Hi, I download some e-mails. After checking the emails, I want all of them to be deleted from thunderbird but... ...I want only specified emails deleted from server.

In Mac's "Mail" program, there was a special window, where I could see all e-mails on server and just select which I want to remove from server.

In old Outlook, I've used "Rules". There I could set the parameters for specified e-mails and then tell outlook to "leave that message on server" or "Don't download that message from server".

How to do it in Thunderbird?

Hello, "desktop view" is very useful, and I use it for LinkedIn because the "mobile mode" is shitty (I guess to make/force people to install the proprietary and closed source LinkedIn app).

I found that "desktop view" is stopping working while activated, when you always keep a tab opened for days... I have to close the tab and open a new one to make "desktop view" working again.

I found too that "open in a new tab" action is not inheriting the view mode of the parent tab and that an issue when browsing the same website.

Could it be possible to have "desktop view" enable by default based on visited website?

I cannot pin the extension to the toolbar. The extension is not shown in the puzzle icon dropdown, and it is not in the overflow. Please add an automatic pin to the toolbar when a new extension is added! How do I pin it now?

I thought I was able to set my computer browser to remember how to fill out forms that I have filled out in the past. Now, all of a sudden, I go the the form page click on its first line to bring up my necessary information, & all I get is a blank page.

What happened?

Thank you.

I have an issue with the Firefox printing dialog. Everything I print comes out tiny, covering only 25% of the page. This only happens when using the Firefox print dialog, when I select "use system dialog" everything prints fine. The page looks normal on the print preview window, and only looks small once printed. I have tried resetting the printer settings from about:support, and I don't see any erroneous settings in about:config. I'm assuming there is something I'm missing that makes the page size wrong.

Hi everyone, I'm desperately trying to disable Firefox from starting when my windows starts up. I've tried disabling startup apps.

I've tried setting some settings to false like toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart & browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt and this worked for a while and now it's back to starting with windows.

The box is unticked in menu - settings - Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up. I tried al-sorts of things but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any possible solutions I can try please? At the moment I have a script to end task as I can't find any other solution.

Hello, I am planning to do a fresh Linux install and in this context I also want to setup Thunderbird completely new, starting with the default settings. However, there are two things I would like to backup and restore (export and import).

1. The information which emails I have explicitly labelled as "Junk"/"No junk"
2. The information from which domains I allow loading remote content

I think this makes a lot of sense because I can setup my accounts easily and the mails, addresses and calendars will be synced from the cloud, and view configuration is no big deal either. Only that kind of "user data" that was gathered over several years is something I want to hold on to, and be able to continue to use. Is this possible somehow? I am not afraid, e.g., to manually copy individual files from the profile folder, if that data is stored cleanly separated somewhere. Kind regards, Chris

This morning when I turned on the computer igHome, which is our startup page is not loading properly. I have restated the computer several time, logged out and logged back in to igHome. I have reset the number of colums, etc.

Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I was watching videos and I noticed that sometimes my FF freezes when I look at the preview of a video. The computer is working fine since I can tell that it is only the browser "screen" that is freezing and not the whole pc. I can fix that by clicking outside the browser's window, like clicking the taskbar and it goes back to normal, still very annoying. I was able to completely fix the issue by unchecking the option "Use recommended performance settings" and just leaving the option "Use hardware acceleration when available" ON. Now I don't have these random freezes while still being able to use hardware acceleration.

My question is: what are those "recommended performance settings" that FF was using? I can't find any information about them or a list. I know that FF uses my pc specs to determine those settings but I wish I could manually set them by myself. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi I am syncing contacts between iCloud and Thunderbird and in most aspects it’s flawless. However when I change or create a contact in Thunderbird there seem to be a problem in character encoding. When I view the contact in iCloud the swedish characters åäö are replaced with som random strings. The other way around works as it should.

Does anyone recognize the problem and perhaps have a solution? Thanks.

I just installed Android V 8.1 and the anti-spam function isn't working. Spam mail is not being automatically filtered as it is supposed to do, and does on the desktop version. In addition the junk/spam mail settings that are supposed to be in the Accounts area are not there and the Swipe to Spam function also doesn't work nor does the "long press" to get to the spam marking option.

Any estimate as to when this functionality will be brought online?
