I really like the ability of creating multiple Address Books based on the user's needs. In my case, and I believe it isn't too uncommon, I've created an Address Book with contacts that I will rarely, if ever, contact or from whom I would be contacted, but that I keep just in case. I propose that we be allowed to Hide user generated Address Books. There's many ways it could be done: as a check-mark in the pop-up to edit an Address Book (who would gain another purpose other than just editing its name), or a right-click / three-dots contextual option. Furthermore, not only should the Address Books be out of sight, but I think the contacts populating them should also be hidden from the All Address Books directory, since in hiding those lists of contacts, we're actually hiding the contacts themselves. ...

Often a reply-all to a thread goes off topic. It's a good idea to change the subject line to indicate that. It can also be useful to send a new message to a group of email addresses by replying-all to a previous email to them and clearing the body. Currently, TBird keeps all of these in the original thread. I propose that changing the subject should start a new thread. This could replace the current behavior, or alternatively be a configuration choice for the user. I support @Flapjack's proposal for more extensive control, and suggest giving it a thumbs-up too. But this would get some of the functionality and be simpler to implement. ... View more

If I receive a file attachment, I would like to transfer it directly to Virustotal.com, either via Thunderbird's API or by right-clicking -> Send to Virustoal. The file could be cached in a "to be examined" folder on the hard drive and then transferred to Virustotal. In principle, everyone could use their own account API key for Virustotal. API reference https://docs.virustotal.com/reference/overview If Process Explorer can send all processes to Virustotal, then you could certainly also send email attachments to Virustotal. ...

The ability to create a folder with a naming scheme based on email parameters. This would be exceptionally useful when it comes to subaddressing. For example: where an email's 'To' address includes '+', create a sub-folder in `TARGET_DIRECTORY` called RegEx of `\+(.+?)@`. Thunderbird ... View more

In Thunderbird with basic authentication (username/password) you can choose to remember the password or not. But OAuth2 tokens are automatically saved in Thunderbird. While this is very convenient as long as you have Thunderbird open, I would like to see an option to tell Thunderbird to automatically remove OAuth2 tokens on exit. I know you can also use app passwords, but that's not what I want. I want to login everytime Thunderbird is opened using OAuth (including MFA), hence the need to remove the tokens on exit. Thank you for considering this. ... View more

Hello all. I'm suggesting to separate mail messages and rss feed list height config value. The height for mail messages list need be less than message content panel height, but more in rss feed. So I'm resizing the list height every time I switch from mail messages to rss feeds and that's annoying. A separated height config value should solve the problem. Thank you. ... View more

Idea for Thunderbird: There should be a possibility in the overall settings to switch the sorted view at 'not grouped' for ALLfolders at once. ... View more

In sub folders thunderbird sorts mail by day of the month first. This is not helpful - better mails should be sorted by year-month-day. ... View more

#Thunderbird - Please include folder/thread pane formatting (font type, font size, row height, space between rows, font colour, background colour) in Settings. The default settings a very user unfriendly and many don't have the IT skills to fiddle with css (I don't even know what it is...) Also allow a rearrangement of the order of folders within an account without having to get an add-on (which may become unusable anyway as new TB updates are rolled out).     ... View more

As nicely detailed here, Thunderbird allows you to move the "Junk/Bulk" folder into the "Trash" folder by deletion via context menu. Problem is, this makes it impossible for Users to move the folder back without a plugin. Please add the ability to do so without a plugin, or prevent this Problem from ocurring in the first place. ... View more

1. By default, messages in the search window are now connected in threads and this option cannot be switched off like in over windows. A possibility to switch it off would be very much welcome. 2. In the save-the-search subdirectory, the ordering of messages by date does not work correctly. ... View more

I try to organize the mail that I want to save in folders.  However, it can sometimes be challenging to remember which folder a specific message is saved in.  I can always do a search in the All Mail folder to find a message. But, once I have found it in the all mail folder there isn't a way of figuring out what folder it is really stored in.  The location column in All Mail will only report "All Mail" as the folder where the message is stored.  Please add a full list of folders where a message is stored to the location column.  Thanks ...

It may be great that when one receives an email with an invitation to a meeting/event and reply using the buttons Accept/Tentative/Decline, the related email is deleted from the inbox. Outlooks has a config flag for allowing this behaviour. ... View more

Thunderbird is pretty nice as a platform. Simply like with Firefox, People dont get that. So Addons need to be preinstalled. - DKIM verifier is important and unintrusive. - Ublock Origin. I currently use UBO light (downloaded the .xpi file and installed manually) mostly just to autoblock malware - something with clamav. This needs to be integrated in some way, antivirus and mails are a pretty common combo but ClamAV is a good tool thats not user friendly. Often it is used on the server side, but you cant really rely on that Also, having sync between phone and desktop is important. On Android I simply have my contact storage, this is not there on Linux. I have .vcf files, but thats subpar.  Having sync only the contacts with mails from phone to Desktop would be great! The lack of a unified and protected location for contact storage could be easily circumvented by storing them simply in Thunderbird, syncing them through Thunderbird etc, as its already the best Calendar and contact manager imho on Linux. ...

When I use "move" to move anything (a mail or another folder) into an existing folder, if I hover more than one second, ALL the existing subfolders open up into view, where they were all "hindden" before. This means I then have to click on the main folder´s arrow to hide them again - an easily correctible irritation. Please make the time-span longer (like two or three seconds) like it used to be.   ... View more

if you right click the main email folder, it will add an option to open the website that is hosting the email server.  so like if its a outlook or Microsoft email it will open outlook, where you can login or access if your already logged in  or for google just goes to mail.google to access the Gmail,  so if it is not working or something crashes or to access web based features specifically, you can access them. it can either open the default web browser to access the email or have a imbedded browser inside, ...

Would like to see the ability to add Inboxes & unified inbox to the spaces toolbar in thunderbird mail client.  The idea is similar to the m.b. UI and it is very convenient. Reference image shown. ... View more

For historical reasons, I don't want to remove a couple of old e-mail accounts in Thunderbird.  For one account, TB tries to connect once, and after I blip off the error message, it lets me go about my day. For the second account, however, the new release of TB annoys me every few minutes with a connection failure message.  I'm currently working around this by right-clicking the title bar of the error/signon window and minimizing it (even though it has no minimize button per se) and letting the minimized window stew itself on my task bar.   ...

Whenever I switch screens from built-in to external display and vice versa, my Thunderbird window resizes and I have to rearrange its viewports (i.e. inboxes, mails, preview). In my opinion Thunderbird should remember the relative sizes of all viewports, no matter which screen size and resolution is provided. ... View more
