Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi,

I recently came across the Thunderbird versions are being mentioned as "esr".

In 115.0 version, I see "esr" is added from the 115.10.2esr to 115.14.0esr, the latest version. I also do not see any change in the installers provided. I would like to understand what is the difference between the previous versions and the versions with "esr"?

In 128.0 version, I can see only 128.0.1esr and 128.1.0esr. Is there no normal updates? Now only esr is supproted?

I had version 115.0 installed but I was able to upgrade to 128.1.0esr without any issue. Is this supported?

Regards, Asif

Thunderbird 115.1.8 (most recent), Windows 10

This is going to drive me awy from Thunderbird - at random, it refreshes and opens all folders when connecting to IMAP accounts, leaving all folders open. Screenshop attached of part of folder tree - it happens to each and every sub-folder in the account(s). Sometimes it's just on one IMAP account that I have defined, sometimes more than one. Some points that might help (or not):

• The status line says that it is downloading messages, even though I've told it to only download headers
• This happens on more than one installation of Thunderbird on different machines (home deskside and laptop), all on Windows 10. I don't have access to Linux but might try it on Linux on a Chromebook. I've avoided Windows11 so far.
• no way to reproduce this on demand; just random
• Persists at random after a clean installation of TBird with completely new profiles
• Takes ages to close all folders - I think I've seen elsewhere that an option to collapse all folders by, for example, a right-click on the top-level folder and an option in the context menu, would be very useful
• happens to different IMAP hosts - my personal accounts are on UK2, but also affect gmail and IONOS-hosted accounts
• is an issue with many previous versions - certainly since Supernova was released, maybe earlier

Much as I like the TBird interface, I can't continue to live with this - I think it's back to Outlook (I have a 365 account so thiis is the full-fat Outlook) or maybe invest in an emClient license, where their limited free version seems robust and has a decent interface. Might also look at the email client in the Vivaldi browser.

Any advice that might help me stay on TBird would be welcome. Thank you

It was barely noticable, but SERVER NAME in Server Settings was the same for both accounts. These were Yahoo IMAP accounts. Each account had its own folder in Users / ....... / ImapMail, but both accounts were pointing to one folder. Corrected this in the SERVER NAME field in Server Settings (see image)

"SHOULD" solve the issue .......... particulary it is THE ONLY item I can find that was not normal.

I've Thunderbird 115.13.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 and I have my email which is configured properly automatically by Thunderbird for IMAP and SMTP servers from Microsoft outlook office 365.

However, now it has problem for both IMAP and SMTP (I can authenticate with OAuth2 in a login page inside Thunderbird without issue).

The issue is:

``` The mail server for account xxx@yyy responded: User is authenticated but not connected ```

My email belongs to an organisation and I don't have admin rights to change anything to authentication.

Any helps would be appreciated for that issue.

Hi

I cannot setup my email:(

I have put in the details as attached images.

The auto config did not work either.

The error I get is, "could not log on, maybe a configuration, email or password issue" which is completely useless

Please help to solve this problem

Hello. Last week I changed my password (using Mozilla Firefox) and since then I have not been able to log in to my email via Thunderbird. The password is definitely correct. When I log in via the Mozilla browser, there is no problem. Thank you. Slawek

When I'm composing a New Message and I press ENTER to start a new line, the text reverts to the smallest size, but the option to make the text larger is greyed out. So I'm unable to make the text larger. To resolve this I usually copy the previous line and the line that I want to add into a Notepad file, then paste it back into the new message.

See Image.

Thanks, SweetTasha

A few times now I've had a batch of incoming e-mails where the date, sender, header information are all there but the body of the e-mail shows: FXCG9w89iTyF8D70T5uihi9D instead of the message. I don't know what this means or why it happens. Can you explain and help me find a solution?

I changed my Comcast password, and TB won't work and asks me for the new password. I give it my new password, but it doesn't work.

Does Comcast use the same password for my online account as my main email, or are they different?

How can I fix this problem?

PS - I can log on and receive email to me but I can't send email - even to myself. It asks for the password but it doesn't work.

Added - I tried to install TB on a new computer. All I used to have to do is enter my email address and password and it would set it up. Now it says that is has to search for my XFinity ID (it shows my house address), but it can't find my Xfinity ID. Same problem?

Something happened, and I lost many of the mailboxes in my Joshua Calev account. The Joshua Calev 1.jpg shows how my listing looks now, and Joshua Calev 2.jpg shows how it used to look. Where can I find those missing files (I do have a backup) to restore them? I can't just backup my whole Thunderbird as I'm using 4 different accounts (that's what I love about Thunderbird) and that would overwrite the latest emails I received in my other accounts.

I am using Thunderbird Beta 130.0b1 (64-bit).

Thank you for any help you can offer.

After Thunderbird update on 8/12/24, I can no longer open PDF attachements. The attachements are there, they simply cannot be opened. I can save the same PDF files to Downloads etc, so the file is there. Also cannot open any PDF file received previous to this date, that I could open before the update.

Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Recently, I upgraded my TB to 128.0.1esr (64 bit). After the upgrading, I encountered the following problems. (I am using IMAP to communicate with the email accounts. )

1) For some new email in the inbox, the email content could not be show, ie the email body is blank.

2) Those read email but still kept in inbox and other folders were not downloaded.

Please advise how to fix the problems.

Thousand Thanks cheers, Karl

I'm downloading Thunderbird on a laptop, and plan to replace its profile folder with the one from my desktop. I know how to do this. The problem is that the profile folder downloaded with Thunderbird is "unavailable" and I can't access it at all.

Got a new pc, loaded Thunderbird on it, and used Thunderbird export/import tool to move everything over; seemed to work fine.... EXCEPT now all my incoming mail automatically gets put in junk folder. I cannot locate any setting that should be causing this. I get quite a lot of different mail in a day, average about 40 and can't find anything online to help me figure out what to do. Should be a simple thing hopefully.

I donated $20 and tried to download. No instructions were given after that. I could not find Thunderbird on my computer. It isn't there. There's no place I can go to get help. Stan

I have been using TBird for many years, but only for email. I have about 15,000 emails and an 18 GB profile. If I start using TB for calendar events and tasks, will that substantially increase the profile size and does that become an unwieldy folder to maintain in terms of errors occurring with time, and in terms of transferring it to a second PC?
