Thunderbird Community Forum

I just installed the newest Thunderbird client on my Windows 11 PC but I am unable to add any email accounts to it. My Gmail account hangs forever checking the password and my custom domain account hangs forever after it says Password OK. Both have messages like the following on the status bar at the bottom of the screen:

"Mail for user@host@emaildomain: Sending login information"

Nothing else happens. It just sits on this forever. If I Cancel, my email addresses are not added to Thunderbird.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Even trying to set the servers manually does not fix the issue.

When I first opened Thunderbird (just a few weeks ago), I noticed that some Calendar Tasks were already set up by Thunderbird. (My standalone calendar is Efficient Reminder).

But I don't see options for REMINDERS - popups (preferably) and/or sounds. (The purpose of a calendar for me is to be reminded to do things.)

I searched for options in Thunderbird, and I looked on the information here, but can't find anything.

If I can I select a sound and/or popup to REMIND me, where can I find the option to set it?

I read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202.

When I click on 'Outgoing Server', then 'Edit', there isn't an 'OAuth2' option listed as an option in the drop-down list for Authentication Method.

I updated to the most recent Thunderbird, and the option is still not listed.

Please let me know what I need to do to set up OAuth.

Thank you

Whenever I open a new event, the "Notify Attendees" option is already checked. I want to be able to open a new event and NOT have that option already checked. How can I accomplish that?

Po ostatniej aktualizacji program działa bardzo wolno. Bardzo długo wczytują się wiadomości wg filtrów (np. nieprzeczytane albo wg słów kluczowych). Bardzo proszę o pomoc

Dzień dobry Usunęłem duplikaty poprzez dodatek i teraz nie mogę odczytać żadnych starych wiadomości proszę o pomoc, co mam zrobić miałem tam bardzo ważne pliki, przywracanie ustawień przed nic nie dało :(

Good day. i have the 115.13.0 (64-bit) version of Thunderbird installed on a Windows 10 computer. It keeps crashing whenever i try to save an attachment from an email or include an attachment to an email. Basically, whenever the dialog box opens to save an attachment or select a file to attach, Thunderbird crashes.

i had a similar issue with Firefox. That problem went away when i uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). However the problem with Thunderbird persists.

Here are the last six Crash Reports IDs: bp-53c587b1-27a7-4db5-8e2b-225040240806 8/6/2024, 2:00 PM bp-903b1358-8fd4-43fe-af2c-088d20240806 8/6/2024, 1:52 PM bp-392b62dd-6b13-4df0-b0e5-2b6dc0240803 8/2/2024, 6:32 PM bp-1ab3a2d4-4335-40a7-a2f4-e54a80240726 7/26/2024, 11:55 AM bp-f5a69dc1-ca42-4bd3-b8a4-4e2820240715 7/14/2024, 7:24 PM bp-2c81780c-352e-4c95-820f-e73080240713 7/12/2024, 6:29 PM

Please advise

Thanks, franc

Thunderbird (version 128.0.1 esr) Inbox emails do not contain any data. Last week Thursday, you could look at an email in your Inbox that was received the same day, 3 months ago or 3 years ago and you could see the email, the text, pictures, attachments, etc. Come in to work on Monday and when you click on an email in the Inbox, they are blank. You cannot see any text, pictures or attachments. Note, this is only the Inbox. If you go to the Trash folder, every email will load just fine. I assumed some Microsoft update came through that was causing the problem so I did a restore point on the computer to a date prior to last Thursday. This did not fix the problem. I made a backup copy of the email file by going to "Help, Trouble Shooting Information, clicking on Open Folder next to Profile Folder, backing up "3" directories to the Roaming folder and copying the "Thunderbird" folder to a removable drive. I then installed Thunderbird on a laptop that has never had Thunderbird on it before and properly installed the "Backed up copy" of the profile folder. This resulted in the same issue, some Inbox emails will not open with any text/info, they show up on the list but are empty when you go into the email. Whats confusing is why only some emails wont show any data while others within the Inbox are just fine. Another thought was maybe the file size was too large, but the Inbox file size is 1.9GB, well below the 4.0GB. I did try to run a "folder rebuild" and it deleted a bunch of emails out of the folder, I cannot say for certain if it was only the emails that won't show info or if it encompassed more of them. Good thing I had a backup, so I could restore all the emails it lost. The photo shows an email thread and how it displays the email, no text/images - it has data but will not show anything when you go into the email. This email happens to be from 2022, but I could select an email from yesterday and it would do the same. Note - it is not isolated to an email that has a thread, it can sometimes be a single message. And again, only in the Inbox. All other folders function properly. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 accounts that now quit working. The message said checking email server capabilities. What's wrong? I can get my emails using the same setting on my phone using Auqa Mail

Hi there,

I have Thunderbird on my laptop and map in to that three email accounts. One outlook and two plusnet.

On Wed 31st July this week when I did my daily look EVERYTHING for just one plusnet account has totally deleted. The shell of the email account is still present in the left hand pane, but no content at all. Nothing. All emails and folders and not in trash or anywhere. New emails are still coming in from that point.

On the plusnet online webmail portal they are also gone too.

The other two accounts are totally fine (including the other plusnet account).

I'm totally at a loss as to what happened. It was a totally normal day. I hope you can offer some insight. Thank you for your time. Neil

Today, all my emails in one account are not showing; only the headers. An email that came in at 11:10 is showing but nothing before. It is an IMAP account. When I click on an email, the content is blank. I am using version 128.0.1esr. It was working fine last week and nothing has been updated that I know of. I have several other accounts on Thunderbird, and most of them still work, although I just discovered another that has the same issue. Anything prior to 11am today is not showing.

This BUG has persisted for over two years. Reiterating this question/bug report since it is a constant irritation and for which there was no response previously...

With all the various iterations of the TB Calendar including the latest (currently 115.10.1 - 64bit), it has always been a mystery as to how the organizer email address is selected when creating a new calendar item with invitees. It seems to be somewhat random and it changes for no apparent reason.

In my context I show three calendars, all remote (fruux, CALDAV). All three are configured with usernames and email addresses appropriate for the calendar.

There are two fields in an external calendar properties settings that might apply: Username - the email used to access the external calendar....Not appropriate to use for the 'organizer'. Email - according to the documentation "This is the email address Thunderbird uses to send invitations for events." This would be appropriate as the default organizer but it isn't what is used. Instead the Username email is used. THIS IS A BUG.

One would expect that for a calendar item created, when inviting attendees, the organizer would be the email address configured for the calendar but this is *NOT* the case. Instead, it seems an address is plucked somewhat randomly and applied to the field.

Is this something that can be configured or is it just a BUG? It is painful to have to constantly correct the organizer email and results in confusion with my meeting participants, especially when the invitation arrives from a strange email address.

Note that with upgrades to TB 115 and beyond I completely replaced my TB profile from scratch and the problem has persisted across the profile rebuild. So that does not seem to be a solution to the issue.

I accidentally deleted a POP account and I lost every folder that I had on that account, how can I recover it?

I tried with some recovery programs but it didn't work

How do I send emails using outlook? I tried using the Oauth2 and also closing and relogging into the account. Nothing seems to work.

I can receive emails but cannot send. See attached images.

Thanks!

"Mail to" extensions and "Send to" do not work with Thunderbird. I'm on Windows 11 and use Chrome, Firefox and the Microsoft Browser. None of them work. Thunderbird works fine on it's own but those options don't work. Thunderbird is the default Mail program.

When I right click on a file and use "Send To", Microsoft Outlook opens.

When I use a Mail To extension or Send to Mail extention (Neither works), my browser tries to go here mailto:?subject=Send%20to%20Mail%20%E2%80%93%20Get%20this%20Extension%20for%20%F0%9F%A6%8A%20Firefox%20(en-US)&body=https%3A%2F%2Faddons.mozilla.org%2Fen-US%2Ffirefox%2Faddon%2Fsend-to-mail%2F%3Futm_source%3Daddons.mozilla.org%26utm_medium%3Dreferral%26utm_content%3Dsearch

and I see a popup that says Send To Mail Opening Mail Handler

Any Help?
