Is there a setting, like in Outlook, to snooze a reminder until "x minutes before start"?

If I have a reminder for e.g. 3pm, which is set to go off 1 hour before and then I want to snooze to give 5 minutes warning, in Outlook I would set it to remind me 5 minutes before. This works at any time up until 6 minutes before the event, regardless of when I snooze it..

But it seems that in TB, if you're away from your desk until e.g. 2.30pm, then you would have to calculate and manually enter "remind me in 25 minutes" to achieve the same effect.

I can't find an addon which does this, but happy to stand corrected!

TB Authentication Failed with new outlook.com accounts Definetely not a problem of username, password, etc: everything double checked. No problems with old outlook.com accounts or connecting BlueMail for Windows to the new created accounts, but still I would like to use Thunderbird...

Greetings, Is there a way to change the order of threads in a folder? The all appear with the oldest message in the thread at the top and new emails that come into that bunch are buried at the bottom with no indication that they are there. I'd like to have the newest entry to the thread at the top and to have the threads with new messages highlighted until the message is read. Possible? Many Thanks

I'm on Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bit).

NB: I have been using app specific passwords for all steps with this.

I previously had nine icloud calendars - my own and those shared with me - synced into Thunderbird. Not all had events in them. Then all the events stopped syncing.

I unsubscribed all the calendars and tried to re-add them with the calendar specific URLs. Initially none of them would re-add.

Got a new app specific password.

Followed online tutorials to try using general login to https://icloud.com and https://webcal.icloud.com. Calendars detected, but would not add into Thunderbird.

Then back to calendar specific URLs, and the calendars are adding, but none of the events.

I've tried adding the calendar feeds to Outlook, which works, so I'm pretty positive it's a Thunderbird problem rather than an Apple problem. If it can't be resolved, I'll have to move onto Outlook, but it's a bad time to do that as I want to resolve some Thunderbird email chain dependent projects first.

Any help very gratefully received.

As the topic says, the message list turned from the usual dark-mode look, to a full black background after updating to 151.0.

Was this an intentional change? How can I revert it?

I have been having troubles logging in with my Microsoft email account on Thunderbird (hotmail). When I fill in the name and email address, a pop-up appears with the OAuth2 authentication but the only thing that ever appears in this pop is the message "Unable to connect" with some additional possible explanations.

I have looked online a lot for solution but nothing seems to work. I have cleared the cache, removed all mentions of the email account (it was working before until I added a passkey to the account).

Other reasons I have seen is that the request might be intercepted by certain problems like Apache or Nginx etc. I am running an instance of Nginx on my home server, which is a different device. But I have temporarily turned it completely off but it did not change the situation. The same story with and instance of PiHole, it turns on my homeserver which is a different device and also had to turned off.

The machine I am running Thunderbird on is a Windows machine. I have also tried booting into safe mode with networking but also that did not do anything.

I have tried copying the url on the top of the pop-up window and pasted into several web-browsers. There is does load and I can select the correct passkey to login. But the data that comes back from it is not being given to Thunderbird of course so it does nothing. But the fact that it is able to load outside of Thunderbird makes me think it is a problem on the side of Thunderbird.

Could you perhaps help me set up my email on Thunderbird?

Receiving emails was no problem, but when sending one I was repeatedly asked for my password. I did check the save password in the dialog box. I checked the account settings and saw a yellow alert next to certificate exception and clicked on remove. That apparently was a mistake because now I can't get into email since the security certificate is not valid. Reinstalling Thunderbird may be needed, but I need some advice before I try anything else.

I have an Orange.re email address, and whilst I can receive emails, I am unable to send emails. Any ideas why? I have verified the smtp server and settings.

J'installe Thunderbird pour la première fois, je bloque sur la page " saisissez le mot de passe de votre compte de messagerie" j'ai noté ma mon adresse orange et mon mot de passe associé à cette adresse , mais il apparait un message d'erreur. Comment faire !!! Merci

I am using Kubuntu 26.04 and I am using the monthly stable channel version of the Thunderbird Snap. In KDE system settings, the default email client is set to Thunderbird. Upon every startup of Thunderbird, it ask if I want to set it as the default client for email, newsgroups, feeds and calendar and when I click yes and close Thunderbird and reopen it it does the same thing, over and over. Otherwise the email program operates just fine otherwise. My email accounts are all setup properly and functioning and working and it downloads email just fine. It just has that annoying popup upon every startup. I've included two images to show what I mean. I like the Snap version and prefer that container format. I would like someone who is smarter than me to file a bug on my behalf.

Firefox on this Windows 10 computer stopped providing an email Send option about 2 weeks ago. I still receive all messages fine, but must use Firefox on an older windows 7 computer to send emails. What can I do? Other internet receive and send functions are still working. The problem is only with email.

A few weeks ago I began getting spam in my inbox from about ten senders (Omaha steaks, C0stco, Marriot, Harbor Freight, Harbor Tools, Ace, Lowes, CVS, Blue Cross) and no matter what I do, I can’t make it stop. In fact, the numbers have grown higher every day - probably now over 100. Marking them as junk doesn’t work. I have triple-checked all my settings. And setting up specific filters with these names hasn't worked. I don’t have a spam add-on but I see here in Support complaints about SpamAssassin’s ineffectiveness.

Is anyone else getting junk from these specific senders? Has anyone discovered a way to banish them?

MANY THANKS

PRELUDE: I have several email accounts. All accounts display properly, except one. Yes, this is similar to my question about bottom of the far left [of emails] list of emails - but this is different.

On the far left of Thunderbird is a list of all my email accounts with "Inbox" etcetera. Each email account shows it's Inbox/Sent/Deleted/ except for 1 account. The problem email account only shows it's Title and Inbox northing else. Yes, I tested it and sent emails to it, and used the problem email account to send, create a draft, and they don't show..

The image explains it.

Thanks for reading this ~r

Hello

i am struggling with TB as it always uses the default email of a server account.

Instead, i would like to use different accounts based on the recipients

I could not find an extension with this behavior.

For example, I would like all email exchanged (sent & received) to a domain ( @thatcompany.com ) to use a given account alias (myalias.email@proton.me)

Thanks for all assistance

Hi all,

After thoroughly searching this database, I could not locate an answer to the issue I am facing, although there seem to have been several similar cases.

My former university has recently decided to delete alumni email accounts, so I am using Thunderbird for email transferring from university to GMail (added both accounts to Thunderbird and then began copying emails and folders). Transfer is slow, depending on the server capabilities etc., but I am going folder by folder and so far it has been fine. I began the transfers a week ago.

Last night I noticed my Thunderbird inbox for my school is not showing anymore. The profile folder is only showing one file (.msf) for Inbox, instead of what should be, in my understanding, two files.

Thunderbird is still communicating well with the university email server because I made a folder rearrangement on the university webmail service (outlook.com) and it showed on Thunderbird. In addition, all my Inbox emails appear fine on the university webmail service (outlook.com).

Any ideas? This is obviously important and urgent.

Thank you in advance.
