New TB user here. I sent myself some pictures from my phone, 5 or 6. I have the email on my laptop, but the images are firstly huge and go way off the screen, secondly I can't find a way to easily save them all at once. I have to scroll and right click each one and save as. Weirdly when I right cilck there's an option to "select all", great! so I chose that to select all, then right clicked and saved again. It didn't save all, just the one I clicked on?! I'm sure there must be a better way to save all attachments/images, hopefully someone can advise thanks

Until tonight I have been able to move a tab for an open message to a different position.

I like to group similar emails together, or put an important one as the first or second rather than the 10th, especially if I have to go away to research a reply.

Am I missing something, I used to be able to click on the tab then drag it along to the position I wanted. Now it won't move at all.

I've explored some of the menus, but none seem to have another way to do it.

For some reason, whenever I have multiple tabs open in Thunderbird, it will seemingly randomly open a new window, interrupting whatever I'm doing. What seems to happen is that the new window will contain the tab I was working with (address book, settings, etc.) and a tab for my mail, but that mail tab will have switched to a different mailbox. And then the new window that opened behind the other one will have a tab for my mail focusing on whichever mailbox was selected before.

This is driving me absolutely crazy! It keeps interrupting what I'm doing and makes me anxious to do anything in any tabs in Thunderbird. I need to fix it!

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?

For example this page, https://yle.fi/a/3-11868513 , causes my Firefox to go unresponsive for maybe 10-20 seconds at a time, when scrolling up and down. Windows works fine. It's not the only one, I have found some other on that same news site, which use the same kind of construct for a page that contains both video and text.

When I open Firefox in troubleshooting mode, page works fine. But in normal mode, even if I disable all my extensions (except search engines), page still hangs.

On the other hand, I haven't encountered this kind of behaviour in normal mode in any other pages or sites. So it may be something very spesific that site uses on those particular pages. So it is a minor problem but because disabling all extensions did not help, I thought it might be worth bringing up.

Hi, IMAP Mail. My Domain Host sent out an e mail to update the server settings. I did it on one machine and immediately got this error. I went back to the old settings and things worked as they should. After about 5 hours with the online chat help and having added 4 CNAME records at their request things were still the same. They then said I need to pay $60 for a third party vendor to log onto my machine and find the issue. This point really got my back up. I added a new account using the all new settings and this one saves by default in the Local Folders. I added the account details to my works e mail which is in Outlook by company policy and it runs well with the settings they Domain Host provided. I have other machines still running the older settings that also seem to run just fine. I have tried to point the save location to the sent mail folder under the account that's having trouble and still it says no box yet when checking properties I see it has a server address. That is imap://****%40****.com@netsol-imap-oxcs.hostingplatform.com/INBOX/Sent The * are inserted by me to cover my e mail address. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm running FF 115.8.0esr on MacOS High SIerra 10.13.6. (desktop). I generally sleep the computer rather than shutting down each day.

The problem - If I have restarted the computer or restarted FF, I can play video and audio OK. Mostly I will find that I can still play for a day or so (even having slept the computer). Then they stop. Opening a new window or a private window doesn't help, the only solution is to restart FF or the computer. All the while, I can get the same video/audio to play on Safari, and Apple iTunes is fine too. It doesn't matter what the source is - YT, Spotify BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds and so on.

Would really like some help on this!

Pubmed Central (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/) is a commonly used website for literature reading in life sicences research. I found that it takes a lot of time to load the PMC web page, and even worse to access an aricle in it, always more than 10 seconds (for example, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1234567/). These pages access smoothly in other browsers on my computer (MacBook Pro with M1, macOS Sonoma 14.0). I've tried the troubleshoot mode, and clearing all the cookies and cache, but it just doesn't work.

Hoping to get some useful feedback on this!

Recently, when I click on Get Messages to download email from Comcast server I receive error messages. One error shows "Login to server mail.comcast.net with username X?X?X failed. Retry, Enter New Password, Cancel".. Second error shows "Sending of passwowrd for user X?X?X did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: [AUTH] Temporarily blacklisted IP Address - try again later" I spoke with Comcast tech support and they, of course, gave me the standard line that I was using a 3rd Party App for email and they could not support that and I could instead use the email on line at my Comcast account site utilizing the antiquated Comcast mail options. They finally attempted to help and after they researched the issue they suggested I change the Server Name setting form 'MAIL.COMCAST.NET' to 'IMAP.COMCAST.NET' and changed port from 995 to 993. I tried making those changes and was not receiving the error statements. But I also was not seeing ANY email downloaded or message indicating TBird was login in the Comcast server. I then changed the Server Name back to 'MAIL.COMCAST.NET' and port back to 995. TBird then correctly downloaded dozens of emails. When I tried to same thing the next day, though, the error problems had returned. Finally, I was looking at Tools>Account Settings and selected Add-ons and Themes in left pane. I noticed Bitdefender Toolbar was enabled under Extensions so I tried switching it to disabled. Voila, the program would once again download emails. But a short time later another try to Get Messages resulted in the errors again. Can anyone answer with changes to connect properly to Comcast for email? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start new Windows session. Start Thunderbird and works OK. Shut Thunderbird down and try to re-start during same Windows session and it will not launch. Reboot Windows and try to start Thunderbird and works OK. Alternatively, going into Task Manager there will be a number of Thunderbird processes running. If I manually end them all (while Thunderbird is NOT active) then I can restart as normal too. This all began with 124.0 Beta 1. Never had the issue prior.

Also, Thunderbird crashes if restarting within the app. By this I mean clicking the X it appears to close (excepting those persistent processes running) but "Restart Thunderbird" such as to launch Troubleshooting mode or from the "Restart to update Thunderbird" config crashes the app with 100% consistency.

Is there anything I can do or change ? I have literally spent almost trying various things and I am the point of giving up and trying a completely different email client. There should be a seamless migration method but it appears there is not.
