Thunderbird Support Forum

There's an article that says we can change where attachments are stored by going to tools, options, attachments. However, I have no "options" under "tools." Thanks in advance.

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.

Hello, When sending a message from my gmail account within TB, I would like to automatically attach one of my other adresses as bcc: . How can I do that ?

As an alternative, is there a way to automatically copy the message in my sent folder in my gmail account to my local sent folder ? Using a filter perhaps , but I have been unable to create a filter that operates on the Sent folder.

Thank you, Alain Damlamian

I have a verizon.net email account at AOL. AOL now requires use of a one-time-use "app password" to sign in from Thunderbird. This does work but it seems like now I will have to go through this process (going to AOL web mail and requesting a new app password) every time I reboot my computer or restart Thunderbird. Is this true?

I have a notice in the bottom right of my Thunderbird screen stating 103mb of 110mb IMAP total (93%) has been used.

I presume there will be consequences should this reach 100%!

My mail server is showing no issues of quotas being reached.

Is this an issue that relates to Thunderbird quotas?

Can anyone advise how I can reduce the 103mb total that is being shown?

Many thanks in advance.

I have just altered my Hotmail settings in Thunderbird to take account of the Microsoft OAuth2 requirements. I can still send from Hotmail but cannot receive (download) incoming messages.

When I open Thunderbird, or check for email, I see the text "******@hotmail.com: Host contacted, sending login information......." at the bottom but no messages are downloaded, and eventually the text disappears (I know there are messages waiting as I can see them using the Outlook app)

My server settings are; Server type : POP Mail Server Server name: pop-mail.outlook.com Port: 995 User name: ******@hotmail.com Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2

I have tried restarting both my PC (Windows 10) and Thunderbird, but the problem persists. Help please!

I've been using Thunderbird for many years with no issues. I opened it today on my laptop and all my accounts, settings, emails, calendar items, etc. are gone. It's asking me to set up an account. I have years worth of saved emails from 4 different accounts and they are all gone. How can I get them back. I am using Windows 10.

I was getting warnings from my e-mail server that I was near the mailbox size limit, and Thunderbird displayed a percentage bar in the lower right corner. I've deleted a lot of large messages and want to see how far I am from the limit now, but now the bar isn't displayed. Is there a way to refresh this? Or is it a warning that's only pushed from the server?

(Unfortunately, my webmail site doesn't compute the size correctly and shows me at over 400%, so I can't see the actual size there until the server sends me another warning.)

I keep getting the attached error msg when trying to send an email. I've changed it to "Normal Password" as advised, but it's still the same. Any help would be appreciated. Regards norman

Thunderbird 115.12.0 inline image encoding does not work and neither Thunderbird nor any other email client can decode the images. I would not be concerned if the images were instead sent as attachments -- anything would be better than the situation right now. Here is what a the sent message looks like (truncated):

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I've configured an external gpg key for use in Thunderbird, but I'm unable to decrypt an encrypted message sent to myself via thunderbird. I've attached the error thunderbird gives me.

Sending a normal email, a signed email and an encrypted email works just fine. Verifying a signed email also works fine.

Extracting the GPG message, and attempting to manually decrypt it via gpg gives me the following error:

$ gpg --decrypt enc.txt gpg: encrypted with cv25519 key, ID 0xREDACTED, created 2020-01-01

     "REDACTED"

gpg: encrypted with cv25519 key, ID 0xREDACTED, created 2020-01-01

     "REDACTED"

gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d)

I followed the instructions here to setup my YubiKey OPGP w/ Thunderbird: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards#Configure_an_email_account_to_use_an_external_GnuPG_key

Now and then, when I press the Enter key, Thunderbird moves the current email message from Inbox to Trash instead of opening the message in a new tab.

I am using Version 115.11.1 (32-bit) on Windows 11.

I have various multi-members set up on TB. Most of the time, I use them just as they are, but on occasion, I would like see the members of the list displayed in the "TO" field of the email, so I can delete one or two of them from a specific email. Is there a way to do this?

In Windows Live Mail, for example, clicking on the name of the list would display the members. This doesn't work in TB. Is there a similar function?

The settings menu gives me the option to mark an email as junk and then either move it to the junk folder or delete it. Fair enough.

But once messages are in the junk folder, I am trying to find an easy way to THEN delete them without clicking on "delete selected messages" which then sends them on to the trash file, where they AGAIN need to be deleted.

Assuming there's currently no way to do this, would it be difficult to add "empty folder" option to the junk file? That would save an unnecessary step.

I don't like to delete them straight off because I might accidentally delete a message I want to keep, so I use the junk folder to give them a second chance as it were. But I'm trying to avoid the third chance.

I am unable to login into Gmail, nor Exchange 365 on Windows with OAuth2.

In the Google auth flow, clicking "Allow" to grant permissions to Thunderbird causes the page to hang and nothing happens.
