Thunderbird (2.something here as 3 is still not stable and had some nasty bugs last I tried) sorts mails by date by default. This is fine, however, it sorts them so that the newest ones are at the bottom of the list, which ... is not fine. Since…
I have a workstation running Windows Server 2008 that's logged into an AD domain, and I have a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux. When running Linux, I'd like to be able to use the same Thunderbird profile I use under Windows, so I pointed Thunderbird to…
When attaching data to my emails, I noticed that Thunderbird calculates the total size of the resulting email as much bigger than the files I attached.
Here's a recent example: two images, one at 13MB and one at 3.6MB should in total be…
Whenever I create a new label in my Gmail account, this creates a new IMAP folder. Sadly, that new folder does not show up in Thunderbird unless I restart Thunderbird.
This is not specific to Gmail. When I create a new IMAP folder on my own server,…
When I compose and send an email (I always write plain-text emails) in Thunderbird, it always truncates my sentences and adds line breaks in the middle of my sentences.
How do I turn this feature off? It is quite annoying to me.
For instance, when…
I would like for Thunderbird to show replies to threaded messages in with the received messages. Is this possible, even with an extension?

If I select "Open with Thunderbird" from the save dialog, it…
How can I manually insert a signature in Thunderbird when I am busy composing an email?
I don't find the option/action in any of the menus (specifically not under Insert, as I would expect).
(Note: I know how to configure Thunderbird to…
Whenever I compose a new email message in Thunderbird, it defaults to the Western (ISO-8859-1) encoding, and I have to manually change it to UTF-8 every time.
How do I change the default?
I have Thunderbird set up to use my Gmail account through IMAP. All works well and good, except for one problem:
I have a group of gmail mail filters set up to redirect mail into different labels based on what it's for. However, by default, it seems…
When Thunderbird suggests email addresses for me as I type, there are many addresses there that I know are obsolete. How can I permanently remove them so they are never suggested to me again?
I would love to get hjkl movement and some other vim-like keybindings, like / for search, if possible. I'm aware of Dactyl's thunderbird project, but it looks like it's in alpha. Similarly, Mutterator looks like it's not being actively developed…
I was wondering if there exists a thunderbird addon that gives similar functionality as Google's "undo send" feature? This basically just delays the sent message for a few seconds allowing the user to cancel the send if desired. I find this very…
