Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I have just gone to Beta and finally retrieved my contacts and messages. But I can't send or receive messages because I don't remember my password. How the heck do I create a new one?

Thunderbird must have updated and now the preview plane is enabled by default. I didn't enable it. And the View menu item is gone so it requires a web search to figure out how to turn the preview plane off. Thanks Thunderbird for wasting my time.

Instead of respecting my settings for default/preferred browser (in Linux, both in XFCE and KDE desktops) settings and instead tries to open in Firefox - which is not exactly wrong, as that is my preferred browser, *however* I've set my preferred browser to be a shell script called "firefox-open.sh" that runs the following code:

1. !/bin/sh

firefox -P default-release "$@"

That's because I have two firefox profiles, and just setting my default browser to Firefox results in error message that says: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

When I click on a link on Thunderbird, the same message pops out. All the rest of the applications I use respect my default browser setting, either directly following the settings, or by calling "exo-open" to open the URL, which in turn opens in my default browser. If Thunderbird used either method, it would open the links nicely in a new window.

This problem occurs on my CentOS 7 system. I know I should switch away from CentOS 7, as it's now a dead distribution. CentOS Stream exists, but it's not the same CentOS distribution and the old ones can't be upgraded to it. Because of this I'm using an outdated version of Thunderbird - I know that, and maybe upgrading it would solve the issue; however I *can't* right now, and I don't know why it does this anyway. My version of Thunderbird is 102.7.1, and I'd love to receive an answer for how I could either make it respect my default browser, or simply configure the command it uses to open link in browser - I could then just configure it to use either my script or the exo-open command, but I see no option for that in the settings, anywhere.

It's quite baffling that both the browser and the email client are from Mozilla, yet it's the only application I'm having trouble getting to open the links in Firefox correctly ;) I hope someone can advice me - other than to upgrade (believe me, I will do that just as soon as I can).

Hey,

Been using PGP with Thunderbird for some time and was wondering if there is a simple way to handle key migration.

Ex. I have my personal Key1 which is good for 3 years, then after three years I have a new key (Key2). Is there a way to re-encrypt all emails in my inbox to key2 from key1?

I don't want to loose my email archive when I change keys, nor do I want to keep an ever growing list of private keys just so I can refer back to older emails.

Hi,

I hope there is one kind soul out there that are able to help me resolve this issue for a user in my organization. This is the last resort as I've been doing quiet a lot of testing to get this sorted out.

Case: - Using Outlook 365 - Have successfully added the e-mail to Thunderbird through IMAP settings - I can successfully send and receive e-mail on both desktop and mobile (using Spark on iOS)

Problem: - When I send an e-mail on desktop, it is added to "Sent" folder on mobile. - HOWEVER, the issue is when sending an e-mail from Spark (iOS), it is not seen on the "Sent" folder on desktop where Thunderbird is used. What could be the cause of this happening?

What I've tried: - Testing a lot of different settings. This is the only settings where we can both send and receive e-mail on: IMAP: outlook.office365.com / SSL TLS / OAuth2 / Port 993. SMTP: smtp.office365.com / Port 587 / OAuth2 / STARTTLS - Removing and adding account more than 10+ times - Made sure, under "Synchronization and Storage" in TB, that the top checkbox is checked (Keep all messages in all folders for this account on this computer)

I might also tell you that syncing works perfectly for everyone else, however, they are using Outlook on both mobile and desktop and using the office 365 login option. Which Thunderbird does not have.

Anyone have any ideas on what I could test or try in order for iOS and Thunderbird to sync sent msgs properly? That is, sending emails from Spark on iPhone and getting them to the Sent folder in Thunderbird on desktop.

I print several e-mails once a month. I haven't tried to print from Thunderbird since last month when it successfully printed last. I have never encountered this issue in the several years I have owned this computer.

I'm using Thunderbird 114.0b3 on MacOS Monterey 12.6.5 on an M1 Mac Mini.

None of the other programs on my computer are having this issue.

I open up Thunderbird & try to print & nothing happens. The printer window does not appear at all.

I tried saving the email as an eml and as a text file. I works but skews the information.

I receive no error messages of any kind.

Hi there, How do I restore a Thread to messages for Thunderbird ? By mistake I clicked on "Ignore Thread" and now cannot see those particular messages in my Inbox. thanks Rob

I imported a google contacts export csv. Problem is the phone numbers format have no dashes between the different parts of the number. I want to import them and use a "-".

Any way to accomplish this?

I've been using Thunderbird on my Mac Pro (TB 102.11.0 64-bit) and recently some, but not all my messages are being downloaded. I could see that a few were on my server ok, but TB was just not downloading them all. Any hints on how to solve this?

Also as of some months ago, I also sometimes receive duplicate mails. I'm cautious about changing my profile because in the past when I tried some suggested problem solutions, I ended up losing a lot of mail which was a serious problem.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me through this...

So I have some problems with signing in to Thunderbird. At signing in with google, Google says that they found unusual activity on my account, even when I don't have bad activity. After trying to recover my account, it says that it can't sign me in to my Google account because of JavaScript not enabled. How do i fix this issue? Thanks!

I am running TB 113.0.2 and as of the last couple weeks when I go to compose a message from my main account the from field comes up with another accounts email address. I've done all the account setting/outgoing server rebuilds and made sure the user name and description fields are the same. I've checked in the individual accounts in the outgoing server settings. What next? I've deleted the account in outgoing server and added it back. Nothing seems to work. Never had this problem before. I would say it's been going on for about 2-3 weeks. Took me a while to discover it. I see the problem now. i have another computer running TB 103 and i have NO problem with it. So that tells me it's something TB messed up with one of the updates......

Greetings,

I'm certain this is self inflicted, but for the life of my I can't figure what I did.

I've got Thunderbird installed on two machines. One a Dell XPS 13 laptop, the other a Dell Precision Desktop, both with Windows 10.

I use Resilio sync to synchronize a profile so both machines are displaying the same. I'm very careful about not opening both at the same time. This has all worked perfectly for years.

Everything is fine on the XPS. On the Precision, all the text in the new message window is displayed in bold.

The odd part is the message isn't bold when received by the recipient.

Any idea what it is that I've buggered up?

I've uninstalled Thunderbird using Revo Installer, rebooted and then installed from scratch with no effect.

So, I'm guessing there is a setting that's been toggled in the Registry to cause this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Using TB version 102.10.1. Been recently getting messages from three different senders that I wish to delete before they hit my inbox. I read the help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/blocking-sender and followed the directions to set up a Block List filter, adding the senders to it. It seems to work automatically for two of the senders but not the other...I have to manually run the filter to make it work. Seems kinda pointless when, if it hits my inbox, I can just delete it anyway. Any ideas why it is still getting through the filter and how to fix it? See screenshots attached.

Outgoing and incoming server settings for email customizations are in different windows, causing a lot of confusion when setting up emails. When setting up and email the incoming and outgoing email server settings SHOULD be in the server setting menu, but some of those setting are located in a different menu entirely, confusingly.
