I have used Thunderbird with Yahoo (email and calendar) for many years. Never had any problems with email syncing, but calendar was always a bit more difficult. At first it was caldav, but around 2023 it stopped working, so I moved to following instructions: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html

This stopped working late last year and never managed to find what the problem is...

Searching for a solution found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1460558

but on reflection, this doesn't work for me (caldav) plus trying to use "Provider for Caldav" I am being told that it is not compatible with my version of Thunderbird (102.11.0 64-bit)

so here is where get to:

Any suggestions please?

A number of times during the day, when I'm on my email account a window interrupts me to verify my account ( photo attached) After I follow all prompts repeatedly over many times a strange series of slashes cross the top of my window and it asks me if I want to go back to my previous last email. I can not proceed with my activity. So I close the computer and wait a couple of hours and try to start up, BUT my password box is filled with dots. I am unable to continue. So I wait longer. When I do get access it all starts over again. Is this you or google doing this? I have been with Thunderbird for years, and I hate the idea of having to go through Google to use you. Yesterday it locked me out of my computer in total. Need help!

Since the last update I find while using Google or Duckduckgo browsers that sites will load or are very slow to load. Not all sites but especially new sites. How to we fix this?

I asked bout this a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a response. Perhaps I asked under the wrong heading. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to these things. Over the holidays I prepared many emails to send afterwards. I created sub-folders in my drafts folder. I sent the emails OK, but then I couldn't delete the folders I created in the drafts folder. Not only that but the folder icons in Drafts turned from yellow to purple and they did that in all four of my email accounts, even though my storage of emails was all in one single account. When I right click on the folders I don't get the option to delete and the folders won't allow being dragged to trash. Also one of the folders suddenly disappeared with all of the prepared email in it. Can you help me correct this condition? Thanks.

Since a couple of weeks, FireFox wil not open all frames locally from my website, but from the Internet it works just fine. When I work with my homepage, I test changes locally before publishing them. It works fine with Chrome, Edge, Brave and other bworsers. It's probably just a setting, but if anything, I have given more permits lately and not made restrictions. Anyway - I cannot find any setting, that should affect this. I have attached two images to illustrate the predicament, I'm in. frames1.png show the way I have organisted my pages. A frame at the top for overall navigation. A frame to the left that navigates the main-pages to the right. If I click on a link in the left pane, the main page no longer changes. frames2.png shows an actual example page. Windows 10 and Firefox latest version.

After migrating my Windows Live Mail (WLM) 2012 email folders to Thunderbird, I saw that the folder names were truncated and not the same long name I had the folder named in WLM. I have been editing the folder names by copying the WLM folder name to my clipboard and then renaming that truncated folder name in Thunderbird by renaming the folder use the CTRL-V (paste from clipboard).

Prior to today after having done the above, the renamed folder in Thunderbird was moved according to its new alphabetical name in the listing, but usually in the same vicinity of folders that I was renaming. Now, the newly renamed folder seems to disappear from the listing. I scrolled through all of the folders from a to z but couldn't find it. Out of desperation, I closed Thunderbird and then reopend it to see if that would refresh my list of folders with those folders I had just renamed. And, sure enough all of those renamed folders are visible and in the correct alphatical place on the list.

Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated!

I want to sync my Thunderbird calendar on my win11 laptop with my new Samsung Z Flip 6 phone. I have a Google calendar on the phone, and I've ticked "Lightning" on it, but I'm not getting my entries transferred from my laptop.

Can anyone help, please?

hello, most probably we went way over what's supposed to be as regards thunderbird folders. one of these folders (with some 5,7 Gb content) finally sort of lost all its subfolders, sub-subfolders and emails. the files are there on the disk, but Thunderbird can't see them anymore. I tried to fix it with the available button, but after 8 hours it was still stuck at the very first step (don't know if there are more, really). also I searched online and found some interesting solutions, among which ne pointed at removing the panacea.dat e global-messages-db.sqlite files in order to force Thunderbird and rebuild its index. I am running v 115 though and there's no panacea.dat here. I wonder if there is any new procedure to get the same result... or else, whatever viable solution that could make me recover the former folders structure. of course, the first thing I would do after recovering would be to simplify the structure and/or reorganise in order for the folders to be less heavy, according to any suggestions of yours... that would be more than welcome :) thanks, kind regards

The 'Sent' file in my 'Mail' folder exceeds 3 GB (3,224,360,399 bytes) and is not being read in the TB Mail window. How can I reduce the size of this file AND save messages???

'Sent' message folder IS searchable!!!

I need help to figure out why Firefox is preventing me from going to websites I have used for a long time. Says it is a security threat. Won't even let me connect to Youtube.com

I need to put all my physics books marks into a physics folder. I created the physics folder without a problem. Then I went into one of my bookmarks and tried to edit the bookmark. It will say physics at the bottom when I switch the folder that bookmark is supposed to go in. But when I go back, the physics bookmark is not in the physics folder

Hello, I am suffering from an odd issue when using twitch.tv. In short, when viewing peoples streams, my video feed will usually turn into colorful static (aka "clown vomit"). I suspect that the issue is coming from Firefox, but I can't be certain. I am using a newly-bought laptop and the issue could be caused by a large number of things, theoretically. Here is what I know:

• When viewing on twitch.tv with quality 360p or higher, the video feed will usually (95%) become colorful static within 1 minute or less. When this happens, the video feed does not ever recover until page is refreshed or quality is changed. (I know a bit about video encoding, so this seems extremely odd to me, if it were due to a networking thing that lost some packets, a full-image frame should come alone sooner or later and fix things, but that never seems to happen)
• The video feed is far less likely to become corrupted when viewing at 160p, but can still happen.
• The ads may become corrupted in the same way that the main video feed can.
• When the feed is corrupted, the rest of the Twitch interface (pause/play, volume, quality select) is extremely laggy.
• When the feed is corrupted, if I pause the stream, sometimes the paused corrupted image is not completely stationary! There will be flickering in small portions of the image, looking similar to texture fighting in 3d rendering, flickering between two equally-but-differently corrupted versions of the image
• The issue never appears when using Chrome to watch twitch.tv. This is what makes me think Firefox is the culprit, not Twitch or networking or graphics drivers.
• Disabling my browser addons does not help.
• Private browsing window does not help.
• Clearing my browser cache does not help.
• I have had the issue happen on Youtube exactly once in 2 weeks, not sure if that's related or not, I think it was a normal "lost some network traffic but fixed itself the next time a full frame was received" thing.
• Video live streams on Youtube don't get corrupted the way they do on Twitch.

Can someone please give me advice for how to fix this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way for me to get deeper under the hood of either Twitch or Firefox and more closely debug the video stream when it fails?

Hello,

I installed Firefox on my Chromebook using the Debian installer. I was able to right click the installer and click install. It's worked really well so far, but the only issue I'm noticing is that MP4 files have no audio and I cannot unmute them. The video plays fine, it's just set to mute and nothing I do will unmute it, including right clicking the video and toggling mute.

An example video that will play, but there is no audio: https://html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/

To be clear, YouTube videos play just fine through Firefox, and the above video video plays fine in Chrome or even via Discord (which I also installed the same way, using the .deb file).

I'm guessing it's an issue related to Linux (maybe there's a codec that isn't available?), but if there is a solution that anyone knows about I'd appreciate it!
