I am grateful for the recently added ability to see a sender's URL in the "From" column. However, the URL is always preceded by a name or some other text; and when sorting the list in any folder on From, it sorts on the preceding text, not on the URL itself.

That prefix text is often (to me) meaningless and/or useless. I want to be able to sort on the URL itself without involving the text. If this is already possible I haven't figured out how to do it. If it's not possible now, I request that it be made available as a configurable option.

Thunderbird e-mail replies look like HTML wireframes; white-on-white fonts

[I'm not finding the exact answer to my question in the forum, so please forgive me if this question is asked/answered in some other manner.]

Whenever I forward or reply to-mail, the message looks like some kind of "raw HTML" format (with boxes and other formatting); and the fonts--including the message I'm trying to write--is always some kind of random foreground/background color combination. Many times that combination is a VERY VERY light gray foreground, on top of a white background, and I can't read what I'm typing unless I highlight it. Other times, it's in what I guess is "dark mode" (white font on dark background)--but then the attached e-mail below my response, which contains dark font, is illegible. I've attached samples of each.

Of particular note is that when I send these messages, the recipient sees a normal message and formatting. It's only when I'm composing them is it problematic.

Other than messing with the myriad mouse clicks on the "text color" and "background color" squares, how do I make my replies legible to my eyes, and consistent in formatting?

Thanks.

On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi there. I used the export/import functions to export my Thunderbird profile to a new computer.

It was largely successful. Many of my layout and general appearance settings were not imported to the new computer, but I just re-set those manually.

My last remaining problem is that it appeared that none of my local folders and messages were exported.

However, when I use file explorer to go to drive C on my new computer,

\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxxx.default-esr\Mail\Local Folders\Storage.sbd All of the folders, subfolders and messages are right there.

They're just not showing up in the directory tree pane or account pane (sorry, not sure what you really call it) in my main Thunderbird interface. All I see are "Trash" and "Outbox."

Anyone have any ideas as to how I make my local folders and messages re-appear?

Thanks,

Dave

I created two groups under News, it is now in the Left Tab area Account listing, now I can't delete both of the news groups and their Trash folders from the tab listing. There is no "DELETE FUNCTION" on either news group. How do I delete these two? Nothing is setup, so I should be able to delete those in the listing.

Local folders in Thuderbird

Hello there. I've followed the instructions in the appropriate support article and transferred our Thunderbird profile from a Widows 10 machine to a Windows 11. My profile as a .zip file is larger than the 2GB limit, so I used the Widows Explorer cut and paste. It's likely that I've done something slightly awry as one of my local sub folders hasn't transferred. Otherwise TB works fine. Is it possible to just restore the particular local folder, as I can find both the entries in my mail folder on windows explorer? However the view of the two entries looks rather different on the two computers when I compare a local folder that has transferred. Regards, Arthur
