Please don't advise me to go to Tools - Options - Composition - General. When I go to Tools, I see none of those choices. Thank you!!!

Lightning had the ability to search the entire calendar for an event, sadly, this new iteration of the calendar built into Thunderbird 128.0.1esr doesn't support anything but today or later events.

Most of the time I use the calendar to search for a previous event (when I was previously somewhere). This is very important and an oversight on the part of who thought the search from now until the end of time was all anyone would need.

Can the functionality be returned to search every event and not just from today onward?

Good day. i have the 115.13.0 (64-bit) version of Thunderbird installed on a Windows 10 computer. It keeps crashing whenever i try to save an attachment from an email or include an attachment to an email. Basically, whenever the dialog box opens to save an attachment or select a file to attach, Thunderbird crashes.

i had a similar issue with Firefox. That problem went away when i uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). However the problem with Thunderbird persists.

Here are the last six Crash Reports IDs: bp-53c587b1-27a7-4db5-8e2b-225040240806 8/6/2024, 2:00 PM bp-903b1358-8fd4-43fe-af2c-088d20240806 8/6/2024, 1:52 PM bp-392b62dd-6b13-4df0-b0e5-2b6dc0240803 8/2/2024, 6:32 PM bp-1ab3a2d4-4335-40a7-a2f4-e54a80240726 7/26/2024, 11:55 AM bp-f5a69dc1-ca42-4bd3-b8a4-4e2820240715 7/14/2024, 7:24 PM bp-2c81780c-352e-4c95-820f-e73080240713 7/12/2024, 6:29 PM

Please advise

Thanks, franc

Whenever I open a new event, the "Notify Attendees" option is already checked. I want to be able to open a new event and NOT have that option already checked. How can I accomplish that?

I read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202.

When I click on 'Outgoing Server', then 'Edit', there isn't an 'OAuth2' option listed as an option in the drop-down list for Authentication Method.

I updated to the most recent Thunderbird, and the option is still not listed.

Please let me know what I need to do to set up OAuth.

Thank you

When I first opened Thunderbird (just a few weeks ago), I noticed that some Calendar Tasks were already set up by Thunderbird. (My standalone calendar is Efficient Reminder).

But I don't see options for REMINDERS - popups (preferably) and/or sounds. (The purpose of a calendar for me is to be reminded to do things.)

I searched for options in Thunderbird, and I looked on the information here, but can't find anything.

If I can I select a sound and/or popup to REMIND me, where can I find the option to set it?

I just installed the newest Thunderbird client on my Windows 11 PC but I am unable to add any email accounts to it. My Gmail account hangs forever checking the password and my custom domain account hangs forever after it says Password OK. Both have messages like the following on the status bar at the bottom of the screen:

"Mail for user@host@emaildomain: Sending login information"

Nothing else happens. It just sits on this forever. If I Cancel, my email addresses are not added to Thunderbird.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Even trying to set the servers manually does not fix the issue.

I accidentally deleted a POP account and I lost every folder that I had on that account, how can I recover it?

I tried with some recovery programs but it didn't work

How do I send emails using outlook? I tried using the Oauth2 and also closing and relogging into the account. Nothing seems to work.

I can receive emails but cannot send. See attached images.

Thanks!

I often face the problem that, while dragging/rearranging folders, I accidentally move a folder into another one. There is no confirm dialog, but the filter warning dialog opens and notifies me that filters are being updated.

Is there a way to abort the moving process at this stage? There is no cancel/abort button in the filter notification.

I used to have a spam folder and now with this new version can not find the spam folder sometimes I might get an email and it may go to to spam so I went to check and sent it to my email need help please

This evening, Thunderbird has updated to the new version (can't see where the version number is held, unfortunately). Whenever I try to download new emails, I now get the message "Error with account [email address]. Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop3.iomartcloud.com responded: Mate, the command must be one of CAPA, USER, PASS or QUIT." Mails are still accessible through the mail client on my phone and through webmail, just not through Thunderbird.

I cannot receive or send any emails. Server is not authenticating. This is a sudden fault. Thunderbird is updated to 128.0.1esr (64-bit). Opening Thunderbird shows message "Authentication failure while connecting to Thunderbird imap.gmail.com”.

What is the fix for this?

When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.

The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.

I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.

Is there any other way to recover my email?

I need to replace the 64-bit Thunderbird with a 32-bit version to sync with a 32-bit application. I have not been able to find a download site which does not require also downloading unknown add-ons. Is there one, or do I just trust my luck?

Po ostatniej aktualizacji program działa bardzo wolno. Bardzo długo wczytują się wiadomości wg filtrów (np. nieprzeczytane albo wg słów kluczowych). Bardzo proszę o pomoc

OK, this is really complicated, and involves trying to rescue an old Eudora account to Thunderbird. If anyone wants the whole gory story, please ask and I'll tell all. ( I used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner and Eudora Rescue.) But the simple question is: is it possible to import a Thunderbird profile created on a Mac into a Thunderbird program on a PC? Thanks for any help.
