Dear Support Team, why is Thunderbird asking for new password inputs although the current passwords are managed by Thunderbird? Is there anything that I can do to convince Thunderbird not to ask now and then for a new password? Appreciate your support Best regards, Erwin Manegold

Hi,

I have 115.12.2 (64bit) Thunderbird installed in to my Windows 11 desktop PC. I have been using Source Sans 3 font as the default message font for at least five yeasr. This font is selected as the default font for composition as well as html style. Unfortunately Source Sans 3 is shown as "not installed" in the font list for about six months. Whenever I reinstall it to Windows 11 everything starts to work perfectly until I restart my PC then Thunderbird starts to show Source Sans 3 as "not installed". I am able to use this font with the Libreoffice. I tried the same procedure with Source Code with identical results. Can someone help me please?

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

Every now and then, TB decides not to show anything on the main tab. Please see the attached screenshot.

I restarted in troubleshoot mode, and I can see the folders and the messages in them. However, if I restart in normal mode, I get the blank main tab.

Sometimes it will sort itself out if I restart enough times, but sometimes it doesn't.

I don't have any add-ins.

Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I recently updated to TB version 128.0.1esr, and whilst looking around to see what's new, I noticed that you can set it to show the number of messages in a folder. This is probably not new, but I never noticed it before.

However, when I look at the folders, some show the number of messages, and some don't. See the attached screenshot for what I mean.

I use unified view, but I see the same issue if I look at all folders.

Anyone able to explain why this happens? I'd like it to show the number of messages for all folders.

Thanks

have a problem with receipt mails in thunderbird. I receive the mails with content : ----_com.android.email_2485516647776970-- instead of the reel mail! What I can do? Thank you

I have an issue with Thunderbird on my PC sending any email of any size larger than a few lines. I can send small test emails with a few lines (<1KB) however any email with attachment or forwarding an email results in a : Sending failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.themessagingco.com.au timed out.

I have tried all combinations of outgoing server settings as recommended by my provider Mail server settings including swapping Security and port but no luck. Please note I can send and receive without issue on my iphones with the same server settings. Currently using port 587, Normal password authentication and STARTTLS.

I found some posts suggesting turning off outgoing email scanning on antivirus - no luck. I have turned off firewalls - no luck. I have tried no authentication (security = none) - no luck.

Thunderbird version is 128.1.0esr (64 bit). Using Norton 360 Antivirus

Strange that I can send small emails but not a size that's of any use Any ideas ???

Hello, i have a problem to set up my A-Mail-Account (yahoo.de). I can fill the necessary fields (name, E-Mail, Password) and can choose imap-protocol. When i click on "done" a new window ist open. There i can fill the e-mail and password in the fields, then is shown "i prove if you are a robot". This will don't stop over a few of hours. Nothing goes on. I can only close this window. a screenshot shows the last status.

Bonjour, Thunderbird me demande systématiquement de réinitialiser mes mots de passe et même quand je le fais, il me les demande à nouveau à chaque connexion. Par ailleurs l'une de mes boites email ne reçoit plus aucun message mais reçoit des indésirables. Cordialement.

After updating to 128.1.0esr, the program does not load the content of older messages. The messages are empty. I repaired the folder, ran the program in troubleshooting mode, deleted the global-messages-db.sqlite folder. Reinstalling the program did not help. Restoring program data from backup does not work. Please help. Maybe installing an old version? where to download it?

even doing "Get messages" my emails don't appear. They appears if I go to "Get help"....Strange. See screenshot wher my emails appears in Outlook but not in Thunderbird

Keep getting a problem with Gmail, since it went to the new security login OAuth2, it works for a little while with all the permissions granted etc, then I come back a little while later, I get gmail popups (see images) asking to give permission for TBird to access gmail mail/contacts/calendar etc. I was getting a bit fed up with it so removed the gmail account on TBird - BUT I still get the popups even though I deleted the account... It's driving me nuts (win11, desktop etc). I haven't got a lot of hair left, so any help would be gratefully received!

Hi- First time here, using Nebula 128.1 esr. about 3 days, I have about 8 email accounts, (inbox messages for all accounts totalling about 22,000+ In one email account does not display the content of the inbox folder , sent folder is displaying the content of the messages, , other all email addresses are fine both inbox and sent so what I did is to right click the inbox folder and properties , click the repair folder and ok- after that i can already view the content , However I noticed that the email 2023 and 2024 in the inbox folder is already gone. Now my messages for all the email accounts is now about 10,000+ only which indicates that messages(inbox) 2023 and 2024 are already gone . Any chance to recover those messages 20023 and 2024? Checked the archive folder, there are only 2 messages there . My profiel is about 17G. see screenshot. Thank you in advance.

I’m trying to access an Apple calendar in Thunderbird. Read-only is fine.

I made the Apple calendar public & copied the URL. I then supplied the URL to Thunderbird. I receive a request for a password. The Apple calendar being public should not need a password. However, I created an app-spec password anyway, but supplying that password failed as well.

Am I doing something wrong?

I’m running Sonoma 14.6.1 & Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64bit).

On Windows 10 after update from TB 115 to 128esr it started work very slow. I've did folder repairment and after that content of folder for past half year or a bit more disappeared. I was looking for many solutions for this but some of them didn't work or were not available.

Updating address: Mine will take NO new contacts, NO new groups, and NO new additions to groups already there. I do have the latest Thunderbird.
