I am running Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64 Bit) on a Mint 22 OS ... & have spent most of the day yesterday & a couple hours today to find the solution to the SMALL FONT SIZE in the "Folders Panel" in Thunderbird" & have checked several threads of others having the SAME PROBLEM ...

• • I FOUND THE SOLUTION TODAY!!

• • i simply want to save a ton of people the grief that I went through to solve the SMALL FONT SIZE in the various panels in Thunderbird ...

SOLUTION: On the Top Right of the Thunderbird Screen ... CLICK ON THE THREE BARS ... and you will notice that The SIXTH ITEM DOWN IN THE DROP DOWN MENU ... IS "FONT" ... THIS is WHERE you solve your Font Size Problem!! Simply click on the (+) sign to increase the font or click on the (-) sign to decrease the font size!! Viola!! Problem Solved!!

I read where people were directed to the config file under settings and setting up a chrome file ... but you don't need ANY OF THAT ... you DO However need to make sure that in the config file that it is set to the default setting of (-1.0) if it isn't ... & all of us need to apologize to the developers for saying that this updated version of Thunderbird is bad programing ... Because It Isn't!! They gave us a SIMPLE MENU to fix the font size ... we just didn't know WHERE it was!!

Blessings ... I hope this helps a ton of people with the same problem that I had so you DON'T waste a bunch of time and/or stop using Thunderbird because it is the BEST Email Program Out There!!

For the past couple of months, every time I boot up my computer and launch Thunderbird I get the attached error messages for each of my email accounts (2 Hotmail and one Outlook)

Repeatedly clicking "retry" often results in success but sometimes I get the second message indicating the server has disconnected. Usually, after a few minutes things settle down, the messages come through and all is well but it is a nuisance. I would switch to using Outlook but it cannot send multiple emails which I periodically need to do and I don't want to encourage Microsoft's near monopoly of computer technology.

I have tried accepting coookies as advised elsewhere in here and tried turning on O Oath as my authentication method but this just got me another error message saying this authentication "was not supported on this platform" (whatever that means??) Anyway, I reverted to using "simple password" which does eventually work.

I looked at 2 factor authentication but that proved to be impossible to understand and, in any case, I rarely carry a 'phone with me and do not want to clutter my 'phone up with more apps. I use 2 factor authentication on a lot of my confidential accounts and none of these were as complicated to set up as this one and certainly did not invole scanning QR codes and installing special apps.

Will this bug be fixed by more updates to Thunderbird or is there some other way of solving this problem.

I have 5 email accounts we will call them A, B, C, D , E

Sometimes my A account doesn't want to connect, and it appears to just stall on that one account.

Is there a way to have the accounts download in a different order say start with D, then E, then B, A, C?

I know I can rearrange them in a different order on the left panel, but it still wants to download in the ABCDE order.

How might one be able do that?

Thanks

I'm trying to switch from Outlook to Tbird on Win10. I have my email hooked up. Can I use my Outlook Calendar and Contacts? How? I have a yellow message that says "All calendars are currently disabled. Enable an existing calendar . . . " I have no idea how to do this. Same problem importing Contacts. Is this because Tbird is made for Unix? I have version 128.1.1esr (64-bit). I use default directories when installing. Thanks for your help, Steve

Thunderbird was configured to send & receive via Cox /yahoo mail. Worked until recently but can no longer send or receive.

Please advise. Best Regards, Leigh Wax

I am running Tbird and I have numerous email addresses. Does my profile contain all those email addresses, pasworkds etc, or does each email address in TB contain a profile for that email address

I'm using the current version of Thunderbird with Windows 11. After changing some Thunderbird settings, I suddenly found that addresses no longer self-complete when I begin an address in an e-mail. The addresses are all there in the address book, but not "connecting" to my mail. Please advise what I need to do to get the addresses working again. Thank you!

TB 115.14.0, Win 10 22H2, desktop PC, POP3 from gmail...

I select one of my gmail accounts in TB and click Get Messages. It downloads one or a few emails from gmail and then suddenly the Windows hourglass appears and the banner bar at top of screen which says: "Inbox - (email account)@gmail.com - Mozilla Thunderbird" shows (Not Responding). After ~10-15 sec, downloading resumes normally and all messages accessible.

Happens with all 3 of my gmail accounts and all use same settings: Server type: POP Mail Server Server Name: pop.gmail.com port 995 Connectivity Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAUTH2

No TB add-ons installed, Windows Scanning is disabled in TB, running Windows Defender. Lots of free disk space, 16 GB RAM...

Tried TB troubleshooting but nothing found. Have run various Windows checks (eg, DISM and sfc) with no errors and problem continues.

Suggestions?

I need to create a recurring event in Thunderbird calendar, the event occurs every month on the 3rd last business day of the month. Is there a way to do this? Or, is there any plan to create such an event function?

I was working with Tools->Message Filters to add another domain name into the account's e-mail address line vi the Edit... button. I did something I am clueless as to what it was, and now ALL an this account's INBOX contents are in JUNK

• running a test send to this account, the incoming mail automatically goes into the JUNK folder.
• JUNK now contains all INBOX contents (going back to 2014) as well as messages manually tagged as junk/spam
• copying-pasting one or more Subject lines from JUNK to INBOX doesn't work
• all mail stays in JUNK and nothing stays in INBOX
• somehow it's as if I've made INBOX be a symbolic link to JUNK.
• this happens on all my machines:

-- Mac running Monterey 12.6.1 with Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) -- Mac running Monterey 12.7.6 with Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) -- Mac running Sonoma 14.4 with Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64 bit)

In this account's Tools->Message Filters, clicking Edit for SpamAssassinYes, and then not doing anything and simply clicking OK, a notifier window comes up stating:

Search Terms Invalid This filter cannot be saved because the search term "Junk Score Origin isn't" is invalid in the current context.

I've never intentionally edited the SpamAssassinYes Filter

HOW CAN I RESTORE INBOX TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY?

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for a while now, and while I generally like it, there is a huge problem: Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it doesn't retrieve any emails from either of the two accounts that I have connected to it. This happens maybe once a week or so, and it can take a few hours for me to notice, because it simply looks as if no new emails would be coming in - which is perfectly possible. But then someone tells me they sent me an email two hours ago, or I shut down the computer, and when I reboot it later, several emails I retrieved that should have been in my inbox much earlier. Once I notice the malfunction, closing Thunderbird and launching it again will fix the problem. But I'm a freelancer, I could miss important emails or job offers, so I need my email client to be reliable. Is this a known issue? Any idea what I could do?

I have Windows 10, by the way.

Thanks

I've tried restarting and reinstalling Thunderbird but no change in this blockage since Tuesday. I am running Windows 11 Pro and Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit). Downloading chunks of email from Comcast and trying to import them doesn't work. Please advise as I am stuck. I will check your answers on Comcast server as I can not read them directly.

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

Thunderbird is taking a photo attachment from one message and attaching it to all new messages that I open, replacing the message text with the photo. Restarting Thunderbird and restarting the computer did not help.
