Thunderbird Community Forum

I have 4 different gmail accounts that I use thunderbird to manage, along with local folders. Starting today, I cannot send messages. I get a dialog box with no error codes, underneath is another dialog box showing send progress with the eternal circle. Have rebooted, made sure each account has a unique SMTP server description. Worked fine until today. No updates that I know of.

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

So many topics where links are broken and instructions (no longer) apply. Can anyone please help?

Thunderbird 115.12 esr on OSX is told (or should be told) to show all received messages as plain text only, and only send email as plain text.

The font, size, line width/length, and line height of print, folders list, message list, and message text needs changing.

I wish to have everything (print, folders list, message list, and message text) to always be Atkinson Hyperlegible, 12 points, 1.2 line height.

I wish received and sent messages to show on screen with a line length of 100 characters.

I wish printed emails to fill the page width, so no cap at 100 characters.

How do I do this? Thank you for helping a vision impaired !

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

I installed "cardbook" (from gitlab) and wanted to print the address list, entry for entry. How do I do that? This is not a generic TBD question. but perhaps somebody knows ...

Is there any reason, other than a bug, for the badge on the T-bird icon to remain even after an email was read? One email came in, and then the number "1" appeared on a badge on the T-bird icon in the taskbar. It is still there minutes after the last unread email was read. Is this a known problem with 115, or is there something else going on that I just do not already understand? Or is this something about Windows that could be addressed? I am a new T-bird user, on 115, POP, and a Windows 11 computer.

Steps to reproduce:

Open settings > general > updates area. Select "new functions and changes" link. There click on "file a bug in Bugzilla".

Actual results:

A white page opens. Maybe it still tries to load (see screenshot).

Expected result:

The bugzilla page should load.

I already filed a bug in bugzilla but it was said that it is a network issue but bugzilla does load on the same device.

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?

i am moving my accounts from outlook 2007 to Tb slowly doing one account at a time, making sure it all works, then moving on the the next account, i have already moved my hotmail.com & outlook.com emails accounts to TB successfully and all the inbox, sent and draft emails also went to TB with ease.

I now have 2 bigpond accounts i want to move to TB from outlook 2007, i am only going to move one at a time and once one is fully working , ill move the other one. So now i am trying to move one of my bigpond.com email accounts to TB, the account moved over ok, but its not bringing over any of my inbox, sent, draft, or other folders with it at all.

the bigpond account in TB works for new messages in and out, but none of my emails previous and older emails from outlook came with it. i have removed the account twice and still same issue. there was a warning or something that popped up during the first time i tried this with bringing the bigpond over to TB, cant remember what it said, but something along the lines of bigpond isnt trusted or veryifed certificate. i cant really recall. but maybe that is why. i copied the same settings from outlook 2007 to TB, i even tried setting them to pop for one try and them imap the next try, i still dont know.

is there a way to find the log warning message any where on TB as to what happen during the first try of adding the bipond account, maybe that will help you guys narrow down the issue. As that warning does not come up any more when i remove and try to add the account again, it just happened the first time. i though if hotmail can work easily ( being so old ) then bigpond should definitely have no issues. maybe its a pop or Imap issue, i dont know ???

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!
