Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Hello;

Using Thunderbird v115.10.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 PRO.

Once a month or so, I need to send some emails from another application. Keep getting the warning about "Another application is attempting to send mail using your user profile" (image attached).

OK... a very good warning.

But... I don't want to have to click <OK> every time an email is sent.

So... I unchecked the checkbox.

Warning gone... works great.

Now... I want to re-enable that warning in case a rogue application tries to send an email.

Have looked, and looked, and looked under \Tools\Settings and \Tools\AccountSettings.

Can not find how to re-enable this (if it's there I am looking right at it and not seeing it).

Can anyone help?

Also used regedit to search the Windows registry, but could not find it.

Also... is there a way to change settings from a CLI (would be nice to disable this warning, send the emails, then re-enable is all programmatically.

TIA.

Bo...

Hi my email address (all services) has been migrated to a new company so I've got a new server name and new imap and smtp port numbers all of which has been duly filled in in the correct boxes (as far as I know). The new server name is mail.mail.coop the old one is smtp.iomartcloud.com. Everything seems to be working ok, ie. there's the new account listed in the left-hand window with all the folders and subfolders and all the emails in the correct places, all working fine inc. send and receive. The old iomartcloud account is still there just above it with all the folders etc. but no send and receive because the service has now been closed by the server company (all my emails have been transferred to the new server. If I go to my webmail page also all is ok inc. send and receive. I have set the new mail.mail.coop as the default and I've been trying to find out how to delete the iomartcloud one.

The problems I have are two: 1. I can't seem to find any way to delete the iomartcloud account from thunderbird. 2. Whenever I close and restart thunderbird it's forgotten the mail.mail.coop account/identity. I have to go to new account > existing email (my email address hasn't changed) and put in name, password etc. It all works fine again but next time I close thunderbird......

I know the server is ok and I know the passwords, port numbers, server addresses, etc. are ok because it all works fine each time I create the new account (for the 50th time!), so there's some other problem I haven't yet identified. I've searched on this forum and elsewhere, and hunted all around the settings menus but to no avail.

I wonder could the two things be connected? If I could delete the old account maybe it would solve the other problem. Note that both the email address, name and password are the same for both accounts, only the server address is different (and the port nubers maybe as well). And could the second problem be to do with the security settings of my browser or os? (brave browser, linux zorin os).

Sorry rather a long post! Hope someone can help me! Justin

Clocks went back one hour in Santiago, Chile last week and Thunderbird does not recognise the new time, although Windows (10) does.

The calendar line show the current time to be one hour ahead of the time on Windows; i.e., the Windows time has updated correctly, but the calendar time has not. Adding non-local events to the calendar causes them to be displayed one hour ahead of the correct time.

Changing the calendar setting to use the system timezone, or use America/Santiago has no effect that I can see.

Typing Date() in the error console of Thunderbird gives the correct time, as per Windows.

This also happened in the last time change here in Chile.

How can I fix the Calendar to see the same time as Thunderbird and Windows?

I checked with my website/email host who show no problem. I was able to see new messages I missed there, so the site is working. I checked with my internet provider, Centurylink (DTTH) who says I'm paid up and there are no restrictions on my account, which shows active. Settings hadn't seemed to have changed, but I received 2 domain emails since then, nothing else. I noticed that the program updated right around the time of the problem, but it comes up and acts normally. 'tis a brain scratcher, it is.

I have installed TBSync for my addresses/contacts. Syncing works correctly between Thunderbird and iCloud (both ways). However, new entries created in Thunderbird (although correctly syncing with iCloud on the net) do not appear in the Mac Contacts app on the Mac desktop. Strangely, these entries appear on my iPad Contacts app. It is only entries created in Thunderbird that do not sync through to the desktop Contacts app. Yet I can create a new entry in my desktop app and it syncs through to Thunderbird correctly. I can also edit any entry on Thunderbird created on an Apple device and the changes go through to all my devices. It seems that the format used when creating a new entry in Thunderbird is creating a problem in the syncing process between my iCloud account and the desktop app. Any ideas?

Ubuntu 22.04, TB 115.10.0 (64-bit). A system update occurred recently, and TB was in the list to upgrade. Now, TB transacts email & such w/o problem. However, when I use the window exit ('X' upper right corner) or the File ->Quit choice, a status bar shows "Clearing Trash" or the like, and remains on the desktop. Eventually a system message appears that TB is not responding (wait or force quit). Nothing happens until force quit is used.

Same behavior screen is seen if I try to use the TB troubleshooting menu option.

Any suggestions how to diagnose this? Thx.

Yesterday I downloaded Thunderbird to Windows 10 (64-bit), added my Office 365 (for work or school) account, rocketmail account and iCloud account. I created unified folders for the three accounts. I have downloaded the TBSync add-on with the required CavDev (?) one to connect my iCloud calendar.

After successful use the first few times, now Thunderbird becomes unresponsive within 5 seconds of opening, every time, rendering the program unusable.

Troubleshooting mode does not fix the problem, so I assume it's not the add-ons, nor does starting my PC in Safe Mode (F4 at startup ie no networking), so I assume it's not antivirus.

I uninstalled Thunderbird and re-installed from the website today. All my accounts were there (so I wonder if the uninstall didn't work properly, although I assume that it's just the files left on my computer that the new Thunderbird installation is accessing).

All these attempted fixes leave the problem unchanged: the window freezing within seconds of opening.

Because the program becomes listed as 'not responding' and greys out on further clicks, I have to hard-close the program using Windows, selecting 'Close the progam'. Clicking 'Wait for the program to respond' leaves the screen greyed out, and nothing changes for at least 20 minutes (the maximum I've tried waiting it out). This also means that it does not yield a formal crash report, because Thunderbird does not recognise it has crashed.

On one occasion it did create a crash report, which I submitted. I am not sure what behaviour allowed this to happen, and I have been unable to reproduce it. That particular crash ID was as follows:

Crash ID: bp-41096385-eebe-4ccc-a47e-f76300240417

Any help much appreciated! I'd love to stick with Thunderbird if possible.

I have had message filters set up for a long time. Recently I tried to make some changes (adding one filter, deleting others, changing the response). I find that if I close Thunderbird and reopen it, all my changes are gone! How can I get the filter changes to stick?

Since this morning 99% of my tasks disappeared. When trying to reset the lost tasks I remember by converting emails to task or by entering them as new tasks from the taskbar, they do not save and do not show up.

I restarted thunderbird a few times. Whilst doing that there was an update. I think windows. Thunderbird tasks still not working. Checked updates and Thunderbird is up to date.

Converting emails to tasks is extremely important to me.

I had to completely reset my pc and APP Data ahs been deleted to all the Local folders went with it. I had an IMAP setting, Is there any way I can retrieve content from server or from Thunderbird? Thank you

Hello everyone, I've been using Thunderbird with the Plugin FiltaQuilla as a tool to print attachments of incoming mails (this are alarm information for a fire brigade). Our dispatch center sends the mails out using PGP for encryption, the decryption works properly. Since FiltaQuilla cannot work on encrypted mails, I forward incoming mails to the same account which removes the encryption. The strange situation is: if the filter is executed automatically upon arrival of a new mail, it forwards the message, but does not attach the attachment. If I run the filter manually, it does as it is intended to. See the screenshot for details: the mail comes in at 5:53, the automatic forwarding arrives at 5:59 but without an attachment. My manual filter-test runs properly and includes the attachment at 8:22. I've updated Thunderbird only yesterday evening to V 115.10.1. Before the mayor update to 115, I had the feeling that this problem did not occur. Please let me know if and how I can provide more details such as logs. Best regards Andreas Schultz

I cannot dismiss calendar invites sent to me from others on the Ubuntu platform. I can dismiss invites that I have initiated. FYI this doesn't seem to be the case on the windows release - I can dismiss "foreign" invites.

The only way to dismiss these invites is to delete them from my calendar (which I prefer not to do). Thanks.

At first it worked OK...then I was no longer able to get emails and the new company took me through and reset Thunderbird setup,,,once that was done all my folder structure disappeared, and all the info stored in the folders... I have been trying to sort it out, but the company has not been able to do so...and today they suggested to contact Thunderbird to see if they could help... Thank you in anticipation Franco
