How can I stop all the messages in a thread opening when I only click on 1 of them?

I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open. I only want to open one at a time. [I'm new to Thunderbird, I used to use Outlook Express. ]

re I click to open a mail and the others in the thread also open.
when you select to read an email which is part of a thread:
A single click on email will display it in the Message Pane below.
A double click will open in a new tab or window if you have this up.
A right click and select 'Open in conversation' will open a new tab showing all received and your sent responses in that thread as a list, which if you switch off the threading and choose sort by Date, will reorder the list.
What do mean by open?
Are you saying that several tabs or windows open all at once?
OR
Do you mean that you can see the email response in the Message Pane but below that email there is some more From,Sent, To, Subject headers and email content, which is what the sender was replying about.
If yes, that's because the person 'Replied' or 'forwarded' the email, so that it is part of the email.

  • Stoopid question: how can I see all the messages in a thread?

    I know most lists have a "show all messages in thread" option, but I can't seem to find one here. One of the topics I waned to read about has a hundred or so messages in the thread, but I can only see about 6.

    Hi Paul!
    If there are additional pages of messages in one topic, at the bottom of the thread page, you will see Pages: X# and the numbered pages.
    You can click on Next, to advance to the following page, or choose a specific page.
    You can't view all posts on one page.
    EDIT: Thanks Jody! I forgot about that!

  • How can you display all the messages in a thread, showing the original message on top instead of at the bottom?

    I want to print an email conversation and the thread is pretty long. I want to print the conversation showing the original message first, and the last reply last, so that it reads like a book and not backwards.

    You can not do that.

  • A lot of tabs loads and tells me there was a problem loading the page. How can I stop all the tabs loading because ist slows down Firefox.

    When I open Firefox, a lot of tabs try to open at the same time. They all say Problem loading the page. It happened after I tried to download a owners manual for Harley Davidson motor cycles. How can I stop all but one tab from opening.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • When i open a pdf from any website to read , firefox automatically downloads to the hadr disk, safari does not do this. how can i stop all the clutter resulting from these downloads

    as above ,

    The text editor is the text area that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to create a new mail.
    You can compare that with the ''Post new message'' text area that you use to create a new post on this forum.
    Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons that allows some text formatting like Bold and Italic and can also include a button to make a clickable hyperlink.
    Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

    how can i stop an error message that comes up when i am using word? the error message is "word is unable to save the Autorecover file in the location specified. Make sure that you have specified a valid location for Autoreover files in Preferences,…"

    It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

  • How can I delete all the email from a user's account?

    I have a user account with a huge amount of mail (around 50K messages) that Apple Mail can't deal with... it constantly hangs and/or crashes whether I use POP or IMAP to try and delete all the mail from the client.
    How can I delete all the mail from the mailbox on the server? I don't want to delete the account entirely, I just want to empty everything out of it.
    Thanks!

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

    i've been trying to import a cd into itunes that has different artists on the cd. (queen of the damned soundtrack) after its done, all the tracks aren't together. its all sepreated. how can i keep all the tracks together?

    Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
    Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

    how do i stop all the popups every bloody time i click my trackpad a bloody mackeeper or similar pops up

    In addition to reply from Niel, some generalities
    There are at least two schools of thought expressed by experienced users here in this Apple community regarding malware and popups.
    One school primarily uses free application(s); the second school requires no additional software and just some simple steps on your part.
    Read these (of many threads) discussions.
