I have recently run into this issue in Thunderbird Supernova. Some of the menus are flyout menus, but others are note. In Firefox one set of menus which would be so much quicker to use as flyout instead of having to click and then not be able to go back, are the menus accessed from the 3 parallel lines in the upper right of the screen.

What is the reason why FFox does not use a standard flyout menu like you find in all the windows menus that is so much easier and quicker to use? And is there a reason such a menu structure cannot be implemented for the item mentioned above?

Thanx.

It looks like Thunderbird updated itself a few days ago and the 'get new messages' (or 'get new mail') button has disappeared. 'F5' works, but I'd like the button back. Can do?

Earlier today I installed the latest version of Firefox on my Mac system and now the time assigned to incoming emails is 1 hour too early. We are on Sydney daylight savings time. My computer is indicating the correct time but the Thunderbird emails listing is not. I've searched for solutions and checked a number of Thunderbird time and date settings but nothing has fixed the one hour time error that I'm seeing. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

Thunderbird: Folder with 119 message, need to send all 119 messages to an e-mail from Local box called "Fraudfiles". I can not see any way to do this in Thunderbird e-mail.

Please tell me how to get my address books back after moving to a new computer. I have thunderbird, and I've gotten my inbox moved, but my address books are empty. I had hundreds of contacts. How do I get them back. I've tried the import tab but it only wants to import from a file on my computer. As I understand it, my provider keeps data such as this, I just need to know how to access it. My internet provider is Optimum/

I just changed my Thunderbird to accommodate Microsoft Exchange (and had to enable the Owl add-on to do so). Now there is NO option available to set reply text at the top of a reply message. Replies are automatically set at the bottom after the first message in the string by default (which makes no sense and shouldn't have been the default). The option which used to be available in the Composition page of the Settings page is not there. How do I set reply text to appear at the top of a message as a standard??

I'm trying to export my Thunderbird addressbook using the export function. I go to "address book"->"tools"->"export" and I get "Export Export accounts, messages, address books, and settings to a ZIP file. If your current profile is larger than 2GB, we suggest you back it up by yourself." Then it wants to export the whole thing as a Thunderbird Profile with no other choices showing. I can't seem to export the "address book" to the "csv" format which I used to be able to. Any ideas?

I keep getting this message whoever I send a message to . - please help this is urgent - what do I do Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@buysellcyprus.com>: Relay access denied. Please check the message recipient "" and try again

I'm running Thunderbird 115.2.0 on a 1918 vintage Macbook Pro under Ventura 13.5.2

There is an unused email account I want to remove but am unable to do so.

"Account Settings" reports "The following is a special account. There are no identities associated with it."

When I select the account and go to "Account Actions", the "Remove Account" button is greyed out. If I select other accounts it is NOT greyed out, only for this one unused account.

There was another account with the same email address that I was able to remove, but this "duplicate" account seems to be rather permanent.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

I got back on to Thunderbird today after being away for a couple of weeks. Downloaded and updated Thunderbird, as I usually do when an update is available. I am now on 115.2.2 (32-bit) Windows 10 My previously received emails are still there, last one 8/27/23 When I click on "get emails" nothing happens. No error message, no indication that anything is happening. I checked the email isp settings and they are correct I can receive emails on my phone using a different app. The phone app (TypeApp) indicates it is a pop3 account. I changed the Thurderbird account settings to Pop3.optonline.net frp, pop.optonline.net. Now my account and the emails have disappeared!! Please help BTW, before I changed the pop to pop3, I sent a test email using Thunderbird and it went through properly. thanks

Updating to T-bird 72.14.0 (on W7-64) made Dad's T-Bird password unusable. Cannot update password without email. Cannot verify Mozilla account without email. Cannot set up a second email account without email. Do not have mobile 'phone coverage. Posting this via my account, trying to fix Dad's box.

WHY does Mozilla not have a work-around for a lost email???

Thanks, Bob L.

When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

Team,

Please help.

I accidentally ran message filter on one of the local folders in Thunderbird mail box. around 50+ messages/mails moved to 3-4 different local folder which I can see from Activity Manager.

Could you please help in identifying those mails please ? Like mail subject or time stamp etc

Thanks in advance

My sent emails in Mozilla prior to August 4, 2023 just disappeared. How do I get them back? Someone suggested I check my archives folder, but I don't see a folder named "archives". Where would that be? Thank you in advance.

I have Backed up my whole system with Windows 11 Backup (because I was having problems with Edge and Windows Explorer) and saved the backup to another HD in the PC. I am having great trouble trying to restore my Address books and Mail in Thunderbird. There are multiple Profiles in my Thunderbird so picking the correct one is just a guess. Is there any chance of getting my Address book (mainly) and my Mail back? Kelvin

I cannot see the Trash folder in one of my imap accounts. I have tried all the tips and suggestions I have been able to find using google searches, but none of them allow me to see the Trash folder.

I can see the Trash folder when I access the account with Firefox. The account runs on Google mail but appears as an account at my university. I also have a straight google mail account and I can see the trash folder in that account--in that account Trash and other folders (e.g., spam,sent) appear as subfolders of [Gmail]. This means I'm able to recover items in the Trash folder only by logging into the account using Firefox.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have been using Thunderbird 102.14.0 for some time but it has suddenly stopped saving sent files to the sent directory. The file is sent to the recipient.

the message I get:- Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-anathan@iinet.net.au.

Is there a quicker way to delete over 1,000 old contacts in my address book which have been collected over the years and are no longer needed. There are no tick boxes which would enable multiple deletion and it will take forever for me to sort out which ones to keep and which to delete.

Thank you for any help.
