Authors of malicious unsolicited emails sometimes concoct a Date field date much earlier than the actual sent date making that field worthless. Unfortunately, the Windows 10 Thunderbird 102.5.0 (64-bit) desktop application does not sort the Received column in emails from the current date in sequence according to time (chronologically). For example, an email received on 11/20/2022 sorted on the Received column with the Received column displayed value "12:46 AM" is inadvertently shown between emails with Received column values "11/9/2022, 4:24 AM" and "11/12/2022, 7:47 AM". I suggest the improvement of the sorting of receive column to allow the sorting of all emails in sequence according to the time reported by the receiver's email server. ... View more

Please add regex and/or wildcards to Thunderbird filters. I know its been suggested and requested and discussed on forums hundreds of times, yet Mozilla has never added either option. One of the most powerful anti-spam and anti-scam filtering possible involves filtering by IP address ranges in the "Received" message headers, which we can all see plainly when we examine a message with "all headers" view selected. Quite often if you use a "whois" lookup on the IP addresses in SPAM mail, you'll quickly find the offending IP in a range of addresses from a country you have no interest in hearing from. But trying to "Match" ranges of IP addresses without REGEX (or at least wildcards) is nearly impossible. Yes, I know there is a 3rd party program called "FiltaQuilla", but it simply does not work. I've been back and fourth with the authors and developers of and that add-on it is incapable of seeing the email header Mozilla calls "Received", as it simply does not exists in the header database (manually adding it in the system registry does not help). There are no easy work around to this. Please add this capability. ... View more

when reading an email, Thunderbird displays the reply, reply all, forward, delete, junk etc options at the top right opposite the sender's email address. In fact it displays the down arrow beside the reply all and the down arrow is actually the same function as the reply all. Why not change the down arrow to mean 'read next email' i.e the user is finished with the current email and wants to read and process the next email in the date sequence. this will make it easier and quicker for the user to read and process all their unread emails. Better still, give the user the option to use the down and up arrow icons to mean read the next email downwards or/and upwards  in the date sequence   ... View more

User Story: I, as a thunderbird user, wish I could view the last downloaded files after their download, so that I do not have to open the file explorer and search for them to open them.   Context / Use case: I almost always first download my attachments (to have them synchronised / organised in my cloud), and then open them to read them. With Firefox, it is possible to reach the list of downloaded file, but I did not find an equivalent with thunderbird (sorry if it already exists).   Extra / specific functionality: * from the list of downloaded file, get an additional option: "view container mail" ...

Many popular apps on macOS put commands under the Window menu of the form "Move to (monitor name)", e.g. "Move to Built-In Retina Display". These commands make it easy for you to move the application window from one monitor to another in a multi-monitor configuration. It is especially helpful when you work with the window maximized, or if you have difficulty using a pointer device. ... View more

I would like to send all incoming emails to my JUNK folder EXCEPT those that are somehow marked as "OK", or in my address book. The vast majority of email that I get is junk. Simply marking them as junk does not solve the problem as the senders are constantly changing their address. ... View more

With the proliferation of gray text on white background, which is more for older people or others with even slight visual impairments to read, it would be good to have the ability to apply black text on white background (e.g. high contrast) while reading a specific email from the right click menu.  Although you can force black on white for all emails under Tools>Settings>Language and Appearance>Colors>Override the settings speficied by the content>Always,  those settings look worse on some HTML emails.  It would be better to have a general setting to use the content specified colors, with a right click to change to a user defined color scheme (or high contrast) for an individual email.  ...

Storing Message Filters in the Cloud would make handling message filters between different devices a lot easier.  Ideally, users might select the cloud option of their choice like Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive, etc.  With cloud message filters, changes made to a message filter profile on one computer would update across all the computers that have message filters pointing to that cloud file.  No more BS with importing and exporting filters on different computers that are quickly out of date and with different versions...  All TBirds would have the same filter and one would not have to look around for emails that were stored in different places because of different filter settings...   ...

I really appreciate the Matrix interface in Thunderbird, however, when I am viewing previous messages and a new message is added, the display jumps to it (the bottom of the message display window). I often find I need to review messages that have arrived since I was last viewing them. Jumping to the end of the display on a busy channel makes this almost impossible as new messages are constantly arriving and the window "focus" is constantly shifting to the latest message.   ...

The 'unread' button at the top of the message list pane should change to 'all msgs' once selected and only unread messages are showing.  Otherwise the button isn't relevant at that point. ... View more

Dear, Your ThunderBird program is excellent and I take the liberty of suggesting improvements to be made, novelties that do not exist in the email program. 1) Add a field in front of the email to put a date on which the message is automatically deleted. 2) Add a free field in front of the email so that the user can put a comment he wants. Cordially. TRAB Madame, Monsieur, Vote programme ThunderrBird est excellent et je me permets de vous proposer des améliorations a faire, nouveautés qui n'existe pas dans les programme des mails. 1) Ajouter un champs en face de l’émail pour mettre une date a laquelle Le message s'efface automatiquement. 2) Ajouter un champ libre en face de l’mail pour que l'utilisateur puisse mettre un commentaire qu'il veut. Cordialement. TRAB ... View more

I have made this mistake too many times. When there is a Cc list of addresses I would appreciate if Thunderbird would notify me before my reply is sent. For instance when clicking reply there could be a pop up saying; "This exchange has multiple addresses involved. Are you sure you only want to reply to the sender?"  I believe this would greatly help reduce my fumbling! Thanks! ... View more

Hi - I'm enjoying TB 102.2.2. (Linux) Everything (so far) has been working great.  Well done. I would like to make a suggestion about having some flexibility in the UI to pop-out some key features - similar to what happens with Activity Manager.  I have a lot of screen real estate - 5120 X 1440.  It would be nice to be able to pop-out the today pane and the address book. I use both of these in many workflows besides email. Having them bound to the main window is inconvenient (but clearly workable as I've been doing for years). I noticed that Activity Manager is showing in it's own window - and if the main TB application is minimized, activity manager remains unchanged.  This is basically the window functionality I'd like the pop-outs to have. Just an idea - thanks for everything!! --Sam ... View more

It would be nice to have an additional column for titling incoming emails when the description of the email does not match the content. This way the search for emails could be done according to the original subject, or the renamed subject, or both more normally. Thank you. ... View more

Currently when I try to send an email in Thunderbird (latest version 102.4.1) the spellcheck pops up, as set, but annoyingly not only checks my email for possible errors but the entire email trail in the email.   There is no point spellchecking the previous emails in the thread so would be good if spellchecker did not. ...

Hi, I would appreciate if it would be possible: To change the subject font color just like we can change the color of the mail text font To increase the size of the subject font These 2 options exist for the message text fonts as a consequence I think it should be easy to add the same possibilities to the subject fonts.
