I am an older user and have used Thunderbird for a long time . When switched to Yahoo I still preferred the Thunderbird layout and continued to use it . My computer became like me , to old to be useful , so I purchased a new one . When I set it up and downloaded Thunderbird it came with the Yahoo format that I find hard to use . Enough BS and to my question , how can I return to the old format ? I have a Dell computer running Windows 11 .

          Thanks for any help !  Ken

I am a longtime Thunderbird user. In the latest version, however, I cannot seem to find an "undo" command to correct a mistaken action while sorting new messages, such as a finger-slip that saves a message to the wrong mailbox or deletes a message I meant to save. Is there an "undo" for the last action taken?

It gives me no error message. Then the main screen appears with my folders as usual. (this does not happen on Linux Mint) I re-installed clean in 142 but same prob. Can I install 141??????????? I manually chose to go to 143 but no change in bad behaviour. I use only POP3 on a single gmail account I tried troubleshooting and if I select all it starts up quickly, but if I just choose to not do extensions it is slow. No extensions and stock theme. Account settings/Local Folders/Message storage points to my TBIRD folder on another partition so I can use it by either win or Mint and so it stays current/accurate for both - done that for years. Tell me what you need from the crash pending folders as there is a ton of stuff there. "geek" Thanks. (events is empty) (I found an esr for 140.3, I suppose I could try that...)

I changed my gmail account password, and Mozilla Thunderbird is losing its mind. I did the Oauth, logged in, but Thunderbird keeps popping up "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" over and over again, even though I keep clicking on "Allow"!

Seid einer Woche habe ich keinen Zugang mehr zu meinen E-Mails. Es sagt mir jedes mal "Anmeldung auf dem Server imap.gmx.net mit Benutzernamen "thias.weber@gmx.de" fehlgeschlagen" Ich hatte zuvor nichts verändert und alle eingegebenen Daten sind korrekt. Auch eine Anmeldung auf einem anderen Gerät oder bei einem Freund (bei dem alles Funktioniert) führte zu keinem Ergebnis. Neuinstallation auch nicht!

For a week, I haven't been able to access my emails. It tells me every time "Login to the server imap.gmx.net with username 'thias.weber@gmx.de' failed" I hadn't changed anything beforehand and all the entered data is correct. Even logging in on another device or at a friend's place (where everything works) did not lead to any result. Reinstallation doesn't help either!

pleace help!

Since awhile while, the items I send, don';t show up in the sent folder of that account. The complete folder is empty, which means that I also lost messages. I didn't make any changes to the settings, it might have happened due to an update maybe?

My other accounts work still fine. I checked all settings I could think of that might affect it, but haven't found a solution. I'm getting pretty desperate and hope someone can help me out.

It's an IMAP account. I've selected the 'sent folder' in subscribed. 'When sending messages, automatically' the 'place a copy in' is checked and directed to the email address. Also tried it with checking 'other' and select email address. I also just tried to 'local folder', but nothing happens.

I hope my description is fine. If more info is needed to tackle this problem, I like to hear!

Some software is using <pre> tags when pasting fixed-width text. Thunderbird 128.14.0esr (64-bit) displays it as a single line, with an horizontal scroll bar at the bottom.

I tried the solution in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1488239, but it doesn't work. I even tried adding "!important", to no avail.

I created a userContent.css in the chrome subdirectory of my profile, where ~/.thunderbird is actually a symlink to ~/.icedove. I stopped and restarted thunderbird, but have no clue that the file was actually read by TB. Is it possible to debug it?

Suddenly I can not longer send emails with Tbird in my AOL/Compuserve account. I can receive emails and save to drafts folder and read emails, but cannot send. I get this error: Login to server smtp.compuserve.com with username eber***@compuserve.com failed. Here is what I have done.

1. This happened on my main laptop and on my MS SurfaceGo2. Both have been working fine as of last night and have been for months. Both are win11 machines. 2. I generated a new app specific PW and still fails. 3. I went to my old win10 machine and same problem. 4. I am running TBird 128.14.0 5. On my iphone I can still send email via compuserve just fine.

Suggestions?

I used to be able to hover over (or right-click, I think) on a link and have the underlying URL display at the bottom of the page, which was quite useful for sorting out bogus emails and destinations.

I can't say when, but lately this behaviour doesn't seem to work any more. I've been through as many Thunderbird settings as I can find, hoping to learn that I've inadvertently turned this off and all I need to do is turn it back on again but so far have not come across anything that seems to address this.

Can anyone help? Any advice or suggestions most gratefully received.

Thanks in advance, Alun Bell

Why is TB duplicating local folders and then why I can't delete those duplicates. The only valid one is the highlighted one in the attach image.

And the message filter are not working properly?

Is there a way to schedule receiving emails in Thunderbird? For example, can I change a setting to receive my emails every half-hour, or every hour, or every two hours, etc.

Thank you very much for any help that you can offer.

The new Address Book version 145 has All Address Books, Address Book, Personal Address Book, and Collected Addresses. I created several mailing list in the Personal Address Book but I can no longer drag and drop from that book to the mailing lists. Suggestions?
