I installed TB version 102 and do not wish to update. Per previous no-updating solutions I found, I have the "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" option tagged, I renamed "updater.exe" to "no-updater.exe," and have the following JSON in my distributions folder:

{

"policies": {
  "DisableAppUpdate": true
}

}

Yet, today, it still automatically updated to version 128. Why?

Should I continue with the above version or somehow install the 128 non-beta version? I've been on the Beta channel for years but some have said it's risky. Your opinion, and if you think I should switch, how do I do it?

82 years young and still tinkering.

My emails, in course of drafting, go to my inbox every 5 minutes before I decide to send. How do I stop this? (T'bird Linux Mint 128.1.0 esr)

Is it anything to do with my preferences - or something else. Very frustrating.

Would appreciate your comments and help to avoid in future

I’m hoping that there is someone out there that could help me with my e-mail problems.

I have been a Thunderbird user for what seems like 30 years or more, but certainly it is a long time. For the best part of this time, so at least for over 15 years, I have been having problems that no one has been able to help me with. But, I just love how Thunderbird is laid out, and honestly, I am a creature of habit! Many friends have advised I move somewhere else, but have refrained to do so.

Where to start! My initial provider was madasafish, and later ported over to Thunderbird. After a few years, a female techie. friend set up my mails to use on PlusNet, so I could receive and send on my mobile too.

This went fairly well for a while, until PlusNet were not providing a very good service for e-mails, so now it is nearly impossible to use PlusNet, as after each action such as transferring an e-mail to a folder, it goes into refresh mode, and can sit there for minutes or hours! Is it possible to sync. my e-mails with a better provider other than PlusNet, and if so, could you please help me out with this?

However, a problem that I’ve had for some time now is not only have I lost a lot of e-mails from Thunderbird (and no one has been able to help me to recover them), but I am having difficulty sending e-mail from Thunderbird. The limitation of data now allowed on Thunderbird is very limiting, so I have had to learn from my son how to save my e-mails in a separate folder on my pc at a too regular basis.

What has motivated me to write again after so many years, is that it appears that there are changes coming about by Thunderbird that have been recently advertised, and I was rather hoping that there would be some developments that could make my life easier after such a long time.

You don’t have to be a techie. to recognise that I am not, so if anyone has the knowledge and patience to help me out, I would be very grateful.

when the error login to server imap-mail.outlook.com with username maxg41@outlook.com failed. changing the password when prompted does not allow server connection. Could you please explain how I can overcome it.

When I create a 'saved search' in Thunderbird by using the File>New>Saved Search... menu the "folder" is created but is empty even if the search was valid. After restarting TB the saved search "folder" disappears.

How do I fix this?

Hello, on version 128.1.0.esr I cannot manage the labels. If if creating customised one, the chosen color applies only to little label's icon, and not the message itself. For reference - screenprint from "help", - how it used to be and another one from my acctual laptop. PLEASE HELP

With the new 128 version, in the In box, when you right click on the new email title and the drop box opens up, why does it say "move to trash again." shouldn't it just say "move to trash"? thanks

Receiving the following error message:

Error: Platform version '129.0' is not compatible with minVersion >= 128.0.3 maxVersion <= 128.0.3

How do I resolve this?

Hi Firefoxers, I've recently returned to using Firefox after using Chrome, Vivaldi, and Brave for a long time. Most Firefox things are better than these, but I find the bookmarks handling in Firefox extremely frustrating in comparison.

When clicking the bookmark star, the edit bookmark box pops up. The location dropdown gives me a list of 7 recent folders where I can store the bookmark. If I click "Choose" a tiny little box opens up and, in this extremely cramped space, I have to scroll through hundreds of folders and all their expanded subfolders to find the one I want.

One way other browsers solve this problem is by letting the user right click directly on their bookmarks folders and select "Add bookmark here", which then automatically saves URL, page title etc to that folder. But in Firefox, this just opens up a blank "Add Bookmark" box that doesn't contain any info about the current page, meaning you have to manually enter all the details.

So I'm interested in any help advice about:

a) Increasing the number of recent folders in the location drop-down to make it a lot more than 7.

b) Increasing the size of the "Choose" box so I can see the list of hundreds of folders more comfortable.

c) Stopping all folders being automatically expanded in the "Choose" box.

d) Making Firefox auto-add the details from a current page when clicking "Add Bookmark".

Any help would be appreciated!

I wish to transfer my Thunderbird accounts (i.e. I have two different email addresses in one Thunderbird installation) from my 'old' PC to my 'new' laptop.

Historically I have backed up my emails by copying the Thunderbird folder from <user>/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird and pasting it to my backup disk. This has worked well for more than 6 years. In that time, I've had to recover a couple of times by simply re-installing Thunderbird, establishing it with my main email account (ian_and_maureen@yahoo.co.uk), then replacing the newly established .../Roaming/Thunderbird folder with the archived one, thus recovering all my subfolder data in the Inbox of ian_and_maureen... plus a second email address.

I've tried to do this with the laptop, but I don't fully recover the historical data, all I get is the current Inboxes for the two accounts with no historical data. Can you advise me what I'm doing wrong? If this is the wrong way, what is the correct way? It seems essentially the same action as is described by the guide found at Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer | Thunderbird Help (mozilla.org)

My PC is running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4717) with Thunderbird Version 115.13.0 (32-bit). The Laptop is Windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3958 with Thunderbird Version 115.13.0 (64-bit)

Just would like to check if there are a feature of "Using Windows Hello when filling password" to provide second factor of authentication, honestly its amazing feature exist in chrome, and seeking for it in my favorite browser Mozilla :)

I have been looking for a while but unable to see if this is possible or if there are any addons that can help

I use the tagging feature and have my tags shown at the top. However, I am prone to forgetting that email have been tagged as at a glance it is not really possible to tell if there are any tagged emails in the folder

Is there a way to set a "count" next to each tag so that I can tell if there is still emails requiring attention? If not, is this something that has been looked at?

When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.

The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.

I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.

Is there any other way to recover my email?

Topic as above.

can't access the browser with all my settings - some will need reverification codes if I can't access - any advice please thanks Rob
