I found a bug in Thunderbird 153.0.2esr version that wasn't a problem in previous versions. When I drag an email from Thunderbird into a folder in Windows File Explorer (Windows 10 PC), when I drop the email into the folder, I get an error box titled :Error Moving File or Folder", with the contents with a large red X and text "Unspecified error".

The workaround is to right-click the selected email(s) and choose "Save As...".

Anybody else here able to reproduce this and confirm it is a bug?

Can no longer drag and drop email attachments from emails to folders after 153esr update

My Thunderbird install updated from 140.13.0esr to 153.0.2esr yesterday and now I can no longer drag and drop any attachment from an email to any folder on my computer. I simply get an error message window with a title of "Error Moving File or Folder" with "Unspecified error" text. See image attachment.

I've tried a variety of folders, including Downloads, Documents, Pictures and other folders on local and external storage devices.

I can save the attachments using the Save All button, or by right-clicking a file and choosing Save As, but not by dragging and dropping as I have done so for years.

I have checked if Thunderbird is running in admin mode, which it is not, but have tested it both ways with the same problem occurring. I have also run Thunderbird in Troubleshoot mode, and the same thing occurs. I tried clearing the startup cache from the troubleshooting page with no change. Restarting the PC did not resolve the issue, and disabling my anti-virus(Avast) also did not make a difference to the issue.

My name is Barrie Johnson. I have been a Mozilla Thunderbird user for my e-mail services for many years. In the past couple of days I have been getting messages from Google telling me that my e-mail provider - i.e. Mozilla Thunderbird - will not allow Google to access it, with the result that I cannot get to a current version of my Inbox and there is no trace of my calendar details. Can you please help me?

I have had Thunderbird from the time I acquired my Mac computer. This week it started to do something new. After a restart I opened Thunderbird. A box came up that says across the top System Integration. The cursor balloons, and hasn't stopped for the time I powered the computer, as least fifteen minutes. You know how the program icons are in a dock across the bottom. With other browsers open, hitting the Thunderbird icon doesn't bring its window into the forefront. This needs either a reset, or possibly a backup first. Is there a quicker way to fix this? Thanks in advance. I am not using a VPN; but I also have Thunderbird on my Windows 11. You might have seen a more recent thread on that installation. I included a screenshot. It was easier here to do that than on the Windows 11. On the Mac, I just had to use Activity Monitor to close out of Thunderbird in order to get its version.

Can't create or rename Inbox subfolders in Thunderbird

Environment:

  • Thunderbird 153.0.2 (aarch64)
  • MacBook Air, M4, Tahoe 26.5.1

When I try to create or rename an Inbox subfolder in Thunderbird it all seems’’ to work (no error message), but after pressing “Rename” or Create” nothing happens.

Thought I found a workaround: Created a “Temporary” subfolder in “Local Folders” and “moved it" to the Inbox. And it showed up there. (But it was still in the “Local Folders”!). Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Local Folders, that worked. Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Inbox—it just disappeared! It was no longer in the Spam folder, but did not end up in (either) Temporary folder.
