Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Hi!

  This single group recently "lost" all it's header information. I was able, by right-clicking in the upper left corner of the box, to get *most* of the headers back. "Subject" is missing and is not in the list of header options (I'm thinking that it should always be displayed). This only happened on one group. Any ideas?

  Thanks!

There is little help with Contacts/Address Book. How do I put the address books in the l/h sidebar into a specific order like alphabetical, for instance? How do I change the order of contacts from alphabetical by first name to alphabetical by surname?

Where are the setting controls which do this?

I think this happened after the recent update to 91.7.0, may have been 91.6.0. I lost, at a minimum, an entire folder. Doing a filtered key word search, Thunderbird shows that the folder, thus the e-mails in in that folder, are in Account NONE. How do I access this account so I can move the e-mails back where they belong? C:\Users\3TIER\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles does NOT show a "None" profile in any of the sub-folders

I was receiving the "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox". I uninstalled AVG Anti Virus which resolved the problem but now my inbox is empty. Can I retrieve them?

I cannot point out "which" version caused this (looks like 91.2.1 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1355115), but on my Windows 10 x64, the Preference -> General -> language setting was messed up. It showed and was set up to English (Canada) in lieu of English (US).

I used the settings from here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-to-set-up-thunderbird-to-sync-your-outlookcom/266ddd8f-250c-4e8a-9799-009d992be8e3

" 8. Set the Incoming settings as follows:

         a.       Server hostname: imap-mail.outlook.com.

         b.      Port: 993.

         c.       SSL: SSL/TLS.

         d.      Authentication: Normal password.

9. Set the Outgoing settings as follows:

         a.       Server hostname: smtp-mail.outlook.com.

         b.      Port: 587.

         c.       SSL: STARTTLS.

         d.      Authentication: Normal password.

"

It worked fine until March 2022, but now every time I restart, Thunderbird keeps asking me to re-enter outlook passwords. Please help me fix it!

I have not been able to convert from Eudora to Thunderbird. I've read several posts that say that the last version of Thunderbird that had native import from Eudora was version 17. Any idea how I can find an install for 17?

Hi,

why can i no longer see the count of mail in a folder? ie; number 67 shows beside the folder. all mail read or not. If i get an answer another hopefully quick question- is there a manual or an index of how to use advanced preferences? i'm very sure this a quick check or uncheck or make a slight change in a keyword, but opening it up without knowing what i'm doing.. well that would just prove past all doubt that i'm a nitwit

Thanks,

The 23.2 GB I had in my old profile did update to the new profile on a new Windows 11 computer. I copied and pasted from Profile to Roaming. The copy and paste worked as described, but when I open Thunderbird it doesn't go to the update profile. I'm attaching a screen copy of my new Thunderbird app data. All the 4/24/2022 files were updated today, some marked "default" and some marked " default release. The file which has my big profile data from the old computer is: "euvmgbhx.default-release" 23.2 GB. I'm not a technical person, but have spent years restoring my Thunderbird profile data using the old procedures. Can anyone help?

suddenly on Thursday afternoon (4/21/22), Thunderbird could no longer retrieve mail on one of my gmail accounts. I could still send, however. when I clicked 'get messages' I got a popup: One account. All of Google. Sign in with your Google Account but it won't let me sign in-- just keeps asking for my email or phone number but enter it and it asks the same question again. at the same time, I could get mail on my other 2 gmails but couldn't send from them. a few times when I tried to send mail, I got a message about my settings. I hadn't changed any settings, they are the same for all of my 3 gmail addresses. the other two emails that couldn't send, suddenly resolved on its own today and I can send emails on them again. I have full function with gmail (on browser, phone, laptop) just not with Thunderbird on my desktop. Was there an update on Thursday that did this to me? Have you been hearing from others with this problem? Did Google do something? thanks

A) I got a new printer, but Thunderbird, when asked to print an email, sends it to the old printer address, where there is no printer now, so it hangs in the queue. How do I reset the default target printer for thunderbird? [ the Thunderbird help response was obscure and unhelpful. Something about prefs, which I could not find] {My other programs send print to the new printer successfully, so the system knows the default printer}

For background, system: Windows 10 64 bit

B) The Thunderbird mentions junk folder somewhere, but my installation does not show me a junk folder icon to look for things that might have gone to a junk folder. {One organization's email to me always disappears. I cannot see any list of whom I might have identified as Junk, and no idea how to remove them from junk, nor indeed to verify that it is going to junk} [ my futile attempt to follow obscure instuctions and "drag the junk icon to the task bar" did not succeed, either because that is out of date, or I did not get right where and what was the desired -task bar-]

hellllllllllp  !

How do I completely turn off BLOGS & NEWS FEEDS (B&NFs). This function somehow became active in my TB; I made no known changes to cause this function to become active. I want the Inbox Screen to always look like #1 Screen Shot Image.

When I open a link to a web page in an email message, I get the message: "You already have a subscription for this feed". This may be preceded by the message "Verifying the Link", then get the "You already ..." message the next time time the link is clicked on. In both cases the link is prevented from opening and B&NFs has been inserted into the left hand panel on my Inbox Page . This is seen in #2 Screen Shot Image.

In the left hand panel on the Inbox screen I right click B&NFs>select Settings>and get #3 Screen Shot Image. Then select Account Actions>Remove Account>[and remove the account]. see #4 Screen Shot Image.

When I return to the Inbox, B&NFs is removed and the screen again looks like #1 Screen Shot. But if I click again on a link in an email, the denial sequence repeats. And even the link from the Mozilla Support suggestion “This does not solve my problem” generates the "You already have a subscription for this feed" message. So I cannot say problem is not solved and have to again enter my request for help on the TB request for help form.

Why does T-Bird want us to change our account permission(s), so as to allow T-Bird to access our Google email account(s)? This will allow T-Bird to read, compose, send and permanently delete all of our email from Gmail! By clicking Allow, we would allow the T-Bird app and Google to use their information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. Deny_______ Allow________ Why should we allow T-Bird to permanently delete all our email from Google’s server, and with what justification would T-Bird delete our email messages?

Thunderbird on Windows 10. New problem. Every time when sending an email from Hotmail a window appears asking for my Hotmail password. Enter password and email sends. Please where and how can I enter the password once to prevent this happening every time?

In Thunderbird 91.7.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 calendar event snoozing does not work properly.

When a notification appears with more than one event in it, snoozing a single event causes the entire notification box to disappear with all events. The non-chosen events are not snoozed, which is good, so the notification reappears in a few minutes. But it's an annoyance and it used to work properly.

Thunderbird sends email and CC: very well, just recently it will not send Bcc: of the same email.

I continue to receive this message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

I have noticed that several of my e-mails from Gmail are not downloading into my Thunderbird. It's e-mails that WERE coming over fine months ago (ex. Discover statement, utility bill). They are not going Thunderbird spam or Gmail spam. I can see them in Gmail when I log in there. I hit "get messages" and they still don't come. I've added the e-mail addresses to my contacts, but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

With a recent Thunderbird update, there are no longer reply or forward buttons on an opened message. Where did they go? I was able to add the buttons back to the inbox window by right-clicking on the toolbar. But for opened e-mail I've tried looking in Settings, Preferences, right-clicking on toolbars and rebooting the machine and cannot find a solution. Help?
