I couldn't open links in emails. I tried all the "solutions". None worked. I then went to SETTINGS\GENERAL scroll down to Files & Attachments. Under Actions, click the one next to HTTP, then USE OTHER. It said there were no apps for this. I clicked the left gray bar on the bottom below No applications, searched for Chrome and double clicked it. I did the same for HTTPS. everything works now.

Trying to setup a new mail account in Thunderbird, it finds the configuration in Mozilla ISP database (POP3) but does accept the password. Yet I can setup OK Yahoo Mail with same address and password

Dear Thunderbird team and community,

long term user here, thanks a lot for your awesome software, absolute essential live-saver.

A few days ago, I did the update to 128.1.0esr (64-Bit) from 115 on win11. Very smooth transition, no issues with my 4 accounts, calendars etc. Great experience.

However, since the update, QuickSearch Ctrl-Shift-K filter that did instanteaneous filters on my 25k mailfolders came to griniding halt.

What happend: - Type a search term with filters on 'subject', 'from' 'to'activate freezes the app for many wall-clock seconds (5-10). Switching to another app and switching back gives me a Windows (Thunderbird not Responsive) in the title bar of the main window during that time.

What I expected: - almost instantaneus filter without noticable lag

What I tried: - deactivate, then uninstall expression search addon incompatible with 128 - restart in Troubleshoot mode with all addons disabled - reboot OS (Win11) several times - searched forums and stackoverflow for similar issues using different search term approaches and combinations

Thank you very much for any pointers how i could resolve the issue. Thanks again for your awesome product!

Jakob

Hy ! The version of TB y run is 128.1.0esr (32 bits) under Windows 10. I am a user since 2005. Under "disk space in "local folders", I have (translated) " never delete messages"

While seaching old messages, I just discovered that, although theses messages appear in the list of messages of local folders, there is a lot of theses local folders where, when I click on a message in the list, a window opens whith an empty content.

This does not occur the same way for all the folders : for example, in one of them, the messages dated 2005 do not open (they appear in an empty window), while messages dated 2006 and earlier open as usual. Other example, in another folder, containing messages dated 2008 to 2010, not any opens in another way than an empty window.

I have tried to ask my question in the mozilla forum the 15 th august, but no answer. That is why I try on this site. I have translated here the question I posted on the mozilla forum in French, my native langage, and I hope it will be understandable ...

==> Do you have an idea of why this happens and what I should do see again the content of these precious old messages ( my genealogy and others)

Best regards, GV, Cannes, France

Just Updated to Thunderbird 128.1: Now I Cannot Sort/Move Recipients from TO: to CC: / BCC: and Back on A-Previous Sent (Now New to-be Updated) New Email.... Can I Rollback to Previous 128.0 Version????

Have removed all accounts, have removed all passwords. Have removed all Thunderbird information from laptop. Re downloaded Thunderbird (latest version). Select Thunderbird app. Page 'set up existing email account’ appears. enter my name enter email account no password entered settings found by probing given server. ( screen shot 1)

select done

Yellow message (screen shot 2)

I cannot see what is wrong here.

If it is because I have to renew password. I do not know how to do this.

Anyone help please. This has been going on for many many days now.

With the latest Thunderbird update (128.1.0esr) I am seeing frequent "not responding" situations. It eventually does come back. Am I doing something wrong? I am on a PC running Windows 10.

Thunder bird on windows (115.10.1) freezes with a not responding message when a few delete messages are made. Earlier it used to scroll to some random location on the screen. now it freezes for a long while. Is this a bug to be fixed or something wrong at my end?

thanks Raman

Some nice person on this thread already offered useful help in restoring my Thunderbird program, and I appreciate that. My computer crashed in such a way that it had to be restored from my cloud back-up but that did not restore Thunderbird. After much work by my computer guy, the person who built my machine, I can now receive and send e-mails. However, my address book data and the very existence of an address book are still missing. While watching my friend work through Team Viewer I have seen parts of that data but he seems not yet to have found a way to attach it to my program. Also missing is the search function by which one can look for a word in an e-mail address or message.

Tunderbird fails to open at a early stage (loading the default inbox) and is then unresponsive. How can I extract messages, pesumably from the profile, please. Widows 11.

Afternoon to all, Please may I have some help? Years ago I had on my old laptop Mozilla that my husband (sadly passed away) had installed for me. I wish to have Mozilla again, but I can't seem to get it on new tablet/phone as is says *I already have an account* I can get no further and stuck as dont remember my password etc...HELP PLEASE. Thank you very much for any help. Pam

Hi, I am closing down an old email address because they are now charging me for it. I was advised to use Thunderbird so I signed up and am now receiving emails to thunderbird from my xtra.co.nz email address. However, it hasn't brought over my saved folders from my xtra.co.nz app. Someone suggested I need to change to imap, but do not know where to find this and not sure if I do it in Thunderbird or the xtra mail app or both. Looking for instructions on on how I can bring my existing folders from my xtra.co.nz mail into Thunderbird?

I use Thunderbird on my iMac Sonoma 14.6 with the M1-Chip I mistyped an adress while writing an E-Mail and sent the Mail. Returned realized the Mistake and corrected the adress. ›ow, every time I want to write a Mail to the recepient I am offered both adresses. I Allready deleted the wrong spelling from my Contacts-App, but still ... I tried "search adress", but there I do find only the correct one.

What can I do to delete the adress I don't want to confuse me any longer? Thank you for your help!

I am using Thunderbird (ver. 128.1.0esr) as my email client. I have two Internet Service providers: Xfinity(Comcast) and AT&T. I can't send emails when using AT&T but can when using Xfinity. Can receive emails OK on both. Why is this?

Hi,

   I've used Thunderbird on Linux for about 20 years and it has worked flawlessly connecting to my ISP mail for both sending and receiving messages. About 2 weeks ago I tried to send a mail and got an internal error back from the ISP SMTP  server that the message was being blocked as possible spam. POP continued to work fine.

I tried renaming my local .thunderbird directory and downloading the latest version of Thunderbird to try a fresh install. It behaved exactly the same way.

   The frustrating thing is that KMail, an alternate Linux mailer works fine with the exact settings that fail on Thunderbird. I can also send mail from my phone when connected to the same ISP wifi as the Linux machine. 
   I am not sending out messages to large groups of recipients. It will fail (but work in Kmail   and K9Mail on Android) with a trivial test message to myself. 

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I like Thunderbird but can't use it if I can never send mail.

Thanks!

I am a 20-year (give or take) user of Thunderbird, and it is getting almost unusable.

I am hopeful someone can help.

A lot of context....

My principal account is at Comcast (POP3; normal password), but a consulting gig has caused me to add a Outlook account (POP3; OAuth2). And I think that (along with Thunderbird updates within the past year) are the cause of my issues. And the only circumvention I have found is restarting. And yes, I have a large, multi-decade collection of e-mails in about 100 local folders.

Issues that appear intermittently:

1) Pauses (for instance, while composing e-mails) lasting up to 15 seconds where Thunderbird is unresponsive to keystrokes or other UI gestures. 2) Sometimes there are permanent "(Not responding)" lockups. Also there are times where the address book is inaccessible until Thunderbird is closed and restarted. Restarting is also the frequent cure for the persistent authentication issues. 3) Inability to access address book implicitly or via menu item 4) On start-up, generally both accounts get authenticated, but I keep getting nags to enter the Outlook password - If I ignore the nag, it pops up every couple of minutes. If I enter the password incorrectly, it tells me, but if I enter it correctly the login screen goes away, but login screen reappears within a few minutes. 5) Likely in conjunction with (4) above, I intermittently cannot send e-mails outbound to the Comcast account, with Tbird complaining about authentication; reentering the Comcast password does not help until I restart. 6) If (5) above happens, when I restart Tbird, I have to reenter Comcast passwords, even though I always select "remember password" 7) nstmp folders keep getting created.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
