Thunderbird Community Forum

Greetings.

After updating to 128.2.0esr (64-bit), my RSS feed for DimeADozen (http://bt.dimeadozen.org/rss/) stopped working. It requires a username+password. I removed the subscription and deleted the subfolder from Blogs & Newsfeeds, but when I tried to add it back, the URL returned "The Feed URL is not authorized." I checked the version of Thunderbird, and apparently the update hadn't fully applied, as I was told to relaunch. After doing so, when I try to add the feed, I get the message "You already have a subscription for this feed." It is not listed in the Feed Subscriptions window.

Please help.

Thunderbird keeps asking me for the password of an email account every time I restart it. The account was removed from Thunderbird several months ago. Even when the account is set up again, it asks for the password in a continuous loop. The email account itself cannot be deleted or the password changed as it is used by multiple parties.

I have tried sevaral things and it seriously is driving me crazy...

I see blog https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/04/adventures-in-rust-bringing-exchange-support-to-thunderbird/

Microsoft Exchange is a popular choice of email service for corporations and educational institutions, and so it’s no surprise that there’s demand among Thunderbird users to support Exchange. Until recently, this functionality was only available through an add-on. But, in the next ESR (Extended Support) release of Thunderbird in July 2024, we expect to provide this support natively within Thunderbird. Because of the size of this undertaking, the first roll-out of the Exchange support will initially cover only email, with calendar and address book support coming at a later date.

How can I connect my mail to exchange using Thunderbird?

I tried to transfer the Profile of Thunderbird Version 115 from my Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 11 PC. I followed the steps posted at the website ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer ) I got to Step 5 for the new / destination computer 5. Locate the "Profile Folder" entry, but when I clicked Open Folder. Windows could not find the Thunderbird profile folder How do I bring my Thunderbird profile to the current version of Thunderbird? Thank you

I am taking over a function from another person. We both use Thunderbird. He has all communication on this subject stored in a subfolder. Is there a way to transfer the subfolder to me? The alternative would be to Forward each of the messages to me but because of the number this is not a viable approach. We don't need to Share the subfolder, only transfer it.

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

I want a dynamic quote of the day automatically added to my email signature in Thunderbird.

Is there a way for Thunderbird to insert a quote of the day from a website using Google Sheets or another tool? How about inserting a quote of the day from a local file?

The goal is to have the day's quote automatically change each day.

My Thunderbird recently updated itself to 128.2.0esr (32-bit). Right after that, my Gmail account in Thunderbird started a process of downloading messages into the Important Mail folder or All Mail and other folders. Thousands of them. It creeps along pausing occasionally, freezing my mail app, and can't do anything until it does whatever, then continues for a minute or two normally before freezing up again. It's possible most of the time to do something while it's downloading-- it halts then catches up and halts again in only a few seconds. Almost impossible to compose a message or read messages while it's downloading. Sometimes, if you click on something when it halts, it says "Thunderbird not responding" turns faded and crashes or have to go into task manager and end the process to get out of it. Right now, my mail is downloading with a total Important Mail quantity of (it reports now) 5787 messages. That quantity changes each time. I've left the mailer open just sitting there hoping it might finish whatever it needs to do, and then I can go about business without the freezing. But then it starts downloading mail again. Now it's switched over and doing it in All Mail-- 20,000 of those, and flipping between Sent Mail and then back to Important... The only workaround I've found is when it starts that activity, close the mailer and reopen it and then I have at least a few minutes to read or compose mail before it starts up and bollixes activity, and I have to close down and reopen to continue. I can find NO setting to adjust or turn this "feature" off. I have to go use the actual Gmail in a browser, which I hate, to get anything done. I've used Thunderbird since it first came out, even back to when it was Netscape mail before going independent as Mozilla and prefer to use it but can't with this downloading madness.

I recently started to receive this error message: The folder 'Inbox on gassajx@xxxx.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." I have over 300 GB free disk space and full control of the file system. How can I make compacting folders work again?

In the Thunderbird calendar, I'm trying to create a repeating event that occurs on the fourth Wednesday from Sep 25, 2024 through Jan 22, 2025.

But each time I try to set it up, using Jan 22 as the end date, Thunderbird changes the end date to Jan 21 and so the last event does not get created. I've tried several times and this keeps happening.

What's going on?

Morning everyone. For the last couple of days, I've been unable to download emails through TB. I have quite a few email accounts and not one of them is downloading, they all stopped working at the same time. I've checked the OAuth2 settings and everything is in order. I recently removed all the accounts from TB and re-added them one by one to ensure they were set up correctly as I'd been having problems.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Not a question, a suggestion. On the help page for using OAuth2 in Thunderbird, there are 2 things not specified. 1. In the SMTP settings, I couldn't select OAuth2 untli I changed the server from something older to, if I remember right, smtp.office365.com. The old entry was more like smtp.outlook.com. Then I had to close and restart Thunderbird. 2. Tbird still couldn't access my Outlook mail account. On Microsoft's security page, I had to create an "app password" and enter that in Thunderbird instead of my previous Outlook password. Either I made an error, or the first app password didn't work and I had to create another app password; that time it succeeded.

I've installd TB and connected it to my Gmail account. it started downloading the messages about 300 at a time. It reached 46k messages. Now it would only download 1 or 2 messages at atime... every time I click Get all new messages and it only got to april 2023... so it still has about 10k messages to download... Thank you for any sugestions!

At first, the messages in the inbox were blank in the lower pane of the classic view in Thunderbird and when I clicked on them they were blank when they opened up. I tried the "Repair Folder" suggestion and ALL of my email messages in the inbox went away.

I don't know what I did but when I restarted my computer all of the messages started downloading into the inbox. I thought my problem was solved but now every received message has a long, drawn-out message of a bunch of letters and numbers before you get to the bottom of it to read the message (See screenshot below).

I have no idea what has caused this and I don't know how to get rid of them.

Any suggestions?

Just recently I'm getting a message that says my IMAP quota is at 75%, but every six months I move older messages stored in folders to Local Folders on my computer, to avoid using too much storage on the Thunderbird/Mozilla server. I don't know what else to do to avoid losing access to my email. Thank you.

Guyz, volunteers, please tell ur boss that another one here thinks that If you dont touch visuals for decade and focus only stability and security, he would definitelly gladly pay for such option.

Personal emails exhibit no problem. When I send emails to corporations via Thunderbird they do not now receive them. If I re-send them via Gmail, they do. Seems to me there must be some new elements added to Thunderbird that triggers corporate system screening rejection.

Been a long time Thunderbird user. This situation has just recently developed.

Is there a fix on my end?
