Will Thunderbird use css for text anytime soon? My current version is 128.3.2

Right now it uses the old html code for font size. I would at times like to make the text bigger say for my headings then font size 6 I use the add-on called ThunderHTMLedit to view the code.

/* <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset="> <font size="6" face="Bookman Old Style">Thunderbird FONT size</font>

Thunderbird on my laptop (Win10pro on an I-7 HP laptop) keeps freezing (not crashing) and after installing on my Android (Moto G7+) the app freezes every single time I try to read the QR code on my desktop. Arrrggghhhh, can anyone help? I'm an experience computer user and Thunderbird user for over 20 years and all my other software works fine on both Desktop and Android.

I have 3 accounts with Gmail They are/ were all the same setup and everything was fine for years and now they are starting to not work properly. The sent mail folder doesn't work on one and it can't be deleted like the other 2. Delete and reinstall fixed it on one. And now the accounts functions are being merged. I deleted the sent mail on one and it deleted another one as well. The "fix" on the box for sent doesn't do anything. One account was getting mail in the inbox and sent mail box, the same message. And one account stopped sending mail but was receiving ok and I kept getting error messages that it was a bad address from Google. I've been playing with it for hours and finally got it sending and receiving to the right accounts I think. It's still set up per your directions for gmail. And I've rebooted TB and the computer a half a dozen times. Oh and TB also crashed once and sent the report. I hope you can figure this out because something is obviously corrupted. Thanks.

TB was working great until ten days to two weeks ago. Now it constantly crashes, crash reports fail to send, can't open emails, reply or forward, nothing works and then it crashes again. I have had complete virus scans, malware scans, threat scans done and none are detected.

What happened? I love TB but it no longer works.

I have been trying to change an account to use a different login and server for retrieving mail. But, it keeps logging into the old server.

In Account Settings, for that account, the Server Name: is set to the new server and the User Name: is set to the login on the new server.

I have restarted Thunderbird multiple times.

Any help is appreciated.

With Sequoia released - the "Writing Tools" invoking Apple's AI are available in most apps now via the context menu (e.g. select a paragraph/block of text and right-click and the context menu or menu bar shows the menu entry "Writing Tools" wherein you can get the Apple AI ecosystem to rewrite, proofread etc - however this is not available yet in Thunderbird 128.4.2 when composing/editing an email.

See the screenshot below - I'm writing this using Safari and it's available here - even for this little message...

I appreciate this is a North American facility at present and you have to fully enable US English on your Mac and then enable "Apple Intelligence" in system settings...but once you have done this, the facility is available in most apps unless the API chosen doesn't support it.

Any thoughts if / when Thunderbird might get updated to use the API to invoke or enable this?

If I can think of the one writing app where I spend most of my time, it's eMail.....while it's true I can select a paragraph and pop it over to Notes via copy-paste, invoke the AI there and paste it back - that's not as convenient.

thoughts....jc

It started a few days ago it seems like every time I stop and restart Thunderbird and new Trash "folder" is created. I have Trash with the garbage can Icon, then Trash-1, Trash-2, Trash-3, Trash-4, Trash-5, Trash-6, Trash.msf-1.compact-backup and Trash.msf.compact-backup they all a preceded with a folder icon. the list keeps going.. whats up?

they do not delete...how do I fix?

I haven't been able to load my emails for several days. It states different reasons why.....today it stated "Unable to open the folder Inbox on robinstrandell@centurylink.net because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then select the folder again." When I try to do anything it goes to "not responding". You made me give a 6-number code to get here but of coarse I'm not getting my emails.......good thing I have an actual Centurylink account I could use.

Account on my laptop not receiving new emails & not allowing to send. See them coming thru on cell phone but need to work on laptop Think google is interfering Please help

While setting up the account on Windows 11 and trying to connect with Gmail for credentials, the pop up window is hanging blank without connecting or populating any data. Any help?

I have an older computer and email (giacomo00@hotmail.com) works OK on it. I also have a newer computer and its email stops at 9 Sept. How do I get newer emails on my newer computer?

I've looked at other people having the same problem. When I delete an email, the one next to it gets deleted also. This has been going on for some time now. I've lost an important email to this problem. Somehow it needs to just target one email, not any others.I'm using a mouse with a cord at my desktop. The menu at the left expands sometimes, when I don't mean it to do that.

thunderbird has worked just fine for a long time, but recently it will freeze, then if i keep clicking it will show not responding when sending emails, but then after a short time will go back to working. been thinking of reinstalling the program???? thanks

I had to delete one of my email accounts and reenter it. Now when I send an email from that account the copy goes into another account sent box. I have checked both accounts and everything looks good

Hi

Problem with emails deletion on google server I deleted email on Tunderbird , mail in the Trash, then empty trash , exit from program. Next day get new messages, and my deleted message comeback again

Any solution how setup Thunderbird for email delete on PC and on the server

Thank you

I am using Thunderbird 128.4.2esr (64-bit) with IMAP where all mails are moved to a folder structure in the local folder.

Since the latest updates of TB, I see that some of my folders under "local folder" suddenly become doubled like

Inbox/FolderA Inbox/FolderA-1

The original FolderA contains sub-folders and even sub-sub-folders. The newly generated FolderA-1 seems to contain all messages from the original folder, but just plain without the sub-folder structure.

It seems that the new FolderA-1 was generated as a kind of backup. It is hard to decide if this new folder can be deleted. The AddOn "Remove Duplicate Messages" does not work here, since it only works on a single folder. Moving all messages from the new folder into the original one does not help either, since the AddOn does not compare messages between folders and their sub-folders.

How can these problems be handled?

This mysterious (1) appears on my folder list even when the folder is empty. This only started about a couple of weeks ago. Have updated to 128.4.2esr but that has not altered the issue.
