Add-Ons

- View message body as plain text
- Use 8-bit encoding for message sending

Tips
Automatically sync all folders in Thunderbird
From here:
- open the Config Editor (Tools → Options → Advanced → General → Config Editor),
- change the
mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new
setting to true.
Troubleshoot
Sent folder not updated
Like a corruption of the TB database [1]. Go to ~/.thunderbird/*.default:
sqlite3 global-messages-db.sqlite vacuum
Mail not deleted
Deleting a mail seems a hard task in Thunderbird [2]:
- Set mail.imap.expunge_after_delete to true.
Missing mails, IMAP folder not synced
- Right click on IMAP folder, select Properties.
- In the General Information tab, click Repair Folder button.
Sync bugs
- About IDLE, and CONDSTORE flag/support.
Proxy not working
- Proxy does not work with IMAP. See bug 1263295 and bug 1230823.
- Refuse to connect to localhost in all possible ways.
- Only work-around is to keep the proxy disabled, and enabled it only when e.g. to sync Owncloud address book.
Broken text edition mode
- Relevant bugs bugzilla 216132, bugzilla 140800
- Relevant posts mozillazine
- My bug bug 1288914
Fix:
- In Preferences → Composition → General → HTML Font, select Variable Width. This way this makes apparent that edition is in HTML mode. Also, there will not be a weird font change when pasting text at the end of a reply.
- To force text-edition mode, use Shift-click on either Write, reply or forward.
