Headers are inconsequential, compared to the actual message content, I'm sure everybody will agree!

But on Thunderbird, recently, the headers take up almost HALF of the available space on the screen!

I have tried everything to reduce the message headers to ONE LINE (that is all it needs) but nothing works!!!

Have a look at FoxMail (screenshot below)! Compare it with how my Thunderbird looks (screenshot below)!

These are actual screenshots of what my entire screen looks like, with Thunderbird and FoxMail.

Foxmail has clean, simple, one line headers, with the message body taking up the maximum viewable space on the page! Thunderbird is almost 50% WASTED screen space!!!!

BTW the add-on / extension "Compact Headers" does not seem to work with the latest versions of Thunderbird.

Thank You!

Just installed Thunderbird on a new computer. I'm a long-time user, supporter, donator to the team. I just donated again. Now I get an "in your face attempt for donations" that I don't appreciate. It has to be removed every time I load mail. How do I get rid of this?

Thunderbird does correctly mark emails I choose as spam spam. Problem is, TB fails to move these marked-as-spam emails to the selected spam folder. I've searched for cures here but nothing helps. Now what Mozilla??? See attached pics...

Hello; Windows 10 & current version of Thunderbird. I am trying to add Messages Filters to filter out spam (getting more and more of that!) but the "OK" button on the add message filter is below the bottom of the screen. The window cannot be raised or resized to make the button visible. Photo below. Moving window does not allow me to raise window above top of screen. Keyboard (Alt-Enter) / Move will not work. Changed windows screen size just makes window larger but button still below bottom of screen.

Non-functional work around. Highlight Message name. Press Shift-Tab TWICE. Press ENTER. UGLY!

Tech since DOS 3.0

Thank you for your time and attention.

Settings -> Appearance:

• Grouped by Sort
• Default Sort by: Date

When I press Apply these settings to: All existing folders I get Sort by: Unthreaded in all folders.

Windows 10; Thunderbird 138.0.1

Witam wszystkich. Podczas odbierania wiadomości mam następujący komunikat "Zapisywanie wiadomości w skrzynce pocztowej się nie powiodło. Sprawdź, czy masz wymagane prawa zapisu w systemie oraz czy dostępna jest wystarczająca ilość wolnego miejsca do skopiowania skrzynki pocztowej." Wszystko posprawdzałem i nie mogę sobie dać rady. Wiadomości z innych kont są zapisywane. Poproszę o wskazówki gdzie szukać błędu.

I can send mail via thunderbird but now will not get it from earthlink server? tried restarting app, computer and router, no help. My mail is in my web mail but not thunderbird

TB keeps asking for my iCloud calendar and contacts username and pw. I enter both, using my iCloud app-specific pw, but they are not accepted. Any help much appreciated.

I had trouble during the installation of Thunderbird, it would not connect to my email account with Xfinity. However, I could connect via the web.

Finally, I tried the manual route and there (accepting all given entries) I was able to connect with Xfinity just fine. I hope this helps others. I think there may be a bug in the installation process.

I downloaded 138.0. I can get email and reply to them but can't start a new message. New message button does nothing. I don't have any add-ons. This is the newest version I believe. Any suggestions?

Hello Frinds!

Please help me find a solution to a fatal Thunderbird crash that erased the Inbox folder and its subfolder structure. All emails have disappeared, and the cause is unknown. Tried "View" but did not help. Didn't find any local program tools to restore the before-crash-state.

Here are the details:

1. The incident happened due to a random, uncontrolled cursor movement in the bottom left corner of the program window using the "drag and drop" feature. There was no clicking involved. Or maybe it was a coincidence: happened when Thunderbird was upgrading.

2. The current version of Thunderbird Portable is:128.10.0esr on Windows 10 Home.

3. As a result of auto backup creation on the day of the crash, the backup was overwritten by the corrupted original.

4. The size of the main folder has not changed, so I believe the files needed for recovery are still available.

Is it possible that this disaster is the result of a version update? So so far, Thunderbird worked seamlessly.

Looking for help. So far, I have not been able to find a solution, including with the assistance of AI. Thank you in advance.

Best, Max

I have a new Chromebook, having previously used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I have loaded Linux onto my Chromebook and now have installed Firefox and Thunderbird but I can't get my email account loaded onto Thunderbird. I receive a message as follows: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration" I'm sure that I have entered the correct details. I was offered the chance to scan a QR code but that option doesn't seem to be there anymore. (The Chromebook doesn't have a front camera but it will lie flat so I was going to be able to use it)
