Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

I installed a new hard drive and reloaded my win11.Before I did this I followed the instructions to save my email. after all was done i tried to follow the instructions to restore my email. Am not sure what happened but it looks like I have lost all of my email. any suggestions or places to go for help Roger

The second line (under the sender) of my inbox items is sometimes highlighted blue (preferable) but not always. How do I set them all to blue? The all black entries are more difficult to read.

When I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I thought I copied my profile folder from one computer to the other and then edited the profile.ini folder to use my old profile. That apparently doesn't work anymore. So, I uninstalled Thunderbird and restarted my computer. Reinstalled Thunderbird thinking I would have a fresh install. No, my old profile and edited profile.ini file are still there. How do I get rid of the changes that I made and transfer Thunderbird the correct way? TIA

hello i a just updated Thunderbird and did not know it would update to this 128.0esr 64 bit. I do not like this new one but if i try to go back it says i need to make a new profile i do not want to do it for fer of losing everything. Bu t my question on when i got to my in box and where it say correspondence I now see < the side ways arrow and it give the email how do i stop that what do i do to remove the < and the email next to it . i will send a screen shot as to what i mean I sure wish i could go back to115 or what ever i had before wit out losing everything and creating a whole new profile see image below

Every time I launch Thunderbird I get a request to enter my PW for my Outlook365.com account. Upon entering the correct PW (I verified the PW by loging into my Outlook365 account) I get the responce that the Login Failed.

This issue never ends...

What is happening here? Frankly, I think your app is faulty...although I can get around this nuisance but I'm just about ready to remove Thunderbird permenantely.

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

Thunderbird (Windows) shows option to sort mail by size, but it is greyed out so unable to sort this way. PFA image.

Can anyone explain how to make this work?

P.S. the purpose is to delete messages occupying the mailbox unnecessarily by going through them in the order of decreasing size. If there is another way to do this, that should also be fine.

I received an email where I am part of a "grouped email" that the sender created. How do I expand the group email to see the other email addresses included in the group?

Compact folders: caused a saved draft email to disappear. Closing and re-opening Thunderbird resolves this. Suggest the help document https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/compacting-folders-potential-complications be updated to advise this solution (before the user raises an issue). How does this message get to someone who can action this?

How do I reply to an email when i have selected it in the inbox and I can read the email in the preview window? As far as I can tell there is no reply button anywhere. I did double click on the message and suddenly about 30 tabs opened up with each tab having a reply button, which is very nice if I wanted to answer all 30 replies individually. Now I have to open every email to reply and close 20-60 tabs just to reply, which I won't put up with just because of the nuisance bur for sure because of arthritis.

Note: Someone recommended thunderbird to me as very useful but without a reply button in the inbox this is not really a usefull email program. This seems like a minimum common sense basic email function. If you are going to force people to double click on an email in order to reply, it would common sense to only open up that email and not all 30-60 other emails in the string as one will want to reply to the latest email and not to all other emails in the string. If people want to open up all the emails (I can't think that are very many people that want that), make that option a triple click. Right now I have to do an extra click for a reply (compared to any other email software I have ever used) and I have to close 20-60 tabs just to reply to the latest email message, this makes thunderbird a waste of time. I can't imagine I am the only one that considers these two issues basic common sense in email software. Maybe most people just delete thunderbird as I was planning on doing without commenting.

When tbird opens the inbox, or after I have deleted an email - it opens the 'current' email. I would like to set it up so that it does not open the email ... until I take some action that would cause that. Specifically, I want the ability to delete or mark as spam ... before the email has ever been opened.

 Is this possible?  What area of the settings do I need to check?
