Hi,

New policy (in France) only allows SMTP server to accept mail from addresses of the same domain that the user.

Ex: smtp.orange.fr only accepts mail from *@orange.fr Ex: mail.gandi.net, when user is foo@domain.tld, only accepts mail from foo@domain.tld

Issue: it is not possible to use email aliases anymore (ex for project email, such as *@php.net, *@fedoraproject)

Proposal:

Allow to use user login in mail envelop (in "MAIL FROM:" for SMTP protocol, so as return-path) instead of profile email (which can be an unallowed alias)

Tested from CLI, it seems to work.

Hello TBird fans,

I wonder when ThunderBird native client for Android (currently named "K-9") will evolve to a point when internal calendar syncing will work properly, eliminating the need to import google calendars into desktop Tbird ? Is it possible to estimate that time now, or it's better to search for alternative solution(s) ?

I will need an Android synced calendar app soon, I would prefer ThunderBird, since I've been using it for at least a decade, and I'm not even satisfied but became enthusiast also. Best email client ever made IMHO. It would be very convenient to use TBird's integrated calendar.

I've searched the forums for "android calendar sync", but didn't find corresponding info, just this archived thread is closest to my question (particularly the 3. question of it) : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1436077

I'm not willing to use google calendar, since I don't want unstoppable notifications and ads when my events are due in time.

Thanks, Peter ;-)

Hello,

In Thunderbird, sometimes I get empty emails, where I have a single message something like this: --=_swift-4237422295d790f35b16c49.66966381=_--

If I login and access the webmail platform, then I can see the emails fine, but on my computer I get that line of code.

It does so for a while, then it recovers.

What is the problem and what can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Thank you!

My inbox messages that are incoming are showing the following message and no data. This has happened for several days. It comes from both internal and external contacts and I know the emails are not spam/junk. How do I fix it so I get the messages. It is this same code on all days and all the emails with this message. I do get some of my other emails so not sure how it is decided which this is happening to but I am missing out on several that I need due to this issue. Thanks for your assistance!

Problema tasto canc. In una qualunque cartella con un numero n° di messaggi, selezionando uno di essi e premendo il tasto canc, avveniva la cancellazione dello stesso e di tutti i messaggi n fino a che non veniva rilasciato il tasto canc. Con il rilascio della versione 128.xx invece questa funzione è stata disabilitata. E' possibile ripristinarla? per me era molto comoda.

Starting with, I think, the latest update of Thunderbird, it beeps when it shows me a new message. I do NOT like my computer pestering me with noises.

I went into Settings and turned off "Play a Sound" as shown in the attached screenshot. (Why it got turned on -- apparently as part of an update -- mystifies me.)

So why is Thunderbird still beeping at me?

Thanks in advance for advice anyone can offer on how to make it shut up. [g]

last few weeks, at two times. some emails (like 10 each time) has not been able to read when getting them from the server - they look as they should when viewing them online in the webmail. but downloaded to thunderbird they look like this: "------=_002_NextPart061840547421_=------

Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Quotation.xls" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Quotation.xls"

what is the problem and how to solve it?

Dear Support Team,

For the past two weeks, I have been experiencing significant issues with Thunderbird. The program frequently freezes, and I have also noticed that some of my sent emails are missing from the "Sent" folder.

I would like to mention that other colleagues using the same email accounts do not encounter these problems, and Thunderbird has worked smoothly for me over the last 5 years. The issues started after I returned from a 2.5-week vacation during which I did not open the program.

Could you please help me resolve these issues? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards, Rafał

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird (128.2.0esr (64-bit)).

For some months I've been having a problem with some mail that I have read still showing as unread (bold). This happens whether I use the message pane or double-click to open the mail in a separate window.

Even if I then right-click on the email and select Mark > As read, the email initially shows as read, but a short time later it reverts to unread (bold).

I raised the issue with my email service provider and they say they only support web mail.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks!

Hi. Same question as in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226211 : How can I customize the TB's main menu ?

I would like to remove menu items, which I never use:

• for simplicity
• to avoid accidental deletion (e.g. "delete folder", "delete message", "delete mail marked as junk in folder", etc.)

many thanks!

Hi, I have a problem, when i set outomatic reply on my account email has send, but with wrong encoding. I 'm writting mail in czech language, so you probably wont be understanding. In the picture is a screen of mail, that was automatic sent, please help me, what i should to change in settings.

NO flltering system is perfect, so a real live human bean needs to check what Gmail and/or Thunderbird has classified as Spam and retrieve the few valid messages. But unless Thunderbird displays NUMBER of messages waiting there, I'm not reminded to check. Is there some parameter I need to set to make it do that?

Thanks for help.

Hello. I am using Win11 and have been a Mozilla Thunderbird user for many years. Today I cannot open Thunderbird due to a "side-by-side" error. See image attached. I am not very computer savvy and therefor find some of the suggested solutions on the web rather difficult to understand and apply. I would appreciate any help you can be. Thanks, Murray Kerr, Auckland, NZ.

I have Thunderbird in 3 computers. I downloaded the upgrade this week and a lot of changes took place. Then I got locked out? All kinds of colors turned themselves on, then it kept asking me if I wanted to change a function???? I kept saying no, then yes. It continued to ask. Turned off the computer and worried if I get my old stuff back. Today it is working but incoming mail is in the lower part of the screen, old mail is in the top. How do I go back to the old version. This is my desktop

I just turned on my laptop and it asked me to upgrade. NOPE! I've used you guys for years and only made a small donation, sorry. Didn't know you have an app for my Android??? Would have tried it. Does your browser follow and track me like Chrome, which I hate. I will aways speak well of you guys even if I can't go back to the older version. See ya, Randy

Hi

I hope someone can provide me with some advice.

I have used Thunderbird since its birth and have always found it reliable. However the latest release seems to be having problems with moving emails.

Example 1 - I moved an email from my Inbox to a special folder. The email was present in full before the move. Only the header appeared to be copied. I could not undo this and attempting repair on both inbox and other folder failed, as did exit and re-start. The result is that this email is lost.

Example 2 - I went to do a bulk move from the search window (something I have done hundreds of times before without incident). As usual CTRL A, Move to <new folder>, emails greyed out but nothing happens. Exit, return, repeat - same result.

At other times, both these type of operations work fine. But it is unpredictable.

Relatedly, I observe that on start-up the Inbox initially shows as <no messages> and takes several seconds to populate. Also, my auto-filing Rules are also working inconsistently.

These two points, and the two examples, are new issues for me since 128 release. I am using Windows 10 Pro on an HP Envy 17" laptop.

Any suggestions welcome as I am now concerned about losing emails!

Best wishes Roland

If I open an E-mail and click FORWARD then change the send to address and make some changes in that E-mail then click SEND will that show up in my SEND ITEMS list??

If so how long should that take?? Do I need to close the E-mail Thunderbird and then reopen it to see the message that I sent via FORWARD??

I did this and the FORWARDED E-mail did not show in my SENT ITEM list??

Am I doing something wrong?? BOB

I finally upgraded TB v102 to v115 (115.15.0) on Windows 10. I got this version working fine and looking similar to v102. When I tried to attach a PDF to a new email, via drag'n drop to the email compose window, it doesn't work. I open TB in administrator mode. I can use the time-consuming attach via the button and selection.

It seems this has been commented on via the Internet but I am having a hard time believing that drag'n drop attachment no longer works. What setting am I missing?

Thanks,
