When i send an email , it goes to the destination email address all right, but the problem is that it creates two identical entries in my local "sent" folder. As if i had sent the email msg two times. This happens only with my hotmail.com account. All of my other accounts (gmail, yahoo etc) dont have this problem. I am using a windows 11 laptop, and both my windows and Tunderbird are fully updated.

I swap computers about 3 times in year, and not all of mine emails seen to have transfer. I was wondering if there is any way I could potentially recuperate those emails.

misconversion (mojibake) does not happen when a mail header is as below. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

It seems encoding in my Thunderbird does not match 8bit. Several years ago Thunderbird had an option to modify text encoding but I cannot find such an option in the recent versions. It would be really appreciated if anyone help. Thank you.

Was unable to edit appointments attempts placed a previously unknown dialog box. Search for info found one person advised Select Calendar (tab), edit, calendar properties and uncheck the read only box.

In my case the box was already unchecked, checked it, tried it, same result. Unchecked it, tried it same result (not able to edit).

Next I thought maybe some data location is not being changed. So I closed all files, shut down (not a restart) my machine, and restarted it. Opened Thunderbird and tried to change an appointment, did not work. Went to Calendar (tab), edit, calendar properties and found the read only box checked. Unchecked and all seems back to normal operations now.

At Thunderbird > Settings > Privacy & Security > under Passwords > "View Saved Password", the dialog box pops up correctly. But the size of the box is so small the columns can't display the complete info i.e. username, password, or date. When I hover on the column divider I get the left/right sizing arrow but nothing happens when I click & drag the arrow. I am on Thunderbird 159. Thanks.

I have just starting using Thundermail and one thing I am trying to understand better is Address Books in Desktop Thundermail in Windows 11. I now have the following under address books: All address books (assume that this is just everything in all the address books), Personal Adress Book (empty), Contacts ( not sure where it comes from, probably 1 or both of the 2 emails of mine I have connected), Contacts (not sure where this came from but looks suspiciously like it comes from my gmail email or emails? as it is a long list), Thundermail Address Book (empty), Collected Addresses (looks like it picks these up from emails I send or receive). I am interested in understanding what forms this initial list of address books, do they continue to reflect changes in the original source address books from outside or are they a once only transfer?), how I can manipulate them, probably to end up with: All address books, and other address books continuing various subsets for convenient access to a smaller list of contacts under these sub address book names. Can I easily copy or move addresses between address books? Documentation already answering many of these questions may already exist? Thanks for any help or advice you may be able to provide.

I am early days learning to use Desktop Thundermail Calendars in Windows 11. I have several calendars showing up in my list of Calendars. Home, My name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected), New Holiday, Thundermail Calendar, My wife's name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected that she wants me to monitor as she rarely uses them). I would like to get a basic explanation of what each of these calendars are and how they may relate to each other. This may already exist somewhere? For example: what is the difference between Home and Thundermail Calendars? Why do my 2 other emails only form one combined calendar?

Hi everybody, after switching from microsoft ews to graph using exchange server any response on a e-mail is starting at the bottom. I would like to have my response editor on top above the attached e-mail I am responding to. All other e-mail accounts are working this way but not on the Microsoft Graph e-mail account. Could someone please help ? Regards Thomas

Hello, I can't add a new Outlook mail account; it keeps showing 'Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. But I just added another outlook mail account.
