Thunderbird Community Forum

We had 6 or 7 address books yesterday. Today we have two. We had at least 1,400 contacts. Now we have about four hundred...Business contacts, clients, HOA members. Auto fill of existing email addresses no longer happens, and especially this morning a new client's address was saved, we had been writing back and forth and all that info disappeared.

There were about 1200 emails in the main view yesterday. Today much smaller. I was told mozilla is quitting.

 Is mozilla disappearing and dead ?   We are very sad.  

We use mozilla to run this business. This hurts.

Thank you.

I lost my hard drive and need to load everything new. I have an older B/U copy that I would like to import all data from prior to importing my pending pop3 E-mails from Yahoo. What would be the procedure?

I get the green light for creating an account... but it goes yellow tag when I click Done. Will you help, please. I am able to log into my account online with the same PW I have to use in setting up the Thunderbird account. Thanks from a donation customer. //... Joe

It takes to clicks to delete an item in the list or else moving the cursor to the detail screen. How can you change the format to put a trashcan next to the star button. Outlook presents a red trashcan when you move the cursor over the email title.

Is there a way to reformat the view to add this delete trashcan.

Trying to setup a new mail account in Thunderbird, it finds the configuration in Mozilla ISP database (POP3) but does accept the password. Yet I can setup OK Yahoo Mail with same address and password

I couldn't open links in emails. I tried all the "solutions". None worked. I then went to SETTINGS\GENERAL scroll down to Files & Attachments. Under Actions, click the one next to HTTP, then USE OTHER. It said there were no apps for this. I clicked the left gray bar on the bottom below No applications, searched for Chrome and double clicked it. I did the same for HTTPS. everything works now.

Somehow I was running an unsupported ver 129 on a Win 10 system, not sure how. I was getting a warning message at startup. I decided to install the latest supported ver 128. I did that over the ver I was running and did not save, export or rename anything. Just one install over the other. I have lost my calendar that I spent months building. Did I lose it? Any possibility it is still around hiding somewhere? Help please, but I am prepared for the worst for being hasty in my decision. Cheers, TR

I have many mailing lists. If I try to create a new message, any mailing list name turns red with a yellow triangle. The send button is greyed out, message cannot be sent.

I already tried replacing spaces in the mailing list name with underscores. Did nothing. I rcreated a new mailing list called "Test" (one word, no spaces) with only two names in it. Same thing happens. None of many mailing lists which used to work can be recognized anymore.

Thunderbird version is 115.14.0 (32-bit), running on Windows 7 Professional SP1

Hello!

I´m having some really weird issues opening mail with attachments. Sometimes they open normally and other times the mail body is just an endless stream of random characters and it slows down Thunderbird drastically.

These mails are in my local folder and saved from a Gmail account.

Thunderbird was configured to send & receive via Cox /yahoo mail. Worked until recently but can no longer send or receive.

Please advise. Best Regards, Leigh Wax

Error message: 'Unable to write email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you to write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox'. I am not receiving emails since the 11th August. Seems stuck on a particular email. Can you help me please?

I am using Thunderbird Beta 130.0b1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631. I have a KVM attached. My basic setup is, when the main PC (my home PC with the above specs) is connected to the KVM, I get my main monitor in the center screen with a secondary monitor on the left. When I switch the KVM, my center monitor shows the macbook on the right side (work monitor). When I switch back to the Windows 11 computer, everything goes back to the previous position except Thunderbird.

Here is something I've tried so far that seems to fix it, but it is odd that no other applications have this problem. If I make the secondary monitor on the left my primary monitor, and dock thunderbird on the left half of that monitor, when I switch the KVM to the macbook and back again, it seems to remember correctly where Thunderbird belongs (along with every other app). But if I go back to having the large center monitor the primary display, and switch the KVM away and back, everything goes back to where it was except Thunderbird for some reason.

I tried to run the system with the left monitor as the primary for a while and I use keyboard shortcuts too often which end up popping up items over on the side monitor all of the time which is more irritating. So I am wondering if there is something built into Thunderbird that specifically conflicts with remembering it's position when the KVM switches back.

It seems that the real problem is the fact that the center monitor is not only disappearing, but that the center monitor is switching between being the primary monitor and then suddenly being unavailable. Like Windows 11 is trying, only in the case of thunderbird, to remember it's last position relative to the primary monitor as opposed to its position relative to the last time the computer ran in a specific monitor configuration.

Thoughts? Should I report this to Microsoft maybe? Since this only happens with Thunderbird, is it something built into Thunderbird?

At my wits end with Thunderbird!

Have tried many many times now to remove from my Macbook Air and reinstall. Each time get a STAT command error or Incoming server already exists. Do not know how to fix this any more. Can I talk to someone in real time?

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes> Mail server pop.gmail.com responded:[Auth] invalid credentials. This is the message I am receiving after removing all Thunderbird (because stopped working) and downloaded new installation. I have been trying to get Thunderbird to work for the past week and have tried everything i can think of. Thunderbird help is appallingly bad!
