How to permanently set line spacing to "Single Line Spacing" in emails, any online solutions do not work in Thunderbird version 128.5 64 bit.

I used to able to do this easily and effectively but with the new version of Thunderbird I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Any working solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.

When splitting up a home, what needs to be done to separate the access via the nonmobile devices? There are two people and thunderbird is what I/we have used for file structure. One person can access both Gmail accounts files, folders, etc. on the in-house, or non-mobile system, but the other person cannot. On our mobile phones, neither can access folders other than their own.

How to completely separate the email account access, without creating confusion?! Ian pretty sure both email accounts are set to IMAP and not POP. So what is the easiest way to learn and complete this task?

Thanks, Steve

After I did the 128.5.2esr update, none of my email accounts can get email with SSL/TLS on. It won't even try the server with SSL/TLS on. If I turn it off, then it can get mail. When I try to change to STARTTLS it will just hang showing checking server capabilities. Some accounts are imap and some POP3

Gmail works fine. I've tried the just about all of the things I have found online, but no luck.

Any suggestions? In the past I rolled back to a working version and that fixed it, but it hasn't worked this time. Would removing all of the certificates fix it? Didn't want to take that chance until I threw it out out here!

Thank you!

I moving from classic outlook to Thunderbird and I am having trouble finding how to change fonts and color in signatures for my emails. I do not do html it is a simple signature; name company name and phone numbers. I search and found no help. Is there a way to change color and font in the reply to an email? Sorry I know this sounds simple but I have been using outlook since it came out so this is similar but just enough to give me trouble. Thank you for any help, rick

I just received version 128.5.0esr of Thunderbird, and I see that that the format of the Correspondents column has changed to include the email address along with the name. I don't like that format because it looks too cluttered. If I really want to see the actual email address, I can simply open the email.

I would like to revert back to the legacy column format of just displaying the name. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks.

I have the same problem as asked in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440873#question-reply (I can no longer reply to that thread as it has been archived, so I am asking again now in search of an answer).

To reiterate the problem, draft emails are save correctly into the 'Drafts' folder in both Thunderbird and the Gmail web app, but only Thunderbird will correctly delete the draft once the email has been sent. In the Gmail web app, the draft email remains in the 'Drafts' folder.

Why can't Gmail automatically delete draft emails that have been sent? Is there a solution?

I am using Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11.

Using Windows 11 and recently activated Windows Security and removed McAfee antivirus. Since this was completed, MS Outlook would not send emails so I was instructed by my ISP to switch to Thunderbird. Now using Thunderbird and I am able to receive emails but cannot send. Attached are the mail settings that were given to me by my local cable company (MCTV Ohio). Any ideas how to fix this so that I can send emails? The message just "clocks" showing sending for hours...never actually sends the email. I know the issue is not on the end of the ISP because I am able to send on their web, just not through Thunderbird.

David, thank you. I think with your help, I have it fixed. I only had one prefs.js. (I had to go look for the file.) Anyway, just the one file. It was dated in 7/x/2023. No files named prefs-1.js or ........ prefs-46.js. So I checked the properties of the prefs-js file. It was marked read only. I unmarked read only and closed Thunderbird and reopened it. Twice now. The account I wanted to delete did not reappear and the account I wanted to add came back!! I am very pleased the solution was so simple but I would never have found it without your help and clues.

Hi. On Windows 11. after adding an ical calendar, Thunderbird immediately stops responding. If I then stop and restart Thunderbird it continues to not respond. 1. Is there a simple way to revert to the state prior to the addition of the calendar? Or can a point of consistency be established prior to adding the calendar to make reverting to this point a possibility? 2. I presume that there is some issue with the contents of the ical. Is there any way to work out what might be the issue that Thunderbird is not handling? The calendar is a Google Calendar and works fine there. Thanks in advance.

bold textI share an info@ ..... e-mail with colleagues. We used to be able to mark = colour e-mails so e.g. I could colour blue to my colleague an he could colour green for me.

My two colleagues can still use this function but I can only use it on my own laptop.

What can I do to make the marking seeable for my colleagues as well as myself? We have tried updating and restarting which does not solve our problem.

long time thunderbird user but suddenly can receive emails ok but when trying to send get message "error occured mail server responded sender rejected. " don't know what to do watterson @charter.net

I have 2 problems that I would like some help with. I have a dead email account I would like to delete. The company deleted their email server. I can delete my account but when Thunderbird gets shut down for any reason, the email account shows up again. I have even logged in as administrator and deleted the account. The account returned. If I log out of Thunderbird and log back in, the account returns. If I have a power failure, when I log back in, the account has returned. If I log out to do a re-start, the account returns. The second question is similar. I have an account that I can add and it works very well but if Thunderbird is shut down, it disappears. Then I have to put it back in. Putting the account in as "admin" does not help either. Yes, I can put it in as "admin", but it will disappear if Thunderbird is shut down. I have thought about changing all the information in the one account that I cannot delete to the information in the other account that I cannot keep to see if this is a workaround. I am afraid I will miss one little setting and have a mess. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

For some reason, I am getting message that the Certificate for server is not valid (etc.). I can not get or send my emails as of this morning. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

I just uploaded TB to my new computer. Now it seems to be downloading emails from years ago from Gmail. Help! I just wanted new email that I could choose to save on my computer. I did select Pop 3. I don't really know what I'm doing. Jean Green

Not sure there is anyone answering questions in this forum now. Maybe Thunderbird doesn't exist now? I have used it for years but can't get a response from anyone on what my problem is. Keep getting message the the connection to sever timed out. Before that the message was the certificate wasn't valid for the server. Can anyone help??

I am just a non-computer-literate old woman. I have tried to follow advice from the community forum. All that SMTP stuff is Greek to me. Since the last update to Thunderbird, I can't reach my daughter or my neighbour. One uses Hotmail and the other Yahoo. sometimes after about 4 days my neighbour will tell me he finally got a message.

Please change this. The only way I can reach them is to leave Thunderbird for webmail. It's a nuisance. Can someone please advise.
