Thunderbird Support Forum

I am considering moving to Thunderbird from MS Outlook. I want the rules I have already setup in Outlook to work in Thunderbird. Is this possible & if so how do I make it work.

Without notice, Thunderbird today required me to sign-in to my Google account and then produced a window in which it said it wanted to access to my mail, contacts and calendar; in order to compose, send, share, delete permanently, among actions on my personal content. I tried to "Deny" (see below) but the window just returned and returned and could not be deleted. (see "Uploaded images", below for the content of this window).

Is this a scam? Or the result of a hacker?

I'm running Windows 10 Pro (64-bit). I have two different versions of Thunderbird installed on my system; one is installed in Program Files (64-bit version 125.0.0.0 dated 04/23/2024—old version) and the other is installed in Program Files (x86) (64-bit version 115.12.2.0 dated 06/25/2024—the current version). The shortcut icon on my desktop (which I never use) runs the older version located in the Program Files folder while the shortcut icon on my taskbar (and also the one in my Start menu) runs the updated version located in the Program Files (x86) folder.

As an aside, there are 21 .dll files in the Program Files (x86) folder (all starting with api-ms-win and dated 09/27/2023) while none of those files are in the Program Files folder.

FYI, I have been using Thunderbird on this PC for almost five years.

How do I fix this problem so that I have only the current version of Thunderbird run from the proper folder, Program Files?

I tried a few times to copy the thunderbird folder from my windows machine to my mac machine but every time I start Thunderbird after that it just creates a new profile folder and ignores the existing one which was already copied. Any help and insight will be greatly appreciate it!

OS: Windows 10 and Sonoma

Suddenly I cannot send emails. I can receive emails. I have checked my account settings and they are correct as follows: Charter Communications mail.twc.com port 587 Starttls normal password ggordets@san.rr.com. I contacted Spectrum and we proved that the problem is not them by initiating an outgoing email to myself using webmail. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird. As indicated above my email is ggordets@san.rr.com

Thank you. P.S. My operating system is Windows 10.

My calendar screen stretch blank screen to the end. If I use 2 screens it is better. It still stretch through second second. Bu I still have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The rest is gone.

The problem go away when I use troubleshoot mode.

Please help me and give me advice.

Regards, Harris

My e-mails fail to be delivered to my inbox immediately. They are held up somehow and then suddenly appear days later as a batch of them as though they have been held in a storage box.

my emails for my Spectrum.net account are not being received as of 6-24-2024. other email accounts still work OK. How does this get fixed?

Trying to all threads to come up when I click on a new email as a default. Already did this:- settings>general - scroll down to config editor - enter mailnews.default_view_flags and change value to 0. Does not work!

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 115.12.1 (64-bit). I somehow turned on the number of messages and folder size and can't seem to figure out of to remove them. A colleague suggested I click the 3 dots to the right of the "New Message" but I don't see them at all. Please advise. Thank you!

Hi This morning when I tried to send an email I got a message there was no disk space & so couldn't save copy to sent (I have 848 GB free on HD)

I tried to copy some old sent emails to a folder I've used in the past (old sent) & TB crashed. When I restarted it, many of my subfolders were missing. They are all still showing in Local folders in profile. I deleted all msf files & restarted TB. Nothing.

How can I restore these folders? Hopefully that's possible! Thanks

Hello. Some of my messages are not displaying in text or HTML as they should. I have tried changing settings to solve this but setting as Automatic or HTML or text, nothing solves the problem. I shall paste a partial email so you can see what I mean (I have deleted personal information):

I filter messages to move spam to my trash folder. I don't use the spam & junk functions.

I'm on some oddball's list who sends all their spam in bold italics and an uncommon font.

Easy to spot but it's easily 30 a day. I'd love to filter them. I don't see a 'by formatting' option.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I am unable to login into Gmail, nor Exchange 365 on Windows with OAuth2.

In the Google auth flow, clicking "Allow" to grant permissions to Thunderbird causes the page to hang and nothing happens.

I love Thunderbird and it has replaced Outlook (classic) for me, but there's one feature I miss, AutoArchive.

In Outlook (classic), emails older than x days can be automatically moved out of the server folders and into local folders, freeing up server storage space and negating the need to pay for additional cloud storage.

Thunderbird has the ability to select a group of messages in any folder and right-click > Archive (move) them to the matching Local Folder: perfect! But manually selecting multiple messages older than x days in multiple IMAP folders and selecting "Archive" is a chore too far.

Thunderbird should natively have the ability to (optionally) iterate across all IMAP folders and "Archive" any message older than x days, according to the Message Archives setting in Account Settings > Copies & Folders. The Disk Space setting in Account Settings could be an ideal place to add an "Archive messages more than x days old" option, since it already has a "Delete messages more than x days old" option.

Note: I know about the AutoarchiveReloaded add-on, but for something as important as shifting emails around with the possible breakage that could occur, and the possibility of the add-on being discontinued, native support would be very much welcome.

Another note: this has of course been raised on bugzilla,[1] but it's a 15 year old bug and seemingly unlikely to come to fruition.
