Hello! I'm trying to subscribe to the calendar at this link: webcal://github.com/othyn/go-calendar/releases/latest/download/gocal__community_day.ics

But when I add the calendar to Thunderbird using New Calendar... > On The Network, it resolves that URL to this very long different URL: https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/580172601/b8d41b00-ad34-4a4f-937b-55ab6a554213?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=releaseassetproduction%2F20240625%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240625T114538Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=10a1c88bd26110f81b16dd6f839ce758de482cc6c450135e518550bb3eed5840&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&key_id=0&repo_id=580172601&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Dgocal__pokemon_spotlight_hour.ics&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

The resulting calendar then works for one day but then disables itself and cannot be re-enabled (if I try to enable the calendar, it immediately disables itself again). I think this is happening because the calendar at the webcal link updates to a new file every day, so the specific link that Thunderbird resolves to becomes invalid on a daily basis. Other calendar applications that I use (like the iOS calendar app and the web interface for mailbox.org) do not resolve the link (they just leave it as webcal://github.com/othyn/go-calendar/releases/latest/download/gocal__community_day.ics) and they work fine, which is why I think the link resolution is causing the issue.

Is there a way to get this type of webcal link to work with Thunderbird?

I also filed a bug report here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1906077

Tell me how I can continue to use thunderbird with the above account and also Denis.Clarke.hotmail.com after September 18. I have 4 individual historic E mail accounts and thunderbird joins them together. What do you need to do? To deal with threat below.

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Hi, I've just had an email from Microsoft saying :-

Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.

Is there a step by step tutorial on how to do this?

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird for many years without any issues. I recently bought a laptop running Windows 11. On this machine, I have two accounts that cannot send emails via SMTP. What is puzzling is that I can retrieve emails through IMAP without any problems.

For another account I had to use STARTTLS to get it working. But on my Windows 10 machine, the same account is sending emails correctly with SSL/TLS.

Thunderbird is allowed through the Windows firewall and is on the antivirus whitelist.

I recently fixed an issue (connecting to Gmail) by allowing cookies, so it might be a simple fix like that.

Could someone help me, please?

Many thanks!

Having followed the instructions at https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d to update the security settings on my outlook/hotmail email accounts Thunderbird no longer reliably saves/enters the passwords. The password is saved in settings as that is where I copy it from to enter manually but why is Thunderbird not doing the entry as previously. It is not every log in and not always the same account, but regularly one or the other will come up with "enter your credentials" Also occasionally the credentials screen will flash on screen and then disappear, not necessarily for the account I am using at the time but one of the others. Any help appreciated Thanks Paul

When I am trying to access emails, a popup says to get certificate= imap.aussiebroadband.com.au:993 and confirm security exception. It will not allow emails to download

I recently installed Thunderbird on my mac. It seems to work well, except that it will not show my Archive folder (simply named "Archive") in the list of folders. I can see from my mail provider's web app that it is there and has my messages in it, and if I use search in thunderbird I can find messages in the Archive folder, but the Archive folder is completely missing from the list of folders. (I can see other folders, just not Archive.)

I did find how I can customize what folders Thunderbird will put Archived messages in, but that's not what I'm looking for. What I want is to be able to see the already existing folder with messages archived by other clients, e.g. the provider's web app.

keep getting "Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com failed." I've tried everything thru Mozilla to change passwords and tried every password possible. It's been 2 weeks no access to my emails thru Thunderbird. I'm at a loss. what can I do to get into my Thunderbird account without dumpig it all to start over?

I converted my Outlook .pst file to an mbox file using SysTools PST converter When I try to import it into Thunderbird, it permits me to import only a .zip file from a previous backup, or a calendar file, or an address file. I need it to import the whole thing, especially the emails. How?

I've had Thunderbird mail for some years but I haven't been using this computer for about 18 months. (Mac High Sierra). MacBook Pro 17-inch mid 2010 2.66 Ghz Intel core i7. 8 gb memory

I came to open Thunderbird mail today. It was all set up as before. The Yahoo accounts were fine, and Cloud. But when I opened Google it gave me: "Authorization Error. Error 400: invalid_request You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure. You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules."

I went to Google and was able op open google mail fine as a standalone M-Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox)

How can I incorporate gmail into Thunderbird.?

This has happened to me on several occasions but today I was fed up with it and came here.

I completed an important message in Thunderbird (latest Windows desktop version) and saved the draft so I could read it over with the Darling Bride before sending it. When I opened the draft to go over it with her, the draft literally stopped in the middle of a word - and nothing after that had been saved!

Several carefully-worded paragraphs had simply vanished, even though I saved the draft when the message was complete. WHY is Thunderbird not saving entire messages when I finish them and hit SAVE??? One can imagine my anger and frustration of trying to recall, word for word, what I had written so I can rewrite it (and it's never as good as the original). I like the idea of Thunderbird and not using the big data-mining email apps out there... but this is ridiculous!

Hi,

I've downloaded T-bird on two computers- a windows platform and a mac. It works find on the windows platform, but on the mac, while it appears to have populated from my email account (IMAP) with no issues, the search feature always returns nothing. On the windows computer, it works fine.

If relevant, it's open on both computers at the same time, but that doesn't seem to cause any issues, as they're pulling from a web-based email account.

Any ideas about how to make the search feature work on the mac? I search for words or names that I know are there, but the results are always empty. It's important, and I need to get it up and running quickly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I added this https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/added.atom and in Thunderbird I do not see the summary tag data :(

Is it expected?

Hello, i try to customise the thunderbird mail colors, but can't find any settings to that. I want to change the colors for "marked as -> unread" messages and the color for new received messages. Can anyone tell me how to adjust this? I tried to add the "userChrome.css" file in the self created folder "chrome" in my profile directory, but nothing changed. Can someone help me? I use Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS version and the thunderbird version 115.6.0.

I have a <something> that creates a daily sunrise and sunset entry time in my diary. It isn't an addon as far as I can see. It's not a prewritten list, but seems to create its entries dynamically when I first look ahead to a date- filling all the days with the correct sunrise and sunset times. The normal reoccurring event options don't appear when I delete one. i.e. doesn't offer me the option to delete all the events. I have no idea what I did to set this up ( it must have seemed a good idea at a time). I can not see any subscription that would account for it. I've checked all my accounts on my devices. Thunderbird/Betterbird on my main PCs and Outlook.com on my iPhone just in case I brought it in to TB that way ( which seems unlikely). Nothing. Clearly something is working away generating new sunrise and sunset times to display in TB. But I can't find any way to kill it off. I must have found a sunrise/sunset app that does this, but I have no idea how or where. Any suggestions. Either where it might be hiding in TB or where I can track it down and look for instructions.

Edit: Is there any kind of logfile that tracks such events being created?

Hi,

I repaired my inbox yesterday. I had many messages still in that inbox but after the repair I only see 5 messages. I looked in the directory my profile points to for my email and can see a large Inbox file - but I also see a very small Inbox.msf file. It is almost like the process of rebuilding is pointing to another Inbox file. See the picture attached.

I even tried to take a previous copy of the Inbox.msf file from a backup (it was 800 kb). I deleted the old Inbox.msf file and replaced with the larger 800 kb file. When I opened Thunderbird, it started to something: "Building summary file for inbox" and about a minute later those same 5 emails show - instead of the full Inbox I would have expected.

Is there anyway I can re-associate the Inbox.msf file process rebuild/repair to the correct Inbox file (the one that is 737 meg in this case)? I sure would like to get my inbox messages back (and file them away i/o leaving them there vulnerable to this kind of problem in the future).

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

Outlook email accounts are duplicating and asking for passwords which are in the password manager. T/B does not accept the entered password. Gmail accounts are also duplicating and adding weird passwords. Just started last week. Probably has something to do with the new Microsoft Authorizarion rules. It is a mess. I have been a lifetimme used if Mozilla and Thunderbird.
