Currently, tags can be added to messages after they have been received or sent. It would be convenient to add tags to messages as they are being Written. ... View more

When using filters it would be nice to keep a link to the unread messages after moving in a folder. When using filters to organize incoming messages, the unread messages are automatically moved into folders. With lot of folders, there is a risk not to see new messages as they are automatically  moved. It would be nice to keep a link to them in a "unread incoming" box. Many thanks ! ... View more

I have a lot of message filters that I have created over the years, but probably half of them are not useful anymore. You could have a number next to the filter name stating how many times a filter was hit in the last 30 days, for example. That would help a lot in organizing your filters. ... View more

Over the years I have acquired several email accounts and associated identities. Is there a way that an entry in the address book can have a "preferred" sending address, such that, when you click on an entry in the address book to complete the "To field", the preferred sender email address is entered in the "From field"? If I want a different sending email address, I can just overwrite the preferred sending entry. If not, could this idea be considered an enhancement for future versions of Thunderbird? Many thanks ...

On MacOS, TB114b1, neither "Local folders" nor "Tags" options are included in the meatball menu. I'm pretty sure it was the same on TB113. No "Local folders" nor "Tags" sections are displayed in the folder pane. Is it missing on MacOS or is it a bug ? ... View more

Bonjour, Exellent gestionnaire de courier et agenda ! Pensez-vous rajouter dans les options "langue à ajouter" : l'occitan ? Ce serait un plus pour les utilisateurs de thunderbird et surtout pour le developpement de la culture occitane. Merci Good morning, Excellent mail and diary manager! Do you plan to add in the "language to add" options: Occitan? It would be a plus for thunderbird users and especially for the development of Occitan culture. THANKS ... View more

Hi, On Linux, the UX for retrieving attachments has been degrading as PDFs became more handled directly in Thunderbird. An easy step to ease the transition from Thunderbird to our OS's apps would be to add a pop-up notification to open the file. Example in Mattermost chat (you can't see the "open" tooltip on hover): What's more, there is only one way to save a PDF that is displayed as a Thunderbird tab, through a click on the top-right save button: Ctrl+S does not work. No "Save..." action in the right-click menu. This is a hastle for power usage! Anyway thanks for a great software. Cheers! ... View more

I have just setup WhatsApp web add-on to Thunderbird, when I noticed that if I tried to enable desktop notifications, it wouldn't work.  So I looked at the GitLab page for the add-on and saw that Thunderbird does not have a prompt to allow Desktop notifications. It states that  there is a setting to automatically allow desktop notifications for everything, meaning that I would get notifications for WhatsApp, but I would get notifications for any other website I visit on Thunderbird, which isn't ideal. I think it would be a good idea to add this prompt into Thunderbird so as to allow add-ons like this to send desktop notifications. ... View more

It would be great if Thunderbird had better support for Matrix features like Reply, Forward, React and Reply in Thread. Currently, the GUI for someone reacting to a message is just another message saying "X reacted to Y with Z".  It would be better if it showed the emoji reacted to on the message under the sent message.  Plus, it would be good if you could react to someone in Thunderbird by right clicking on their message. Also, if it allowed you to reply, forward, or respond in a thread by right clicking on a message in Thunderbird, that would be great. ... View more

We use Microsoft Exchange for our email, and we probably always will. We host Exchange on our own server and have webmail. This was the reason I was tied to Evolution for so long; Evolution was the only Linux client which supported Exchange Web Services directly in the client. Thankfully, Davmail takes care of the conversion for any email client, and I was able to switch to Thunderbird. Unfortunately, no such software exists for phone operating systems like Android. I don't think any free software app on Android supports Exchange Web Services, so I use webmail in the browser (I really don't like Outlook). This is a feature which would set Thunderbird on mobile (K-9 Mail) apart from other email clients. I'd love to use K-9 Mail! ... View more

I currently use the Windows Mail app because it gives me everything in one solution but I know that it is going to be replaced.   I can link and unlink inboxes, I can see all my calendars, tasks and contacts synced.  I did add my outlook account to see how that would work, and I would love to move to Thunderbird.  If it can't be considered by the Thunderbird developers could someone else look at this.   I am looking for desktop solutions that give me the same functionality. Thanks ... View more

Hi! Currently, when I click a link in an email in TB, the link is opened in a new Tab in the last Chrome window that had focus.  I tend to have 5 or more Chrome windows open, each with 5 or more Tabs opened, across 3 monitors.  This makes it somewhat random as to which Chrome window will be surfaced for the new tab. I'd like to have TB open a new Chrome window, not a tab.  I'd like that new Chrome window opened in the center of my main monitor at a specific size.  This way I don't have to hunt for the newly opened page, and then drag it to my main monitor and sometimes have to resize it. Cheers! ... View more

I would like to see the Thunderbird Chat implement OMEMO for XMPP messages. Every modern XMPP messenger has OMEMO, and implementing it in Thunderbird would preclude having to have an additional XMPP desktop app just for messaging. ... View more

Sometimes I need to make a backup of all my messages to free up disk space. I would like Thunderbird to have an integrated tool with the following features: Archiving entire mail or selected range: I would like to be able to archive all messages or select specific ranges for archiving. The archive should include emails along with their attachments. Saving the archive to disk: The archive should be saved in a chosen directory on the disk. Additionally, it should be possible to save the archive as an encrypted zip file or in another format that ensures data security. Proper character encoding: It's important for the tool to support the encoding of Polish and other characters so that all content is stored and read correctly. Mounting the archive in Thunderbird: It's crucial to be able to directly mount the archive in Thunderbird as a new mailbox labeled as an archive. This way, I would be able to easily access the data, browse the contents, search messages, and check contacts and attachments. Introducing such a tool to Thunderbird would allow me to easily manage my archived messages and maintain order on my disk. ... View more

I receive many email notifications from banks and other institutions that are poorly formatted, and it's hard to read the important info quickly. Of course, I have no control over this format. It would be great if I could modify the email body – add newlines, make some numbers bold, etc. A simple regex mechanism or more powerful JavaScript would be perfect. I found Filtaquilla add-on which has an experimental feature called Javascript Action (with body) but it didn't work and there are no samples. It would be nice to have such a feature out of the box. I realize that modifying the email body may be dangerous, but the user can get a warning when selecting this action. ... View more

If you customize columns in the list of emails for a specific account (and within an account individual folders, such as inbox, sent, etc) that remains specific to that. So if your preference in the ways columns are displayed and ordered is consistent across folders and accounts, you manually have to do it for each of them. Of course it's even worse if you use TB on multiple computers as you have to do that all over again. Saving the format of the columns to display as part of your profile would be quite helpful. ...
