Is there a faster way to allow images in incoming messages? Manually copying email addresses to Tools/Settings/Exceptions is a chore when processing a lot of mail every day. If there's maybe an extension/add-on that would be great, though I can't find one.

Many thanks

if I type a hyperlink into the Calendar description field it does not link to the url.

The mouse pointer does not change from a cursor to a pointy hand when I hover over it

I have also tried using the 'Link' button and that creates a blue/underlined url like a traditional clickable link but the result is the same as before.

Please help troubleshoot the problem, at the moment I'm having to copy and paste every link which becomes tedious when there are lots of links

Thanks

I am not able to send emails I have checked all my SMTA settings I am running version 147 and this just began on 1/26. I have turned off anti virus, run in safe mode and nothing works. I can send emails from my phone and using the provider webmail but not on my laptop. This is the msg I get

' Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) promail.ptd.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

After installing thunderbird, It takes me hours to figure out that my fonts are too small because of one value in Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts > Advanced > Fonts for Other writing systems gives a too small number.

It seems insane and I don't think users can easily get there. Maybe some users want to set different fonts for different languages and the "Fonts for ..." is for them. However, for most users who just want to change their font size, I don't think it's a good experience to going so deep and find an option in the loooong "Fonts for ..." list.

So please give users a simple option where I can just set my font size without such pain.

I know there's a font size option in TB menu but it doesn't work as expected. In my case, the font size shown in TB menu is 16 while the font size of my plain text emails is 12. And 1. email font sizes will change to TB menu size as long as TB menu font size is not 16. For example, when changing TB menu font size 15 -> 16 -> 17, email text just suddenly goes from 15 to as small as 12, and then from 12 to 17. 2. email font size seems changing with the TB menu font size. However, email text font size will go back to what it was when open another email.

In einer frischen Thunderbird-Installation (getestet mit 140 ESR und 147) funktioniert der manuelle globale Abruf per Shift + F5 nicht mehr für POP3-Konten.

Konkret: – POP3-Konten sind korrekt eingerichtet – „Beim Starten auf neue Nachrichten prüfen“ aktiv – „Alle X Minuten auf neue Nachrichten prüfen“ aktiv (z. B. 2880 Minuten) – Thunderbird ist online

Erwartetes Verhalten: Shift + F5 bzw. „Alle Konten abrufen“ prüft die POP3-Konten und holt neue Nachrichten ab (wie in früheren Versionen).

Tatsächliches Verhalten: – Shift + F5 bewirkt gar nichts – Kein Abruf, keine Fehlermeldung, keine Statusanzeige – Gleiches Verhalten bei „Alle Konten abrufen“

Wichtig: Der Abruf funktioniert sofort, wenn man per Rechtsklick gezielt ein einzelnes POP3-Konto → „Nachrichten abrufen“ auswählt.

Das zeigt, dass – Server erreichbar sind – Konten korrekt konfiguriert sind – das Problem ausschließlich den globalen manuellen Abruf betrifft

Zusätzlich scheint Shift + F5 inzwischen nur noch Konten zu berücksichtigen, die für den automatischen Abruf vorgesehen sind, wobei dies selbst bei gesetzten Haken nicht zuverlässig funktioniert. Dieses Verhalten ist weder dokumentiert noch für den Benutzer nachvollziehbar.

Fazit: Der bisher etablierte Workflow „manuell alle POP3-Konten abrufen“ ist in aktuellen Thunderbird-Versionen faktisch nicht mehr nutzbar. Für langjährige POP3-Nutzer ist das eine massive Verschlechterung der Bedienbarkeit.

Ist dieses Verhalten beabsichtigt (Designentscheidung) oder handelt es sich um eine Regression? Falls beabsichtigt: Warum gibt es keinen Ersatz für den früheren selektiven/globalen Abruf?

No messages show up in the inbox. If I run Thunderbird in troubleshot mode all the messages in the inbox show up. I suspect it might be something regarding filtering, but I do not know how to turn filtering off. Help.

Thunderbird 147.0esr Email arrives. I open it It has the usual 'view this thread' link I click that link waterfox opens all of my home pages.....not the email I have disabled all add ons, in both thunderbird and waterfox....I have changed profile in waterfox & synced with firefox.

I run my BTinternet mail account via Thunderbird and would like to run my two Gmail accounts via Thunderbird too. Do I just do that by clicking on the + New Account button, please? I'd hate to lose access to my BT mail by doing that. (Switched to Thunderbird from Outlook a year ago and have never regretted it!

My previous computer crashed and got a new one (Win 11 of course - new for me).

I downloaded Thunderbird. With the help of an Earthlink (my email) tech, all but one of my emails (gmail) were entered. Then I downloaded and began reading them.

The first thing I noticed was the Next and Previous buttons are missing (or placed where I don't see them).

The second thing I noticed is that when I click on one email to read, all the emails in the respective Inbox also open. This is very annoying.

I also hope someone can tell me the info I need to add a gmail account. (I rarely use it, but there two websites which require a gmail email to log on.)

And I had made a T-bird "backup" but haven't used it yet. I'd like to IF I can locate it.

P.S. Is it possible to shut off the AI "help" while writing this. I find it annoying, slows me down.

On new computer. I went to Add-ons and searched for Imogies/Emojies, etc., but nothing comes up. I hoped to have the set I had as an add-on on previous computer (which crashed - had to start from scratch).

If anyone knows how to get it, I'd appreciate knowing. I loved using it.

(I know about "Win." - but that doesn't have nearly as many emogies as the Add-on.)

On January 1 my desktop version stopped downloading my GMAIL but my other non gmail are still downloading

I use Windows 10 and the version of Thunderbird is 147.0 64 bit

What can I do to fix this?

Just after installation, and before going any further like adding the email account, ; google: Error 400 "the server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know"

Hi I was using TB 142 without problems. When upgrading to 143 ou 144.B4 I have problems sending mails to all users after some times. Usually the first mails are sent immediatly but after around 10 mails, I have very slow response (varies from 5 sec to more than 1 minute and sometimes timeout). Usually quitting TB solves the problem but this is very annoying. I went back to 140LTS and sems to have no longer this problem. This was tested on many diffrent networks. I am running under Fedora release 42

Thanks

My question is, whether or not the android Thunderbird will interact with the windows Thunderbird I have on my laptop. On my laptop, I have Thunderbird redirect emails into various folders. On my cellphone, I'm currently using Fairemail but it's not aware of those folders on my laptop which is a problem when doing a search on my cell for a specific email, if the email I'm looking for has migrated to those folders on the laptop. Thanks in advance, Phil
