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?

Hello,

I keep trying to use my plug in USB security key on bofa.com (for my Bank of America account log in MFA), but it keeps asking for a challenge phrase. I don't have any idea what this is. Can you help?

The request that pops up says:

'Making Sure It's You'

Please sign into "bankofamerica.com".

This request comes from the app "firefox.exe" by Mozilla Corporation.

Then has a blank line to enter 'Challenge Phrase'

    • I have no idea what this is. I do not recall setting up a "Challenge Phrase" on Windows or Firefox browser. Can you help me with this PLEASE?! I don't know what else to do!

I have tried several times to remove the security completely and re-add to the bofa.com website, I have tried to reset the security key itself back to factory.

When I send an email message from my gmail account using TB, a copy of the sent message then appears in my inbox. How do I turn that off? I have 11 email accounts on TB and this is the only one this is happening in. Also, on this same account there are 2 "sent" folders. All of my other accounts only have one. How do I make sure that all of my sent mail goes into just one of these folders? Related to this, in settings, under copies, then "when sending", do I click "send folder on......" or "other"? If "other" then which folder? Thank you for any help.

I've set up two Thunderbird Profiles. One for all my work emails and one for all my personal ones. I've got two shortcuts on the Desktop setup with the following entries in the target

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P default-release "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P PersonalAccounts

They both work well but I'm struggling to work out how to pin the shortcuts to my taskbar so I can just click on either when the need arises.

I did try just setting it up to give me the profile manager "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -ProfileManager but I'd rather save a click or two if it's possible.

Any ideas on how to do this? It's not letting me pin two Thunderbird shortcuts.

I did try following the Firefox method https://gist.github.com/jooize/5636b9eb975bde30c38b753e9f301de4 but got stuck at the line where it says "select the location field (Ctrl-L).", "Replace text with: about:config" lines.

Since that last update (128.0) I can hardly tell the difference between read and unread messages. Particularly when there are just a few messages of the same kind with no basis for comparison. I've looked through previous threads and found some solutions that involve modifying scripts. I had ChatGpt help me with the maneuver , but it didn't change anything. I would also be satisfied with another font in the headline or another background color - just something that ensure sure I do not miss an important mail in the stack.

I just updated to the latest version of Thunderbird (128.0). My layout is set to vertical view. The layout on the list of messages (the middle section in between the list of folders and the message preview pane) looks very different from the previous version. The font is smaller and each message pane seems to take up more space (less dense). I wish I could describe the problem better by sending a screenshot, but I only know to do that in Firefox, not Thunderbird. I've tried to adjust the settings (either adjusting the density or zoom) but I can't get it to look the same as before. Adjusting the font size bigger makes each message take up more space so fewer messages fit in the message list. Can someone help?

I also miss the "new mail" menu on top but find it under "meddelelser" (messages) or use Ctr¨-N. And nowhere I can find the Calendar. Maybe I refused the installation when I 14 days ago after a toál breakdown re-installed my Windows 10.

Hello

It appear that the option to never open link in external apps do not work the same when using Firefox from a link in the home screen.

- I configured Firefox to never open a link in an external app. - If I go to YouTube for example, I correctly do not get anymore the popup asking me to open the page in the YouTube application, so that is OK. - On the YouTube page, I use the menu of Firefox to click: Add to home screen. - Now when I use this home screen shortcut, I have the popup asking me to open the page in the YouTube application.

So it seems the setting is not use in this Home screen mode.

Can any of you have the same behavior, or am I missing something ?

Have a good day, thanks

When I reopen my browser, the tabs to the right of what was the active tabs is chosen. Same thing when I close a tab, the tab to the right opens instead of going left.

There has to be a way to reverse these behaviors I assume are related.
