Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Every time I opent Thunderbid I must scroll down to see the newest messages at the bottom. It is very annoying. Also it happens when I change the folders. How to fix it?

Thanks

Hi My problem: My hotmail account will no longer send emails. The error message I get is

 From Microsoft: "We can't sign you in Your browser is currently set to block cookies. You need to allow cookies to use this service."    (NB my Firefox browser cookies is set to 'standard' and the settings had not been changed.  Plus I've tried playing with the settings, makes no difference)
  From Thunderbird: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again."

When? Started on 6 or 7 Oct, At this point, both receive and send failed. Last message was just before a Thunderbird update. We were in France, using hotel internet, which Microsoft hates. (so I didn't try to fix it until we got home).

Other info: However my hotmail address still worked well on my laptop's Outlook; internet login, Thunderbird on another laptop (Win 11, and more recent installation of Tb) and on my phone (Android, FairEmail), ie has not been blocked. My usual laptop is Win 10. All other emails within my Thunderbird are working fine. The outgoing SMTP for hotmail is: smtp://smtp.office365.com (smtp://smtp.office365.com) See image attached.

What since: A forced update of Windows (as rec'd by local techy) restored the receive function and speed, which had become sluggish. Hotmail still can't send. I've logged in and out of my microsoft account online, and have changed my MS password (and therefore that of my hotmail account), plus restarted everything lots of times. No difference. I have not got office365 except what came free with windows. I avoid office/MS apps where possible.

PLUS: Discovered that my Tb profile is humungous, 45gb, of which a fair chunk is this last couple of weeks. Most of it is not visible emails. Any advice ? - can I start a new profile and ditch the old?

                   Help please......................

Thanks Eunice Lord

Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?

how do I see a message sent from one computer and have that same sent message shows across all computers/devises in sent folder of same account? Do I hate to go back to the originating computer to see that sent message. Often can't remember which device message was created.

I have a new computer that I have installed thunderbird on and have been using for a couple of weeks. I already migrated by address book over, but now need to just migrate my folders from my old computer. How do I only migrate folders and not my whole profile? I don't want to loose what I have on my new computer. I should mention I currently only have the folders in Thunderbird that are set up when you install the program. I have not made any new folders.

Is it possible to not have a default sender selected when sending emails, so I'll have to choose every time I write a new email? I know I can select a default, but I have to switch between multiple email accounts rather often and want to avoid using the wrong one by accident.

I guess I can report bugs here. Anyway, when trying to create an email, and using the "Bullet" option, I install a bullet, then when I try to put a word in bold or regular text, the text jumps above the bullet. Also, when typing a line that is not bold, if I have to backspace for a spelling error, it turns the font to bold every time. It seems there are a lot of bugs when writing emails now. Try using "bullets" in an email and try to type behind that bullet and see what happens.

Is there a practical solution to downsizing the inbox display. I usually keep only 3 or 4 messages in the display box so I can see the current message completely. What I have now is a minimum of 9 messages displayed and I can't see the entire current message in the current message window. It is unacceptable.

I am on a mac, and also have an ipad, and iphone. With older versions Thunderbird was synced among these 3 as well as on line at my gmail site. None of this is happening. Now and I have to manually delete emails at all 4 Where has the sync function gone?

Without notice, Thunderbird today required me to sign-in to my Google account and then produced a window in which it said it wanted to access to my mail, contacts and calendar; in order to compose, send, share, delete permanently, among actions on my personal content. I tried to "Deny" (see below) but the window just returned and returned and could not be deleted. (see "Uploaded images", below for the content of this window).

Is this a scam? Or the result of a hacker?

i have been away from my pc for 6 weeks and cannot access thunderbird. it repeated states that the login server IMAP.telstra.com failed my email hillsec@bigpond.net.au i have tried changing the in server and outgoing server to match my ipad and iphone which can receive emails. please help me to restore everything in thunderbird.

I created my email signature and saved it as an HTML file. When I add it in my account settings, it displays the logo I have as a blank box. It also adds extra spacing in between each line. How do I get it to display the way I saved it?

April 15, 2024 Thunderbird is Insecure There is missing functionality issues

1. How to Disable the "SHOW PASSWORD" Button in Security Settings 2. Either implement with a Password Password option, only to show the Passwords or 3. Allow the ability to Disable the Button

back in 1916-18 the ability to disable the "SHOW PASSWORD" Button worked with with a variation of the following at that time user_pref("pref.privacy.disable_button.view_passwords", true); I believe I created and used chrome.css or chrome.js

At some point this functionality ceased to work.

Now, I have scoured the Net to figure out a Solution simply setting the value to True, gets reset by Thunderbird, TB does not save it. it always reverts back to False and the button remains available and does not disable

I have tried everything, adding it in user.js, settings.js, userChrome.js I put it in every directory, nothing seems to work

Do I have to Lock it? - How? confusing and disappointing.

Please provide a simple step by step Solution to the problem

Thank you

How do I go about fixing error message regarding Incoming Mail: UID Fetching Failed

I tried support page, but all threads archived. Not sure how to proceed? Be kind too as I'm also pretty old!

I see that there are 9 messages...Tried tools, checked account settings and couldn't find anything.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Bad day. My sink is stopped up too!

Since applying update 115.10.0, Thunderbird will not close correctly and will not relaunch until task is ended in task Manager. This is true on a windows 7 PC and windows 10.
