Thunderbird Email Help

[surefire]

I'm looking for help from anyone who has used Mozilla Thunderbird. It looks like a great replacement for Outlook but I have two issues I've tried to resolve on my own without success

 

1- Order of history in email threads

 

When two people email back and forth, Outlook puts the most recent email at the top, this way you don't have to scroll down to the bottom. Thunderbird appears to do it the opposite way. Is there a way to switch this so that Thunderbird will put the most recent email at the top of the thread?

 

2- Calendar

 

I went to download and install the calendar but for some reason it ended up as part of my Mozilla Firefox toolbar. My intention was to put it with Thunderbird. I've removed and reinstalled a few times to no avail... proving that insanity truly is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

 

I'm hoping someone at TCH has experience with this.

 

If you do, your help is appreciated.

Hi,

 

I downloaded thunderbird because i was curious as to what it looked liked and i figured id be able to help you with your questions. I'm a bit confused about question one, cant you just goto the top of your inbox and click on date? or if that doesnt work goto view/sortby-> date

 

I dont see a dl for the calender, it just gives some code that is specific to the mozilla browser.

Kaula, I thought that too at first, but what Jack's asking for is the emails of a thread to be together but date-sorted within each thread. Clicking the date (on mine at least) breaks the threads and puts messages by date/time regardless of which thread they are a part of.

 

Jack, I did look for answers to your questions when you posted originally but never found anything useful.

Thanks for trying, both of you. I appreciate it.

Installing extensions in Thunderbird is a bit more involved than just clicking an extension on a website. See here: Mozilla Thunderbird Extensions #usage

 

hope that helps,
