Thunderbird Forum podrške

I use Thunderbird POP3 on my PC and iPhone. When I delete a message from my iPhone, it is almost instantly deleted from the server. When I delete a message from my PC, it isn't deleted from the server. I want messages I delete on both PC and iPhone to result in the message being deleted from the server.

Inbox messages are not marked as read automatically when displayed in the Message Pane. This started happening in rel 102.8, and continues in rel 102.9.

The Setting is set to 'Automatically mark messages as read - immediately on display'.

Is there anything to done?

I am using Thunderbird and love it except for a few problems that I cannot find the solutions for because my mac version 102.9 does not have the preference panel or an option menu so there is no composition panel.

I want to be able to pick a font size for sending mail and for receiving mail. And I want to be able to stop the spacing to double space when I manually hit the return key.

My iMac uses the software 12.3.1, Monterey. I do not have an "ALT" key since it is a Mac computer. I have tried "OPTION" and "CONTROL" and both at the same time but those don't change anything or give me any options.

I would appreciate some help please.

Thank you, Martha

I upgraded my version from 68 to 102. Everything went great until I went to my address book and it was empty. I has 3 books and all are empty. How do I recover them. I know the abook.mab have my info because when I open it up in notepad I see my info..

I have tried coping the profile to a different location and then importing the address books from the copied profile location. It did bring in the address books names but the address books are stile empty. Help please...

Tbird tries to save a lengthy email as a draft, I assume after a certain about of time passes, but fails to do that and I have to keep acknowledging the failed draft save in order to continue.

I never save drafts and don't want it doing this. It just started doing this after the latest update. I have four accounts and it only does it with one account, although I don't write time-consuming emails with the other accounts, so maybe it would do the same.

This account has another problem, too. It doesn't save a sent email in the sent folder for this account. The other three accounts all do, and all the settings look the same. Again, this happened after the latest update. I'll have to change email clients if this isn't resolved as I need to retain copies of sent email from this account. That would be sad for me, as I've used TBird for probably 15 years or thereabouts.

Hello. I think I am a little out of my league with this. I have set up Thunderbird and I believe that all of the information is correct, but Thunderbird just "Times out" Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

My aim is to save the email of three years ago (all but some folders) and then remove from the server (i use IMAP, Thunderbird 102.7.1 on Ubuntu).

I was a long time user of the Evolution mail client and I was used to programmatically (python script at bash level) to create a directory with a lot of mbox files (one for each mail folder), then I archived it in a DVD.

I use Thunderbird in two accounts plus the local-folders, so pressing "archive" in thousands of different mail is not feasible.

I'm looking for a solution that take the starting date, the final date, and the list the folder involved (or the ones to skip): is there a function, a sequence of commands, or an add-on to do that?

Thanks

I have set up a few filters, which have been set for many years and worked fine. But recently I set up a new one for payslips, and it only ever works when run manually. I tried changing classification, Subject matter and all other rules, but it refuses to work at anytime except manually.

I have successfully used thunderbird for years, but cannot add my gmail account. I read the google and TB docs. I have tried this several times. I must be doing something wrong, but not clear to me…

First, I did gmail steps:

1) log into gmail using gmail.com email address and gmail password 2) click on Setting “gear” in upper right 3) click on “see all settings” 4) click on “forwarding and pop/imap” tab 5) verify that “enable imap” is checked. Says “status: imap is enabled”

Then, I did thunderbird steps:

6) clear error log. click File / New / Existing Mail Account 7) enter 3 items: my name, full gmail.com email address, and gmail password 8) check “remember password” 9) click “continue” 10) TB says “configuration found in mozilla isp database” 11) IMAP option already checked 12) click blue “done” button

Then, there were some google popups:

13) in google popup, gmail address already entered, clicked “next” 14) next popup, enter same gmail password from step 1, click “sign in” 15) receive phone call for google 2-step verification and enter code 16) next popup says “mozilla thunderbird email wants to access …” 17) popup has 3 items: email, contacts, and calendar. click “allow”

Finally, back at thunderbird, it says in a yellow box: “Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password”. So fails to work.

I accessed settings / privacy / passwords / saved passwords. The list is empty. "Use a primary password" is not checked.

In case helpful, here are the messages in the error console resulting from one attempt (steps 1 to 17), with my gmail address blanked out:

Does anyone know how this could happen?

see: Thunderbird not sending with Gmail POP3 SOLVED

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408429

See 21 March.

Well, after I thought I had fixed my Problem, I got a big surprise. A friend came by and I was explaining what I did so we had a look at the Account Settings. When I pulled up the SMTP settings I noticed that the Port selection had been changed back to 587. I checked the other Gmail accounts and they too had reverted to 587. Bear in mind, I had previously changed all the accounts SMTP ports to the default, 465. Now, the question is, “How did the ports revert to 587. 587 is the port chosen when Thunderbird sets up a gmail account even though it shows the default as 465. Does anyone know how this could happen? Joe

I always had notification of unread emails on the Dock of my Mac, but this does not work anymore. I am running 102.9.0 (64 bit). I have seen other posts on this, but no credible answers as to why it has ceased to function and what is being done to fix it?

Everything on my Mac used to have System Preferences for Apps and now even Thunderbird seems to be 'Settings' which is not as easily usable or as well organised as, System Preferences used to be.

It strikes me that more and more computer Apps are suffering from more work all the time in order to use an App by virtue of having to click on more and more menus all the time and using up more and more time, which is not particularly creative.

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to post about this issue.

Just installed Thunderbird Beta 112.0b3 (64-bit) a couple of days ago, getting the feel of this one and doing OK, but found an issue.

Buttons (screenshot supplied) are not working (not taking me anywhere) except for the calendar one, which works OK

Any feedback or instructions to correct this would be appreciated.

Regards, Jay

Hey Guys,

can i use the thundernest/policy-templates/ to automatically set up a User Account in a 2019 Windows Domain?

when an employee in our company logs on to a computer, he should automatically get his mailbox connected in thunder bird for firstname.lastname@company . de firstname.lastname is identical to the windows username can this be implemented with your group guidelines if so how?

if not is there an official solution for this i have not found anything.

best wishes

Hi! Yes I've seen and tried the advise on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 and also tried thunderbirds debug mode but still: on every start Thb ist asking me in several windows for the google user name and password BUT: the gmail-account and the cardbook extension is working fine. It's just that annoying question (I simply hit escape on it). Kind regards, Markus

When I launch Thunderbird IMAP, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but gets stuck indexing/synchronizing. Here’s what I’ve tried:

A. In Thunderbird 1. Rebuild the Global Database

2. Rebuild the INBOX.msf file

B. In ESET Antivirus, Assign Exclusions for Thunderbird 1. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and there are two: (1) C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird, and (2) C: Program Files(x86)\ Mozilla Maintenance Service.

2. Go to SETUP > advanced > web and email > protocol filtering > excluded applications > edit, C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe.

3. Go to SETUP > advanced > email client protection > email protocols, and disable (turn OFF) the IMAP and IMAPS protocols.

4. You have to also exclude the Thunderbird Profiles Folder. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and navigate to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\

5. Restart the computer.

C. When I launch Thunderbird, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but hangs at indexing/synchronizing.

1. The above steps should be enough to resolve the issue if it’s caused by ESET program or settings, according to ESET tech support.

2. To verify whether the issue is being caused by ESET program or ESET settings, I uninstalled ESET and ran Thunderbird in an attempt to reproduce the issue. The issue persists with ESET uninstalled. Therefore the problem is not ESET. So I reinstalled ESET. If you do use ESET for antivirus be sure to assign the above exclusions.

D. Is there a way for me to pay someone for telephone tech support or a way for me to go back to v91?

1) In my internet search about what are .mozmsgs folders, I read that they are related to a Windows search function. However I am no longer using Windows, but a Mac. Does that mean they are redundant and I could delete them?

Background: I am moving my Thunderbird profile from the iMac to my Macbook when traveling. And afterwards I am moving it back. I seem to have lost mails from earlier years but just found them on the Macbook. For some reason the synchronization did not transfer all the subfolders. The strange thing is that the iMac (which did not show the older mail folders) has lots of .mozmsgs folders, while the Macbook (which showed the older mails) does not. I am using only POP never IMAP.

2) I organize my mail folders in yearly folders. After some years, when I am less likely to looking things up, I move the year folders into an archive folder. I do this inside of Thunderbird. Now I just noticed that I have empty .sbd and .mozmsgs folders in the original location (zero bites). Again I am wondering if these folders are redundant and could be deleted?

Thanks!

To clarify what I mean in my title: I've set up a message filter that is supposed to search in the body that contains a word. I know the word is in the body, but yet the filter is not being triggered.

I have tried a different word that has spaces before and after and it seems to work, so I guess that's the problem, but how can I allow thunderbird to work when there's different characters before or after the word also?
