From one of the last versions on, messages search filter is "accents" sensitive. This is a pain on some languages like spanish or portuguese, since many people ommit accents when typing quickly. Examples: - Searching for spanish word "camión" will not return messages containing the word "camion" and viceversa. - Searching for portuguese word "camião" will not return messages containing the word "camiao" and viceversa. Now putting aside the typos of the sender, if I want to search for all messages containing portuguese word "calendário" and also those containing the spanish word "calendario" (note that the same word in one language have an accent and not in the other), I would have to perform two different searches. This has been discussed many times in the last years and there is an open bug from 14 years ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506064  I think the same is true for other Latin languages like french... IMHO, accent insensitive search should be a user configurable setting enabled by default. Thanks for the excelent work you've done with Thunderbird! ... View more

Hello, It would be nice for donators to hide the Donation page when opening Thunderbird and show them instead info about their donation for example. This could be done by checking the account that has the same email address than the donator's (from PayPal, ...), what do you think? Thank you for reading me! ... View more

Sometimes I accidently launch Thunderbird or it is lanched from other Apps.  You placed a CANCEL button in the "Sign in" box.  Instead of closing Thundirbird, it keeps requesting "Sign in", probably because of Multiple Accounts.  Why???? My suggestion is that the CANCEL button closes Thunderbird. ... View more

Many mail clients allow the inbox to stack the sender over the subject line for a more efficient and condensed layout. IME the single-line format of Thunderbird's inbox contributes to eyestrain and wastes prime real estate on my display. I would be over the moon if Thunderbird would implement this as an option. Thank you! ... View more

A suggestion for Thunderbird developers. Currently attachments are hidden behind a collapsed menu, why? Could we please start with that menu open? It would save me 50 clicks a day, which might be a few hours a year. ... View more

Add support for RFC 7628 openid-configuration element in SASL reply. This would simplify adding any 3rd party oauth provider to #thunderbird and allow migrating from password authentication.

From time to time I receive Emails from friends with QR-codes containing geolocations. It would be great if Thunderbird would have an option to decode the content of such a QR-code, e.g. after hovering with the mouse over it. A left mouse click on such a QR code should open the contained URI in the application set forth for the scheme in it, e.g. for https://... open the Web browser with the associated URL from the QR code, for mailto:.... start writing an email to the mail address from the QR code, for geo:... start the map application at the geo position given in the QR code. a right mouse click should copy the QR code's content to the clipboard. ...

In the earlier version of #Thunderbird with the plugin Enigmail, the keys were stored in the gpg key ring Some specialists argue that there should be only one encryption key storage on a system and they advocate for the gpg keyring. I can't judge whether the keys in the gpg-keyring are really more secure than in Thunderbird, but it makes sense to me that you should only have one store for encryption keys. It may be that the integration of the gpg-keyring with regard to other operating systems would have caused delays in the changeover phase. Now the TB68->78 changeover is long over and it would be time to give Linux users full control again with all their practiced commands over their collected keys. ... View more

I just got a new OpenPGP key from someone. His old OpenPGP key was outdated. After I had added the new key and verified its signature and told TB about it, I still was not able to use it: I got an unspecified error message "Versand fehlgeschlagen!" or similar. The maze was over, after I had deleted the old public key (which even was outdated, bit I did not check if that actually plays a role). So I propose to check the encryption key's database when adding a particular new key if there are any old or even outdated keys associated with the to be included new OpenPGP key. If this is the case: offer to delete the old (and possibly outdated) keys if they would otherwise prevent TB from actually writing encoded mails to the particular email address and tell about this, e.g.: "Key ID=.... associated with the same email address .... (if applicable: which is outdated). The presence of this key would prevent the OpenPGP key to be added from being used. It does not make much sense to keep the old public key, since you are now adding its successor. Do you want to delete the old OpenPGP key from the key database?"       ... View more

When using the key management function and inquiring properties of a given OpenPGP key, the dialog window is in general too narrow to show the whole fingerprint. That's quite unpractical, since parts of the fingerprint are hidden behind the right end of what is displayed from that line. So it would be reasonable to provide a multi-line display of the fingerprint. The fingerprint should always be shown in its full length. Since the fingerprint is usually displayed with breaks: 10 groups of 4 characters, the initial dialog width should provide space for two lines with each containing 5 groups of 4 characters. If the window is made narrower for some reason, the 4-character-groups shall not be split but the respective group should automatically move to the next line - adding more lines as necessary, such that the fingerprint is always visible in its total length.     ...
