Thunderbird

I have a filter that moves certain incoming emails to the Archives folder. But it just places them in the root folder, and doesn't sort them into their respective YYYY subfolders the way it does when you use the Archive button on a message. Is it possible to have Thunderbird do the 'proper' archiving via a message filter?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Thunderbird user but I miss one feature.

Is there a way to have emails organized a bit like a Whatsapp/Signal conversation?

What I mean is that I would want to have the conversations sorted by the person you’re interacting with, no matter the topic and being able to just scroll up and down a conversation.

I have a lot of back and forth between my ex, her lawyer and mine and this feature would make things way easier if it exists.

Right now my conversations are already grouped under one discussion, but I still have to go to the sent emails to check what I’ve answered in the past..

I have several mailing accounts configured on Thunderbird, two of which no longer exist (from institutions of which I'm no longer a member). I don't wish to delete these, as they can still come handy when finding old messages or adresses of old contacts. I just edited the settings to stop fetching messages, but I still get notifications saying Thunderbird failed to connect to the server. It's a very minor inconvenience, but I'd rather Thunderbird not waste ressources trying to connect to them every time.

So, how's the standard way to deal with accounts that no longer exist but of which you'd rather keep the already existing mails and data?

i wonder for the reason to have to two large whitespaces for two tool bars when all of it easily could be one. will there be more icons in that first toolbar in the near future? or will there a more menues in the second toolbar anytime soon? or is it adspace?

Hi everyone!

I love Thunderbird and I'm really happy with it.

It's the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn't allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens.

Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn't work as it's only telling me that Firefox is already running.

Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?

Edit: it was solved by switching to the official Flatpak and not the Fedora provided one
