Thunderbird Community Forum

After an update a few months ago, all installations of thunderbird always open the calendar tab when the program starts. Previously, calendar tab only opened if I opened it (or maybe if it was left open when last shut down, idr now, sorry). This is only a nuisance, having to close the tab each time I start tbird.

I didn't post about this immediately, as I figured others would experience the same issue (or related) and devs would fix the problem. But it has been several months now and this does get to be annoying. I know that merely clicking a close button shouldn't be that big a deal, but I don't understand why this would become the default; moreover, why there doesn't seem to be any way to disable the calendar or at least modify this new behavior.

I've been using tbird for at least a decade and found it to be reasonably simple to use. I use the calendar function, but only for some installations. I would appreciate being able to change the behavior of the startup or maybe just disable calendar altogether where it isn't needed.

Thanks.

I am currently on Ver 115.12.2 (32-bit), but I've had this problem over several versions. I recently downgraded from the 64bit version (for a different reason), it had the same issue.

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.

I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.

Last night all my messages current not received and saved and received disappeared. at one time my pharmacy came up but when I got out and went back in they disappeared, I did try to empty basket on junk mail but couldn.t

Booted my computer this morning and eventually Thunderbird. New mail downloaded, but does not appear. All messages gone from midnight to 11:53 AM. Messages are on the server, but not my client.

I just updated Thunderbird to the latest version (128.0.1 esr 32 bit), and now a repeated event shows all of the repeats in the list. Is there a way to remove that from the list? I liked it better the old way.

Dzień dobry, mam problem ponieważ komunikat z załącznika pokazuje się co minutę , oraz przy każdym wysyłaniu wiadomości muszę się logować. Utrudnia to pracę. Proszę o szybką odpowiedź i naprawę.

Suddenly last night Thunderbird had copied several folders within one of my accounts. I discovered that the copy versions folders all were empty (while the original folders had the saved post. So I decided to move the empty folders into trashcan and then empty it. However I discovered after a reopening of Thunderbird that the original folders also were deleted, so I missed all my post within the many folders. Now I like to ask : Is there a way to recover such deleted folders, since as far as I know my C-drive has a backup while the program is functioning on my D-drive . So is there a way to recover deleted TB files from my d-drive by doing something in the TB program om my C-drive.  ??

Hi there team,

I am using the Thunderbird in my MacBook Air M1 2020 and there are times that it don't work. Also, it will take days for the mails to actually load. And when I encounter the error. It prompts "Connection to server time out". And the email will keep on loading and I cannot receive new emails or send one. But sometimes it also works. I do not know what seems to be the problem. Please note that my internet is also always good. My mail settings are also correct. As Ive said, there are times that it is working however, it is always not working. How can I always make it work. I am a new macbook user. But always an iphone gal. Please see attached images for your reference. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Does anyone know how do I can get my feeds back? I hope all my saved feeds are still stored somewhere as I use them for research. I just went to look something up and the whole heading is totally gone!

I have a new laptop, and have installed Thunderbird, which I have used for years. I have duplicated the settings on the new laptop that were on the old one. The old laptop did not have this problem.

When I send an email to Rogers Account 2, it doesn't arrive, ever. When an email is sent to Rogers Account 1, it arrives in the inboxes of both accounts.

I have allowed Thunderbird to do the account server setup, and have also done it manually. I've followed the setup instructions on Rogers Yahoo. Nothing has solved the problem.

So now I must see if anyone has any further ideas, as I can't find the problem.

As many have noted, this change eliminates the ability to search for past calendar items. It was a useful ability, especially for interval checking (say, "How long since my last dental hygiene?") but for many other tasks as well. Search of past events needs to be reinstated, if not in the previous manner, then in another - and sooner rather than later.

I want to use another laptop to receive emails, so I removed the account from my current computer. Then I realize I lost the emails as well. I found the profile folder, just wondering if I will be able to access all the emails I received and sent before?

Have tried Nebula on LinuxMint Cinnamon and presently on KDE Neon (both latest versions) and it takes approximately 8 seconds for Thunderbird to shutdown.

Have two email accounts setup, both IMAP (GMail and GMX).

Hi, I have been using T-Bird and Firefox exclusively on Ubuntu since 2014. Periodically, and it seems to coincide with either one of those updating, I have had an ongoing issue with my ability to click on links in my email and have them automatically open my browser (if not already open) or to open in a tab when Firefox is already open. At some point while suffering with this condition it will 'just fix itself' and work sometimes for months or years then do it all over again. I have tried over the years to fix it myself and have read & tried every suggested solution that can be found. I can open my emails in AOL, click on any link and have it open in Firefox. This leads me to believe the problem is with T-bird and not any settings in my browser but just in case I have examined settings in both apps and not found a cause or solution. I have tried every suggested fix in 'config' and have even removed and reinstalled T-bird three different times over the years but to no avail. I really hate having to start over with a new installation especially since it doesn't fix the problem but has caused no end of headaches trying to retrieve my address book and re-customize my email program back to how I like it. PLEASE! Mozilla it's time to fix this ongoing problem that quite obviously plagues so many users out there. I am open to any and all suggested solutions but will be surprised if anyone can suggest something I haven't already tried.

I use pop3 for all my emails. I am setting up a new computer (not copying over old email backups) and trying to get my msn.com and live.com set up. It keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. I can sign into the microsoft email directly, so I know they are correct. In thunderbird I add email and password for the msn email. click on pop3 - it auto populates the info. but when I click done - it states: unable to login at server. probably wrong configuration or username and password. (I did try imap with the same username and password and it worked - I just prefer to keep everything on my computer)

The new edition released today doesn't allow the Keyboard "Return" Key to accept the recommended spelling correction. You must now click the "Replace" Icon in the Check Spelling Pop-up. Is there a setting/other where this can be adjusted/modified so that the Keyboard Return Key works again?
