Despite previous questions/answers I still have the above problem. When I access Thunderbird>Settings>General and scroll down to Files and Attachments, there are two relevant Content types: Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document, and also Microsoft Word Document. For both types the Action is 'Use Word (default)'.

I have tried downloading and saving several docx attachments. When I then try and open any of them the blue wheel flashes once, then nothing.

I also get the message 'This file can't be previewed because of an error in the Microsoft Word previewer.'

I have Microsoft 365 installed and as part of this investigation was 'Online Repaired' today August 29, 2024.

In previous versions I could easy crate new message from any calendar event by right-click and choosing option "change to message" (maybe that option had another name, I use polish version). After update to version 121 there are no that option...

I have a folder under Archives that is displaying strange behaviour 1) It had had all files in it deleted (ie is empty) but after a reload displays 45 files as being present (source undiscovered!). If the folder is repaired these all disappear and the folder shows as empty. Reloading Thunderbird causes them tpo reappear! 2) When the folder is showing as empty, deleting the folder fails as insufficient disc space is available to do this. Yet other folders delete OK

I use Thunderbird as an email client, and a POP3 connection to Virginmedia to download emails. This has worked pretty well for years. In the last few weeks the email content has been very slow to load. Although the list of emails in the inbox in Thunderbird appears quickly, when I select an email to view its content there is a delay of perhaps 5s while it says 'Loading Message...'. There is a similar delay when deleting a message.

Once a message has been loaded, it can be re-visited without a delay, but if marked as unread there is again a delay next time it is read. This is also true if I work offline, so it can't be Virginmedia's server.

I have another account using an IMAP connection which doesn't suffer from any delay. Thanks if anyone can advise.

Messages arriving when the email client is closed are displayed incorrectly when it is opened. Messages received while the program is running are displayed correctly. The screenshot shows incorrect message content.

the email when we log in we found that all the old email are lost, ho to recover all the email cause we have same important email.

Thank you for your advice.

Thank you regards Alice

A few weeks ago, I had a duplicate set of account folders at the bottom of my Thunderbird file tree on the left side, of the same account which has always been at the top and still is. See the attached image. There are five other different email accounts in between. The problem occurred trying to check and reset imap settings for several accounts. I was having repeated trouble with an outlook.com account repeatedly failing to log in. Somehow doing that my gmail account at the top of the tree got duplicated at the bottom of the tree and now it is fouled up. How do I recombine this gmail account back together at the top of the account folder tree? I have repeatedly tried to search in many different ways on the support blogs which are worthless. They just give me very generic answers like how to add another account. The attachment gives you all the information suggested to include with this request. Thunderbird version, and OS version. Plus the view of the error at the top and bottom. I could not take a screen shot all in one view because of 5 other email account folders in between. Please give me step by step instructions to cure my specific problem. Do not refer me to some other generic existing blog.

hi all. i'm try to find a selector that would help me style events with a definite start and end time (eg. 9am - 11am) differently to all day events. specficially, to set the background-color to transparent, and assign the '--item-background' var color to the item-time-label. but without affecting all day events.

i've seen various selectors, such as targeting categories with [categories="something"], but is there are selector or a :not all-day that i can use to put this css snippet together?

thanks in advance!

Hi, I sent an email this morning (29 August 2024) with another email attached. When I checked the sent folder, the email had converted to some code, I can't interpret.

Sample: --_005_MEAPR01MB49026972357304D7AEF47056FDD12MEAPR01MB4902ausp_ Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Imagine A Church.pdf" Content-Description: Imagine A Church.pdf Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Imagine A Church.pdf"; size=155568; creation-date="Sat, 29 Jun 2024 06:28:21 GMT"; modification-date="Sat, 29 Jun 2024 06:36:24 GMT" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Etc. Etc. pages of it.

I checked with a recipient and she said the email was OK, so the problem is at my end. Fortunately, the sent item looks OK on my iPhone.

Please advise, thanks, Tony.

Dzień dobry, przy każdym wysłaniu wiadomości, zawiesza się thunderbird, nie ma znaczenia czy są to wiadomości z załącznikiem, dużym czy małym czy nawet pusta wiadomość. Do momentu jej wysłania - program wisi i nic nie można zrobić ... Ma thunderbirda od 2015r. pracował do tej pory bez żadnych problemów. Mam na nim 5 różnych kont, wszystko działało perfekcyjnie dopiero od 2 - 3 tygodni tak się dzieje i jest to bardzo uciążliwe. Jedyne co zrobiłem, to ze względu na dużą liczbę wiadomości na jednym z kont utworzyłem kopię wysłanych wiadomości w folderze lokalnym (wiadomości do 2023 roku do grudnia) nic więcej nie zmieniałem. Oczywiście tnie bez względu z którego konta wysyłam wiadomości .... Nie da się tak żyć.... Pomocy!

I am running Thunderbird ver 128.1.1esr (32-bit) on a WIndows 10 PC. Yesterday I noticed that emails from mid-December 2021 thru August 24, 2024 from my main email address Inbox had gone missing. Emails from noon on August 25, 2024 thru today are present.

I have about 80 sub or subsub-folders to the Inbox where I sort some of the emails mostly by filters but also some manually. As far as I have noticed, none of the emails in the subfolders are missing. The Inbox (with emails from 1/1/20 thru 12/10/21) shows about 3,200 emails (this excludes those in the subfolders). My guess is that about 7,000 emails might be missing.

The missing emails were not in any Trash or other folders, or in the recycle bin.

The Trash folder for the Inbox has about 1,300 emails going back to March 2024 - all of which I had deleted

I have Inboxes from 4 other email addresses operating in Thunderbird, and none of those have been affected

I do a complete backup of my hard drive every night, so if there is a file that would have the missing emails, I should be able to recover them

     1) Any ideas why the emails disappeared.

     2) What steps can I take to recover the emails from my backups, or other.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thunder bird on windows (115.10.1) freezes with a not responding message when a few delete messages are made. Earlier it used to scroll to some random location on the screen. now it freezes for a long while. Is this a bug to be fixed or something wrong at my end?

thanks Raman

emails stopped coming after update 21/8/2024 on this windows desktop but still come in on other windows desktop. Cycled modems, rang internet provider and computer shop where purchased and they all blamed firefox. how to fix or do I need to change to outlook?

Thunderbird Portable v115.9.0 may be the last working version that allowed multiple sessions and versions to run at the same time. I tested it and it worked.

Thunderbird Email v115.11.0 is definitely broke for Multi-Instance Sessions. I tested it and it does not work.

So perhaps somewhere between v115.10.0 and v115.10.2 Multi-Instance functionality was broken on the portable version of the Thunderbird Email App.

I want to add my voice to the myriad complaints that have already been posted about the way Thunderbird has started threading messages!

I loathe threading!

Like many others, I do not understand why there is not a simple menu option, or something in the settings, that lets me turn OFF threading, permanently, in every folder of every account.

There are so many complaints about this that I just had to stop reading them after half an hour. I agree with most of them, so I won't reiterate every single point. I couldn't see any poster defending threading, and I couldn't see anything from a developer explaining why this is forced on users. Is it simply a matter of the developers themselves liking it, and not caring what the user base thinks? I respect the developers. I respect Linus Torvalds too, but I don't hesitate to call him out when he says something really dumb, which he does depressingly often. Being a developer gives you the right to control a product, but it does not make you right.

I am a monthly financial contributor to Thunderbird. I have used it for many years. But this is a deal-breaker for me. If a solution to this problem isn't forthcoming, *soon*, I will abandon ship. The withdrawal of my small monthly financial support won't hurt the team. I only mention it to establish that I have been a committed Thunderbird user who demonstrates that commitment in practical terms.

About once a week, Thunderbird displays the message "23,000 e-mails deleted from inbox" and starts downloading all the e-mail headers again for the IMAP account. It takes a while to do that, during which Thunderbird's response becomes sluggish. How can I stop it from doing that? It seems to me that once email headers have been downloaded, they should stay downloaded, and there should be no need to download them again.
