Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

A suggestion for Thunderbird developers.

Currently attachments are hidden behind a collapsed menu, why?

Could we please start with that menu open? It would save me 50 clicks a day, which might be a few hours a year.

I use PhraseExpress to insert an em-dash {asc 0151} for me. It works in all applications except Thunderbird.

It used to work fine until a recent Thunderbird update. Now, instead of entering the em-dash, it enters a line break followed by the em-dash and followed by an additional line break.

What can I do to restore this to the way it used to work in Thunderbird?

I am running Thunderbird on my PC, with two accounts, both on IMAP mail.

I want to run Thunderbird on my laptop as well, with exactly the same interface and accounts.

Can I copy the profile and ini from my PC to my laptop? Will this work?

I need to generate notices for the sender of all incoming email messages. I've been searching and trying now for several days without success. Is there a method to export all the messages for a folder to a readable file on a local disk so it can be read with a custom program? I'm hoping this is something that is available but if so I cannot find where. Thanks in advance for any ideas/pointers/instructions.

I have Thunderbird on my laptop and also on my desktop. I have had for years.

I have not experienced problems. I like Thunderbird.

However for 9 days now I can'r receive emails on my desktop even though, with the same settings I can on my laptop.

I have spoken at length with my broadband provider (Sky) and my business web hosting company (Ionos). Neither has been able to help. They both recommend contacting Thunderbird (ie Mozilla).

I am using the same email address and server password as I do on other devices including Sky Web mail on a browser, successfully. However it doesn't work with the Thunderbird desktop email client I have installed (which is also the most up to date).

Please help

Our organization uses GoDaddy which worked fine with Thunderbird until GoDaddy migrated to Microsoft Exchange 365/Outlook. According to GoDaddy, Microsoft does not allow any of the authentication protocols offered by Thunderbird for SMTP outgoing messages.

Thunderbird has helpfully added a Microsoft 365 option for SMTP settings in the latest update, but when you click that it says that you have to get a third-party paid app called OWL to make it work.

My question to Thunderbird: is this going to be the only answer to this problem or is it being worked on? Background is that the organization I work with has the GoDaddy Account so I have no control over that choice. I've used Thunderbird to keep my email out of the clutches of Microsoft Outlook and would like that to continue. I've also been donating to Thunderbird for years so I'm not opposed to paying. I just don't think I should have to use a 3rd party app for basic functionality.

Is there a way to edit a group contact entry? I have not found a way to do that but I seem to remember in an older version(s) it did work. I am using Version 102.7.1 (64bit). Thank you, Jim

I am using Thunderbird Supernova and am pretty happy with it. However, I cannot figure out how to specify a different time zone than the system timezone when creating an event. For example, if I just bought a flight that departs at 4PM London time and I am in Miami when creating the event, how can I create this event without having to convert that time to my current time?

Surely this is possible but I can't figure out how. Thanks for any help!

Hi! I love that you are always updating Thunderbird but it's a lot of work to have to navigate through advanced settings to trick Thunderbird into running plugins that suddenly become "outdated" frequently.

Can we please have a regular setting we can turn on so "run outdated plugins" no matter the version number?

Many plugin creators don't update their plugins, which are just fine and sometimes do very simple things and work perfectly well even if not tested.

Take it as a suggestion, of course.

I'm trying to donate money but the dialogue box won't accept the email address;

pjlspamfilter-thunderbird2@yahoo.com

it rejected the first one I tried too. I have tested this email address and can reach it using a gmail account. I use disposable addresses for all my contacts to assist in identifying who is giving out my email address and secure me from fraud. This is the first time I have had an address rejected.

Has anyone received this message or know how to fix the issue that may be causing it?

The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 554-'5.4.14 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop ATTR34 [BL0GCC02FT003.eop-gcc02.prod.protection.outlook.com]'

I can no longer see the .ics files that were once used. There are some sqlite files but they are unintelligible to me.

I would like to be able to read calendar entries, without modifying anything.

Would someone please point me toward any documentation, or advice.

I have 2 accounts on Thunderbird and one account has become redundant so I plan to remove it, however I am reluctant as I do not want to lose historic emails that I have moved to some local folders that I have configured. Will the local folders remain if I remove one of the two accounts?
