Only just started with Thunderbird, so hope this isn't a daft question...

Am now setting up events in the calendar. I can see how to tag events for a wide range of categories (too many perhaps), but is it possible to highlight events in different colours, please?

Outlook doesn't let you do this, but the Google calendar lets you mark them up in different block colours - v useful for showing at a glance which family members are involved in which events - a bit like the old-style office wall planners.

Lookng forward to hearing from you.

I've been an evangelical Firefox user for over 20 years now, and rarely have any problems. However... every day, I read The Times online (my mother gets a free digital subscription with her paper version), and they've recently changed their site radically.

So it's probably not a FF problem, but The Times people aren't helpful.

Anyway, as I scroll down the index page, I usually <CTRL> click on potentially interesting articles, to open them in separate tabs. When I have a few open, I go through them and read each one in turn.

With the new Times version, when I do this, the index page also changes to the one I've selected for the new tab, which is annoying. I asked their support people about it, but their reply was that <CTRL> click "isn't supported".

Obviously this is disappointing, as it's how I've always done things, and it still works on every other website I visit!

Can anything be done in FF to make it work?

Thanks :-D

Have been trying to sync my google caledar with Thunderbird on my win 11 PC. Have two calendar registrated on Thunderbird. On the standar "calendar" the other is under my Gmail acount. If I recive an invitation from outside I can't chose to which calendar I want to ad the invitation to. But if I send from my own E-mail (not Gmail) via Outlook on the PC. Thunderbird gives me the option to chose to which calendar to ad the invitation to. I have open the Google calendar and copied the "shared link" from Google and tried to ad that when creating a new calendar in Thunderbird. But when pasting the link into URL place I'm asked for "PSW". But when typing my Gmail PSW it just anwers " not working..." Obviusly I'm missing something. So please, can anyone explain all nesessary steps needed in order to make a possible sync between google calendar and Thunderbird.

Thunderbird Problem: For many years I have been using the Thunderbird mail client currently in ver. 128.7.0esr (32 bit) on S.O. Windows 10 Home Update 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5487), 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. I have a couple of mail accounts, one of mine and one of my wife. My problem is that for a few days now (about 5 or 6 days) on the InBox folder of my account, only mine, I have not been able to compact the folder. When I try to compact it, the response message is always the following: <The Inbox folder on "my_account_name@gmail.com" cannot be compacted because it is not possible to write to it. Verify that you have enough disk space and have write privileges, then try again> On my disk the available space is 121 Gb on C: where the program with the InBox folders resides and 266 Gb where the data stored in custom folders resides. The write privileges are always the same, never changed, of Administrator. I have already tried the path of "repairing the folder" and re-indexing the folder, but without success. Can someone suggest a remedy, please? Thanks Riccardo ITALIANO Da molti anni uso il client di posta Thunderbird attualmente in ver. 128.7.0esr (32 bit) su S.O. Windows 10 Home Agg. 22H2 (Build sistema operativo 19045.5487), Sistema operativo a 64 bit, processore basato su x64. Ho un paio di account di posta, uno mio e uno di mia moglie. Il mio problema è che da qualche giorno in qua (circa 5 o 6 giorni) sulla cartella InBox del mio account, solo del mio, non riesco ad eseguire la compattazione della cartella. Al tentativo di compattarla il messaggio di risposta è sempre il seguente: <La cartella Posta in arrivo su "nome_mio_account@gmail,com" non può essere compattata in quanto non è possibile scriverci. Verificare di avere spazio su disco sufficiente e avere privilegi di scrittura, quindi riprovare> Sul mio disco lo spazio disponibile è di 121 Gb su C: dove risiede il programma con le cartelle InBox e di 266 Gb dove risiedono i dati archiviati in cartelle personalizzate. I privilegi di scrittura sono sempre quelli, mai cambiati, di Amministratore. Ho già tentato la strada della "riparazione della cartella" e della re-indicizzazione della cartella, ma senza successo. Qualcuno può suggerirmi un rimedio, per favore? Grazie Riccardo

For years I had a search folder at the top of my folder pane. I forget where it was exactly but it was no more than 3rd from the top, possibly under "Inbox". Today it somehow disappeared. So I've re-created the search folder, but now it's in alphabetical position, which puts it near the bottom. I know I can rename it with something like "aaa" to move it up, but is there another way? I tried marking it as a Favorite, but the Favorite Folder pane just appears at the bottom - so no help. I'm using v. 128.7.1 esr 64 bit.

The title describes the problem. This is an old problem that seems to be triggered by something embedded in the email. Other emails print to PDF or the actual printer without a problem. For security reasons, I cannot attach the email in question as it involves money and account identification.

The email is a credit card reward certificate from Costco and generated by Citibank in case someone else has reported this specific problem.

when i try to change my mobile search engine to one that is not on the preset list, it says i have to enter a URL. i tried already, but it doesn't seem to work. the engine i'm trying to switch to is Qwant, which is popular in france and has really good privacy protections.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if it was possible to disable window decorations (close, maximise, minimise) on the GNU/Linux build of Thunderbird 128.7.0esr. I cannot seem to find this in the settings.

I don't have window decorations on my window manager (i3), so this make Thunderbird a little jarring to use and I'd like to disable them if possible. Two of the buttons (minimise and maximise) are actually non-functional due to i3's tiling nature. I think this is something that has recently been added, as I never used to have these buttons before updating recently after being away from work for a while. They've just appeared and I can't seem to get rid of them.

Am I just being daft and missing someething obvious in the settings?

Thanks in advance.

Firefox had been repeatedly prompting 'Open in another APP' , but then I found there was a setting in the latest version , Sooooo I have set the 'Open links in apps' to Never , and I lasted a day before it prompted again for the to take me to the PlayStore to install the Freeview APP having left the Freeview TV guide web page.

Is there no way to stop it ?

Hello,

I would like to know the command line that allows Firefox to propose the creation of a shortcut in the taskbar when Firefox is first run

Example: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateTaskbarShorcut

Thanks

Hello, I would like to know how the retention policy effects sub-folders. Does the Retention Policy (RP) propagate down to sub-folders?

Example: I create a folder in my EM account, call it folder1. I go into the RP tab and un-check the use global settings and choose never delete EM's. I then create folder2 as a sub-folder of folder1 and create a RP, un-check use global settings and select delete EM's older than "x" days.

Will folder1's RP take president over folder2's RP and never delete EM's or will folder2's RP override folder1's RP and delete EM's older than "x" days according to folder2's RP?

My OS is Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon, Cinnamon Ver. 6.4.6 Thunderbird-Nebula 128.7, 64Bit for Linux Mint-001 - 1.0

Thank you, MA

Bonjour, Quand on m'envoie une invitation par mail et que je l'accepte il est créé un rendez-vous dans le calendrier "Mon agenda" de thunderbird. Pour que je puisse voir ces invitation dans google agenda il faudrait que google soit synchronisé avec "Mon agenda" de thunderbird. Je n'arrive pas à le faire. Par avance Merci. Fabrice Jalinier
