I have set the retention policy on my Thunderbird account for 30 days both in the setting for the inbox and the All Mail inbox and I have used the same setting for my account however it only works on the inbox and I have 1745 message in the All Mail folder which intermittently deletes the older messages and then restores them.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?

See attached picture of what I am talking about

A few days ago, on Firefox (been using for many years) middle clicking on a You Tube thumb nail video results in an "Video unavailable This content isn’t available" message. Must left click and and can only have one tab open at a time. Even when my wife emails me a link to see something on You Tube it will not open that video. This is very annoying involving copy and pasting and back tracking.

Searching for a solution, I can deselect video previews in You Tube settings (which I don't need anyway), however this only works in Chrome not in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

Maybe this can be corrected in either a Firefox or You Tube update.

Please Help Nick Androu nandrou1@optonline.net

I am trying to add an exisiting email address to Thunderbird, and it is not connecting to the server. I copied the Hostname and Port from the information displayed on the 'External Access' page of the original email host. I checked and rechecked the email address and password and it keeps saying it can't connect to the server.

Hello, my browser on my personal laptop is now under management by my university. I suspect this is because I used this account on their computers and they've gone backwards for whatever reason. I did a little digging but I don't think this is the same problem as the other articles. I'm just hoping there's a way I can disconnect my personal account from my school's systems and such, many thanks

Hi,

I know this must be weird

and I am aware of `about:config` -> `layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation`

here is what bugs me:

with above setting to OFF , when I double click on IP address, like `123.123.123.123` , it selects all , exactly what I want

on the other hand, sometimes I need click on domains , for example I am visiting `https://firefox.org/` , and in address bar , if I double click the domain , it selects `https://firefox.org/` but I want it only to select the `firefox` or `org` depends on where I clicked , as the punctuation OFF only applied to IP, but keep ON with all other text


is this possible ?


Best regards,

If you go to "view", "toolbars", "customize toolbox", you'll see a box titled "search". Problem is, it's worthless. It used to be, you could either search in there using your pre-selected search engine or click on one of the others that are displayed and search using that one. Now, it just sits there taking space. What is the purpose of this? Another thread here titled, "[[Pressing Enter in empty search bar doesn't work anymore|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1452133?page=2#answer-1669039]]", discusses how the search page no longer works either.

If using just the search bar is "a power that be's" version of efficiency, it's not.

When I had TB before, it was not necessaery to sign in or enter a password. If you can't eliminate this needing to enter it at every move, I
