Thunderbird Community Forum

I am trying to use thunderbird for my Mitchell TeamWorks software but it my windows 10 operating system does not see it as my default mail app. I tried everything to get it to work. I reinstalled, I regedited, I cannot get this working correctly. What am I doing wrong.

I run Pop OS 22.04, and use Thunderbird.

I long ago set up Thunderbird to launch from the Pop OS toolbar. I marked Thunderbird as a "Favorite", so it has an icon on the toolbar, and launches from there. When a program marked as a Favorite is running, the toolbar displays a white dot beneath the icon.

I ran a Pop OS update, and Thunderbird updated to 128.0.1esr. (I'm not sure what version existed before, but I stay very current with Pop OS updates.) With that update, launching worked, but:

- The running Thunderbird process was represented by a second occurrence of the icon on the toolbar, and that one had the white dot.

- If I remove the old favorite, then the new Thunderbird process (started from a shell) cannot be made into a Favorite, so I don't know how to get the icon back on the toolbar.

In other words, something about integration with Pop OS changed, and I no longer see how to add Thunderbird back to it. I asked System76 support about this, and they suggested I pursue the issue here.

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

Hi - when I start Thunderbird my configured eadds (on different servers), Thunderbird (since nebula?) is downloading all emails from both servers and Thunderbirds opens all folders I created. It also looses some settings (color-marks of emails). Hope somebody can help - thanks!

in German: Wenn ich Thunderbird starte werden immer wieder alle emails vom server downgeloaded (zwei email-accounts auf zwei verschiedenen servern). Auch öffnet Thunderbird alle Ordner und Unterordner, die ich angelegt habe, um meine emails zu sortieren. - Ich vermute, dass das Problem mit dem update auf nebula auftauchte. - Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn jemand eine Lösung für das Problem weiß; besten Dank!

Getting error Modifcation_failed when importing my exported calendar.

Opened the the error log (take a look at the link)

Just wondering what I am doing wrong and what can i do to fix this situation

Hello, recently I've been getting several Certificate warning messages that seem to have cleared up, but two problems persist. When I try to send email from domain hosted accounts (POP3), I get the image I have added, stating the sending has failed. When I send email from my ISP account (Comcast), I get "message was sent," but can't be copied to the Send folder. Any ideas? Thank you. (Windows 10 desktop, Norton Antivirus)

I added my nextcloud calendars to thunderbird by choosing "Network Calendars". It shows them as writable but those calendars with are read-only in nextcloud. This makes it a unnecessary difficult and irritating to make them read only manaully. Shouldn't thunderbird detect that automatically?

Hi, Thunderbird is not downloading the complete message. I see this:

--Apple-Mail=_07C68E8C-B919-4F54-8E71-C4532D9F5C1E-- --Apple-Mail=_B6AD83FA-AC07-4852-BF8D-612C00F01997--

Any helpful resolution would be appreciated.

My Yahoo mail (used to be Cox) was working fine until the weekend then started giving me a pop up asking new log in as mentioned in another query: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1459534

where the "Thunderbird" log in page runs through several URLs (Yahoo and Google among them) and winds up on a URL tsdtocl.com which a couple of sites flag as malicious. NoahSUMO suggests running an AV scan.

I ran MBAM pro (scan for rootkits), Malwarebytes adwcleaner, Sophos Scan and Clean and received clean on all. Haven't run HitmanPro as it messed up my computer several years ago when I tried it.

I tried moving mail from the inbox of one of the accounts (I have several) to a Local folder, deleting the account, and creating a new account (thinking maybe something would be different?). Of course, it wasn't. The login page winds up on the same URL: tsdtocl.com

My Mailwash Pro had suddenly stopped connecting to the Yahoo accounts over the weekend as well.

Hello,

Thunderbird (vers 128.1.1esr) folders (INBOX, SENT) have a correct list of messages but when individual messages are clicked to be viewed in a tab, nothing shows up.

The person thinks they might have done a compact earlier today.

I have tried starting in Troubleshoot mode - same problem.

When I try repair on a folder - messages between Feb 2023 and today (Aug 26, 2024) disappear from the list.

I have tried to compact again - same problem.

I backed up the Profile folder once I was aware of the problem.

What else can I try?

Thanks...

I deleted a work account (hosted on google) and I keep getting pop-ups from Oauth to authenticate it. Looking at the troubleshooting information while it is not in the mail and news accounts list it does show up as an account.

Also, looking at the profile directories I seem to also see possible accounts that were deleted a long time ago but still straggling around.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks leon

I have two issues, 1st, I have to keep typing in my password everytime I check my mail, or go into my other folders. It's the same password, but comes up asking for a new password. 2nd, issue I can't send out any e-mails a box comes back stating " Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to the outgoing server (SMTP) was lost in the middle of the transaction Try again."

I had no trouble a few weeks ago and now both of these issues have come up

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards kindly, Kim

All (gmail) emails received to this particular email account since the beginning of today (26/08/2024) have had blank body text except for the following text:

The "From" and "Subject" lines are also blank, although are not blank when seen in the Inbox in list form. The emails are the same, whether in Inbox or All Mail, and relate to known trusted senders - individuals and Direct marketing (known and trusted).

Thunderbird has been acting slow with occasional freezes of "not responding". Task Manager shows it using 500mb of computer memory.

Other gmail email accounts accessed via the same Thunderbird are unaffected and continue to have their body text intact.

When the problem emails are viewed online directly via Google they show correctly with their body text.

More recently a few new emails have come in and are showing correctly, but the previous ones still have the same issue. Attached is a screen shot of a received email.

I am using: Thunderbird version 128.1.1esr (64-bit)

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎02/‎12/‎2020 OS build 19045.4651 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. BB

As of this morning, using a pervious version of supernova, drag and drop of messages from the inbox to different mailboxes fails to work. I can use the move command fine, but the D&D just plain fails.. It worked yesterday just fine. I updated to the latest version, 115.14.0 (64-bit) with the same problem occurring. Any suggestions?

Hi, Thanks for looking! I prefer to drag important files to the Archive folder for future reference. When I recently went to find one I discovered most of the emails I have received since about November 2023 have been automatically been sent to the Archive folder as well as residing in my Unified Inbox. I use TB 128.1.1esr (64-bit) with 4 Gmail accounts if that is relevant. If anyone can suggest a way to stop this I would be very grateful. Cheers, D Ranyami

I've been using Thunderbird for many years and if I search an old e-mail and click the e-mail in the top section, the full message doesn't load at all.

I can see that I wrote to Whoever@MySite.Com, but when I click the message, it doesn't display at the bottom the the screen.

Thanks for your help!
