Hi, I’m an employee of the City Office of Biała Podlaska (a local government unit). We have our own mail server set up, based on the OAuth2 (OpenID Connect) authentication mechanism. In our daily work, we use Thunderbird to handle email, and I try to keep it updated from time to time. However, each update comes with a certain inconvenience: after every Thunderbird update, I have to manually add entries about our server to the OAuth2Providers.sys.mjs file.

Is there even the slightest chance that these entries could be included there permanently, just like the entries for other mail servers? I’d be grateful for any feedback on this.

Best regards! Łukasz Najdychor

I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird v 128.7. I can't find an extension or procedure to sync the contacts with google contacts. The Calendar did sync just fine. I tried to install the "gContactsSync" extension, but it says that it does not work with my version of TB (128.7). I tried to do the same with the "google contact sync" extension, but it gives the same error. Anyone got any idea of what will work for veersion 128.7 of TB?

How to get rid of the rectangular highlighted area where ever I click that pops up.

See attached photo.

It is totally annoying!

Also do the same for messages that are always surrounded by this rectangular box annoyance.

Bring back ability for user to select and change these items from the main menu.

Many support articles refer to "preferences" and "options" but both of those are gone as well at least with 137.0.2 version!

This rectangular box is a total annoyance!!!

When compacting local folder in thunderbird I get error message ( The folder trash on local folders could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space [which I do] ,and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.) and nothing will work on thunderbird afterward.

Hello! What settings must I change to force Thunderbird to use my systems' default browser (Firefox) instead of MS Edge? Firefox is default for my Win10 system, and context handling is set to Firefox also. Thanks!

Hello! After donating, I am still hit with campaign prompts through the Update server. How do I stop these (now annoying) messages? Thanks!

I share an "info@" account with a coworker and we tag emails as done when we complete out work. I can tag "done" from my computer and it synchs with her account. When she tags "done" on her computer the tag does not synch in my account.

I should add that this was working fine until we got a new computer for my coworker and reloaded a new version of Thunderbird. Everything else is synching fine.

I think I am missing something in settings?

Thank you in advance!

When I receive an email with double line spacing I can't find a way to alter this to single line spacing. I'd like to be able to change from one to the other at will. M

I went from Chrome to Firefox several months ago when I discovered that Firefox would automatically reopen all open tabs from previous session. I always put my pc in "sleep" mode at night. This morning it wouldn't "wake up" so I held the power button down until it shut down (Windows 11). Then I hit the power button and it started fine. I opened Firefox (Version 333.0) and all my tabs were gone. My wife uses Firefox on her Mac laptop and the same thing happened to her. She put her laptop to sleep last night and this morning all her tabs were gone.

After 3 hours of restoring my tabs, i went to settings and the option for Firefox to reopen all tabs from previous session was grayed out and clicking the circle next to it didn't do anything.

I am assuming this was caused by a Firefox update and am hoping someone has a fix for this. I'd hate to go back to Chrome, but I can't live with spending three hours of each day restoring tabs. I'd appreciate and be eternally grateful for any assistance and fix for this issue.

Thanks!

I support clients who are globally dispersed and so want to have visibility of an alternative time zone in my calendar. This is something I had been able to do both in Gmail/Cal and in Outlook (both web and desktop); the screenshot here is from Outlook.

Is this possible in Thunderbird? I have looked in the settings, as well as the existing support/articles but haven't been able to find anything.

I'm getting junk mail that uses my wife name as the sender. My wife died a year ago and I do not like seeing her name being used this way. Basically, the email (fake billing) has: her name as the sender my email address real sender address (junk/spam name from gmail).

I need to have any email as she being the sender to automatically go to junk and trash.

Please, tell me how I can do this. I'm getting up there in years, so any help and a "how-to do it", I would really appreciate it very much.

I was not able to "see" any way within Thunderbird on how I can do it. BTW- the version of Thunderbird is: 128.9.1esr (64-bit) and my OS is Ubuntu 24.10

Thank you for your time.

With the default settings, it is impossible to open a window without the email tab open. How do I enable this to show just the calendar in its own window. In my workflow, I like to have one window open for my email and a separate window that I keep open with just the calendar. The tab bar is always open when the calendar is open and it's a waste of usable space. Is there a setting to fix this?
