Thunderbird Community Forum

I use a signature below my emails, which is automatically prepended by a signature separator (the "-- " above the signature). When I write text e-mails replies to my emails are with my signature removed, but when I recently switched to HTML emails, the signature is quoted back to me in replies.

This looks like a plain bug to me. Can anyone confirm this behaviour? I use TB 128.1.0esr (64-bit).

Any idea how to avoid/fix this?

I usually work with my computer hardwired to my router. For some reason, this is not working anymore and now I have my computer connected via wifi. As soon as I changed from cable to wifi, Thunderbird started to ask permission to connect to my Google account every time I open Thunderbird. Sometimes I have to grant permission several times. At some point, it stops and I can keep on with my work until the next time I restart my computer and open Thunderbird. Then the cycles starts all over again. Any ideas¿?

I'm on Thunderbird Nebula 128.1.0esr 64-bit. I use IMAP and I have multiple accounts in my Thunderbird configuration. I have Google Workspace for our business which I can received and read email by IMAP, but I cannot send. I also have a personal Gmail account and that can send and receive.

Yesterday Google experienced a global outage and as best I can tell it has somehow screwed up the OAuth2 Session / Tokens for some Thunderbird clients. Over on Reddit there are other users reporting the issue and it appears to be a bigger issue on Workspace accounts. It does not affect the entire Workspace domain. In our business, I have other users who are on Thunderbird and can still send/receive email on the same Workspace hosted domain that I am having issues with.

I have gone into Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords and removed the entries for the account that I'm having problems with. That did cause Thunderbird to spawn the browser window to Google to carry through with OAuth2 token approval. That got me back into receiving email, but I still can't send via SMTP.

When trying to send I get the following dialog, but clicking Enter New Password just does nothing and the Dialog just reloads again. I attempted to add a new SMTP Server in Thunderbird, but that never prompts a new OAuth2 dialog for that new server and same Dialog box appears.

I have been having an issue sending email after upgrading the version. I attached the error prompt. I would really appreciate if someone could help me resolve this. Thanks.

I have a problem with not receiving emails. My inbox is 100% full even after I deleted emails from the last couple of months. Can I ask for help? My thunderbird email is: gajos@muzeumgpe-chorzow.pl.

Best regards, Wiktoria Gajos

Today while using the email got message to compact folder so i did and left it, after 30 min came back with a message that TB crashed, reopened it and found that i can see the emails subject but they don't open. Searched the form and tried the repair option but after it finished it deleted all the emails from 2018 till now and i can see the emails of 2017 only (the first year of usage) -i tried deleting the .msd file but didn't help

-Created new profile and copied the inbox folder to it but still can see old emails only.

-- i sent a test email from my mobile to my email and it received it but the emails on the server that was downloaded before the crash are not downloaded again - i did search on email address that iam sure that we communicated recently only and i could see all the emails in the search but when i try to open it its empty

Hello, I'm having trouble moving the spam folder out of the trash. It doesn't have the 'move to' option like the other folders I created. Even deleting the folder through the program doesn't work.

I've already tried deleting and moving the file from the '%APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles' folder, but it didn't work.

The computer was formatted for other reasons, and the problem still persists. Is there any solution for this?

Thank you so far.

As seen in the image, I have wasted spacing after the message in the list, how can I either remove the wasted space, or preferably, center the text as is the norm with outlook/emclient/others

It just looks and feels so unnatural and i just cant get used to it.

When I am supposed to get a google sign-in from Thunderbird, all I get is a blank white window on my computer. I another computer it works. I have tried a lot of settings and cleared a lot of passwords and cookies. Nothing I have found after hours of trying has helped.

I hope there is something easy I have overlooked.

Thank you for helping.

Questions re Email Inbox and Reply window:

1) I can't find a list here showing the Inbox icons and what they mean, specifically this one. I can't delete it, nor do I see anything in the inbox list of column indicators that it might be. I'd like to know what it's for and if/how it can be removed.

2) I want to have more space for the message pane; the only way to do this is to have a smaller font size for the email List pane. I don't see where I can change this. Is it possible to decrease this font size? I've tried but haven't t been able to locate info on this website.)

3) Reply font: I keep changing it to my Preference, but it keeps going back to a default.

Also, find it annoying that I can't select a specific font SIZE. I've never seen a Windows desktop software of ANY kind, not just email, which doesn't give have choice of font size as well as the font itself. Is there a suggestion area on this website?

Thanks.

Thunderbird V115.5.0 (on Debian Linux) - Can't Find the "Font Toolbar" in email "Write" window ... Where is it?

I've been using Thunderbird as my email client for decades. After a recent upgrade to software on my Debian Linux PC, I cannot find nor enable the "Font Toolbar" that was once available within the Write Window. I'd like to continue to employ Thunderbird as my email client, but this feature/capability is a necessity.

The "Font Toolbar" enables one to modify the size, color, and spacing(s) of characters, letters, words, and/or paragraphs, and one may also adjust the super- or sub-script, underlining, over-lining, etc., of the same.

I've just spent several hours attempting to enable this, searching and trying lots of bad ideas on the local Thunderbird GUI's settings. Still.... NO TOOLBAR! This is very disturbing for me. Given the plethora of search results returned during searches, this has been recurring for a good long time. There are lots of folks with this or very similar problems.

I'd like to continue using and enjoying what I have thought was a very good contribution to the globe for use on all sorts of operating systems. For decades, I've solely used Linux. I've liked Mozilla software from the get-go, and this has happened just once before several years ago. Luckily, there was a way to enable it in the "about:config" settings. Today, I couldn't even find a way to enter those settings in this newest version of Thunderbird - V115.5.0.

If the toolbar is still a feature, how do I enable it?

Though the previous version of Thunderbird worked fine on this machine i have been obliged to install a new version : 128.1Oesr.exe All that happens now in that the instalation goes on repreating only to stop when at times reaching a page stating that to open my existing Thunderbird account i need to complete the form asking for : my name, email, password

I check my Mozilla account and found i have a User name and a Display name. Which do i use to complete the form to open my existing Thunderbird account. Where would i find a password for my Thunderbird account? Nothing appears for Mozilla in my list off saved passwords and tbh i didn't know there was a password for the Thunderbird account.

I really need help quickly because having been obliged to instal the update i am now without my email account. thank you

Is it possible to assign a different color to each email account so that when I use the unified in inbox, the messages in the message list somehow reflect the color of their respective email account, either with a colored bar or background colour. That way I would know at a glance which message belongs to which email account. Many mobile phone email clients have this feature but I have not yet found it in Thunderbird.

Thanks for your help,

Oli

Since Thunderbird was last updated on the 5th August, the page to compose a new email, no longer has a "send" or "attach" tab. I cannot now send any emails through Thunderbird. I have requested technical support twice, however, the only response has been an automated message saying someone will get back to me. That has not happened. I am only able to send any emails via our internet provider's website, which is Slingshot.co.nz.

Hello, I can see that the archive is full for an email account (we get an error message saying so when we try to send or receive new messages), but when I try to delete messages from my archive (to free up space), I see that my settings were set to never delete email messages. I cannot sign in as the administrator to change the setting so my messages will start getting deleted incrementally, because I cannot sign in as I forgot/lost my password.....any help on how to reset my password and change my email settings would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can anyone explain why my "New Message" form is now unreadable after a regular system restart? There is also a very minor change to some other interface items, but nothing so terrible as this. The version is 128.0.1esr (64-bit).

Hallo, ich habe Windows 11 neu installiert, nun habe ich das Problem, das angeblich mein Mail Passwort nicht stimmt. Ich habe schon alles ausprobiert, die korrekten Passwörter von T-Online eingebeben, die Passwörter geändert, nichts hilft. Ich habe auch schon Thunderbird neu installiert, doch alles ohne Erfolg. Könntet ihr mir bitte weiterhelfen, das ich dieses wundervolle Programm wieder nutzen kann?

Hier noch mein System: i7 6700 K, WIN 11 HOME, GTX 970Grafikkarte, 500 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Harddisk,

Danke im Voraus
