I am struggling trying to get a consistent format in Thunderbird. First of all let me say that I am happy with the default use of paragraph style and if I want to have occasional single spacing I can use shift-enter instead of enter. Most queries on formatting seem to be about getting single spacing all the time. That is not my issue. That means that if I compose an email from scratch everything is just the way I want it, using the default settings. The problem arises when I reply to an email. The settings then seem to be ignored. For instance the line spacing can be fixed to single spacing whether I select paragraph or body text and no matter what I do I can't get it to follow the default behaviour. Also, I noticed that the font goes to "sans-serifArial" instead of the usual "Variable Width". In fact if I try to select "Variable Width" in the Format menu it is just ignored. How do I get the default composition settings when I reply to an incoming email?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.11esr in Kinux Manjaro (all up to date) and since I updated to 126 the drag-and-drop feature for adding attachments or pictures has stopped working:

It acts as if the attachment is there, but the file icon is greyed and with a ?, the file size is 0 bytes, and if trying to send or save as a draft, I get the message: "Please check that you have access to the file".

I installed this version through Flatpak, since I had problems with the version from the official repository.

Any help much welcome!

Hello, how can I add a full name for an additional caldav calendar? When I create a meeting in my work calendar, I see my full name (1.jpg). But if I create a meeting in caldav calendar, then the organizer only has an email in organizer field. (2.jpg)

Im running Thunderbird and can no longer log into my Outlook.com email. I have the OAuth2 server protocol enabled and its been working fine for ages, but over the last week or so has increasingly failed to login. It finds the server but hangs on login, finally after a minute or so returning "Authentication failure while connecting to server outlook.office365.com". I have not made any changes to the settings. Logging into Outlook via my web browser works fine. And here's the weird thing- enabling my VPN to change my IP to another nearby OR disconnecting from my wifi and instead hot-spotting from my 4G mobile phone, which also changes the IP- the login works fine again. Seems Microsoft have for some reason blocked my Thunderbird login at my home IP from their server end- a Real pain in the ass. I cannot find any info what to do online- how to reconfigure Thunderbird or contact Microsoft. Help!

I'm running Windows 10 and recently switched from the ESR Channel version (128.11.1) to the Release Channel version (139.0.2) and, since then, have started having a problem where the unread email count displayed on the system tray icon and also the count on the Taskbar icon are no longer correct. Most incoming, unread emails aren't counted. This feature has always worked correctly for me previously, ever since I first installed Thunderbird several years ago. When I go into Thunderbird, the count of unread emails in whatever folder they're in is still correct, the problem is just with the counts on the taskbar and tray icons.

I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* it might be the case that emails which end up in the default "Inbox" folder are added to the counts, but those which are automatically allocated on arrival to other folders on the basis of filter rules aren't being added to the counts displayed on the icons. I have searched for others reporting the same issue and haven't been able to find anything, so it seems unlikely that it's a bug. I'd greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue please.

I am using Thunderbird ESR 115.18.0 (64 bit) Supernova? on Windows 7 Pro. Just recently one of my email addresses doesn't work. When I start TB all the email servers used to be checked automatically and display new messages in the correct individual inboxes. Now two of them don't work. A box comes up saying something has failed and I am asked to enter a new password or Retry. Nothing works. I have no idea what password it is referring to. I have tried passwords related to the router supplied by my ISP and any correspondence about my account with them. After reading dozens of FAQs and posts in the communitiy I am more confused than ever. Why should it suddenly forget a critical password? Nothing has changed apart from maybe a TB update. Thankfully the mail addresses affected are not ones I use often, but they are the ones assigned by my ISP and are used for voicemail alerts, etc. I have considered reinstalling Thunderbird but don't know how to do it without putting my two most important addresses at risk, and with no guaratee it would solve the missing password problem anyway. Can you shed any light?

in using Thunderbird - 1 - I have selected "share" from the Google news feed on my Pixel 8a - 2 - Prompt Sends to my Thunderbird e-mail account jhdavis@ptd.net - 3 - the article would show up in my inbox - where I could then read/print -

     it would show up as coming from 570-xxx-xxxx@mms.net 

4 - now - for whatever reason - the article is not being forwarded and does not show up

     in my inbox -  

Feature disappeared ?? Note: - just got a new Pixel 8a - are there settings that need to be "fixed" - or reset ?? In the past I was able to "share" an article from Google News back to my e-mail - and all of a sudden - that feature has disappeared

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <j.ventures@shaw.ca> sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

When "Moving" emails to folder links that are 3 levels down in "Local Folders", the "Recent Destinations" listing will only save the link as 'Inbox - Local Folders' - not the email folder 'saved to' which may be more than one level down from 'Local Folders'.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird and I get the same results.

I have had an ongoing problem with Thunderbird being unable to log into the various mail servers that I use. I've tried repeatedly to solve this problem and have been able to cure it in the past by clearing the cache, but it recurs over and over again. I cannot keep wasting my time like this. I'm an independent contractor and I need to be able to use my e-mail client consistently. I've got work to do! This morning, it's suddenly decided that it cannot log into any of the three services that I use.

Is there a lasting solution to this problem? If not, please tell me and I'll move on peacefully, but please don't keep me chasing my tail for something that cannot be fixed.

I was previously able to set up an out of office reply using a message filter that replied with my template. I am attempting to get everything set up for my upcoming vacation and the "Reply with Template" option is gone from the available message filter options. How do I set up my out of office reply without that option?

Using Thunderbird 139.0.2

Ich kann keine Mails löschen seit dem letzten Update. Versuchte den Papierkorb löschen. Es heißt: Es steht nicht genügend Speicherplatz zur Verfügung, um neue Nachrichten herunterzuladen. Löschen Sie alte E-Mails, leeren Sie den Papierkorb sowie komprimieren Sie Ordner und versuchen Sie es anschließend erneut.

After a power outage I restarted the computer and brought up Mozilla Thunderbird the email template I use and for my emails from GMail. All eamils with content from outside such as Amazon, Ebay, and other sites I use I cannot get the content to load up. I went into settings under "privacy" and clicked on allow all remote content and nothing happened. The "Option" tab on those emails is not anywhere to be seen that will allow me to click on it and from a drop down menu allow that content to be seen either.

How do I get back to content on those emails instead of the plain text that shows nothing of any content?

I just tried to change my local folders location. I first copied everything from the current location to the new location and then changed the location in the local folders settings. When I restarted, all of the folders appeared but all of the saved emails were gone. When I tried to reset the location to the original one I received the following message.

A subdirectory of the directory specified in the Local Directory setting is already used by the "jde@ehrenkrook.com" account. Please use a different directory (also attached)

How can I get all of the saved emails in the local directory to move as well?
