Thunderbird Community Forum

Good morning all.

I was wondering if someone could assist me in standardizing email signatures when sending a new email, and replying to an email. Let me elaborate a little bit...

When I compose a new email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `composing.jpg` attachment.

When I reply to an email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `replies.jpg` attachment.

I appreciate any assistance someone can provide, and guide me to the best way of standardizing these bad boys.

Have a great day!

I want to use TB as client for a twc.com account. I do not want a TB email account; I want to use it to access my existing twc.com account. I have downloaded TB but the only option I see is to open a TB email account, which is not my goal. How can I find the option to open the TB site and setup to use TB as client for a twc.com account?

I have multiple accounts in Thunderbird. I use Unified Folders for inbox. If I click "New Message" while in the Unified Folders view, the message will send from my default account, which is bill@billbauman.com. But, if I want to change my send from account to bill@ntur.ai, where I have a signature configured, the image in the signature fails to load. But, if I change my focus to select the inbox for bill@ntur.ai and click "New Message", the default send from account is now bill@ntur.ai, and the image in the signature loads just fine.

The image is publicly hosted and loads fine in any browser: https://images.int.dreamhosters.ai/account-482257/ceb3563cdab64978.jpg

I tried to make this as simple as possible for debugging, so I change the signature to just the image. Here is the code: <title>Email Signature</title>

I am running Thunderbird 147.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I can make a screen recording demonstrating the behavior.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks all in advance!

Help, please! I have a twc.com account operating with Outlook 2007 on an old Dell Win7 laptop. It works great but too many websites refuse to recognize the Win7 machine, so I had to "upgrade". I just got a new Dell Win11 laptop and installed Spectrum email to access twc.com. So far, so good. But I need to access the hundreds of email files and folders from the old Outlook-based twc.com account. Can't export them to Spectrum.net as .pst because only Outlook recognizes that file extension. I do not want Office 365, so I tried installing Office 2024. But it's bundled with Office 365. I even installed an old version of Office 2010. When I tried to set up email with twc.com, I got a popup telling me that I had to get Office 365 to do this. Diabolical.

Enter Thunderbird. I downloaded and installed Tbird. I then attemped to use Tbird to be the client for twc.com. I've tried for several days with no success. First I had Tbird search for my twc.com account. Tbird said:

IMAP Incoming: IMAP, SSL/TLS mobile.charter.net Outgoing: SMTP, SSL/TLS mobile.charter.net Username: [edited]@twc.com

Results were quite different from what Spectrum had told me by phone (see below) but I tried this anyway. Got an error message: "Cannot find the server." etc.

So I tried manual setup using the information provided by Spectrum, as follows:

[edited]@twc.com incoming mail.twc,com outgoingmail.twc,com incoming port 995 outgoing port 587 security type TLS

Got the same error message: "Cannot find the server." etc. I then tried half a dozen different changes: change the security type, etc. Nothing worked.

I really need to succeed with this so that I can access all my email files and folders on one computer (the Win11 model). Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I got an email to attend a meeting. Thunderbird popped up a screen for me to pick where to store the event, Outlook, Google or iCal. I tried all 3 and did not get it added to Thunderbird calendar. Can this be automated?

After providing my existing twc.com email address and other requested information, Thunderbird did a search and came up with "The following settings were found by probing the given server." I used those settings and attempted to create a Tbird-based account. I got this error message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." Which seems odd since Tbird provided those settings by searching the server. What can I do now? I hate to go back to MS Office but I need email and I've spent two days trying to figure this out, including a couple of hours on the phone with Spectrum (they were just as baffled as I am). I still can't use Tbird for email but pls email me at [edited from community support forum] @twc.com and I can access it on my old MS Office computer.

When I try to add my Spectrum email back in Thunderbird, it failing to connect when I enter my password. When I go to spectrum.net, I have no trouble logging in with my password. Whaat do I need to do to add my Spectrum email.

I have been a Thunderbird user since way back in the Netscape days.

(1) I wrote about this a week or two ago.

My "SENT" messages STOP going into the "SENT" folder.

I can reset it by going to Tools / Account Settings / Copies & Folders and pushing the "Other" button & back to the "Sent" folder. Last time, the reset lasted a week or two. I don't know I have the problem until I try to find a sent message and it is not there.

(2) On my Wife's Thunderbird, when she has pushed the "Spam" button for a message in the "Inbox" - The message does go to the "Spam" folder.

How does she mark them as "Not Junk" ?

She marks ALL of the messages she wants back in the "Inbox" - BUT - The messages she has tried to make "Not Junk" continue going to the "Spam" folder the next time received.

My TB 147.0.2 Release channel is using excessive amounts of memory. Below is the memory usage data.

Previously I was on the ESR channel for many years. Also I originally used the Lightning calendar plug.

What I'm seeing is that when TB starts the memory usage is high. If I check at another time on the same day it is sometimes only around 250-350MB.

I've tried suggest options like reducing data in Local Folders (on a separate data drive) but to no avail. As I type now TB memory usage is now only 286.4MB. However rest assured in a while this will jump back to over 3GB and it has an is now 3,151.4MB.

I don't see this on another 2 PCs. One is setup with Locals Folders and the other is just the mail Inbox and sub folders. The only other difference is that the PC with this TB installation also has one Newsgroup server configured.

There surely has to be a bug somewhere causing these excessive memory usages.

For almost 15 years we have been printing emails (they are notification of orders). Probably 75,000 over that time period. Within the last 2 months or so, the second page has stopped printing. I have reinstalled printer drivers and software. Made sure I'm updating Thunderbird to the last release. I have looked at every setting. I tried using another computer and still no luck.

The printer does print the second page from other email apps like gmail and two page orders directly from PayPal etc.

I've spent hours upon hours and I'm out of ideas.

Hi, ich nutze für meine Mails t-online über Thunderbird. Seit gestern kann ich von meinem Laptop auf diesem Wege keine Mail mehr versenden. (Der Eingang funktioniert aber einwandfrei, ich erhalte alle Mails.)

Es erscheint jedes Mal die folgende Meldung, wenn ich eine E-Mail geschrieben habe und auf Senden klicke: Senden der Nachricht fehlgeschlagen. "Fehler beim Senden der Nachricht: SMTP-Server-Fehler. Der Mail-Server antwortete: IP=38.246.32.9 - Your address is blocked.

Vom Handy aus kann ich E-mails reibungslos versenden, vom E-Mail-Center der Telekom aus funktioniert das auch. Ich habe weder Passwörter noch sonstige Zugangsdaten verändert. Die Einstellungen im E-Mail-Center finden Sie im Anhang.

Woran kann es liegen? Schon mal vielen Dank. Elisabeth

I have been using TB for many years so I have many old emails saved in various folders. I am using POP. I now have a different ISP than I had when I first started. When I go back and try to read some of these emails, they are blank. How can I get these back?

I pasted a Tbird troubleshooting log into a conversation on Mozilla, in response to a comment in a discussion thread. Suddenly the Mozilla instructions were in Cyrillic. I don't have any Cyrillic language enabled. Turns out the Mozilla instruction were a warning that my post was too long. That didn't do much good in a language I can't read. How can i prevent a recurrence?

Hi all,

I use SpamAssassin but even "When Thunderbird determines that they are unwanted" has been ticked" no one of my spams are not marked as read ?!?!

This is annoying, is it a bug or something I missed?

What can I do ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards.

I'm about to travel for over three weeks, and I'll be paying for internet usage by the MB most of the time. When I check messages in Thunderbird, I'd like to prevent remote content from loading - I don't need to see all those images and such during that period. The global "Allow remote content in messages" setting is already off, but I have many "exceptions", and I don't want to just delete all the exceptions and start over allowing them one by one after I get home. Ideas?

For some time now many users have actively been requesting a domain based filter in tbird's incoming mail system. Is there some reason why Mozilla considers this the ultimate sin or such? I know that with a few email accounts across different servers not all of them allow me to request the filtering from them. Why not just make an all account filter for the program that refuses to accept anything from "@digitalvoice.skin" if I enable it? It would simplify my daily mail load. I would certainly not worry too much about it deleting things I actually want that are coming in on a daily basis such as this picture:

I bought a new computer, when I set it up one of our email accounts populated (X@cox.net)but the other did not (Y@cox.net). We get our email through yahoo and I can find the mail in Yahoo for Y@cox.net. The emails are showing up on my phone so something is working. how do I get it to populate Thunderbird?

Opened up a Microsoft Office 365 account for emails. Everything worked yesterday. Today I turned my computer on and emails downloaded. Later I tried to send an email and it gave me an error message: Enter your password for [edited]@thechartstore.com on outlook.office365.com: I re-enter the password and it still will not send. I checked to see what password is saved in Thunderbird and it is the correct one. This email is working: [edited]@mymetronet.net for correspondence via email. Thanks for any assistance.
