Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi all,

I received an email from my outlook.com.au address yesterday with an important image attachement. However, I did not notice the yellow bar with option to enable remote content.

This particular email was replied to by other recipients and therefore it was threaded.

Somehow I have lost most of the thread after trying to see where the attachments were.

The email is still there on other clients as well as the MS web interface. I can see the full thread in another tab in conversation view.

If I do a search for it in my inbox via the search function, it is there.

How do I view this email back in my inbox?

Regards,

Steve

I have Thunderbird set up to download email from my ISP to an inbox under that account. A few days ago I saw that when I deleted a message it did not go the the Trash folder. When I look at the properties of that folder it shows a blank for location and while the message is deleted from the inbox it disappears. I do not know how that location was lost or how to restore it to it's previous value.

Yesterday was sending and receiving email to Microsoft forum. Today Thunderbird can't do either. Tbird on on Linux mint 17.3. Never had this problem before. Lost almost all Inbox entries and Sent files. and more in the left panel. Tbird version 60.6.1 64 bit. Email mail contacts OK. What should I do? Please help

Are there no Add-ons/Extensions any more (115 and beyond) that support any kind of sync with Google/Yahoo/Outlook contacts? Not sure MS Outlook even supports such a thing any more, some kind of vulns in the CardDAV protocol (worked great in 2005-10 era)?

Also, like to report major bugs in the CSV import mechanism, the VCF import got everything right, but the CSV import interface is beyond kludgey; essentially put the columns in the wrong places, and the "dropdowns" had only one value, that the import routine had decided I was constrained to. I would suggest you drop it from the product unless it can be made a bit more "professional" than a junior school computer science project.

When opening a pdf file to print, the setting at the top defaults to "Automatic Zoom". Can this default setting be changed to actual size? Some pdf's won't print the whole page, leaving part of the right side off.

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

TB 115.14.0, Win 10 22H2, desktop PC, POP3 from gmail...

I select one of my gmail accounts in TB and click Get Messages. It downloads one or a few emails from gmail and then suddenly the Windows hourglass appears and the banner bar at top of screen which says: "Inbox - (email account)@gmail.com - Mozilla Thunderbird" shows (Not Responding). After ~10-15 sec, downloading resumes normally and all messages accessible.

Happens with all 3 of my gmail accounts and all use same settings: Server type: POP Mail Server Server Name: pop.gmail.com port 995 Connectivity Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAUTH2

No TB add-ons installed, Windows Scanning is disabled in TB, running Windows Defender. Lots of free disk space, 16 GB RAM...

Tried TB troubleshooting but nothing found. Have run various Windows checks (eg, DISM and sfc) with no errors and problem continues.

Suggestions?

I am an older user, 83, with a severe hearing impairment and depend on email for communication. I don't know how Mozilla and Thunderbird are related. Midco is my internet provider For the past few months I have had some of the following problems. Currently Email is very slow to get started nothing on the screen except the upper bar with File, Edit, View, etc. below is another small bar with little boxes which need to be scrolled to the right to get "inbox" for messages if I access a message, I need to scroll all of those little boxes to the right again to get in box. It is quite time consuming and not like it used to be.

In the past new messages have been highlighted, now some are and some not and some embedded in an older message from that sender. i was gone for a week and usually have a number of messages to read, this last time away none of the messages sent while I was away appeared. I have several daily subscriptions which didn't show up highlighted like they used to. I made a $100 donation to Thunderbird at the beginning of the year hoping that would make the service better.

I am trying mozilla support for help. I do need email. Someone suggested I try Midco our internet provider or having a computer expert check this out on my computer

Thank you.

Somehow I was running an unsupported ver 129 on a Win 10 system, not sure how. I was getting a warning message at startup. I decided to install the latest supported ver 128. I did that over the ver I was running and did not save, export or rename anything. Just one install over the other. I have lost my calendar that I spent months building. Did I lose it? Any possibility it is still around hiding somewhere? Help please, but I am prepared for the worst for being hasty in my decision. Cheers, TR

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for a while now, and while I generally like it, there is a huge problem: Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it doesn't retrieve any emails from either of the two accounts that I have connected to it. This happens maybe once a week or so, and it can take a few hours for me to notice, because it simply looks as if no new emails would be coming in - which is perfectly possible. But then someone tells me they sent me an email two hours ago, or I shut down the computer, and when I reboot it later, several emails I retrieved that should have been in my inbox much earlier. Once I notice the malfunction, closing Thunderbird and launching it again will fix the problem. But I'm a freelancer, I could miss important emails or job offers, so I need my email client to be reliable. Is this a known issue? Any idea what I could do?

I have Windows 10, by the way.

Thanks

Recently, I changed my password on my email - from Juno, which comes into Mozilla. After I made that change, I am no longer able to send emails from Mozilla. When going into my email on line at juno.com, I am able to send emails, so the problem is with Mozilla. Juno support has suggested a few options, which have not worked.

This is the error message that I receive: Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'.

I have gone into my settings, and even set up another SMTP outgoing server, without success. I do not know what else to try. Thank you.

thunderbird delete folders at will and randomly. folder remains at source but because thunderbird thinks it is still there it will not download folder again without making a change to folder name
