Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I was going through some of my old archived email and found some with huge image files attached to them. I then detached the images, resized/compressed using a jpg tool and wanted to reassociate them with the email.

This sounds ridiculous, but it would be nice to be able to do it if I can and I'm just missing the menu item to let me do it.

Greetings,

 I'm using Thunderbird 115.11.1 (64-bit) on MacOS 14.4 (M1). I'm trying to set the browser Thunderbird uses to Firefox - overriding the system's default browser.

The instructions I'v found are out-of-date, they do not apply to version 115.11.1 (64-bit).

The question: For this version, how can I set Thunderbird's browser? I hope this feature wasn't removed!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to automate / batch set the "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder"-setting for a large number of folders so I'm trying to figure how Thunderbird stores the setting(s) of which folders to always check for new mail.

Checking the `global-messages-db.sqlite` it seems like all folders that have the "always check folder"-setting have a `indexingPriority` value of 30 in the `folderLocations` table, but simply setting it to 30 for other folders does not enable the "always check folder"-setting so I guess that is set elsewhere. Where?

Also what other settings are set for the folder when enabling "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder" ?

Thanks in advance /frax

Hi there,

I really need help. I can't send emails anymore, but can receive them. All settings look correct to me, so I am lost. Please help! I am with skymesh. My email address is meike.m@skymesh.com.au

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:

 biotech at 6/2/24, 17:04:04 GMT-4 execution stopped

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?

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.
