Today is 01.16.2026 Hi Volunteers, thank you for the service you are providing Thunderbird users.

I didn't see a topic called Security, so I chose Settings.

For Thunderbird version 146, what specific version of LDAP is being used?

Regarding which LDAP version is the most up to date, I found this: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-ldap/ldap/v3@v3.4.12

My concern is about LDAP's security. I believe it is reasonable to think that the latest available version of LDAP would have the latest and most up to date security patches applied.

I would like to feel secure knowing I have the protection of the newest version of LDAP which affords the best security protection available for Thunderbird laptop version 146.

However I have been unsuccessful in determining if Thunderbird 146 is using this LDAP latest version. Could you help me learn if Thunderbird 146 is utilizing the latest version of LDAP that is available? Thanks in advance.

Yes I know I am a bit verbose.

About sender display specifications and phishing scam risk in Thunderbird for Android

Dear Thunderbird Development Team

I'm a regular Thunderbird user. I'd like to provide feedback regarding security concerns regarding the UI specifications of the Android version of Thunderbird.

Currently, Thunderbird for Android displays the sender's "display name only" on the email list screen, making the sender's actual email address invisible at all times.

I feel this specification increases the following risks, particularly in smartphone environments:

- Anyone can freely forge display names. - Phishing scams posing as financial institutions, e-commerce sites, and official support are common. - Users often rely on the list screen or notifications to determine the content of emails.

As a result, a UI that makes it difficult to determine whether an email is from a legitimate sender at the list screen level can become a breeding ground for phishing scams.

The PC version of Thunderbird allows for detailed header display, etc., and I'm disappointed that the mobile version of Thunderbird, despite being the same Thunderbird, is at a disadvantage in terms of security.

I would appreciate it if you could consider the following improvements.

- Setting to always display "display name + email address" on the email list screen

This is not the first time you have sent an email to me indicating I should "View all sites where your info is exposed", and each time I receive your emails the sites you suggest are sites I have never seen before, let alone logged into with a password.

I use a Password Organizer Book, with all of my logins and passwords for each site I use. I do not use a password app, and have NEVER used a password app. Each time I go to the website you suggest, It's always a site I have never seen before so it would be impossible to login and change the password. I always check my Password Organizer Book to make sure.

I don't know what you want me to do since I cannot login to the website you are suggesting. Is there action I should be taking? I don't know what it would be, but if you know please let me know.

Hello,

I have saved message templates that I use. Each one also has a footer (which I save as an .html file).

When I use this template to send a message, the image in the footer doesn't load and I get the message: Thunderbird has blocked the file from loading in this message.

When I click UNBLOCK, nothing happens. The image still doesn't get added. It's a very small image from my footer/signature. 'When I compose a new message, I don't have this problem' – the image in the footer loads and is sent to the recipient. This problem occurs when I try to send a message saved in the templates. There's no way to "unblock the image" and send it.

02 Oct. 2025

Recently, some automatic updates were made to my Dell desktop. I assume they were updates to the Windows 11 OS.

The updates also caused some changes to my Thunderbird e-mails. The incoming e-mails are formatted differently. I used to get a message, saying that "remote content" in some incoming e-mails had been blocked. I was given the option to show remote content in the incoming e-mail. Now, I no longer have the option to "show remote content".

Please tell me how I can recover the option to "show remote content" on incoming e-mails.

Thank you.

Yesterday there was a 4 hour outage at AOL. I use Thunderbird to access my AOL account. When I discovered the outage, I check my Windows 10 hard drive where my Thunderbird emails are stored and it was empty. Not only was my INBOX empty but every saved folder, delete folder, trash folder, etc. Once AOL was operational, all of my emails reappeared on my hard drive. Everything appears to have been recovered without me doing anything. My question is: who has the ability to delete files from my hard drive without me specifically doing so either manually or through the Thunderbird app?

Hello, I've come across a rather strange problem. I have a phplist mailing list (on domain1). When sending emails, I usually also add an image (as a link to the image). Since the beginning of June, however, I've noticed that Thunderbird doesn't display the images added in this way. Instead of the image, it displays an empty frame (a completely empty frame without any tags). Even if "Allow remote content in messages" is checked in the settings. Other email clients (outlook, gmail, roundcube) have no problems and display images without any problems. However, if I put the image on another domain (domain2) and put a link to this image in the email, Thunderbird also displays it. So: it doesn't display the image from domain1, where I have the mailing list, but it displays the same image from domain2 (in the same email from the same mailing list from domain1). Is it possible that Thunderbird is blocking the display of images from a certain domain?
