Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

When I open a message in my TB 115 Inbox, and wish to zoom in or out on the message using the keyboard commands for Zoom (Command+Plus, Command-Minus, Command-0), nothing happens.

I am running TB 115.3.1. My OS is Mac OS Monterey, 12.7.3

I have restarted TB 115 in Troubleshoot Mode, and the shortcuts still do not work. I have manually disabled all add-ons, and this has made no difference, either.

The only thing that works for zooming in or out on an email is to first use the drop-down menu for View -> Zoom. Then the Zoom keyboard shortcuts do work for that specific email. With each different email, the keyboard shortcuts for Zoom do not work, unless I first use the drop-down menu commands.

How do I get the keyboard shortcuts for Zoom to work without having to first use the drop-down menu?

Thanks,

Hi, All. I store older emails in subfolders by year within Local Folders, and I've specified that Thunderbird store Local Folders on a toggleable remote drive. The idea is that I will just toggle that remote drive on when I need to access Local Folders messages.

Thankfully, when I start Thunderbird with the remote drive off, Local Folders appears without any references to inbox or sent folders (since it can't find the drive), and also thankfully it doesn't throw any "Can't find drive x" error messages. When Thunderbird is open, and I turn the drive on, however, it does not display the remote Local Folders content.

Other than completely closing and reopening Thunderbird, is there a way to have it more easily load the Local Folders content when the drive is turned on - either automatically or manually?

Thank you

I believe that TBird in the past would show the count of the selected messages in the bar at the bottom. For example if I selected 10 messages in a folder for deletion it would show at the bottom how many were selected. If I selected a thousand it would show that number, and then when I hit delete it would show a progress of x number deleted of so many selected.

Now it no longer shows the number selected and during the delete process only occasionally flashes the x number deleted of the number selected.

I believe this is a bug in 115.11.1 It is occurring on two different PCs both running Win 10 Pro.

I had 115.2.2 installed and all was good. I upgraded last night to 115.7 and things seemed ok but I am now on the road at Atlanta airport and I can neither send nor receive email. In the lower left corner of the display it alternately is stuck on compuserve: connected to imap.AOL.com or my other server eberger35:connected to imap.comcast.net

If I try to send a message from either my compserve/AOL, or comcast, or gmail accounts I get this error message:

The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net timed out. Try again.

If I try to send from the compuserve or gmail accounts the message will reflect that server SMTP has failed instead.

I think everything was working at home before I left, but I'm not sure if I checked mail after I upgraded. Perhaps the problem is the Atlanta airport Wifi, but I won't be at my destination till much later today and thought I would post this now in case someone has an answer. I will be able to get the reply on my iPhone. Thank you.

I can't do batch delete or move from the Inbox. It will only do one file at a time, despite the fact that several are highlighted.

It is also repeatedly trying to download a few thousand files to the Inbox. It gets to the number of files, then hangs, then starts to do it again (except each time it's fewer files to download). I don't know if the two problems are related.

A while ago my long-time hotmail account stopped working on two computer with windows 10 and one with windows 11. Last night, I looked up an article that said I have to use Oauth2 instead of normal pw. I made that change on the windows 11 machine and a popup occurred that wanted the number from the google authenticator on my phone. I gave it that and it checks mail now just fine.

This morning I went to one of the Windows 10 machines and did exactly the same. I tried some different server names online and tried some, but after a while I started getting a little window that asked my email address and pw. I put my hotmail address in and got this message:

Microsoft Accounts or personal email addresses don’t work here. Make sure you enter your work or school account (e.g. user@contoso.com). If you want to reset a Microsoft Account password, click here.

Now this is the very same hotmail email that worked on windows 11 with the same server settings last night. It still works.

Now, on the windows 10 machine with those same settings, I get the blank extra window. The extra window appears, does not populate, and disappeared.

It is: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=redacted@hotmail.com

I had no opportunity to do what worked on the windows 11 machine just last night. I cannot check mail on hotmail on this windows 10 pc. I took all the updates available to Thunderbird and firefox. TB is 115.11.1

I'm stopped. Why would it work on one pc and not another? Oauth2 on the windows 11 asked for authenticator. On the windows 10 it never asks.

I have had the same filters and folders for years. Now pretty much everything is not filtered when messages arrive, and when I do a manual "Run Filters on Folder" I get this message about many, maybe all, of my filters "The folder 'Newsletters' could not be found, so filter(s) associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and that filters point to a valid destination folder."

"Applying filter From is: dailybusinessreview@alm.com failed. Would you like to continue applying filters?"

When I try redoing the filter, filter dialog says it can't find the folder. I tried repairing the folder, no good.

Junk filters after years of learning, aren't working either.

Now what? TIA.

i am using TB 115.10.1 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS expected behavior:

 the msg should be moved to the junk folder on Local Folders, marked as junk and NOT placed  in the Inbox

actual behavior:

 the msg is usually  (but not always) copied to the folder "junk" on "Local Folders" and a copy is left in the Inbox

i have many other filters like this, most always work, some occasionally do not. this particular filter has approx 30 such rules each with different matching content, some with domain names, some with portions of IP address. furthermore, other filter rules of similar nature mostly work but occasionally do not.

i am using a customized header, "Received:"

the filter (named "received by #10" :

 apply filter when: Filter Before Junk Classification

 match any of the following
 Received contains      [128.245.         # should match all 128.245.x.x hosts

 perform these actions:
   Move Message to   junk on Local Folders
   Set Junk Status to   junk
   Stop Filter Execution

one of the "Received:" headers contains:

 Received: from mta.s.alivebusinessplan.com ([128.245.246.45]) by mx.mail.com...

filter log content:

questions: 1. why this behavior? what'd i do wrong? 2. is there a limit on the number of filters? 3. is there a limit on the number of rules per filter?

I've just started getting error messages that I need to enter my password to send emails. I've tried that but it still keeps saying unable to connect to the server. This has been happening for about two days now. I've tried updating Thunderbird, restarting Thunderbird and restarting my PC. None of this has worked. I made no changes to my system, software or home network. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

I'm on Thunderbird 115.11.1 on Windows 11. I got an error that there wasn't space to download emails today. My Thunderbird profile shows this:

In the startupCache folder File Explorer says that there are 2500 directories, 660 files, and 4.94 TB of content. The last few lines of a dir command show this. Note the weird dates on the directories and garbage names.

What is the best way to clean this up?

1 Yesterday I moved many MB of emails from Outlook to Thunderbird, now Tbird login to Outlook fails; password that works in browsers seems not to be accepted.

I suspect the drastically shrunk-in-size folders need compacting (which I was going to do today) but can not get to Tbird establishing a relationship to Hotmail (now owned by Outlook). I kept expecting Tbird to tell me it was compacting the whole Outlook Inbox, but it never did.

I tried clearing the cache as suggested. Ran troubleshooting but it merely displayed settings but no explanation.

Hotmail was my first email account (1995 or so), but Microsoft having bought it and it therefore now being subject to whatever inconsistencies they have introduced in the past year or so, I did what I did last night was the first step to moving emails off of their Outlook server onto my hard drive in advance of closing that account. Thunderbird seemed like the mos efficient way to keep emails while emptying their folders in Outlook.

2 If/When I get it back, I would appreciate advice on how to avoid this happening again.

Thank you.

I have been receiving emails and newsletters from a number of companies for many years. Suddenly last December many stopped coming. I have been in touch with one in particular and I am still on their mailing list. I am unable to find anywhere I can check. And before anyone says check your Junk folder. I do that every day. It has gotten to the point where I will have to stop using Thunderbird. Where can I look to find out what is wrong.

When I try to switch profiles, I get the following error: An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved. I have been messing around with this on and off for a couple of months. I uninstalled Thunderbird and re-installed with no luck. This error is not allowing me to switch to a profile that I have had for over 20 years and I have lost all my Local Folders, quite disturbing. I found a similar thread here, but no solution. Thanks, Paul

Hello, After updating Thunderbird to version 115.11.1, messages are empty and contain no content. Messages that arrive after the update have content. How can I solve this problem because all messages in the folder received from before the update are empty.

The new inbox format is similar to Apple inbox. I used Thunderbird because, in my opinion, the inbox layout was much better than Apple mail inbox which is one of the primary reason I use Thunder bird. Is there a way to go back to the previous inbox version?

Hello There, I'm using thunderbird with two email accounts, Hotmail.com and Outlook.it but since some time now, some e-mails are no longer readable.... If I open the same e-mails on the Outlook website I can see it correctly...

Attached some examples

Thanks in advance

Andrea

Since moving from Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa) to 22.04.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) 2 days ago the appearance of my Email (from the Inbox) has changed. Not in a nice way. On the web I found ways to re-install Thunderbird (using the Thunderbird "Help" option) but that does not work anymore. Thanks, Teun.
