I was cleaning up my wife's email when I noticed there are a lot of messages unread and in the trash folder that ought not to be. I am wondering how to fix that for her. Example: some amazon.com emails about orders, or emails from favorite merchants or websites.

i am confused at this point: Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

The row background and text colours can be set with css (see picture):

/* row bg, text colours for selected messages table view*/ tr[is="thread-row"].selected {

 color: white !important;
 background-color: red !important; 

}


Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colours as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.

Some months ago I received an email, but the body of the email was a picture (jpg) from my computer. The sender definitely does not have the image. The content from the sender is missing, and my image is in the body of the email and as an attachment.

This has happened a handful of times over the past 6-9 months, with the same image showing up in emails from various unrelated senders.

I just received an email from my partner who sent me an email with a screenshot attached, but instead of receiving what he sent, I've got an email with my image that randomly shows up in my inbox.

A few days ago it happened, but when I restarted my computer, the unwanted image was no longer present, and the actual email content was visible.

Restarting my computer has not resolved this particular instance.

Does anyone know why Thunderbird is in love with this one image of mine and why it keeps showing up in my inbox in emails from other people?

After Thunderbird installer download from Mozilla website, I cannot access either of my 2 yahoo accounts

After downloading and running installer (Thunderbird setup 148.0) from Thunderbird website, Thunderbird opened as usual, showing my three email accounts. The 2 accounts I use for almost everything are both Yahoo accounts (yahoo.co.uk and rocketmail.com). But.. neither of these accounts will work without a yahoo sign-in pop which is pre-filled with an account name (example graphic attachment : thunderbird01red.jpg). 1 example shown but the same thing happens for both yahoo accounts.

The 'Next' button, which I assume will ask for password, does nothing.

I have attempted login via webmail. I enter account name, am asked for password and Yahoo insists on sending me a verification code - to the other yahoo account (the yahoo.co.uk account), which I cannot access! I then attempt to login to the other account to access my pass code and the same thing happens in reverse, telling me that a verification code will be sent to the first account.

Via Thunderbird, which has for years done all this automatically behind the scenes, I can get absolutely nowhere. Via webmail, I am in an 'impossibility loop'. I have cleared cache for each account.

Why won't Thunderbird allow automatic account login, as has been the case since the year dot. These are the 2 accounts around which my entire life is ordered - can somebody please help.

I cannot seem to get Thunderbird to successfully connect to my email server on Network Solutions. Neither POP3 or IMAP works. I added an autoconfig of mail.<domain.ext>.netsolmail.net but this did not work. I am using the recommended ports and SSL/TLS settings. I can see from the Thunderbird Tools->Activity Manager that the connection is being refused. I can log into the mail account directly through the Network Solutions web access process. I used to just use a .forward on this account, but now I would like to set it up as my primary email server. Maybe there are other advanced settings on NS that need to be changed. Anyone know if there is something I am missing? I have changed the autodiscover to the autoconfig above in the CNAME and have map, mail, pop and smtp set to values recommended by NS. Do I need to add back the autodiscover setting perhaps? Many thanks for any suggestions.

I have used Thunderbird for many years and and have loved it. However, recently my "Local Folders Inbox" have been extremely slow (deleting emails, reviewing an email, etc.). I have tried every suggestion that I have found without any change: reducing emails in the folder (down to about 75 remaining), compacting and repairing the folder, deleting and rebuilding all of the msf files and global database, disabling all addons, empty trash and junk, clear the cache, disable hardware acceleration, exclusion in antivirus, etc. It has become very frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I routinely drag and drop attachments out of an incoming email and into various desktop folders. However, in the last couple of days, it started creating multiple copies when dragging more than one attachment at a time AND doing it in multiples of the number of attachments. For example, if I drag four attachments over, it will save the original attachment and create three more and number them: ex. File.pdf (original) and File-1.pdf, File-2.pdf, File-3.pdf. Three file equals two copies, six files equals five copies, and so on. Dragging one attachment is fine and saving multiples via SAVE ALL works fine as well. It's only multiples via drag and drop. I am running the latest Thunderbird 148.0 on a Mac with Tahoe 26.3.

I never had this problem and only been experiencing it recently.

After turning my computer off, turning back on and loading up Thunerbird, my calendars are not displaying again. I have to keep removing and readding again.

I am using Google Calendar that is linked to my phone and pc. The phone is fine and always displayings my appointments. I am using the "Provider for Google Calendar" extension on Thunderbird.

I at first though it could be OneDrive interfering with the data, but that does not make much sense as its a calendar hosted on Google, but still I configured and checked the OneDrive.

I am at a loss and getting fed up of having to readd my calendars back every day. So, I don't know if this was an update that did it, a broken extension, etc. But, I am desperate for a solution.

Regards

TB on Windows

Prior to TB 148, OAUTH worked for POP3 access to: Gmail, MS Outlook, and Yahoo.

After TB 148 upgrade: OAUTH to Yahoo fails, subsequent log-in page also fails. Both OAUTH to Gmail and OAUTH to MS Outlook still work fine.

Rolled-back/Reverted to TB 147.0.2 -- OAUTH to all works fine, as it did previously.

Note: YahooMail seems to have other problems. But I was able to confirm successful OAUTH and POP3 to YahooMail after reversion to 147.0.2.

Sending an email slowed right down, so I saved it and tried to open it from the Drafts folder, a local folder. Drafts was agonizingly slow to open a draft. (I tried this several times to send a particular email.) I clicked the Repair Folder button for Drafts. Then I clicked the Repair Folder for my local Sent folder. Bad move. Suddenly Thunderbird started resending all the emails in my Sent folder. Starting in 2020.

I had to disable my internet connection, then change my Sent Folder back to a server folder and disable my SMTP settings for the moment. Ouch!

Thunderbird doesn't seem to work well with local folders any more.
