Hallo, kürzlich habe ich einen neuen PC (Windows 11 - Androit) in Betrieb genommen. Seitdem gibt es immer wieder Schwierigkeiten beim Versenden meiner E-Mails. Ich werde ständig aufs Neue aufgefordert den Benutzernamen und das Passwort einzugeben. Wenn ich das tue, und das Gewünschte eingebe und absende, erscheint kurz danach die gleiche Aufforderung, das Gleiche könnte ich endlos wiederholen. Mein E-Mail wird dann aber trotzdem versandt. Was mache ich falsch und wie kann ich das ändern. Vielen Dank für Hilfe MfG Horst Kniepmeier

Using the Spell checker in long test the cursor gets behind the popup window of the Spell checker. I know this was _no_ problem in further vcersions. Please change it! So I have to close the window to find the caursor and restart the Spell checker

Neither plain-text nor HTML-signatures are being removed in replies, even though they are at the bottom of the email i'm replying to, prepended by the default -- tag on a dedicated line, as is the standard. I double checked that mail.strip_sig_on_reply is set to true. This happens on two separate accounts configured on my client. Thunderbird Version 140.6.0esr on Tuxedo OS (equivalent to Ubuntu 24.04)

Hello,

I love Thunderbird, but I have recently moved to use a Android device for most of my work, and despite that there is now Thunderbird for Android, I found that there is a feature I really need but it is not working there: moving mails across different accounts. I work daily with four different accounts and sometimes I need to move some threads from to another. I had to move to a different email reader because of that, but I would really love to come back to Thunderbird.

Best regards, Patricia.

When I receive an event invite and I accept it Thunderbird only gives me the option to save the event to a local calendar and not to any shared calendars located remotely on a NAS. Is there a way to have Thunderbird also display the remote calendars? And after I accept an event is there a way to move the accepted event to a different calendar? Thank you for your inputs in advance!

My mom has been using thunderbird since 2015 like me on a debian based linux distro. I upgraded her PC lately. I double backed her .thunderbird account by copying her .thunderbird folder and using export to an external drive. It took an unusually long time to do this. Her email account is setup to use smtp but she has >1GByte size mapi folder. After getting the new PC up and running, only the smtp email is showing up. How can I access the email in her mapi folder?

Hello, I am trying to send and email with script and 2 photos but every time I try to send it I get a very quick flash of a small box with writing in it but it disappears right away, and my email is not sent. Why is this happening and how can I correct it so my email will actually be sent?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Jean.

Can anyone please explain why, when I type an email and use Bold, Underline, paragraphs etc the program actually changes some text to symbols like asterisks & underscore symbol instead of underline etc that I did not enter and in general makes the body of the email look terrible when it is sent and printed out. I have tried typing the message in Word first and then copying to the email but it still seems to change it when the email is sent. Does anyone know why and can this be fixed? The last couple of emails I have had to prepare in Word, save as pdf documents and then send as attachments and this is a long and tedious process just to send an email message even if it is a long message. Thank you.

I’m running Thunderbird 147.0.1 (64-bit) on both my desktop and laptop, both using Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.7705). I’m trying to highlight sent (outgoing) messages where the correspondent and recipient are different (i.e., not sending to myself). When this condition is met, I want the subject line to appear green. My logic is: • Match outgoing mail where the correspondent column contains one of my addresses • Exclude rows where the recipient column also contains one of my addresses • Apply formatting only to the subject column tr:has(

   td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@pm.me"],
   td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@protonmail.com"],
   td.correspondentcol-column[title*="@passinbox.com"]

):not(

   :has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@pm.me"]),
   :has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@protonmail.com"]),
   :has(td.recipientcol-column[title*="@passinbox.com"])

) td.subjectcol-column {

 color: var(--tb-green) !important;
 font-weight: 600 !important;
 background-color: #e8f5e9 !important;

} Same Thunderbird version, same Windows build, same CSS file, same mail account structure. Is there something on the desktop system that could prevent this from working? For example: • about:config setting related to CSS • Layout or column differences affecting selectors • Rendering engine differences between installations • UI density / table layout mode differences My expectation is that this logic should behave identically on both systems, so I suspect a configuration or UI state difference. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thunderbird finds my account using my email address and password, shows my account configurations and when I hit done to finish it gives me the following error:

Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration username or password.

Even though Thunderbird already lets me access 4 other emails I own at snet.net. I am able to get on that snet.net account at yahoo with the same credentials I give to Thunderbird.

I've tried everything in suggestions. Emptied saved passwords. removed and reinstalled. Server settings confirm "successfully established a secure connection....". new password isn't accepted. I DO NOT have 0Auth2 option in Authentication Method. What have I missed?

Hello there - I just changed my gmail password. I deleted the existing Thunderbird account for that gmail and created a new one. I accept the imap discovery and get the login error because it appears to be using my old gmail password. How do I get thunderbird to allow me to update the password to send for authentication? Thank you!!

Since I upgraded to version 140.7.1esr (64-bit) Eclipse, I have been getting intermittent problems with sending emails. My settings for Thunderbird are to not remember passwords between sessions. When I send an email the first time in a session the supply of the password to the prompt is fine and the email is sent. But when I then send another email I get the invalid password prompt. If I use Enter New Password and put in the correct password the sending still fails. Sometimes if I delay and resend the message which has been saved, the process does work.

Hi,

I had to re-install Thunderbird on my computer. I had it all working until Jan. 27th when all of the sudden most of my email accounts started giving a timeout error message. I have tried numerous setting changes and combinations, rechecked by passwords and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling again. Nothing is working. The accounts affected are gmail, yahoo, and aol accounts. I shut off my anti-virus software, and okayed thunderbird for accessing these accounts. Not sure what else to try, so thinking maybe it was a change with the mail servers and how they let thunderbird access them. Are they now denying the use of third party servers.

Hello! The other day everything worked as usual, and I shut down the computer for the night. The next morning, Thunderbird immediately crashed/shut down when starting each of the 2 profiles I always use. The 3rd profile, which is the default-release running a different email, still seems to work normally. Thunderbird 115.10.1

I have tried Windows (10) safe mode, as well as thunderbird Troubleshoot mode and working offline, but the issue continued to occur.

I'm at a loss now as to what could cause 2 profiles to suddenly cause it to crash. By the way, one profile is for a gmail account and the other one is for an Outlook account, so they don't seem to be related.

In case it helps, there were 2 Microsoft Visual C++ programs installed or updated, and updates to Microsoft 365 and Google Drive just before the problem started. These were all auto updates in the background.

Any help from the Community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
