On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

I just recently switched to Thunderbird and Libre Office to get rid of MS365. I am happy so far, if there wasn't one particular issue which I do not find a solution for:

I know how to sort messages with the newest on top, I know how to toggle the threaded view on and off. But I would like to use the threaded view and find it impossible to adjust a descending order within a thread. So I end up with the newest thread on top, but the thread headline shows the oldest message and if I unfold the thread it's in ascending order.

This is a major issue for me. To avoid overlooking incoming mails, I need to switch of the threaded view. Websearch didn't provide me a solution.

Hello All, I'm new to Thunderbird and here is something I'm wondering about: I created all my accounts and set everything to Unified ... all works fine. All 5 accounts show under "All Folders" ... if it's also checked, but I don't use it usually. In Unified view, however, UNDER the unified folders, my primary account is missing...?!? Again, I'm talking about the account list UNDER the unified folders! ... not the "All Folders" list! (if it's checked) (I usually don't have "All Folders" on)

The drop-down lists of the single unified folders, however, e.g. Inbox, Sent, etc., DO SHOW the primary account! (On a side note: under Drafts only four accounts show ...?)

So, why is the primary account missing in the list UNDER Unified folders ... (there are only four plus "Local Folders") but it is listed in the separate unified folders, if opened..? I hope explained it clear enough.

Please see attachments

BTW, at my home computer, ALL accounts are showing (in Unified view) under the unified folders. Please let me know what I did wrong or if I have to explain it better.

Thanks

Why do I get this alert message across the bottom of my screen when I double-click to open an email in my INbox? It is in a yellow box across the bottom of a pre-populated draft 'return to the sender" email.

A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Robert Hill <arnilmmproductions@gmail.com>"

It doesn't mark the original email as 'Read' when I close it. But if I right click on it, it gives me the option of opening it a new Tab, a new Window, or a Conversation.

The problem seems to recur after a Thunderbird upgrade.

Hoping to get your response and a solution soon. Thank you.

Hi everyone, After setting up an auto-reply on one of my mail accounts, I get the auto-response but at the bottom of the signature is literal pages of random characters, completely unrelated to the auto-reply text (see attached screenshot).

Is there a way to use TB's editor as a replacment for WordPad?

I am a very retired programmer (K&R C mostly starting in early 70's. Not C++ or .NET stuff). About 20 years ago I became legally blind - low vision, only very center of one eye, loss of most color perception and need high contrast. Dark mode is usually better. For years I used WordPad to take notes with large font etc., but WordPad is no longer in Windows 11. I rarely save the notes, it is sort of my large print Post-It note - more than phone numbers, messages for wife, etc. For small stuff like that I use my 8x10 white board with dry-erase marker. I switched from Outlook to TB about 2 years ago. Wonderful. But it appears that it insists that I save as DRAFT etc. where I usually don't want to save it (or retrieve it by selecting from not large font list of items in the DRAFTS folder. Life expectancy for sheet if preinted is measurered in hours if I want/need to print it. Is there a way to make use of the TB editor as a standalone? Forget Word with its unfriendly ribbon etc. Ditto for OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NotePad++, etc. They are all to heavy, awkward to launch/start up, etc. I don't need TO:, SUBJECT: etc. I don't need multi-documents at once.

I use TextPad and ZoomText (magnifier/reader with all sorts of enhancements such as full-screen cross hars to help me find the cursor / mouse pointer) for recreational programming etc., too many features etc. to launch or get out of.  No, I don't want a copy out on OneDrive - not on my phone, not on my tablet etc.  Although speech recognition would be nice, but then again that could be disruptive in home environment.  My wife is not a fan of Alexa.

Perhaps find a way to grab WordPad from somewhere? (I doubt that I have media for, say, W7 or earlier. Then there's compatibility issues, ... )

Lastly, I apologize for all of those 'etc.' - this question would have been a lot longer without them.

Thanks, Nick

All my email accounts are hosted at siteground. I recently created a new domain, website, and two email addresses there. Siteground support tested the new email addresses and said they work fine. But when trying to set up these new email accounts in Thunderbird - 128.5.2esr (32-bit) - I keep getting error messages. I know the passwords are correct because I checked them in Settings. After the first step in setup, I always get "Configuration found at email provider". If I click "Done", I get "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". If I click "Configure manually" and then "Re-test", I get "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account".

After working fine for years, Thunderbird stopped receiving email from my POP accounts a month ago and I haven't been able to get it to work since. After weeks of experimentation and frustration, the only way I can get TB to download POP mail is to install and run it in Windows Safe Mode with networking. However, once installed in Windows Safe Mode, TB run in Windows normal mode will successfully send messages from each account.

It would take pages to describe everything I've tried, so I won't. The results of all the tweaking and updates is the system specs below.

OS: Windows 10 Home (x64) version 22H2 AVS: BitDefender Email: Thunderbird 102.15.1 Add-ons: None Theme: Default Accept cookies: Always Exceptions: (added any that seemed even remotely associated with issue) https://accounts.google.com https://mail.google.com https://www.googleapis.com https://pop.gmail.com https://pop.gmail.com:995 https://smtp.gmail.com https://smtp.gmail.com:587 https://pop.centurylink.com https://pop.centurylink.com:995 https://smtp.centurylink.com https://smtp.centurylink.com:587

I'm at a total loss as to what I've missed or where to look next. I would appreciate any help.
