I keep getting the message that TB can't connect to my server. I am able to go to my server in a Browser window, I have re-entered the password Multiple Times and it still will not connect. What else can I look at? Tony

Is it possible to define user-defined formatting characteristics when creating a message and to save them permanently for each new mail created? In particular, I would like to be able to user-define the line spacing at the top and bottom (i.e. the line height ) and, if possible, also the other formatting parameters (such as font, font size, font attrbutes and so on) in different paragraphs and save them permanently for new mails. The existing option ‘Paragraph’ via the menu items Format - Paragraph - Paragraph does not offer this possibility according to my tests. Is there such a possibility in Thunderbird? Many greetings from Germany

About two days ago (july 23, 2024), Thunderdbird could no longer connect to GMail without any changes from my side AFAIK. I'm getting a window saying "Enter credentials" with a Next button that results in a 404 error (see images). Does anybody know what went wrong here?

Reagrds, John

I have the same Gmail Account in the same version of Thunderbird (128.0.1esr (64-bit) on my 2 Laptops. My Contacts in my browser (Firefox) show 127 contacts. On Asus 2 only Address Book shows contacts (127) On Asus 1, Address Book shows 330 contacts, Personal Address Book shows 126 contacts. All contact items in FF Bin are empty.

I click answer I get white text on white. I cannot read this text and I am not sure if the receiver can.

Why does this happen, what are the steps to prevent this. Why is Thunderbird doing this?

So I have Thunderbird 128.0esr (64-bit) installed on Ubuntu 24; I have found a strange issue when I try to send emails with attachments. In this scenario, I scan files in from my scanner to a network folder, and then copy that file from the network folder to a final location, where I chose from Thunderbird to "attach"

If Thunderbird has been opened prior to the document being scanned and created in the first network folder, if I try to attach it to a email, it does, however, when I try to send I get a error "I do not have permission to access that file"; Strange. I close out Thunderbird, re-open, and try to send the file again, and BOOM, no issues with file permissions. I have replicated this many times.

Any ideas? I have tried running "thunderbird" in console to see if any debug information shows up, it does not. And yes, "closing the program and reopening it all-things-equal" always fixes the problem.

Need procedure to up date email that has been transferred to Yahoo from Cox.net Cox stated I can keep my email address and emails will come in through Yahoo. I do not have a Yahoo account which is separate from the Cox.net email address

Need procedure to keep Thunderbird as email contact for emails. Confused!! Please define how to get back to original system of using Thunderbird and automatically open up my emails. Thx

Hi All, I'm using Thunderbird to manage Apple and Outlook emails. When I logged in this morning all my folders under the apple ID have disappeared. They still exist in webmail but not in the program. Cant work how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andrew

My internet provider IInet has recently changed to The Messaging Company to provide email handling. I have changed over the messaging company as recommended but now find I cannot access Thunderbird as the password has been changed by the new company. Is there away of recovering my account? as I prefer the thunderbird application. As I cannot access my emails addressed to stewm@iinet.net.au any communication should be sent to my Gmail account stewmasters40@gmail.com

My emails are gone after using compact. I have several email addresses and some of them are offline. Nonetheless, the old emails remained in the inbox. Now, after compacting, my emails are gone. The Sent Folder is completely gone. The Inbox is empty. My current beta version 129.0b5 (32-bit). PC Win10 Pro x64. Any hint or solution is highly appreciated.

Hi

I am using beta build 129.0b3 of Thunderbird, don't think the issue I'll describe is related to the beta build tho. I am using SpamAssasin to identify spam type mails. I'll include a screenshot to best illustrate my concerns...(attached)

Even tho I continually go into my spam folder, I seem to veyr much need to do this, so many of my regualr mails now end up there. I right click on each to Mark - Mark not as junk and yet over the days of use they are still being sent to that junk folder. As an exampl the ones from Meta are receipts for virtual games bought from their store. Several days back I marked those as not junk, the header of the mail rarely changes, but still they are being sent to my junk folder.

Within Outlook, on line, those mails are meant to be diverted to my Meta folder. If I was to go back to using Outlook, avoided opening it for quite some time now, I would expect to find those mails within that folder, and the Amazon ones within a Amazon folder. That is due to rules created for their placement within such folders.

I guess my question is two part.....

why do such mails seem to persist in being marked as spam..? Secondly is there a ways to ensure they end up in their intended folders..?

by right clicking on them now they ar ethe nsent to my general inbox, including the BBC type.

Is there no such thing as a safe senders list tha tcan include omains and indivudal people / companies etc..?

Many thanks
