I wish to change my email address on thunderbird account, i have been getting a lot of scam emails from unknown sources and will be cancelling [edited] @tpg.com.au email and changing to [edited] @gmx.com and wish to change email address and keep contacts.

My work email is a .org domain. Can I use my .org email account in Thunderbird? When I try to set up my Thunderbird account I get the error message when I enter my .org domain email account. Message says "invalid email address".

Hi,

All inbox emails, except for the most recent ones, now appear to be empty. Can these be safely recovered?

Any advice on how to repair/recover these files would be very welcome!

Hi! Using about:config and adding a couple of lines of codes to userchrome css and usercontent css I managed to remove the calendarbutton, the tasks button aswell as the chat button from the spaces toolbar on the left. I really want to to the same with the hide toolbar for tabs menu button furthest down on the page, how do I do that? Another thing I really also would like to do is stop the contacts button from opening a new page, instead I think it should just switch from the email page to the contact one, not open a new. Is there any way of doing this?

Really gratefull if I can get some help with this! Thanks!

Like the subject says 'updated from 115 to 128.1.1esr and now (icloud) calendars wont sync'

I understand tb doesnt need tbsync anymore, do i remove these? When i try and enable the calendar function, a 'authentication required' windows opens up with username and password. But fails when the correct information is entered. I read where you can go to google, which i did, and get the required information, but that fails also.

How can I sync the new 128.1.1esr with my icloud calendars?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm thinking about purchasing a Microsoft Surface Pro that uses the Snapdragon ARM Processor.

Will thunderbird run on windows 11 with ARM architecture?

Thanks, Dave

Dear Thunderbird Support,

We would like to inquire on behalf of AIMS International Malaysia Sdn Bhd, as we are an outsourcer offering IT support vendor services. They are currently encountering Thunderbird email that is much too slow to download new emails. They stated that this problem has existed since July 19, 2024, following the global IT failures.

Please provide us with a solution for this issue, and we have attached an image for your perusal.

After new update to version 121 option fast filter is working so bad. Searching anything takes a lot of time and even sometimes crashes whole program. Normal working is not possible. What can I do?

Since August 15, 2024, I have not been receiving emails on Thunderbird. I get a message saying the account is being processed and I must wait until the processing is complete before receiving messages. But it never is completed.

I am receiving emails from Thunderbird on my I-phone, but not on my computer.

Any ideas?

The folders and address lists exist in .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default /Mail/Local Folders

and in  .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default/storage/abook/mab  and abook/sqlite

How can I get thunderbird to access these resources??

I recently went away for a few days and shut down my pc. On my return I have had to recreate a new account through Thunderbird. Having done that I now find that I have lost all my local folders in my email. These are folders containing a history of emails received that I've needed to retain. I would like to get these back but don't know how to and cannot see any way of doing so.

When I create a new event I have to watch as the calendar it wants to save to in "Contacts" not my Google calendar. I have to select my Google calendar. Contacts calendar does not show up when I create a new event directly in Google calendar. I can turn off the Contacts calendar but I like that is shows my contacts birthdays. Is there a way to make my Google calendar default?

All of a sudden I cannot access yahoo mail via Thunderbird. I keep getting prompted for my email id and password, but that doesn't help.

This started August 28, 2024. OAuth2 has been enabled forever.

On the Yahoo help page, there is mention of an "app password" for third-party access. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account/learn-generate-password-sln15241.html

Has anybody done this? What exactly does it mean? Do I substitute this generated password in the Thunderbird account settings for my real password?

Hello, One of my main contacts (my boss) has all of a sudden had his emails converted to plain text, and all attachments are coming over as .dat files. When I view them in a web browser program (Roundcube), they are fine with formatting, and the attachments are present in correct file formats (JPG, PDF, etc.). In Thunderbird though, no dice. And yes I have checked to see that the message body is set to Original HTML

I am updated to V128.1.1esr

Thoughts???

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
