Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Dear Team,

There are two problems i found out in in newer version of thunderbird.

1) When we try to forward message, we never get space to write and it comes with different fonts and preformat, when we click it to Body text it comes with preformat automatically without our given command to Body text. Kindly fix it so we could use more comfortably.

2) When we get email sent by ourselves we click on edit as new see 2nd pick, when we click from 2nd account, signatures comes from new account, in previous version when we use CTRL Z, signature's were vanished, so we were more comfortable with that version, see pick 3 and now we delete manually which comes with extra space.

I previously commented on same but no response. Could you please able to solve this issue?

Hi,

I am creating a thunderbird extension for cryptography. My JavaScript code contains libraries such as tweetnacl, crystals-kyber and crypto-browserify. I bundled my code using browserify in hopes of getting it working within thunderbird. My code is working when run within VScode using node.js.

I encounter the error that 'webcrypto' is undefined. I assume this means that thunderbird cannot support webcrypto, which I think crypto-browserify is reliant on.

Is there any way to get webcrypto and therefore crypto-browserify working within thunderbird? Or alternatively are there any alternative thunderbird-compatible libraries that can perform the same functions? This would need to include Key Derivation Functions for example.

Thanks

When I reply to a message TB adds Re: at the start of the subject line. I have always found this annoying and have to delete Re: Is there any way I can stop it adding the Re: ?

Hi,

I finally took the plunge after 21 years of Outlook v2003. I have Tbird mostly set-up to my liking with some chrome css customization's.

What I am trying to do now is see if there is anything i can do with the message composition formatting toolbar.

Primarily I would like to move the "Link, Anchor and Image" icons out of the drop down and have them stand-alone.

I see that i can move the borders and create more room vertically but i cannot find any toolbar addons that would give more icon choices etc or a way to move those from the drop-down?

thanks for any info/guidance/suggestions

Hello, I've been happily using Thunderbird for a long time with TB set to start up in Settings/Apps/Start up. However, this has recently stopped working - when i turn off the computer and turn it on again, Settings/Apps/Startup has TB turned off! I also have it in shell:startup. Any ideas how to stop it turning off?

Hi, I got problem with fonts in Thunderbird. I set all fonts to: Roboto and system font to Roboto Light but every new email have bold topic and part of email content. After marking it "as read" topic changes to regular but part of email content is still bold. Tryed to reinstal TB, does not help. I`m using Manjaro Linux and Thunderbird 115.9.0 How to change this ?

Good afternoon to all.

I use Message Filters to automatically send certain emails to two specific folders upon receipt, based on some defined rules (mainly who the sender is). Yesterday, I accidentally clicked "Run Filters on Folder", and the actions for my filter rules ran on every folder in my account, including my Archive folder. I could not find a way to stop the action once it started, so hundreds of archived emails were pulled out of the Archive folder and repopulated into my two specified folders. In each of these specified folders, I had a handful of emails stored in order to be able to come back to them as reference or to deal with later; I remember what some of these emails were, but I don't necessarily remember all of them, and now they're mixed in with the hundreds of emails that were brought back from the archive.

So, I have two main questions:

1. How can I prevent this from ever happening again? Is there a way that I can tell the message filters that a filter should never be run on archived messages?

2. Is there a way I can "undo"/reverse what happened, so that the previously-archived emails are sent back to the Archive? Or is there at least a way to identify which emails were in the two specified folders before they were inundated with all the messages from the Archive?

Thank you.

I just subscribed to some feeds on Thunderbird for the first time and it seems like the maximum number of articles downloaded per feed is 25. How do I change this? (Screenshot of the number of messages per feed.)

Hello everybody,

I have includes 4 different email adresses in Thunderbird. All of them as IMAP. All the time everthing works fine, but for the last 2 weeks Thinderbird doesnt syncronize correctly.

For example: Thunderbird sees, that there are 8 unread messages in inbox, but at the same time Thunderbird does show me only 5 of them in the inbox. (When I login the the eMail-provider then there are all the 8 messages)

The "repair"-tool did not help so far. Diffrent mail-adresses show similar behavior.

I need a good idea.

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I have used local Thunderbird folders for my Gmail accounts for a long time, and have now started using Protonmail (via Proton Bridge to Thunderbird) as well. Sending and receiving Protonmail via TB works fine.

I want to keep my single local inbox, sent folders etc. I set up a filter on the TB Protonmail account to copy all incoming emails to the local inbox. Works fine. I have also configured TB's Protonmail account to copy any emails created in TB's Protonmail account to the local 'sent' folder. All good.

I now want to get any emails sent via the Protonmail app to be copied to my local 'TB sent' folder - but have failed to get this to work.

If I create a TB filter to run on the Protonmail IMAP 'sent' folder, it CHANGES the separate TB inbox filter from running on the IMAP inbox, to run on the IMAP 'sent' folder!!!

I want to have two separate filters for Protonmail IMAP - one for 'inbox' and one for 'sent' - but they keep resetting so that both run either on the IMAP inbox or 'sent'. I thought filters were separate entities, but clearly not.

Am I missing something, or have I stumbled across a bug?

Thanks in anticipation.

Some of incoming emails cannot find in inbox. Did not shows in my inbox. I must made some filter by accident which I cannot remove it. What I can do? I see them in inbox of other PC or mobile.

I just upgraded to MacOs Sonoma 14.3.1, and all of a sudden my "normal" Thunderbird notification sound became an obnoxious, loud sound that I can't stand. I went into Thunderbird sound settings and discover that the incoming mail "play the following sound file" box option is greyed out. It seems like Sonoma wants to do it's own thing... I've tried going into my Mac's system settings, and under "sound," I can choose various alert sounds, but none do anything to change the Thunderbird notification sound. I called AppleCare, and they don't seem to know anything about it yet. I guess more folks need to bring Sonoma notification issues to their attention asap... My question: Is there a way under Thunderbird's (v115.7.1) sound settings to "un-grey-out" this "play the following sound file" in order to overide what the new MacOs is doing? Thanks, Jack

Why does Thunderbird INSIST on directing web links to Bing?

I have changed the Windows Default browser to FireFox.  I have restarted my machine and restarted Thunderbird multiple times.  When I go to Windowz settings it tells me that FireFox is my default browser.  Yet Thunderbird continues to direct links from an email to that CLINKING CLATTERING CONGLOMERATION OF COLLIGINOUS JUNK that is Bing.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have Thunderbird 115.7.0 and my Menu button does not work, I click on it and nothing happens. I'm using Windows 11 and this is just one problem I have since "upgrading" to 11. I can't find away to have Thunderbird to the inbox and I can't dd extensions(I think)without the Menu button. I should have stayed with Windows 10.

Als ik de mail open en er staat een mail geopend, kan ik niet de ingekomen mails openen. Pas als ik eerst een ander item ipv postvak in open, kan ik pas weer op postvak in e.e.a. bekijken. Hoe verhelp ik dat?

I am a totally blind user and I really need the View > Sort By > From menu option in Thunderbird 115 to be changed from disabled to enabled. I am strictly a keyboard user and I can't find instructions to do this that don't involve using a mouse. Can someone please provide instructions on how to activate this sort option using only the keyboard? It is possible, once I have the keyboard focus on the right place, for me to emulate mouse clicks using the keyboard with my JAWS 2024 version screen reader. I've been banging my head on my desk in frustration over this for some time now. Changing this menu option did not make Thunderbird easier to use, especially for blind users. Changes like this have the opposite impact on accessibility. Otherwise, I love this program!

Dear Mozilla, My email folder inbox says I have 1 new email, but I cannot find the email in the inbox window. Even when I filter for new messages I can't find it.

Also my new message count used to be blue. Now it is grey. But then goes back to blue when other emails come in.

Not sure if I accidentally blocked an email address or changed some settings. How can I fix this?

Thank you

I have a large number of message filters which divert messages to folders on Subject. So messages I sent were diverted to those folders on sending. Mea Culpa

Emails I send to a X@yahoo.co.uk are not saved in my default sent folder. I have checked the setting in Account Settings. If I send to Y@other CC X@yahoo.co.uk , the message does get saved. I am using POP to send/receive emails.

This seems to have started in December 2023.

I am using Thunderbird 115.8.0 running in Debian Buster.

I would really appreciate a solution to this isssue. Thanks

I've added 1 Gmail account and 2 outlook accounts on thunderbird today. Thunderbird synced Google calendar and contacts, but it failed to do the same for the Outlook accounts. It did not detect outlook calendar and contacts. Kindly help me to fix the issue.
