When opening a pdf file to print, the setting at the top defaults to "Automatic Zoom". Can this default setting be changed to actual size? Some pdf's won't print the whole page, leaving part of the right side off.

The cursor in Thunderbird is difficult to see when composing emails. My Windows settings have not been customized. All the online articles suggest changing Windows cursor or mouse settings, and although that does change things for Windows, it does not affect the cursor size or color in Thunderbird. Are there any ways to make the cursor darker so it's easier to see?

I'm still having a problem with automatic collection of email when I launch Thunderbird. I followed directions sent me to turn it off, but that didn't work. Either I misunderstood or did something wrong. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to these things. How do I control when my computer asks the server for email? Thanks much!

I have changed email address and would like to have an auto reply sent to the sender to alert them to the fact that the email address has changed. I will still need to receive the intended email, but just a return email saying please be advised that our email address has changed to xxx@xxx.com, just for a month or so. Any help will be appreciated.

How to completely reset Thunderbird preferences except for configured accounts? I mean all visualization preferences, menus, themes, buttons, whatever. But don't touch e-mail accounts.

This site has been very helpful to me. I thank you and I have a new question now that my e-mail is operational. I am a New York Times digital subscriber. As such I am allowed to gift a certain number of articles each month. Today when I tried to do that I was given a choice of paths for sending articles, Gmail and a few more with an option for other. But I don't know what to tell the New York Times as to how I want to be hooked to Thunderbird as the vehicle for gifting my allotted articles to others. Can someone help? Thank you, Doug

It takes to clicks to delete an item in the list or else moving the cursor to the detail screen. How can you change the format to put a trashcan next to the star button. Outlook presents a red trashcan when you move the cursor over the email title.

Is there a way to reformat the view to add this delete trashcan.

I get the green light for creating an account... but it goes yellow tag when I click Done. Will you help, please. I am able to log into my account online with the same PW I have to use in setting up the Thunderbird account. Thanks from a donation customer. //... Joe

I need Thunderbird to keep upper-case letters at the beginning of sentences when I do this. I also need my name to keep the first letter upper-case. Show me how to do this, please.

The filters function is a great function but I have a bit of a complex question where filters are concerned. I want to create 30, 60, 90 day purge rules with a list of email addresses attached to each such that those specific emails from the specified addresses are deleted at the selected intervals.

Is there a way to create single time-based purge rules using a list of email addresses or must I create a purge rule for each email address individually? E.g., <Match Any of the Following> From > Is > email@example1.com From > Is > email@example2.com Age in Days > Is Greater Than > 30 <Perform These Actions> Delete Message

The way I understand the syntax of instructions, each operator is an either/or so the filter when executed would DELETE ANY message greater than 30 days AND ANY message from @example 1 or @example2. Is that reading correct or am I reading the syntax operators wrong?

However, I want the purge rule to delete only those messages from @example1 & example 2 that are 30 days old. Are my filter criteria correct in the example above to achieve this aim or should I use different instructions?

Is it possible to enter multiple email addresses in a single filter criteria and what's the proper syntax? (e.g., From > Is > email@example1.com; email@example2.com OR email@example1.com, email@example2.com)

Presently I have minimize Thunderbird to tray icon set, this is fine. But I want Thunderbird to minimize to tray icon when I click the 'X' instead of closing out altogether. Since there's no setting for this, is there some kind of secret sauce like an add-on or a manual mod of the registry to enable this?

Many thanks.

Thunderbird currently automatically collects email on start-up. I would like it to collect email only when I request it, not automatically. Is there a setting for that? Thanks for your help.

Hey Folks. I have a couple of questions about email threading. I did try to search this before I posted

1) I have such long email chains that when threaded, the email at the bottom (new email) gets hidden behind the next column. I would like to change the order so that

• A)new emails go to the top of the inbox list (or the whole chain does)
• B) inside the thread, the new email is at the top of the list, so that the old emails are pushed under the next column instead.

I tried changing some of the "mailnews...." settings from 1 to 2 and 18 to 21, but they didnt really have the effect I thought they would.

Also, Im not sure why, but sometimes a member will reply to the thread, change the subject line, and send a new email. So the new email has remnants of the old thread, but a different subject. For some reason, these emails are placed in the original chain, however indented more to the left, instead of being placed in a a new chain. Is there a way to change this so that a new subject has its own chain?

Thanks for your help

Hello. When creating a filter, add the ability to create a folder if it was not created in advance. Because if you forgot to create a folder in advance during the creation of the filter, then you need to cancel all filter settings, go create a folder and only then re-create the filter for letters

I'm new to this Thunderbird thing.

Is there a setting that allows me to exclude all this? I cannot recognize any kind of setting in "Settings" or "Account Settings" that allows me to control this issue. Best regards, Rudi Abel

Curious if there is a way to turn off email notifications for only some email accounts logged into Thunderbird. We have several different email accounts we monitor with my business, and we don't require a notification for all of them & would love if there was a way to select which accounts you want live notifications for. Thanks!
