I updated from TB 115 to TB 128. My list of folders in the Folder pane is now "longer" and has a scroll bar. It used to all fit. It looks like the spacing between folder entries has increased. Is there any way to decrease it? Nothing obvious in settings. Can it be changed in about:config or a userChrome.css file? I had to do something similar with Firefox's Bookmarks list.

Hello,

I need to transfer all e-mail accounts of a domain to a new E-mail host. My idea is to configure a thunderbird client in a server with all domain e-mail accounts in order to back up then. When I switch the domain to the new E-mail host, the idea is to use this backup to populate the new accounts on this host.

In order to test my idea, I did the follow steps:

1) Create a new e-mail account 2) Configured Thunderbird with this account (IMAP) and populate it with some messages and folders. 3) Did the Backup of thunderbird account profile. 4) Closed the Thunderbird 5) I’ve deleted the account a created it again with the same credentials, in order to simulate the account on a new host. 6) Then I Opened Thunderbird and, after synchronize the account, restore the profile.

The problem: As the message sync is done from the host to the client (Thunderbird), All messages restored are deleted. This because the new account have no messages in the host.

Question: Is there a way to use thunderbird to restore all messages of the profile to a new account?

I will need to do this for the almost 90 e-mails accounts of the domain. Anyone know a (free) tool that can do this?

Best Regards,

Marcelo

Is Thunderbird going to hand out email addresses as a client instead of being a browser? I would really love it if Thunderbird did this so I can get rid of my....antiquated MSN account. Microsoft has become rather full of their self, and I would prefer to be able to sever my last tie to them.

Good morning- my name is Paul B. I use Thunderbird for my email box sender and receiver. For the last few days I am not getting my encrypted Mailfence messages on Thunderbird but they are coming through on my cell phone. I have a backup non-encrypted email on Thunderbird and it is working find sending and receiving. I checked Thunderbird and it said I needed to verify/update my Open PGP Key which I did. It offered the option of setting up a new Open PGP Key or verify the old one. I verified the old one and got a Thunderbird response that this was verified with them yesterday but I still am not getting Mailfence emails on Thunderbird.I sent a message from my wife's computer to my Mailfence account and received it on my cell phone but not on my laptop/Thunderbird site this morning. Any suggestions? Thank you - Paul B.

July 2024 - Thunderbird is demanding that I change my Hotmail password, after long trouble -free operation. It will not login. Why? (I have not changed the PW yet, hoping for a solution that will avoid the necessity.) I fear that it may be due to some fault in OAuth. Can anyone please provide any help to overcome this problem? Tom.

On start-up the message thread density is always compact. How do I save "default" setting. Also, how do I stop the privacy policy window always appearing on start-up?

Can no longer view passwords as I get a popup headed "Windows Security" asking for a user name and password. Tried several combination for the various email address without success. This has only happened within the last couple of days. Please advise

No longer receiving nor able to send emails from my Comcast address. Password no longer recognized. Tried accessing emails through my Xfinity account but it won’t recognize my four digit code and DOB to sign in. Can someone please help?

Hello. I'm in a real mess with Thunderbird which I've been using (and contributing to) for many years. My accounts (mostly Outlook/Hotmail) will not connect. Or, actually, they sometimes do, and most of the time don't. I've tried the various solutions that people kindly suggest. But, I think I've changed things so often - and also rather randomly - that everything is in a total mess. Do you think the issues with MS will be resolved? Or, if not, would you recommend the Outlook app, instead? Thanks!

Hi,

I installed thunderbird in a new computer via flatpak. The computer is running PopOS 22.04 and the current Thunderbird version is 128.0esr.

I don't know if this happened after the last update from 127 to 128 or was like this before, but on the compose window all the menus and buttons on the top row are completeley invisible, white on white (if I hover over them, then they are slightly visible). See the first 2 images.

The main window is OK and everything is readable (see 3rd image).

I don't know how to change these colors.

Any help will be appreciated.

To Whom It May Concern: I have Thunderbird installed on a Laptop with Win 10 OS. Some Email I've received and I've read, a few days later don't appear in the Thunderbird Inbox. I can go to my Email Providers Web Mail and the Email are there, accordingly, they have not been deleted.

I also have Thunderbird installed on a PC with Win XP Pro as the OS and the Email that can't be seen on the Win 10 Laptop are there on the Win XP Pro Computer. Can you tell me why the Email is not found on in Thunderbird installed on the Win 10 Laptop?

Kind regards, William Angel

following a tech problem on my broadband providers server which occurred several weeks ago I am now being prompted by Thunderbird to provide a password. I used the password which I used to setup the Thunderbird account originally. I have not had any problems logging into the system since, but today Thunderbird prompted me for the password, which I inserted but is now not recognised. Can anyone help please.

I work at the company, where we have several inboxes on Thunderbird. I can not send any e-mails, the error: Message sending failed. An error occurred while sending the message. Mail server response: tetiana@sleepinginkrakow.com: Sender addres rejected: not owned by user office@sleepinginkrakow.com tid:[21114]. Please verify the correctness of the email address in the account configuration and try again.

Having just installed the new update 128.0.1esr on two different computers running on Windows 10, we have the new problem that when composing new emails the text does not wrap to the window.

Changing the message format (Automatic, plain, HTML) does not make any difference.

Changing the wrap length to 0 in the Config editor does not make any difference either.

This is actually a real nuisance of a problem and we'd be very grateful for help. I suspect this is a bug in the new update but in until it gets sorted out we basically are going to go mad trying to write our emails. Is it possible to revert to the earlier version of Thunderbird, and if so, how?

Many thanks for any suggestions.

the number of mails by the inbox and by the sent items, both on the left, does not match the number of mails to the right of these two items. in the trash, both numbers are correct. for example, i see number 10 on the left and 7 mails on the right. how can i fix this? or how can i remove these numbers on the left? i am using the latest version of supernova.

After upgrade Thunderbird to Nebula Almost all themes have the problem or the error that they change the design when I click on compose new mail, for example. And this design is unfortunately almost illegible. What can I do?

I struggle with very strange function of shortcuts - when I try to CTRL + SHIFT + R. So far Answer to all recepients. But 1 year ago it works in that way that message disappears and the dialog window is shown with info and option: Mark messages as read from <empty_field> till <today's_date>. When I try to find the message which disappeared I can find it in search results and its location is archive directory. I haven't created this directory. When I try to use combination CTRL + SHIFT + R when chosen message moved to archive directorry (search results) message dissapears again but for good (of course dialog window as described before is shown again). Has any body experienced the same? Any clues what happened? Any new update? How to restore proper action for CTRL + SHIFT + R? Any ideas?
