How can I stop Thunderbird from displaying its own advertising/donation page on my browser when I open Thunderbird? It opens this page on my default browser, no matter which is chosen: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/128.0/whatsnew/?locale=en-US&version=128.6.1&channel=esr&oldversion=102.8.0 If the browser is not open, it will open it.

This is the result of trying to keep Thunderbird from automatically upgrading. In newer versions, the option to choose not to upgrade has digressed from difficult to not available. It did such an upgrade, so I de-installed and reinstalled my original version, only to have this issue.

I was very satisfied with my old version AND see no need for new any of the "features" or look. And, especially, once such a setting is made, don't want Thunderbird, or any other application or app, changing it back. This is a violation of privacy at best.

Worse yet, Thunderbird is attempting to penalize the customer for making a choice on their own computer by infecting the machine with nuisanceware.

Am getting this message along with a recurring download of a specific email (keeps coming back even after deletion) that does not allow any other new messages to be downloaded. I do see new emails on my phone but will not read into Thunderbird??

Error: "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

Tried: Troubleshooting, closing Thunberbird and reopening, rebooting windows system, compacting, etc. to no avail....

why is everything going to trash in thunderer but not in Comcast.net email what do i do o i eed to reinstall it and uninstall it

can not  do restore point

Hello There was a problem with auto renewal with my domain registrar, adotname, and the domain failed to renew and became inactive.

My host is Hostgator. the pointers were turned from HostGator back to adotname and DNS records were deleted.

I succeeded in renewing the domain but the tbird email is not working, prolly due to DNS issues. I have no idea how to reconstruct DNS in Adotname and their communications are 'iffy'. If anyone can help on this issue I'd appreciate it. Please contact me through an alternative site until tbird is repaired; vox80@protonmail.com Thank you Norm Norton

When creating a previously deleted account <redacted>@mail.ru I get an error: Incoming mail server already exists. Sinserely, Kosta Lozovsky <redacted>@gmail.com +7 <redacted>

Note, please don't post personal details in support requests.

My filters seem to work for emails received but not for ones I've sent. I use the rule "From, To, CC or BCC" combined with a persons email name (i.e. preceding the @ sign) and while From works the To doesn't and remain in my sent folder. Periodically I have to use "Run Filters on Folder" or "Run Now" from within the Sent folder to move everything to their respective folders. Do I have to have a separate rule just for "To"?

I did have a version of Tbird on a laptop some couple of years back, maybe that is the confusion? Anyway was trying to set up a new separate version on this desktop. Whatever, User Name and Pswd I try I cant get an Acc and use the prog. All seems so hard and I'm old and unwell to boot thanks if you can get me sorted

I started using Thunderbird a few weeks ago. The first problem I had was importing my address book (contacts list) from Outlook. I needed help because Thunderbird would not import the CSV file created by exporting my Outlook address book. It was necessary to re-organize the columns to match Thunderbird's layout - what a pain. Next, I created nine group addresses using Thunderbird's tools. I successfully tested at least one of the groups by sending a test message to the group. A few weeks later (now) I needed to add new members to a group, but found the group had no members. All of my nine groups exist, but have no members. Is there anything I might have done to empty all of the group addresses? I'm more than frustrated trying to learn how to use Thunderbird.

Thank you, Stephen Thompson

Hello. I have a strange problem. I have the latest Beta version with an IMAP account running fine. I need to add a second POP account. When I go through the motions of New Account > Email, the 'Account Hub' box appears were I can enter the name of the account and the email address. When I click Continue, I get two green ticks and it says Looking Up Configuration then it changes to a spinning blue circle. This stays like this indefinitely. I click the escape key to close the window.

Then if I go back to the New Account > Email procedure, it takes me back to the same box with the spinning blue circle and I can't start the process again. I have to restart Thunderbird to try again, but it still won't work. I have tried starting in Troubleshooting mode and disabling add ons but like the blue circle I am going in circles.

I have two computers and on the other one I have the original Release version. This adds the second POP account with no problem.

I am on Windows 11. Can anyone suggest something to try?

Good morning I have a problem with emails on thunderbird. Often they seem blocked in the system or fail to send. In addition all my emails are on the thunderbird and would like to remove all the aol mails but cannot find out how to do this?

There is also an aol pop up that comes up on the screen that cannot be deleted or filled in and i have to keep restartingthe computer to get rid of it

Can you help please?

Hi, My Thunderbird email has stopped downloading emails from my server. I click to download emails, get a message saying "downloading 1 of 25" but no progression from here onwards. No messages are downloaded. I have made no changes to the settings and it has been working well for many years. wifi is connected.

Thank you for help to restore this.

You may need to convert PST files to other formats to access, share, back up, or migrate your Outlook data more flexibly and securely. PST files are only supported by Microsoft Outlook—so if you're switching to another email client (like Thunderbird or Apple Mail), moving to a cloud-based platform (like Gmail or Office 365), or simply want a portable, readable backup (like PDF), converting the PST file becomes essential.

Hello,

I have noticed a difference in behavior (for some time now, but I haven't noted exactly which version: first half of the year) in the alert for tasks that are “oudated” but not “completed.”

On ESR, an outdated task continues to sound at the launch or from time to time. On release, an outdated task no longer sounds (it remains green in the list, but that's all). And we are no longer notified if we don't go and check.

I don't know if this behavior is intentional or if it's a bug, but personally I switched to ESR because it's too problematic for me to no longer have alerts on overdue tasks.

Please let me know what you think...

[To reproduce: create a task with a start time 5 minutes before your test, no end date, and a reminder 0 minute before].

How do I restore emails from an email backup (that is NOT a backed-up profile zip file) that has been saved using ImportExportToolsNG? I used ImportExportTools NG to create an email backup. The backup is in the forms of files in a set of folders (calendar-data, crashes, datareporting, extensions etc.). It is not in the form of a zip file.

I keep getting the error "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." when I try to get my messages, or delete them.

I have tried: Restarting TB Shutting off my anitvirus and restarting TB Rebooting the computer

This started sometime yesterday (7/6) morning, at a time when I was not doing anything on my computer. Or at least that is the last mail that downloaded successfully I am using release 140esr (64 bit) supposedly released this morning.

Hello {Mozilla} World! I want to transfer my emails, with attachments, from g-mail into TB Local Folder. I thought doing this first would be my best bet before migrating to a personalised email address.

Brief History: I installed TB, with the Default Profile using a g-mail address. The g-mail Server is set to never delete Emails. The Default Profile is set to synchronise so that all data is, supposedly, downloaded onto my computer.

Email Attachments have not, fully, downloaded even though individual Email Sizes appear to include Attachments. I have to open an Email and then open an Attachment before the Attachment will even begin to download.

Current Situation: I do not want to have to open 8K+ emails, even after culling junk etcetera, on a case by case basis. I do not want to have to go all Anakin Skywalker on the sandpeople @ g-mail.

I know how to get info from Settings and Account Settings. Please tell me what you require me to go fetch.

Thank you! Brian.
