Other than being slow to download my emails now for a few months, TB was performing well until a week or so ago. Now it also won't open the downloaded email when I click on it and the TB freezes up so I can't close it out. I have tried restarting computer multiple times and it works for one or two emails that I can open and then starts freezing up again. Makes using it almost impossible. I have security Windows 11 Defender only and have had it the entire time when it also worked well.

Problem: the bottom left says "No messages to download", the download line on the bottom right keeps jumping and it's impossible to use filters!

Tried: -Logged in to my account again, clearing old data. Didn't help. -Tried "Repair Folder" -Deleted filters -Deleted indexes None of these helped. How can I fix the problem? This didn't happen before, but it appeared with version 150.0.1.

Every time I launch Thunderbird Beta 151.0b1 on Arch Linux, I immediately get a notification saying "The certificate for imap.gmail.com does not come from a trusted source." If I click through to the exception dialog, it shows "No Information Available / Unable to obtain identification status for this site" — it can't even fetch the certificate to show me what's wrong with it. The error only appears on launch and doesn't come back. Mail sends and receives fine.

From the terminal, openssl connects to imap.gmail.com:993 without any issue (Verify return code: 0, TLS 1.3, X25519MLKEM768). No antivirus, no VPN, no TLS-intercepting software. NSS 3.123.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this a known Beta issue?

i love 65 because it is SO much faster but i would like to be able to sync my calendar.

the older versions just do not work very well for me. too slow

thanks, scott

Recently the email composing function has ceased working in Thunderbird (ver 65.0b3 (32-bit)). Other functionality also recently changed ie clicking the get messages button no longer downloads new messages so we now have to select Get all new messages from the drop down arrow attached to that button. We are only able to type in the email body text area when replying to messages but not when we compose a new message from scratch. The compose new message screen allows us to put in send from and send to as well as type a subject line but doesn't allow us to click in the body text area. If I update the subject line and then tab to try and get to cursor to move to the body text area, all that happens is a dotted line border shows around the body text frame box. I have tried safe mode without addins and removed silverlight but nothing has changed. My wife said she accepted some update a few weeks ago but can't remember what it was for. I will attach a screen shot of the compose page to assist in helping resolve this issue. Thanks

Does anyone know how to highlight in the 65.0beta version of Thunderbird?

I can change the color of text and the whole pages background color but I can't highlight specific text only. I searched for an add on and had no luck. All the add on's I could find stated that they are not compatible with the 65.0beta version.

I frequently highlight text in email correspondence. I can do this in Microsoft word and every other email application I have used. I am resorting to saving my email in Thunderbird and opening it up in my old email application to highlight and then send the email. It's really annoying!

Hi

No spell checking available (greyed out), add-on dialogue says Dictionary has been added to TB ( refer image).

Any suggestions?

thanks

Problems since Thunderbird updated (automatically?) to beta version (63.0). Unable to send from one of my two companies' accounts, despite having been in ongoing communication with their tech support (STARTMAIL) that my settings are correct. They were correct. But now "Account Settings" are not visible (just a tiny non-functional window) unless I got to Help > Troubleshooting Information where they are merely viewable (see below).

Finally, I uninstalled Thunderbird via control panel on my Windows OS. Then I downloaded (from Mozilla website) Thunderbird version 60.2.1.

It opened with the same issues--unable to send via one account; unable to view under "account settings" the details for any of my accounts. Verified with my optimization software (System Mechanic) that 60.2.1 was the only visibly remaining Thunderbird artifact. Did hard shutdown of computer. No change upon re-starting computer.

I had expected that uninstalling and downloading the prior version of Thunderbird would mean that I would have to go through registering in Thunderbird my various email accounts. I thought that I could do this cleanly (all w. IMAP) & more efficiently (no duplicates or leftovers--seven accts on 1 server; one acct on other server). However, Thunderbird opened already populated exactly as I had it (even open tabs) prior to uninstalling.

The only tweaking I have done this week since Thunderbird updated to beta version were: re-set my Master Password... attempt to change the accounts on one server (my ISP's) from POP3 to IMAP (which doesn't appear to have stuck as IMAP, despite speaking to their tech support), but those accounts appear to be working... deleting and re-instating 3x my email accounts with the other server (which is IMAP) due to the problem of not being able to send email's (I have been in ongoing contact with their tech support)--each time applying the new password provided by my server.

BTW, earlier in this process I contacted my antivirus tech support. And I've tried sending with my antivirusware shut off, but login to the server still failed.

Help, please!

I have researched endless options how to download an add on for google search in the options dropdown menu for search engines.

The download https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-search-for-thunderbi/?src=search says it is not compatible with my version of thunderbird which is 60 Beta. What must I do?

I wanted to try thunderbird 60 (60.0b6). Fresh install with a new profil.

And I can't find the "quick reply" option (the quick reply field that allow to quick reply to an email, like in the regular version of thunderbird 52.8).

How do I turn that on ?

Thank you.

i want recent beta version of Thunderbird to work in background & shows new message arrival notification icon in win-10 tray. is it compatible for this. if Yes, how to do it, If No, is the team working on this, can we get this facility in future?

I'm running on the beta channel on one machine and release channel on another. The release numbers are far different. Does that mean that what I'm seeing in beta is years away from release?

How can a change the order of email accounts in my left pane? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/manually-sort-folders/ only works through 57.0. I am running 60.0b1
