printing emails
I highlight and print multiple emails at the same time. I can only now print 1 email at a time. Can this be fixed? In my line of work, I need all the emails I get in, to print by highlighting them all, not one at a time. This would take forever. We changed from Outlook for this exact reason. You could only print one email at a time. I also would rather not convert them to pdfs, if I am seeing that as the fix to this problem. Sue

For some reason, printing multiple messages has been removed from the new print routine. You could save a selection of messages to text files or a single text file with the ImportExportTools NG add-on, then print from File Explorer. Another option is to create a filter that runs on a folder or set of messages that satisfy criteria and executes the Print command. That requires the FiltaQuilla add-on, and is untested by me.
Yes, I now cannot print an email with its conversation history. This is a real pain and somewhat of a downgrade for me, so I do hope it can be fixed by the brilliant support team.
I suppose someone from the support team is reading these messages, so, I will say, the ability to select and print multiple messages at once is one of the reasons we use Thunderbird, and, involves hundreds of messages per month, it is very important to our workflow as a small business. I will start looking for a new email client today, but would rather continue using this product, if it can be fixed.
If by 'support team' you mean the people responsible for writing the program, they do not read this forum or pay much attention to users' complaints or desires.
You can bring it to the attention of the developers by adding you comments here:

If you decide to stay with 91, consider the workarounds mentioned in my first reply. You may find they offer more flexibility than the standard approach.
