Thunderbird Forum podrške

I frequently want to e-mail the WordPerfect (WP) file I'm working on to a specific address. Within WP, I can click on "File," select "Send" from the File menu, then select "Mail" from the Send menu. This puts up a Thunderbird mail message with the WordPerfect file as an attachment. This e-mail message also has a default e-mail address in the From field. I can change this address by selecting another one in the From pulldown menu, but I'd like to change the default e-mail address to the one I use most often (thus avoiding constant need to use the From pulldown menu). How do I do that?

Hello,

I have Thunderbird version 78.10.2

I don't receive the e-mails from my Free provider. My provider doesn't detect any problem with its servers.

I checked all parametres and they are good.

Can you help me with this problem ?

My Thunderbird 78.10.2 now has a number of local folders which will not open. They show only default "Local Folders" pane. See image below - note that the folder "professional" is highlighted is the left panel and the adjacent column shows 33054 emails but that the right hand panel shows only the default which normally appears only when the parent "Local Folders" folder is selected (and thus highlighted). I can't be certain but this may have occured due to a mistaken copy of another folder to be a subfolder to the folder "professional". That folder also now shows only the default panel as above.

Sorry, but the Thunderbird forum does not show me an "ask question" button. _{moved to Thunderbird forum. aw}

Thunderbird: How can I disable the recipient pills? "each recipient is now an item" How can I deactivate that? Thanks!

The current functionality for editing email text is somewhat limited as far as colors are concerned. It would be nice to be able to highlight a section of text and apply a (span) specific text/background color to it. Currently, the only way to modify the text color is through the rather kludgy foreground/background icon in the tool bar that is not exactly easy to figure out. But this feature seems only capable of changing the foreground text color or setting a background for the ENTIRE page; it doesn't allow the background for the selection only to be changed.

Thanks!

I had an att.net account on Thunderbird, worked fine up until a couple of weeks ago. Started not accepting password and getting att.net inbound server inaccessible errors. Deleted the account and tried to set up new att.net account using default parameters. Same results. Has att.net change something to their default config and Thunderbird missed it? I can still access (send and receive) my att.net (yahoo) account online so I know it's still active. Thanks, Bill.

I recently asked for help because I couldn't add a Gmail account. I received a reply about cookies, but I had already enabled cookies. It still can't access Gmail. Any other suggestions.

Our organization is using Gmail. Since roles change every few years, we thought it would be convenient to make the roles aliases, so we can easily point them to new accounts when the roles changed. So, for example, we had president@organization.com pointing to joan@organization.com. Now, Ken is the new president, so we have changed president to point to ken@organization.com.

Clearly, this was a bad idea, because everyone's email client remembers that Joan was president, so we get stuff like:

On Jun 14, 2021, at 3:35 PM, President at Organization <joan@organization.com> wrote: and in the header: President at Organization <joan@organization.com>

I realize there is no global way to fix it, because each person will have to fix their own client associations, but I can't even fix it in my Thunderbird email. I have gone through all entries in the address book for Joan, and deleted the president@organization.com address, and yet still, when I respond to an email from Joan, it shows:

President at Organization <joan@organization.com>

What am I missing?

Can I duplicate an address book in Thunderbird? I have too many contacts in one of my lists, and want to separate the list into two without having to reenter all the contacts

I use to be able to automatically forward incoming emails from one of my TB accounts to the other, I can no longer find that option - is there one or a workaround? thank you, M

Have written email message via thunderbird. Somehow, the SEND box is now greyed out and the message is not sent. No action knowingly by me preceded this condition. Thank you.

Thunderbird login fails after password changed in imap Gmail. It stays in a loop asking for yur emal address over and over even though it is correct. This darn (for lack of a much stronger word) has been around on and off for over 6 years. Coming and going and never being fixed or documented why it happens. It appears that Google knows that Thunderbird' UI is superior to their UI, and want to force Thunderbird users to switch to their crappy UI. I changed my password in Gmail based on Googles recommendation. What a BIG mistake. "If it ain't broken don't try to fix it". Then I changed it on Thunderbird (I AM NOT POP, BUT IMAP), Linux mint 18.3 cinnamon. The EXACT SAME login that fails on Thunderbird works perfect on direct login to native Gmail. At this point I'm about ready to move to Yahoo email. If you do not know the exact answer/reason please do not give me suggestions to try this try that. I have been a software developer for over 30 years. It is rejecting my email address with out any error message only clearing it and asking for it again? Thunderbird was working for over 10 years on my Linux system. The ONLY change was password on Gmail and Thunderbird. This issue is Almost impossible to happen without some Nefarious reason by Google wanting to block Thunderbird users. As an aside; Why does Thunderbird use it's own internal browser to login?

I have THunderbird version 78.11.0 installed on 2 windows 10 computers. I'm using 2 accounts - yuri101@prodigy.net and yuri@prodigy.net. Both accounts are using the same inbound/outbound servers. Today suddenly one of the accounts on both computers can't receive or send any emails. I'm getting message that password on inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net are invalid. Settings are the same for both accounts, yuri101 is working OK, yuri is not working. I can login to att.net with yuri@prodigy.net and it's working fine. Under save passwords I see the same entry for both ids. How can I fix this issue? Thanks a lot, Yuri

I want to know how I can stop getting these Red Lips beside an email, because when you go near these emails, they are deleted and I cannot find them again. Any help appreciated. Thanks Michael Quinn
