I have update to 128.2.0esr (64-bit) ever since i have done so my emails show as a code like below

The From, Subject also do not show

To see my emails i am dragging them to a folder, clicking on properties and then repair.

Can someone assist please.

I have two Gmail accounts that I use to manage the band I'm in. Let's call them 'venues@gmail.com' and 'punters@gmail.com'.

I access both accounts using Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit), under Linux Mint.

When someone emails the band on the Punters address I reply to it in Thunderbird, which automatically sets my From: address as punters@gmail.com.

What happens next is that my reply appears in the Sent Items for BOTH Punters and Venues. The copy in the Punters sent folder says that it's from "Punters <punters@gmail.com>", but the copy in the Venues sent folder says it's from "Punters <venues@gmail.com>".

When I examine the headers, there's extra stuff in the copy in the Venues account, specifically a 'Received: from' entry that makes it look like the email has been routed via a Google server, so suspect this might be a Google issue and not a Thunderbird one, but I'm not sure.

The email headers for the two copies include the following lines:

Punters copy:

From: Punters <punters@gmail.com> Reply-To: punters@gmail.com

Venues copy:

From: Punters <venues@gmail.com> Reply-To: punters@gmail.com X-Google-Original-From: Punters <punters@gmail.com>

The problem I have is that when people reply back to my reply, while most often they're sent to punters@gmail.com, sometimes they're sent to venues@gmail.com. That is, some email clients appear to be sending to what's in the 'From:' field, not the 'Reply-To:' field (or the X-Google-Original-From one). The Venues address is only used by me, where the Punters address is shared with two other band members, so it matters what email address people reply to.

I've examined the account settings for both email addresses in Thunderbird and in Google, and can't work out what's going on.

I've been using this email setup for the last decade. I'm not sure when this started happening, but possibly only within the last 6 months or so.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before and know how to stop it?

I hope I’ve chosen the correct category. I believe this qualifies as a bug following the recent update.

When I opened Thunderbird today, it notified me about the update. While Thunderbird successfully fetches new emails, it fails to display them correctly.

As shown in the screenshot, the area where the email content should appear is completely white. Additionally, it incorrectly displays an attachment from an old email that has nothing to do with today’s email (10:13), aside from the fact that both were sent to me.

When I click on other emails in the same inbox, the content area doesn’t change—it remains blank. However, if I switch to a different inbox, everything works fine.

I’ve also double-checked using my phone’s mail app, and I’m able to open the email in that inbox without any issues.

I’m unsure how to fix this. Could someone more knowledgeable help me out?

Since my update to Ubuntu 24.04.01 I experience issues in the thunderbird app with sending and saving messages as a draft. The error message is always only "sending of the message failed". I already tried all the points of your support website: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages#w_verify-that-your-mail-server-supports-the-minimum-version-of-tls, but this unfortunately didn't help. I also deinstalled and reinstalled thunderbird via snap. But the problem remains. My Ubuntu is version: 24.04.01 LTS My Thunderbird is version: Thunderbird 128.2.0esr I got no firewall and no antivirus software. Everything else is in the screenshot. I hope you can help me! Thanks already!

What is happening with hotmails and outlook accounts???? Even i have choose to store password everytime i open/run thunderbird it ask me the password and even i enter it again it ask me again and again and again only at hotmail/outlook maill accounts not at gmail or yahoo mail accounts. I have try all options and still always ask me the password of hotmail/outlook mail accounts.

What the heck is happening really? I have thunderbird 1.15.0 64bit esr

I have choose the oath2. and i have try mail server for imap: imap server: outlook.office365.com ssl/tls oath2 port: 993

Smtp server: smtp.office365.com starttls oath2 port: 587

Is there some way that I can nullify the format changes in the v128.x message list, compared to v115.x, so that my UserChrome.css tweaks that are functioning well in v115.x are not broken? Perhaps there are some new Config flags that might be set? I hate to have to redo a bunch of carefully calibrated work.

Sample of v115.15.0 message list included; I uninstalled v128, so I can't easily show a sample of that.

We've got around 2000 AD-joined windows 10 boxes, with TB as the mail client, for years. Users are connected as domain users (ie, non-admins). Now IIRC, first TB version installed was 60. TB was updated throughout the years automaticall without a hitch, up to and including version 115.x.

With the advent of 128 we had started receiving calls from users stating that a message pops-up asking for credentials. Taking a closer look we discovered that each and every installation needed admin credentials to be able to do the upgrade to 128.

Is this a bug or normal behaviour? It is definitely a problem, especially for small organizations that do not know how to install manually an MSI of the latest version.

Good afternoon,

Each time I load Thunderbird, I am prompted to enter the password for two email accounts, namely: 'president@crcc.com.au', 'secretary@crcc.com.au'. How do I fix this, please?

Hello,

       About 5 months ago I had this same issue and paid a person $90.00 to fix this issue

and erything was working gin until just recently, I have this issue all over again! I cannot afford to keep paying people to fix this all the time is this issue keeps popping up! Now I cannot received or send any outgoing mail!! THE MESSAGE SAYS:

SEND MESSAGE ERROR, SENDING OF THE MESSAGE FAILED THE MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT BECAUSE THE CONNECTING TO THE OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) stmp.mail.yahoo.com failed. THE SERVER MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR IS REFUSING SMPT CONNECTING. PLEASE VERIFY THAT YOUR OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) SETTINGSD ARE CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN

I'M LOST, I'M NOT THAT TECHMICAL AND NEED HELP!

I've read a number of posts regarding using Mail Store Home to enable the transfer of mail from a PST file to TB. I was under the impression that the archive within MSH could be run against a stand-alone PST file (that is, Outlook is not installed). When I select Archive Email as per instructions on other posts, and specify the location of the PST file and then run, I get an error: "This feature requires Microsoft Outlook XP/2003 or higher". Does it require Outlook to be installed, or am I doing something wrong? Also I am a bit unclear of the run sequence with MSH - do I run Archive Email followed by Export Email and what is the connection between the two? Refer to image attached. Thanks.

No downloads since Sept. 1st The account pisces312@embarqmail.com is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages.

I need help please

Hi, my thunderbird account has suddenly stopped downloading emails, and comes up with the message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disc space to copy the mailbox." I have tried deleting lots of emails, and clearing the deleted folder and clearing the cashae, but it does not make any difference. Any help would be appreciated, as i have limited knowlege of computers. Thanks Peter

This may be a feature request, or something I am missing in the current TB128.2

Whenever I search, I always prefer the "Show results as a list," presentation but the view shown is always the one with the stats and I have to then click "show results as a list." Is there a way to have that screen come up initially so I don't always have to request it?

Hi!

My name is Maria. I have been using Thunderbird for a while now and have recently run into some issues. The app interface is broken and I can no longer see the graphic design/proper email layout. There is also the issue that it appears my email is forwarding the emails I receive back to my email, rather than getting mail directly from the sender. I have attached an image below so you can see what I mean.

I have tried updating and restarting both the app and my computer, going so far as to remove and reinstall Thunderbird, but nothing has helped. Please let me know what I can do! I am wondering if I somehow changed the code on my end? I have no idea.

Thank you, Maria

This is a problem I have from time to time. I am currently using TB 128.2, but have had it in prior versions from before 115. I had the problem in win10, though now I am using win11pro current version.

I search an item based on a text stream, in this case: "tree planting works in the fall," and the results are found, but I can't open it. I then click show results as a list and it says no messages found. This is a message I archived. If I go to my saved local archive I can find and open the message. So the search was useful in that I was led to the message, but what's up with search? Is there an operation like compaction that I need to run to get search reoriented?

I have attached screen shots of the original find and the show results as a list.

Hiya,

I just started setting up Thunderbird and I have come across a bug. At least, I think it's a bug.

The situation: I'm viewing favorite folders and unified folders. What I want, is to show some unified folders in my favorite folders. That is, my unified inbox, drafts, and sents. So, I right click on them, I select "✅ Favorite folder" and they appear among my favorite folders. All good, right? However... When I restart Thunderbird, the unified inboxes have disappeared from my favorite folders. And when I right click them, it still says they are marked as "✅ Favorite folder" And the way to make them reappear is by deselecting and reselecting them as favorite folders. See the picture.

So, what is happening? Is this a bug? My guess is that it is. Could anyone help me to circumvent this?
