Thunderbird Community Forum

My husband and I have identical Thunderbird installations on identical Windows 7 machines, and for years we have been using 'QuoteAndComposeManager version 0.4.1. This allows us to set a 'pause' of 20 seconds between the time we click on Send and the email actually gets sent (it's amazing how many errors you can find in 20 seconds). This feature is still working fine on my machine, but on his it has been disabled with the message that it is incompatible with Thunderbird 60.3.0.

Two questions here: My update history shows that I am set for automatic updates, but the last one was to version 52.9.1 on 16 July 2018. This probably explains why I can still use the QandCManager, but why are we getting updates at different times?

More importantly, is there some other add-on that we can use to get this time-delay option? I have gone to the original developer's website but he does not seem to have a later version.

Many thanks.

I am virtually certain i was able to easily do this using the import tools on the version of thunderbird I had about a year ago. But Outlook Express is no longer an option when I open the import tool.

I found a solution for windows :

From the Menu Bar select Tools-Options-Display-Advanced

On thunderbird installed on Linux this menu is not present.

After I open an email and/or reply to it, the alert stays on at lower right. I read a great many emails every day at work and having to turn off the alert manually wastes time. How can I set the alert to go off when I've read a new email?

Cox communications has changed their security and, when making the recommended changes, a lock appears on all mail boxes and cannot send nor receive messages. need help!

I need to set up my AOL mail account again in Thunderbird. The instructions (from AOL) say to go to Account Settings, but that buttons isn't where the instructions say it is. I haven't found it anywhere in Mozilla yet. Please advise. Thank you.

I have been working with Telus to try to find out why I cannot send emails even though I can receive them. They have changed my outgoing information and now I get an message saying out going server SMTP failed because connect to SMTP failed.

I want to add email addresses from incoming emails to my addressbook. Using Thunderbird 31.6.0. Takes too long to do it one at a time. Any thoughts on how to do it?

Outlook, Groupwise and Pegasus(freeware) allows editing of received e-mails. Thunderbird had plug-in that is not working with curent version. WHY NOT make it standard feature of Thunderbird??? Please do it. If others can do it, why cannot Thunderbird not do it?

Nothing further to add

Lets say I want to write to Larry.Smith at xyz corp. If I star to type in Lar I get every Larry I've known for 10 years. I want to be able to weed out and eliminate those names that are no longer relevant to me. How can I do this so that only the most recent names pop up? Can you tell me how to do this?

Hello. Thuderbird has been acting strangely for a few days, lots of Not Responding messages and then it sorts itself out. But now, when I open an ordinary e-mail, it opens up in a Send window! With the message which you will find in the attached Image. My version = 128.1.1 esr (64 bit) Lenovo Laptop Windows 10 Grateful for any help folks.

Please help!!!

I have spent the last TWO HOURS trying to find an answer to what should be a simple problem, and it seems not to exist!

I need to find out WHERE Firebird lists my email account PASSWORD.

I do NOT want to reset my password.

I simple need to know WHAT my password is, and since I set up the account [actually a few accounts] several years ago, my notes are evidently null and void, because none of those passwords seem to work.

My email is through verizon.net, which is one of the problems because they gave all of their email coltrol to AOL, which thouroughly sucks, and they seem not to have anyone who speaks fluent English who can assist me in FINDING the current password!

If ANYONE can help, it would be most greatly appreciated!!

I use k-9 email on android phone and tbird on desk top.

I have messages on K9 I need to read on desktop but the don't appear on tbird client even though they are clearly visible on k-9

I tried to forward it but even tho k9 appears to send it is not delivered when I look in tBird

I need attachement.

Trying to setup a new mail account in Thunderbird, it finds the configuration in Mozilla ISP database (POP3) but does accept the password. Yet I can setup OK Yahoo Mail with same address and password
