I've added 1 Gmail account and 2 outlook accounts on thunderbird today. Thunderbird synced Google calendar and contacts, but it failed to do the same for the Outlook accounts. It did not detect outlook calendar and contacts. Kindly help me to fix the issue.

Hi,

I am creating a thunderbird extension for cryptography. My JavaScript code contains libraries such as tweetnacl, crystals-kyber and crypto-browserify. I bundled my code using browserify in hopes of getting it working within thunderbird. My code is working when run within VScode using node.js.

I encounter the error that 'webcrypto' is undefined. I assume this means that thunderbird cannot support webcrypto, which I think crypto-browserify is reliant on.

Is there any way to get webcrypto and therefore crypto-browserify working within thunderbird? Or alternatively are there any alternative thunderbird-compatible libraries that can perform the same functions? This would need to include Key Derivation Functions for example.

Thanks

cloned my old good SSD to a bigger one, everything works just fine but Thunderbird new mail composition font is stuck on Bold no matter what I try. Any solutions, please? thank you, Rad.

Hi,

TB 115.8.1 on OpenSUSE 15.5, rpm based install. KDE/Plasma.

Had to install MS EDGE, as unfortunately one urgently needed device's firmware based webserver works only very restricted with Firefox. Firefox is defined as default browser. And is used by every apps, except TB.

-> TB opens every link in MS Edge, now. Which is definitively NOT want I want :)

Found this link (German): https://www.torstenkelsch.de/blog/2022/internet/emailclients/den-webbrowser-in-thunderbird-aendern/ which descibes the as it should work way, setting file type based rules for "file type" 'http'. Or also this: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/hyperlinks-nachrichten-funktionieren-nicht

-> No entry exists for "http", so no settings possible.

network.protocol-handler.external-default was and is still set to TRUE

As "file type" is missing, searched and found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1330147 which is from 2021:

-> Checked that in fact there's no entry for "http" in my profile's "handlers.json"

As the last mentioned article is pretty old, 3 years, and archived, my questions:

-> is the missing "http" file type a bug? If so, TB in general or specific to my OpenSUSE based version? If so, I report this for OpenSUSE (only) -> If not a bug: Is editing "handlers.json" still the only way to solve this? -> As there's no entry for http, and Firefox is used by all other apps: Why/how is TB calling Edge instead?

Thanks in advance, Michael

When I reply to a message TB adds Re: at the start of the subject line. I have always found this annoying and have to delete Re: Is there any way I can stop it adding the Re: ?

Hello, I've been happily using Thunderbird for a long time with TB set to start up in Settings/Apps/Start up. However, this has recently stopped working - when i turn off the computer and turn it on again, Settings/Apps/Startup has TB turned off! I also have it in shell:startup. Any ideas how to stop it turning off?

Hi, I got problem with fonts in Thunderbird. I set all fonts to: Roboto and system font to Roboto Light but every new email have bold topic and part of email content.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to setup Thunderbird to work with my company Exchange account (have installed TBsync and provider for exchange tbsync). It works well but Thunderbird has created on the server sent/trash/archive/drafts folders instead of using the ones that exists, and thus I can't access my history when I am in Thunderbird.

Is there anyway to parameter this? I couldn't find any, there are only options to store in local or on the folder created by Thunderbird (see picture). Thanks in advance for your answers!

Good afternoon to all.

I use Message Filters to automatically send certain emails to two specific folders upon receipt, based on some defined rules (mainly who the sender is). Yesterday, I accidentally clicked "Run Filters on Folder", and the actions for my filter rules ran on every folder in my account, including my Archive folder. I could not find a way to stop the action once it started, so hundreds of archived emails were pulled out of the Archive folder and repopulated into my two specified folders. In each of these specified folders, I had a handful of emails stored in order to be able to come back to them as reference or to deal with later; I remember what some of these emails were, but I don't necessarily remember all of them, and now they're mixed in with the hundreds of emails that were brought back from the archive.

So, I have two main questions:

1. How can I prevent this from ever happening again? Is there a way that I can tell the message filters that a filter should never be run on archived messages?

2. Is there a way I can "undo"/reverse what happened, so that the previously-archived emails are sent back to the Archive? Or is there at least a way to identify which emails were in the two specified folders before they were inundated with all the messages from the Archive?

Thank you.

Hi, I am having an issue when I go to change the print settings for an email I am trying to print. All the drop down boxes ie, pages, paper size, margins etc. will not stay open and allow me to pick an option. I even had an issue with the drop down box above "which topic best describes your question" . I had to keep clicking it and if it did stay it was only for a second, but in the email print pane I cant even make a selection? Any help would be great as I print alot of emails and I don't always need the full email to print and like to select pages I would like to. Thanks

I've had this problem since Supernova came out and it drives me nuts.

It has nothing to do with sorting or threading. I've read dozens and dozens of support threads about that. This problem has nothing to do with that.

Issue: There does not seem to be a way to force TB to use a default user-defined column view. The way *I* set up my columns is: Star/Attachments/From/Recipient/Thread/Subject/Received/Size. Other users will have their own preference on which columns to display in which order. I know I can change the displayed columns and replicate that to existing folders, cascading down for the account view. That's great.

However, whenever I create a new folder or change the name of a folder it will revert back to showing the columns TB used before. Same when I move a folder from one subfolder to another (which I suppose amounts to changing the name, in a way)

I wish there were a default I could set so that ANY new folder I create wherever in the account will have the same columns displayed. And that the columns displayed will stay the same when I change name of a folder.

I've also looked for an add-on that might accomplish this but could not find.

While this information helped me with my Ionos email accounts, the directions will work for anyone who has to add extra SMTP Servers to send email from various email accounts. Email providers are requiring that the sending email match the receiving email to reduce the amount of spam being sent from their servers. So this is not a question--rather directions after 3 hours on the help line to figure out the proper procedure to add additional SMTP Servers. I wrote the direction below for my own use, but this may help someone else. The critical clue is to restart Thunderbird during the process so the new SMTP Server info gets 'remembered' (I am not a programmer, so my simple words).

=========

How to add additional SMTP Servers to Thunderbird (I am using v155.7.0)

To meet Ionos’ new security settings, you must now have each of your email accounts use an outgoing server that matches the incoming server.

1. Select account (name of the specific email account/mailbox); click on Account Settings (far upper right hand corner 2. The Outgoing Server (SMTP) will have to match the incoming server, so you will need to add an Outgoing Server (SMTP) that identifies with your account. You cannot add an Outgoing Server (SMTP) from this window. 3. Scroll down left side column until you see Outgoing Server (SMTP). Select that item. That will open the window ‘Outgoing Servers (SMTP) Settings’ where you may add new SMTP Servers. 4. Select Add... This will open a window ‘SMTP Server’. Enter a unique description for the SMTP Server so you can easily identify it to match it to the respective email account. This is very important to you can later tie it to the specific email account. 4a. (This configuration is specific to Ionos as of Feb 2024) Add the server name (ex. smtp.ionos.com) and the respective Port (465), Connection Security ‘SSL/TSL’ and Authentication ‘Normal Password’. User Name is your specific email address that will match this SMTP Server. Save (OK). 4b. Restart Thunderbird. Yes, really, close and reopen Thunderbird. This action will force Thunderbird to save and then recognize this new SMTP Server. If you don’t restart Thunderbird, it will not find the correctly configured SMTP Server and you will go crazy. 5. Go to the specific email account that you have setup the Outgoing Server (SMTP) and again open Account Settings (far upper right hand corner. At the bottom of the Account Settings screen is the Outgoing Server (SMTP) and the default server. Click on the dropdown box (little arrowhead pointing down) of the SMTP server to get the newly added SMTP Server and select the SMTP Server that matches the email of this account. The information is automatically saved. 6. Go into your specific email account and send an email. Thunderbird will ask for the email password. Input the correct password and click on the box to save the password. Your email will now work using that specific SMTP Server you created unique to your specific email account. 7. Repeat for each unique email account. Remember to clearly identify the newly created SMTP Server name and to restart Thunderbird for each new Outgoing Server (SMTP) or Thunderbird will not have the settings to work correctly with that specific email account. This is to prevent spammers from sending tons of emails from various accounts.

Some of incoming emails cannot find in inbox. Did not shows in my inbox. I must made some filter by accident which I cannot remove it. What I can do? I see them in inbox of other PC or mobile.

Why does Thunderbird INSIST on directing web links to Bing?

I have changed the Windows Default browser to FireFox.  I have restarted my machine and restarted Thunderbird multiple times.  When I go to Windowz settings it tells me that FireFox is my default browser.  Yet Thunderbird continues to direct links from an email to that CLINKING CLATTERING CONGLOMERATION OF COLLIGINOUS JUNK that is Bing.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have Thunderbird 115.7.0 and my Menu button does not work, I click on it and nothing happens. I'm using Windows 11 and this is just one problem I have since "upgrading" to 11. I can't find away to have Thunderbird to the inbox and I can't dd extensions(I think)without the Menu button. I should have stayed with Windows 10.

Hi,

When I sent an email, I use this addon "#tbkeys" to add the file name of the attachment in the body email. Is there a way to automatically add the name of the attachment, without using a shortcut ?

and this is the code for shortcut key...

1. tbkeys

{"ctrl+3": "(function () { var bucket = window.document.getElementById('attachmentBucket'); var names = []; for (var i = 0; i < bucket.getRowCount(); i++) names.push('• '+bucket.getItemAtIndex(i).getAttribute('name')); window.goDoCommandParams('cmd_smiley','This is Attachement name :

'+ names.join('
')); })();"}

Als ik de mail open en er staat een mail geopend, kan ik niet de ingekomen mails openen. Pas als ik eerst een ander item ipv postvak in open, kan ik pas weer op postvak in e.e.a. bekijken. Hoe verhelp ik dat?

Incoming emails create a Notification popup. Not sure if this is TB 78.15.0 esr or Apple OSX, but I've done the things needed to stop both, AFAIK:

TB Prefs / chat / general / when msgs directed at you arrive... / unchecked it all

In OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Prefs / notifications / TB 60.9.1 / unchecked all the stuff for TB Alert Style However, when I just went there to write the above, it was all back to being toggled ON.
