Since updating to V143.0.1 the Send and Attach buttons are missing when compiling messages.

When I finish compiling a message now I have to select File>>Send of press Ctrl/Return. In either case a check message then appears that has to be accepted

If I want to attach a document or file I have to select File>>Attach>File or Ctrl/Shift/A.

What's happened to the buttons?

Suddenly, when I go to send e-mails (to me, or anyone else) I get a pop up signal that says I can't send it because it might be questionable, etc. What do I do send my e-mails since none of them are "scam" or "questionable".?

Hi, it's many year that I moving manually messages to folders located on a NAS. Everything has always been fine, but today I've discovered that, despite searching funcion is regularly finding all the messages, if I try to open them they show a blank body (see image attached)

I have two email accounts, one is hotmail.com, the other is on outlook.com

The SMTP for the outlook account works fine, but Thunderbird puts that same smtp details into the Hotmail account smtp. That also puts into the Hotmail username, the outlooks email address.

If I try to send an email using the Hotmail account, I get a message saying 'Hotmail can not send using xx@outlook.com

If I use the settings to make the username xxx@hotmail.com, it puts that into the smtp of the outlook.com address then that will not send giving the same fault. This has only started this last couple of days, nothing changed in the settings.

This only occurs on my Desktop. On my laptop with same settings it works fine.

Thunderbird is showing up to date?

Hello, When I open the window to write a new email the toolbar is missing. I can't see the buttons for "send" or "attach" or any other options.(you can see it on the picture) How can I restore the toolbar? Thank you for your help. Best regards, Bokor Vanessza

Thunderbird 143.0.1 eclipse.

Quite recently I noticed that, in the list of folders, I see 2 "Junk" folders.

On looking at the properties for 1 Junk folder the location is shown as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Junk",

but properties for the other shown as Junk locates as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Spam".

I've tried renaming that folder in Thunderbird to Spam but the change doesn't take effect.

What went wrong, and more importantly how can I rename it to see it as "Spam"?

tnx.

I have a new laptop "YOGA" with W11. Now I want to add an extra e-mail address. I am in Sweden and now I want to add my Spanish e-mail. It is a " @telefonica.net" address. I only want it to receive mail, to send mail I use my ordinary swedish mail. When I put in the "@telefonica.net" Thunderbird will not respond it says "use only letters and figures etc"

How can I fix this?

After the latest Thunderbird update, the line at the bottom of the displayed that Thunderbird was retrieving/downloading messages from my mail server is no longer displayed. I have looked for a way to display the activity but have have not found anything.

I would appreciate some assistance. Thank you.

Using Windows 11, Thunderbird 143.0.1 (64 bit)

I have a filter that moves emails based on the Sender... to a Local Folder (*) The system is set to [Filter After Junk Classification]

Every new email moved (by the Filter) to this Local Folder is marked as Junk. I manually set each email as not-Junk but the issue persists. (*) I have added a Filter action (as well as the Move): Set Junk Status to Not Junk (but this is not successful)

Any suggestions to fix, are welcomed.

I do not have the password to my Thunderbird Mail in current laptop. I think it will be needed when I start up a newly bought laptop where I will include Thunderbird Mail. What can I do?

Every time I start-up Thunderbird, a series of 2 pop-ups from Yahoo open up: [ Sign in using your Yahoo account ]. I close the pop-up and a 2nd one pops-up. I close it and say 10 or 15 mins they pop back up in the same series. It's very frustrating. I can't tell if it's Yahoo or a scam cookie. I notice the URL at the top of page and it's the same one every time and every day. The same URL shows: "https://login.yahoo.com/?src=thunderbird&client_id=dj0yJmk9NUtCTWFMNVpTaVJmJmQ9WVdrOVJ6UjVTa2xJTXpRbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmeD0yYw--&crumb=uE2cxQuNxpE&login_hint= ..." <... it goes on for a few more lines. It's long. I went to Firefox and cleared all 'cache' and 'cookies' and they still pop-up in Thunderbird. Heck, they just popped up again while writing you! How do I stop this intrusion while using Thunderbird? Thanks, RonD

It makes sense that you might want your signature text to change depending on who you are communicating with (employer, business, friend, etc).

In Outlook you can enter several signature texts, identified by a name. I sure would like to have that in Thunderbird!

Another possibility would be to circulate among several signature texts, just to "keep it fresh".

Thanks for your consideration.

Win 7 used to let you drag files from jump lists anywhere you wanted, such as to an email. MS in their wisdom removed that feature from win10/11. The beauty of the old approach was that you didn't need to go find the exact file; finding it in the jump list was sufficient. You can find the file, right click, and select Send To, but that is less convenient than going to the jump list.

The current jump list does have a share feature but the only email client in that lists of shareables is Outlook. I asked ChatGPT about adding TBird to the list and it said it can't be done unless Mozilla implements the Share Target API.

Is that worth submitting as a feature request or is it am impossibility?

Hello I deleted a lot of emails, and I am not sure if all my old emails have been completely deleted. When I go to open Thunderbird, after about a minute it will freeze up. I have 3 email accounts and I can only view one account but when I try to view another email account, it freezes up, and I have to exit. Before I deleted my emails it all worked great no problems. What did I do wrong and what can I do to get Thunderbird back to working like it use to ? Thanks a lot Sam
