How do I set up a mailing list in this latest version of Thunderbird? In the past I was able to group people in my address book into various groups and then mass mail to a given group (mailing list).

I recently bought a new computer w/ Windows 11, installed Thunderbird just fine; but, I am unable to establish my previous groups/mailing lists.

Does anyone know of a way to doe this? I have looked at the help section on this, but its help advice is dated 2015 and applies to a much older version of Thunderbird. There is no "Address book > new> mailing group" option in this latest version of the program that I can find.

On Windows 11 Pro (latest updates) desktop, I use Thunderbird (latest update) to send/receive email. Usually, Norton 360 (latest update) VPN must be turned off to received emails. I say "usually," because sometimes it works with VPN on. Is there a way to receive emails without needing to usually turn off VPN? What I have been trying hasn't worked. Thanks, if you can help.

I like to be able to either accept or not accept the remote content for each message, mostly I don't need it, so I don't want to accept it in general.

However, the yellow bar, which I mostly ignore, is quite distracting when browsing through the mails, so I would like to change the color.

I already tried several approaches with the userChrome.css, like linked below, none of them worked for me. I am using the newest version of Thunderbird on Windows 11.

Recently, I copied some emails into my gmail account. By mistake, they ended up in the Drafts folder. Doh! I now can't get them out of there. If I try and move one, by drag-and-drop or using the right clock menu, it disappears for a couple of seconds and then reappears in the drafts folder. How do I actually move them from there to another folder? Thanks.

Hi I am using the latest version of Thunderbird.

I have an extensive archive of historic emails organised by past year which have been exported to local folders on my PC. In the past a search for old email content, for example from a specific individual, has brought up a list of all the emails in the Thunderbird account both stored in the Thunderbird folder hierarchy and also in the offline files and short extracts of these have been shown. Clicking on one of these has always recovered the full email body content for that specific email from wherever it was stored.

More recently I am now finding that the body of the emails in the offline folders are no longer shown and the only way I have been able to view that email is to note the date and then physically scroll through the offline folder for that date.

Please advise.

Hello from France,

I own a Canon Maxify print "Ecotank" and a brand new computer Dell Windows 11 22H2.

Thunderbird 128.6.1 esr x64 has been installed

I meet a problem :

Despite Thunderbird is set by default in Windows, and into IJ Scan Utility "Thunderbird" is set by default too for email directly after scanning a document, Thunderbird opens but with no new window "New Message" as it should be !

Before, i used to open IJ Scan Utility, select "email" , document was scanned and Thunderbird opened with a new window ready to send the message with the scanned document joined.

Can you help me please? Thanks a lot for reading.

Some emails with graphic links do not open the website in your browser. Instead, the cursor changes to a "zoom/unzoom" icon, and that's what it actually does, zooms and unzooms. I've found this with emails from different sources, both for .png and .jpg images. But those same emails when viewed in a web-based client, the graphic links work correctly as expected. What's up with Thunderbird? Platform: Win11 Home latest, Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit).
