Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Most of my emails received in Thunderbird have a large amount of HTML script in the message are box, just under the usual from, to, date, subject, etc. It is very irritating and unnecessary. How can I stop this from happening?

Below is what I could copy from one emai; note that I was unable to copy the labels (Message ID:, etc. ) in the box to the left of this data--

I would like to know if I can set up separate folders with subject headings into which I can move and store emails, so that I can easily access all emails relating to a particular subject by opening the folder relating to that subject.

Hello, I exported all my Thunderbird data, including adressbooks in an export file called: Thunderbird_profile_backup...then I uninstalled Thunderbird, because changes needed to made in the incoming and ourgoing mail settings. I downloaded Thunderbird again and installed it, entered the new settings and all my emails came back in. But I still need to import my address book which I did not save in a csv. file. It is in Thunderbird_profile_backup... I sse files in there like this filename: abook.sqlite.... Do you know how I can import my addressbooks from Thunderbird_profile_backup.? with many thanks

Never had this before - "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."

Until this afternoon, the emails I wrote all had a word wrap at 72 characters. Now I get a long line of text without the wrapping. I can not locate any place in the settings (an area which I usually avoid because I don't know what half of those switches will do).

I'm old (80) and old school to boot, so please be clear in providing me with the steps I need to take to restore that 72-character wrap. Thanks for any (and all) suggestions.

P.S. Yes, I am a BitWrangler as I started with assembly on an IBM360 in 1982.

I recently migrated to a new PC and I'm trying to figure out how i got this behavior to work on my old one.

I have most of my main email folder structure as folders and subfolders in the "My Email. This is representative of my main email (lets say jeremy@jeremy.com for this example)

Now that I've moved over to the new computer and imported my settings, instead of the jeremy@jeremy.com email going to the My Email folder, it goes to a jeremy@jeremy.com folder.

There is no jeremy@jeremy.com folder showing on my old computer.

Is there a way to do this short of adding a filter to move messages as they come in?

I am getting no confirmation when I am deleting messages from the search results screen.

Reproduction steps

1. Write something findable to the search field (at the top) and press Enter
2. Select Show results as list
3. Select one or more messages
4. Press Shift+Delete

Expected behavior

A dialog window Confirm Deletion should appear just like when I am deleting messages directly from mailboxes.

Actual behavior

The message is deleted immediately.

Whenever I add an emoji from the list to a message, it does not appear where my cursor is, it appears in the Subject line. It wasn't always like this, but I don't remember which update brought it on. Is there a fix for it? Usually subsequent emojis go where I tell them to, but the first one never does.

I know that in the great scheme of things, this is a pretty trivial problem, but it's a little irritation every time I add an emoji to a message. Anyone else have this happen? Or have a solution? Thanks!

I think the problem started when I clicked on OpenPGP Key Manager on my Gmail account. Now I am just getting an error message at https://accounts.google.com/_/bscframe and I can't use that email address on Thunderbird. I have uninstalled the email account and reinstalled it, but it has not helped. I still get the error message. Can you help me?

The inbox listings move once an email is selected. This began upon an upgrade to Debian 11 which included an upgrade to Thunderbird. I had the same issue with an upgrade to Antix 21 recently. That issue was resolved with another upgrade to Thunderbird about a week later.

I receive gmail using Thunderbird version 115.7.0

When I open an email from another gmail account with image attachment, it only shows the file name. Example 'image.jpg' but not download or open option for the file.

Problem solved when I changed Message Body from 'Original HTML' to 'Plain Text'.

It's this normal? Is it a problem caused by the sender? Or it there a better way I can handle this at my end?

Dear Mozilla Team,

using Thunderbird I encountered a new problem regarding my Microsoft live.com account. I've had problems logging in, I'm asked for a new password. I've seen that this here seems to be the problem (and solution): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

I've then tried to follow the directions given in the article. However, I cannot change my outgoing smtp settings to Oauth2 (it only gives the options "password, normal", "password, encrypted", "Kerberos", "NTLM" and "No Authentification").

Now, I am not asked for new login data, but my mails do not appear either. It appears, that there is now no successful connection to the server (it keeps getting stuck contacting the host and sending login data; see image attached - in german).

Is there any fix to this?

Most of my email message filters do not run automatically but will run correctly manually. I am running Thunderbird 115.8.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10. I have 65 filters defined.

I have tried repairing the folders. I have even deleted the old folders and created a new folder. I deleted and recreated all of the .msf files. I have insured that the filer criteria is defined correctly (i.e. multiple condition are "match any", "contains", etc). These efforts have not corrected the problem.

This problem has been around for quite some time. Is there a plan to correct the problem or provide a newer version of message filters that works correctly.

Below is a copy of one of the Filter Log entries of an automatic filter failure. I have included the log entry of the filer being run manually following the failure entry. I have included a screenshot of the pertinent rule:

Many months ago, I created another context for the file explorer drop down to “Send To” Thunderbird, vs the Windows mail client.

Recently, this function stopped working, meaning TB does not open a new message and of course nothing is “attached”.

I detected the addition to the context drop down and then added it (again).

No luck.

My Thunderbird Version = 115.8.0

When I click on a file and open the File Explorer Send To drop down, Windows “shows Thunderbird in the context (my addition) but as noted I don’t have a new message with the file attached.

Correct I’m not using the Mail Client.

Yes, in APPS, Thunderbird is listed as the email client.

Thoughts?

I have a bunch of content in my Local Folders: Junk mailbox but none of it is showing up in Thunderbird. The Properties for the folder shows "Number of messages: 0", "Size on disk: 3.4 MB". I've tried the "Repair Folder" button but it makes no difference. The folder views as empty in Thunderbird.

Not sure when this started happening because I don't recall having this problem in the past. The folder permissions are the same as all the other mailboxes:

ls -l Junk* -rwx------@ 1 uid staff 3578520 23 Feb 08:51 Junk* -rw-r--r--@ 1 uid staff 3289 24 Feb 12:39 Junk.msf

Suggestions welcome.

My Thunderbird(115.8.0) and Windows 11 just don't get along. My Thunderbird has a Menu button in the top right that's just there for it does nothing when I click or right click so I guess no add-ons, calendar, etc. If I hover over it I see "Display the Thunderbird Menu" and that's it. When I open the program it doesn't go to my inbox, it goes to a page that I have to click on "Read Messages" to get to my inbox and in prior versions and I had Windows 10 this never happened. When I go to buttons on the left and click on "Help" and then "About Thunderbird" to check on updates I always get "Unable to check for updates due to internal error" and oh yeah now in Thunderbird I can't copy and paste, I can highlight but when I right click....nothing.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and even tried removing hidden folders, but as of now nothing has worked. I don't know what to think and I'm truly at a loss and it sure looks like I have to find another email program because right now Thunderbird just ain't working. I've been using this program I believe for over 20 years with really zero problems but my luck has apparently run out. Sorry for the mini series. lol

So I downloaded my Receipts folder from my yahoo mail to a local folder on my desktop. When I start Thunderbird it adds a copy of the folder and several other files every time over and over again. I delete them and they just come back. example: Receipt folder Receipt folder copy.sbd Trash Trash.msf Unsent messages Unsent messages.msf Is there any way to prevent this?

Hello I have noticed that global Thunderbird search (Ctlr+K) does not index email subjects. So, if I search for keyword which is present only in email subject and not in email body, then search does not return result. If I'm in correct folder and use quick search (Ctrl+Shift+K) with search by subject enabled then it find this email.

Is there any way to search globally by keywords in subject?
