Recently, my thunderbird display changed, with the messages at the top and and the currently open message at the bottom to full pages of messages only. I spent some time trying to find an answer, which in due course I did. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, I lost the “three little bars”, top RHS giving access to preferences.
So, I can no longer click “Get Messages”, Write message”, “address book” etc.
I renamed my .thunderbird (Linux remember) and reinstituted the original . thunderbird. Searched out other thunderbird files (in .cache I think), and then, via package manager, uninstalled, then reinstalled thunderbird.
After opening and closing, I replaced .thunderbird with my correct one, and reopened. Still the same. I assume that means the settings reside within .thunderbird.
Any ideas how I recover those three little bars?
Les.
