I've been looking for a solution to an annoying problem for a while now but I can't figure it out. When I reply to an email from Thunderbird the quoted text should be hidden in the recipient's client but instead it appears as a normal text making my emails too long and annoying for the recipient. Is there a way to get around this problem?

How to completely reset Thunderbird preferences except for configured accounts? I mean all visualization preferences, menus, themes, buttons, whatever. But don't touch e-mail accounts.

In attempting to address inbox message duplication in Thunderbird (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1453812#answer-1666737), I've been systematically deleting thousands of old emails from my inbox, followed by a folder compacting.

Now, many of the remaining messages are unreadable. Most appear to be blank /empty, while some appear as gibberish text. I've tried repairing the folder using the tool in Folder Properties. That may have made the problem worse.

Hi, this is weird: a particular mail account shows all functional folders (Drafts, Sent Items, Archive, Spam, Deleted) as subfolders of the Inbox. My other mail accounts (on Strato.de) do not exhibit this error, they show these functional folders in the root of the account. Oddly, the folder view of the odd account is normal (all functional folders in root) if I add it to Apple Mail. An admin tried it in Outlook, also "normal". Why is Thunderbird showing this odd structure? If I create a new folder, it, too, will be shown as a subfolder of the Inbox in Thunderbird (and not in Apple Mail). Thank you!

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)

Hi all,

I see lots of posts about emails disappearing but none exactly fit my situation.

I find messages disappearing especially when I move them to another folder. My config is TB115.10.1 Been using TB for countless years as an excellent app. After update 115 it has turned into a real mess for me. Always been POP accounts. Gmail is the server. All mail left on the server unless I delete it. I create a new POP account every year to keep track of emails by year. Have lots of folders to place the inbox messages.

For about a week now, when I mark as read and move a message to a folder. Say Paid" or "Cars", the message is no longer visible or selectable. I have read/unread/folder size turned on under my Inbox. So I know the missing messages are there in the folder but I cannot see them or select them. Some of the folders contents have completely disappeared. This a disaster for me. Has just started happening but was working fine before this TB update. Never happened before.

I will appreciate someones kind help.

I have been unable to get the signatures composed and placed as I desire. I see reference to click 'account settings' and then 'composition & addressing' but I have been unable to find composition and addressing in the account settings. My signature comes out at the bottom of the email and I would like it under the new text. It is all in one line although it shows in several lines in the account settings.

I want to add a 'MOVE' button to the message display toolbar in addition to 'REPLY', 'JUNK' 'DELETE' etc. I right click on an empty area and nothing, I click on the MORE drop down and there is no option to add MOVE, I click on the "CUSTOMIZE" option in the drop down and it does not give me the option to add actions.

I go to VIEW on the menu bar > TOOLBARS > CUSTOMIZE and it gives options to add MOVE, I click on it and it outlines it in blue, but the SAVE button is greyed out.

Is there a way add a 'MOVE' button to the message display toolbar?

Thanks,

Mike Ross

I have Thunderbird working extremely well at one location. I am now in a different location on a different desktop running Windows 11. I downloaded Thuderbird, but I cannot find a sign-in or logon panel anywhere. How do I sign in to my existing account ??

I had a school gmail account in thunderbird that I no longer have access to because I graduated. Once I lost access to the account, thunderbird would repeatedly ask me to sign in, so I removed the account through account settings -> account actions -> remove account. However thunderbird still repeatedly requests me to sign into the removed account. The account is no longer visible in the account settings sidebar, and I've also removed the account from my outgoing server settings, and from my saved passwords, but it still asks to be to signed in. This is preventing thunderbird from automatically updating emails, since whenever it checks for new messages it gets stuck on the removed account.

When I download Thunderbird I get "Thunderbird Setup 128.1.1esr." If I click on that it says extracting but doesnt show where its extracting to. If I right click and extract from there I get a setup file but when I click on that to setup I get a message "Sorry Thunderbird cant be installed. This version of Thunderbird requires Microsoft Windows 10 x 64 or higher.." I have Windows 10 x 64. This whole problem started when I couldnt save attachments and I read online a solution which was reinstalling Thunderbird. Any advice?

Why did I have to use Google to be able to access my Thunderbird account? I don't see that as protecting my privacy. Admittedly I haven't previously updated my Thunderbird password as often as I should but I don't see why it couldn't be used to enable Thunderbird on my new computer.

Hi, I recently updated T-bird to 128.1 and find it no longer allows my address book contacts to be exported to my Windows pc desktop in .csv format. It only allows 'import' from my pc desktop. Could you please check on this latest upgrade and advise how I might be able to do this on this 128.1 version? Thanks much, Reba C

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 began using Thunderbird several weeks ago, beginning with the previous version and upgrading to the new one. From the beginning, Thunderbird hangs every couple of minutes, whether I'm navigating or composing a reply. It doesn't shut down, it just stops working, often with "Not Responding" in the title bar. It usually comes back within 5-10 seconds. It did this when I was in Troubleshoot mode.

I've seen suggestions to see what happens in Safe Mode. I hate using Safe Mode, so I'm hoping for another suggestion or test to do in regular mode before I go that route. Kami

Hello Team,

Hope you are doing well. I just installed Thunderbird email client and have imported my Yahoo Mail account into thunderbird. Further, add-ons TbSync and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync have been installed too.

However, I cannot add yahoo calendar. I have tried creating New Calendar and proceeded up to the steps - "On the Network ; paste yahoo calendar URL etc and the bottleneck seems to be yahoo credentials are not accepted. Please help.

Also is there a way to combine my hotmail, yahoo and gmail calendars into "one" Thunderbird calendar? I am not sure if calendar events from the 3 email providers are comprehensively included in my view today. Appreciate your guidance on this too!

Many Thanks, Amlesh
