1. Reply on top of previous message
One problem was that in Thunderbird, when you reply to a message, the new message was appended to the end of the message you were replying to. I was used to Outlook, so I changed it to behave like Outlook (and Thunderbird on windows). To add the reply on top, you need to do the following:
1. Goto Edit -> Preferences
2. Click on the 'Advanced' tab
3. Click on 'Config Editor...'
Now you would see the config editor.
In the top search box, type the following:
mail.identity.default.reply_on_top
If the value is set to '0', change it to '1' and the replies would start appearing on top.
2. Allow Javascript in Mails
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
javascript.allow.mailnews
Set the boolean to 'true' (Toggle)
3. Display last name first
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
mail.addr_book.displayName.lastnamefirst
Set the boolean to 'true' (Toggle)
Then search for
mail.addr_book.lastnamefirst
Set the integer to '1'
4. Add all incoming Email Addresses to your Address Book
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
mail.collect_email_address_incoming
Set the boolean to 'true' (Toggle)
5. Add default CC
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
mail.default_cc
Set the string to the required emailid
6. Not show send Progress
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
mailnews.show_send_progress
Set the boolean to 'true'(Toggle)
7. Check for newer version of Thunderbird once every week.
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
app.update.interval
Set integer to '604800'
(the number of seconds in a week)
8. Use threads like Gmail
Goto the Config editor as described earlier
Search for
mailnews.thread_pane_column_unthreads
Set the boolean to 'false' (Toggle)
PS.If you have heard : Mozilla might make Thunderbird a separate entity
