The new correspondents column has too much information now that the email address of the sender is displayed next to the sender name. I would like for the correspondents column to only have the name. The From column doesn't need the name--- just the email address of the sender. This would be so much easier to read and organize. ... View more

When replying to emails, I've often needed a list of all emails from the sender to keep track of the history of our conversation. The most convenient way, I think, would be an additional list with the history of emails in a frame in a side pane. If you click on an email in the inbox, the history should show all emails from the sender, and all emails I sent to the sender. If you click on an email in the Sent and Drafts folders, the history should show all emails from the recipients, and all emails I got from the recipients. There could be filter buttons like "CC" or "BCC" in the history list and at least a date column. When you click on an email in the history list, it should become the currently displayed email in the default pane. I think this would be a very nice feature that could increase the productivity of heavy email users and provide everyone with an easy overview of their conversations. ... View more

When the user clicks-and-drags on an email and moves it to a collapsed folder in the Folder Pane, the folder is expanded to allow the user navigate to a sub-folder. It would be nice if those folders then collapse again as per the state before the clicking-and-dragging of the email. This will prevent a few unnecessary mouse clicks if the user prefers to keep those folders always collapsed even after moving emails into them, or if the user accidentally navigated to them. ...

Previously, an add-on called Blunder Delay allowed emails to be auto-sent from the outbox every x minutes. I frequently use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+Enter to quickly move emails to the outbox, bypassing the usual 2-3 second delay when clicking send (a lot longer if attachments are included). This slight delay adds up significantly when managing hundreds of emails daily. I manually send unsent messages every 15 minutes by right-clicking the outbox and selecting 'Send Unsent Messages'. It would be incredibly helpful to have an option within Thunderbird to automatically send these unsent messages at regular intervals, such as every 5 minutes. This feature would save time and streamline email sending for many users like myself. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making Thunderbird such a fantastic email client. ... View more

The current vertical card view feels a bit cramped when trying to identify an email by the sender, even in expanded view. It would be nice if there was a little more padding on top and bottom of the message cards in vertical view. The ability to make the sender the focus of an email card rather than the subject would also be nice, especially when receiving replies to Bcc emails. Similar to the spacing view in Mac Mail, where the Sender stands out, and the subject is still easily readable at a glance. ... View more

I migrated from Microsoft Outlook to Mozilla Thunderbird due to license issues. Generally, I find Thunderbird usable, but two things annoy me quite a lot. One thing is that I cannot convert a new message from plain text to HTML (or vice versa). I send 95% of my mails in plain text, so I definitely want plain text as the default format when I press Ctrl+N or click on a mailto: link. But in 5% of all cases, I want to include an embedded image in my message. So if I have created a new message using Ctrl+N and have spent effort typing recipient address(es) (and sometimes CC and/or BCC addresses) and subject and maybe even some introductory body text and realise that I need to include an image, it makes my sad that I need to discard all my changes and start all over again (possibly copying each text field to clipboard first). The same thing applies if I have followed a mailto: link that includes recipient address, subject, and body text. In Microsoft Outlook and most other mail apps (desktop or web-based) I have used, you can switch between plain text and HTML using a single toolbar (ribbon) button or menu item. But apparently not in Thunderbird. ... View more

Hi,  In previous versions of Thunderbird, it was possible to specify mail formats depending on recipient domain, and recipient per recipient, which was quite useful in certain cases. See this obsolete knowledge base, although still online... 🤔 These features are no longer in Thunderbird since I don't know when, but they're missing. I hope them back in a next release. ...

HI! it would be nice, if there were a more intuitive “new mail” feature, that clearly distinguishes which account is being used to send the email from. i find it a bit confusing, that when i am f.e. in (the inbox of) account 3 and press “new email”, an email is generated for account 1, not account 3. the “write a new message” link on the main page of each email address is not easily seen. i often click on email instead, which is for setting up a new account. i don’t set up new email accounts everyday, this could well be in a menu, not on the front page. The whole first line on the main page starting with “read message” could be * on the height of “the Set up another account line” (best legible height of page) , * in the larger-sized font, with bold-type title (catches the eye, good first-glance orientation) * starting with WRITE MESSAGE.   To read messages, I just click on inbox. And when I’m there, it would be nice to have a “new mail” feature I could access from there, for each account. thanks. ... View more

Dear friends from Thunderbird. I used to sing sign my documents with a special application called "autofirma". Your application does not work with a Digital Certificate from FNMT.es and having a look to the application I noticed the link between the digital signature and the mail to send would be so easy as linking the frame "HTML signature" with a remote autofirma signature in which singed documents appears the signature with an special font and an easy text: "This document was signed by J.A.C.C. with ID ****52-L on date 06/11/2024". Couldn't  you build this stunning signature way for all of us? I could contribute you with a coffee after your success... Best regards... ... Sincerely: J.A.C.C. ... View more

This post is about the "adaptive junk filter", its log and a file called "training.dat". Here is what happened to me: The "adaptive junk filter" was activated (both "globally" and for my e-mail-account), and "adaptive junk filter logging" was activated. All e-mails, which I receive, are checked for spam by my e-mail-provider. If an e-mail is considered spam, then it shows up in a folder called "Spam" (not in my "Inbox"-folder). Some time passed and I marked e-mails as junk and "Not Junk". My "Log" ("Settings" -> "Privacy and Security" -> "Junk" -> button "Show log") was still empty. The file called "training.dat" (Path: C:\Users\MyWindowsUserName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abc12de3.default-release\) existed and had about 30 MB. I thought, that something was wrong: The training/learning of the "adaptive junk filter" works correctly, but the log is not displayed correctly. That would make sense, because training.dat exists and is big. ... or ... The training/learning of the "adaptive junk filter" does NOT work correctly. It does not learn and it does not do anything. The log is displayed correctly. That does not make sense, because training.dat exists and is big. Maybe training.dat is used for something else?! I tried some things, but none of them helped. I clicked on the button "Clear Log" (in the log-window). I waited for some time, but the log was still empty. I clicked on the button "Reset Training Data" ("Settings" -> "Privacy and Security" -> "Junk"). After some time training.dat was back and big again. I deleted training.dat manually with Windows Explorer. After some time training.dat was back and big again. I manually moved a spam-e-mail from my spam-folder to my "Inbox"-folder. That e-mail was then automatically marked as junk by the "adaptive junk filter". I opened my log again. Now the log was not empty anymore. Now there was one entry for this one e-mail from a minute ago. -> The "adaptive junk filter" works correctly. The log works correctly. No problems or bugs. I just misunderstood (even after I did some googling (that is how I heard about training.dat) ).   My "idea"/suggestion: Prevent what happened to me by informing the user better about this topic. Just a small amount of information would be enough: The log shows all actions, which the "adaptive junk filter" has done (= moving an e-mail to a different folder or deleting an e-mail). If there have not been any actions yet, then the log will be empty. The log contains nothing else. The file training.dat stores all the data of the training/learning of the "adaptive junk filter". That means, that this file grows as the user marks more e-mails as junk or "Not Junk". This file is NOT the log of the actions of the "adaptive junk filter". Optional info: One way to test the "adaptive junk filter": A spam-e-mail is marked as junk and is not in the default "Inbox"-folder. The user has to manually mark it as "Not Junk". Then that e-mail is automatically moved to the "Inbox"-folder. Then the "adaptive junk filter" should automatically mark that e-mail as junk. Now the log should not be empty. If that happens, then the "adaptive junk filter" works correctly and is trained correctly. (That is exactly what I did. See above.)   Where/How could this information be added? The log-window currently has got some text at the top: "Log of adaptive junk mail control activity.". The new information could be added there. I personally like this solution. On an official website from Mozilla about Thunderbird. I guess that it would be better to add the new information to a Mozilla-website, which already exists (instead of making a new website). https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-panel-settings-in-thunderbird other solutions   I know, that this is very specific. It's probably not important and only a low priority, but this could be fixed rather easily/quickly I think. Sorry for the long post 😅 ... View more
