Wriing letters in Thunderbird (email, screen, work, click)

[Hazel W]

Something new has shown up since my last update. When I am answering an email or writing a new email or even writing a just plain letter, the column of folders to the left becomes hidden behind my message stationery. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you. Hazel

When selecting to write or answer an email, TB opens a new window. That's whats blocking the Folders, etc panes. You can resize this window by "grabbing" an edge, or corner, with the cursor, and pulling it toward center of screen.

Or click the green button at top left, and window should shrink. You may need to push cursor to top of screen for button to appear.

That how it works on my Mac with TB.

Don't the bumps in the road make your writing kind of hard to read?

I started to say I tried resizing the window but just realized I only tried from the right side. Perhaps from the left would do it. I have one dear friend to whom I write very long letters (makes her happy to talk family) and I someimes want to save it to Drafts and take a break. Can't do it without the folder, I don't think.



So, thank you. I shall try your suggestions. Hazel

There are also 2 toolbar menu pulldowns for saving drafts

One on the main TB toolbar at File > Save As > Draft

Other is on the Write pane/window toolbar at ⬇︎Save
