Hi,

I installed thunderbird in a new computer via flatpak. The computer is running PopOS 22.04 and the current Thunderbird version is 128.0esr.

I don't know if this happened after the last update from 127 to 128 or was like this before, but on the compose window all the menus and buttons on the top row are completeley invisible, white on white (if I hover over them, then they are slightly visible). See the first 2 images.

The main window is OK and everything is readable (see 3rd image).

I don't know how to change these colors.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thunderbird had been working perfectly for years under Mac OSX 10.13.6 (High Sierra) until this morning. Now attempts to start it result in an error message "You can't use this version of the application 'Thunderbird_78_10_0.app' with this version of MacOS. You have MacOS 10.13.6. The application requires MacOS 10.15 or later." The app shows a modified date of July 12, 2024, i.e., this morning and a size of 434.7MB. Perhaps it auto updated itself without checking that the update was compatible with the environment? Any suggestions about how to reverse that update or otherwise fix the problem would be appreciated!!! Garth Fletcher

Good Morning,

I am having trouble with my email flow of traffic. I can send out an email but I can't receive an email. I used to use this program so I am a returning client from Boardview Advertsing. I know very little about POP/IMAP things nor how to fix things. Is there any way I can speak with an actual person about this as I'm supposed to jump back in with Boardview Advertising, and apparently no one is receiving my emails.

Really sorry but please can someone help me?

Regards,

I am using windows 11 pro and until last night had been happily using Thunderbird with no problems. Suddenly i go to check my emails and every one of my email accounts have gone, vanished, dissapered. All i was left with was a screen saying to enter an email address as in setting it up from scratch. Any thoughts on why this has happened and has it happened to anyone else?

Thanks

Paul

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue where the fonts in my emails are appearing jumbled and unreadable in Thunderbird. This seems to affect both the subject lines and body text of emails, as you can see in the attached screenshot. Some details:

This is happening with multiple emails, not just one The issue persists across different senders and email types

I'm using Windows 11.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi - After the June 25 update, my T-Bird mail program is not connecting my Roadrunner email accounts. T-Bird does still connect to GMail. Verified the server setting with TWC. Please let me know what other troubleshooting steps to take. Thank you - Gina

Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why, when I try to copy email folders from Local to Gmail using Thunderbird, only the first 1-2 subfolders are copying over. (I tried to upload a screen shot to illustrate, but keep getting an error message.)

My end goal is to have all email files residing in Gmail, NOT Local, so they're automatically saved and accessible via Gmail if ever needed (though I use & love Thunderbird for everyday viewing/responding/organizing!) I have a separate biz email that was set up this way at the start -- but for some reason my personal email files all ended up in Local and I can't figure out how to get everything 100% duplicated in Gmail so I can confidently delete the Local folders. Praying I won't have to do this manually for every subfolder!!

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

With all of my .comcast email accounts , when I attempt to send an email I get an "An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-c2p-539727.sys.comcast.net resomta-c2p-539727.sys.comcast.net Excessive failed authentication, ESMTP server temporarily not available." Many attempts to correct with comcast. They told me to click network, choose mode of connection in the connection services list, click details, select TCP/IP and renew DHCP lease. That is beyond my abilities, even though I attempted to follow directions thru Thunderbird, I get nowhere! Help!

when i want to write an email, i would like right next to the "To" "cc" Bcc" boxes where an email address goes there to be a small clickable tab, so when i want to add a email to the cc area i just click the small tab next to the cc area and it opens my address book and i then double click on which email i want to add to the cc and it adds it. like it was in outlook 2007. This way everything is precisely in the area where you are pressing things, less clicks this way as well. i hope this can be applied soon. thanks .

I am only able to go back 3 days for my deleted emails, and there are 2 emails from July 5, 6 or 7 I cannot find. How do I find deleted emails and retrieve them? Can someone else remove emails from my inbox?

Hello everyone, Do you know of any way how to use the sensitivity headers (normal, personal, private, confidential) on Thunderbird? The Sensitivity Header is not compatible with the current version of Thunderbird and Thunderbird itself does not seem to have this simple function.

Is there any Thunderbird developer here? I suppose this is not a compliacated implementation (you already have options for receipt and delivery status headers, I suppose adding the sensitivity tag wouldn't be anything hard). Would you please consider this for your next release?

Thanks a lot!

Often I need to see the history of a conversation, and for that I need to have emails listed chronologically.

I would expect that clicking on the date header (which tooltip "Sort by date") would do that, but it's not the case).

For example: https://imgur.com/hhCd9zF.png (also attached).

In the screenshot, from top to bottom, you can see emails sent in July 2023, then August 2023, then July 2023 again, then more August 2023. The order is clearly messed up.

I've had this issue for a very long time and it's very hampering.

Thanks. Cheers, Manuel

I'm trying to send a pdf file ( generated by my bank ) to a third party for them to complete their part. When I click submit, thunderbird opens up instead of my default email app- Microsoft Office- outlook. I've tried various searches and I have deleted the pdf option in 'tools/files but thunderbird still opens. I read something about TWINUI that I just don't understand... I'm 73 Can anyone help?

Hello.

I have a problem with Thunderbird in the latest version; it doesn't open some PDF files that are in attachments. The file is not empty, it has the correct size, but when opened through the preview in Thunderbird, it is empty. However, after saving and opening it with Acrobat Reader, there is a message that the file is corrupted or poorly decoded.

The problem started occurring a few days ago.
