I have an issue when it comes to opening pdf files sent via email. The issue occurs on one of the user profiles. That particular user is unable to open pdf attachments. When the file is downloaded, the size of the file appears as 0 kb and the file cannot be opened due to an error saying the file is corrupted. When sent to a different email address the same file opens without a problem using Thunderbird or when downloaded. The issues does not happen everytime a pdf file is sent to the previously mentioned user but it occurs on the majority of pdf files. I am writing this email to inquire about any possible solutions to this problem. I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

I am running Thunderbird 115.10.1 (Flatpak) on Ubuntu 20.04. (no extensions except birdtray) I have 4 email addresses added to my TB, and I like to see all of them together, therefore I am using Unified Folders. When I am accessing Unified Inbox, TB is very slow and basically frozen until it loads this folder (often a pop-up appears that 'TB is not responding'). it takes between 30-60 seconds to load my emails (either on start-up, or clicking on another folder, then going back to Unified Inbox). Every other folders open almost instantly. I have to admit I have a lot of emails in the Unified Inbox (~20K), however the inbox of my main email has 18K, and accessing that folder separately is instant. So any operation, other than opening Unified Inbox, is quite snappy.

This issue persists since I upgraded to v115, even when I did an OS reinstall (also tried installing apt (v115.11.0)).

I have seen this answer: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1428374#question-reply however, nothing changed by resetting the folder.

Happy to see thunderbird is doing better and better recent years. I think it is now the time to add an option to allow it automatically startup in the background on system startup, which has been asked for several years. That is a really useful option, why not just implement it?

I think there are 2 ways: 1. Just automatically startup in the background on system startup and receive messages 2. Register a service in the background to receive e-mails and pop up notifications, and in this case, we don't need to add this option

The first solution may be easier to implement, but the second seems better? Anyway, thunderbird should have one of them

BTW, add an option to minimalize when click on 'close' button. I know there's an extension for this, so why not just integrate it :-)

Thanks!

I (jlmiley@comcast.net) cannot send or receive email. It says it can't connect to server email.comcast.net. Thank You!

my storage size shows 89% so how can i get a bigger storage or can i get som folders out and save on my pc ? i am not a computer specialist so please give me an advice in simple steps

I normally have TB set to check for updates and allow me to choose to install them. This has in past releases broken some add-ons that are important to me; either because the developer hasn't caught up or has given up maintaining it/them.

I see from the Addons compatibility checker that a couple of them, specifically QNote and ImportExportTools NG are flagged as currently incompatible with 128, and if these stop working before being updated, I will endure serious problems, especially with ImportExportTools, which I use to save and archive critical correspondence.

I would therefore like to be able to turn off update checking of any sort, so that my current version of TB and relevant add-ons continue to work. When the compatibility checks tell me that the add-ons are now updated to 128 (and upwards) compatibility, then I can take off the update check block and carry on with updating. That is, until this particular problem recurs.

I imagine this is something in config, but it would help and save me time if anyone could advise me.

I am receiving incoming emails in earthlink's webmail, but they are not coming to my Thunderbird account. I just had to change my password today and it was after that I am no longer receiving emails at Thunderbird. Can you help?

The messages could not be moved or copied to folder 'Trash on jmor444@gmail.com' because writing to folder failed. To gain disk space, from the File menu, first choose Empty Trash, and then choose Compact Folders, and then try again.

Hi,

When trying to implement the OAuth for a live.com account the Thunderbird system seemed to lose everything. There was no sign of any emails the view was as the image. The help page we used

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

There were no errors or information.

On going back to the conventional settings of using a password we got information that emails were arriving via app poppups etc but still the view we get is the same as in the picture. Nothing at all in the view.

We have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird and are now on v 128
