Forum der Gemeinschaft Thunderbird

Hi I am trying to download Thunderbird onto a new laptop. I clicked on the download button and it asked for a donation. I made the donation, but it didn't download. Now when I try and download again, I am asked for a donation again. How can I get passed this point, please?

Others have had hangs and/or have asked to revert to the last version. There was a response that said something about that not being a straightforward process, but no details were given on how to do it.

Most times that these hangs happen are when I start a quick search and it has Body included in the criteria. I have to kill it or else it just sits there forever. It's fairly frequent, but I also still can't get used to this new design and can't remember where things are. I want to revert or find something else. I've been using Thunderbird since Eudora went away. I do have emails saved under Local, as well as Gmail IMAP email for several accounts.

My current version is 115.12.2 (32-bit) on a 64-bit Windows 10 Pro Dell laptop. Some years ago I'd tried to go to the 64-bit version but for some reason it would not show up as installable. That may have been a previous laptop. I have a new laptop that I need to finish setting up. It's similar to this one, so maybe it would be better to use the old version "fresh" instead of reverting on the same laptop. IF someone can provide detailed instructions.

Since Version 115.12.2 update Released June 22, 2024 can receive but not send emails, fails because of outgoing server times out. 'The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.virginmedia.com timed out. Try again.' Virginmedia have tried without sucess to resolve and have informed me Thunderbird installation is corrupted.

Thunderbird Update auf 115.12.2 (64-Bit) is not working perfectly. The preview window in the 3 column view ist not updated. The movement of a sent message into sent messages is not working. Im running Win 11 and the problems acure after updating. Do You have any hints what I can do?

Thank You in advance

I saw a message on the webpage "About Thunderbird" saying that v115.12.0 would not ship, and is superseded by v115.12.1 Yet v115.12.0 just installed on my Linux Mint system, and appears to be the latest update. What gives?

I recently installed Linux Mint on a separate SSD on my Win10 PC and have now a dual boot environment.

Linux can access (r/w) all windows drives.

It should be possible via TB profile manager to access the TB profile on the windows partition.

My question: Are there any known incompatibilities between TB on Linux and Windows ? I don't want to end up having problems with the Windows installation of TB when trying to set this up.

setting up a new computer, trying to set up my gmail account on Thunderbird I get this message... Secure connection failed

' live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

   *   This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be
     someone trying to impersonate the server.

   *   If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may
     be temporary, and you can try again later.

  Or you can add an exception…

Hi there, can you please send me a link to Thunderbird Version 115.12.1 | Released June 19, 2024? I would like to downgrade. The most recent version i have Version 115.12.2 | Released June 22, 2024 doesn't allow me to save email drafts, for some reason. Please reach out to me at yelena@ad-co.com. Thank you!

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.

Hello: There is no account on Thunderbird after password glich. I did twice 'install' Thunderbird in hope I can get Thunderbird back to its life, however there is no account, ..... @comcast on Thunderbird. Only I can see is 'address book,' etc which I do not need. I want to e-mail on my main account, ....@comcast.net. Prior to this happened. there are four e-mail accounts on the left side pane, but there is none showing up. Thanks for any help in advance.

I normally have TB set to check for updates and allow me to choose to install them. This has in past releases broken some add-ons that are important to me; either because the developer hasn't caught up or has given up maintaining it/them.

I see from the Addons compatibility checker that a couple of them, specifically QNote and ImportExportTools NG are flagged as currently incompatible with 128, and if these stop working before being updated, I will endure serious problems, especially with ImportExportTools, which I use to save and archive critical correspondence.

I would therefore like to be able to turn off update checking of any sort, so that my current version of TB and relevant add-ons continue to work. When the compatibility checks tell me that the add-ons are now updated to 128 (and upwards) compatibility, then I can take off the update check block and carry on with updating. That is, until this particular problem recurs.

I imagine this is something in config, but it would help and save me time if anyone could advise me.

My thunderbird email account was on my old laptop and now I'm trying to get into it on a new laptop and it is asking for a password that I've forgotten and doesn't give me the option to put in a new one. What can I do to get my old email account working on my new laptop?

I have a profile that started on a PC and moved to Mac (Sonoma). I now want to put on another Mac from a backup. I have tried linking to the old profile using Profile Information. I click Create A New Profile and highlight the old profile after moving it into the User>Library Profile Folder, but I only get a new profile and not a link to the saved profile. What am I not doing or not doing right.

Also, in the past, there were two items in the Library>Thunderbird folder showing links to the profiles automatically installed when the program was installed. These had to be removed when installing my own existing profile. Those install links are not present. I'm attaching a screenshot of the T-bird folder.

Thank you.

This should be a simple issue but I've been struggling for ages. I changed email host and have a backup of my profile taken before the changeover, which caused my (IMAP) emails to disappear. But I have that backup profile. That one I've called 'Profiles - old' and placed in in the same folder (>>>Roaming>Thunderbird ) as the new one, called simply 'Profiles'. Only Profiles is read but I can use oneor the other by swapping the names around. There are emails in that Old profile that I want to copy to the new one without losing what's already there. As I say, this ought to be a simple matter, and it probably is, but so far I've waded through reams of online instructions that I've found to be either inapplicable or more less unfathomably techie and not come up with a solution. Help would be much appreciated!
