Windows (now 11) for 16 years now. Currently I have Thunderbird version 128.1.1. I would like to share profile between Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) installations on same machine. Profile folder is in a ntfs partition accessible both from Ubuntu (automatically mounted) and Windows. I managed to edit profile.ini file to point to right profile folder. On Windows evenrything workes fine. When I try to open Thunderbird in Ubuntu I get empty folder list and no account information in configuration. In the profile folder there ale many files created with names ending with corrupted are created (like folderTree.json.XXX.corrupt). Another try to open Thunderbird ends with message that profile is already in use. Any advice? Maybe I should debug starting Thunderbird (if yes let me know how to do that).

Thanks in advance. Marcin

How can I change my email address in Thunderbird? My current address (very old sympatico server) is defective and I cannot respond to mail I receive. I want to create a different email address and delete the old.

Thank you, Walter Vieira Ottawa, ON Canada

I just updated to Thunderbird 128.1.1esr and now the green read status dot seems smaller. Or maybe my eyes are getting too old. Either way I need a way to increase the size of the dot.

It used to be that when the row showing the active message was greyed over to indicate the active message the green would disappear but the dot still showed some shading that indicated the current letter was unread. Now I can't see any difference between read and unread. And it's tougher to select the smaller dot with my mouse.

I tried using the Aris-t2 Github userchrome modification for CSS but I'm not sure what to change for such a specific goal as making the green read status dot bigger.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want to add the Print command to my Thunderbird toolbar. I right-clicked on the toolbar and clicked on "Customize." I chose the Print button and saved, but it's still not on my toolbar. It says "available for mail space only." I have no idea what that means.

It used to be less complicated.

My thunderbird setttings is not being saved. My email account is added as a pop account and supposed to be using normal password instead of oauth2. Every time I change it to normal password and close thunderbird, it just revert back to oauth2. What I did is I tried to remove the account and re-add it as an imap so that it will be able to use oauth2 since I am unable to change that settings,and it just keeps reverting. After adding the account as imap. I tested it, its working, I was able to send and receive and its using oauth2. After I close thunderbird and reopen it, the account reverted back to pop. I don’t know what to do, it seems like I’m unable to make some changes on the settings in thunderbird. Need help.

    Also we are unable to disable that option for the flash screen every time I open thunderbird.

Please respond to Owen Rice and lexusa@verizon.net

I have been a Thunderbird user for many years, and the default configuration (View) for the Message List Pane that I've always had is just what I want (Screeenshot 1).

I've had this on Windows (10, 11) on multiple machines, and on macOS. A nice, compact listing (ignore bold; that's just unread messages).

Now I've installed on a new Windows 11 machine, and for this machine I get a very different Message List Pane that I do not like (Screenshot 2). Much more open space, takes up much more room.

All the Account Settings seem to be the same on this machine and the others, including view density, etc.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Hi zusammen,

folgendes Problem: Ich wollte eine email senden, dann ploppte auf, dass das Senden fehlgeschlagen ist weil die Authentifizierung fehlt, ich soll das Passwort neu eingeben. Das Passwort wird wohl nicht akzeptiert. Es dauert paar Sekunden, dann ploppt wieder das Fenster auf wo ich das Passwort neu eingeben kann. Das Passwort ist zu 10000% richtig! Es wird aber nicht angenommen. Ich habe das Programm bereits neu aufgemacht, die PC´s neu gestartet, das Programm deinstalliert und neu installiert. In den Einstellungen habe ich versucht das Passwort zu "bearbeiten" das Feld war grau hinterlegt, somit nicht anklickbar. Ich habe die gespeicherten Zugangsdaten gelöscht, nun werden Sie auch nicht mehr angezeigt. Gibt es denn keine Möglichkeit das Passwort zu ändern oder "Passwort vergessen" zu klicken, sodass man es neu einrichten kann??

Ich weiß nicht was ich machen kann! Bin auch nur ein Laie.

Wer kann helfen???

Viele Grüße Romy

I want to change the order of two email accounts and a set of Local Folders in the Folder Pane. How can I move one or the other up or down relative to the others?

I want to add my voice to the myriad complaints that have already been posted about the way Thunderbird has started threading messages!

I loathe threading!

Like many others, I do not understand why there is not a simple menu option, or something in the settings, that lets me turn OFF threading, permanently, in every folder of every account.

There are so many complaints about this that I just had to stop reading them after half an hour. I agree with most of them, so I won't reiterate every single point. I couldn't see any poster defending threading, and I couldn't see anything from a developer explaining why this is forced on users. Is it simply a matter of the developers themselves liking it, and not caring what the user base thinks? I respect the developers. I respect Linus Torvalds too, but I don't hesitate to call him out when he says something really dumb, which he does depressingly often. Being a developer gives you the right to control a product, but it does not make you right.

I am a monthly financial contributor to Thunderbird. I have used it for many years. But this is a deal-breaker for me. If a solution to this problem isn't forthcoming, *soon*, I will abandon ship. The withdrawal of my small monthly financial support won't hurt the team. I only mention it to establish that I have been a committed Thunderbird user who demonstrates that commitment in practical terms.

Hi there,

Please help, before the new update I used to be able to tag and it would colour code the entire email in the inbox, such as the email and title of who it is from, now it just has a little tiny tag colour on the side instead of highlighting the entire email.

For me I need to be able to see the colour immidiately. I was wondering how I can set that up? I have had no luck in settings. This is urgent for me as it really helps my productvitiy. Not only that unread emails used to be highlighted differently too.

As the title says, how do I remove Templates and Archive folders? This post does not have an answer, and this extension does not work.

I have tried deleting the files from the folder and restarting, but they just get recreated: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\profile\Mail\smart mailboxes

I have unsubscribed from the Archive folder in my accounts settings and deleted them from my mail server. Templates does not even exist on my mail server.

See attached picture, but these are annoying as I don't use them and they just take up space and are distracting.

Any ideas?
