Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

For some reason, this new version of Thunderbird (I think it is the one before 102.7.1) is placing emails in my junk folder, including messages I have not marked as junk. Before all the junk messages would stay in my inbox but they would be marked as junk. That is what I prefer. Now messages that are legit are somehow being put in my junk folder. Please please please help me to get Thunderbird to stop doing this.

I added the Google Calendar with writing and read access using the Provider for Google Calendar add-on (https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/ by following the instruction here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-lightning-google-calendar. I can see the calendar and edit it, but when I receive an email with a calendar event I get a warning saying something like that " you do not have Calendar that has writing enabled", and I have no way to add the event to Google Calendar. Now by mistake I clicked on "hide this warnings in the future" so the warning is not there anymore. Therefore 2 questions:

1) How can I make sure I can add events I receive by email to my Google calendar?

2) How can I re-instate those warning so I can give you the right warning and I see them in the future?

Thank you a lot Best

Hello everybody,

we use 1 commom email address (info@whatever.com with IMAP) and we want to free up space on the mail server by archiving older emails on a NAS, but we still want to be able to search them in TB. We managed to set up the local folder structure for all of us on the NAS. We have set up succesfully the same NAS folder fol all of us. Questions and problems are the following:

1. the new content of the Local folder (located on NAS) was synched only after a TB restart. (one of us archived an email and the others saw it in the archive only after restarting TB) - but it is not a big issue, we can live with this.
2. the problem appeared when Person 1 moved an email from the Local folder (located on NAS) back to the Inbox on the mail server. The email on the mail server was again visible for everybody (due to IMAP) BUT the archived email disappeared only from the TB of Person 1. The archived email remain for everybody else, even with TB restart.

As I mentioned before, our goal is to free up space on the mail server and keep archived messages somewhere else (on aour NAS for ex.) and reach all the email (from server and archived ones) with the TB search fuction.

Any ideas are welcome.

Hi. I'm looking for a way to block message removal by the server in the IMAP protocol - the "(server) append only mode" (it should be still possible to delete/move message from Thunderbird).

Why? I see 2 main use cases:

1. The (corporate) server has message retention set globally (e.g. to 1 year) which "cannot" be changed. Users might want to keep their "important" email longer (and in addition, keep it in the same folders as before, not using the folders copy in the "Local folders" space).

2. Due to the unexpected situation - a server error, fire in a data center, a ransom attack, malicious email provider - all the email (or some of them) are removed from the server. Thunder would sync with the server removing the messages from the synchronized folder on a computer (sure, backup is good, but for the "silent action" - e.g. part of the emails deleted (or encrypted), it might take too long to detect that problem and still have a valid backup).

The are some (not perfect) workarounds, including:

- keeping old emails in the "Local folders" - two places to search (or many if you have a folder hierarchy with the automatic filtering)
- a separate, local IMAP server to keep an "append only" copy of the message (e.g. isync, offiline imap), possibly to be used by Thunderbird (instead of the upstream IMAP server)
- using POP3 (with its own downsides :) )

An obvious downside of the implementation in Thunderbird - which users of that feature have to be aware - is not doing any delete/move operations on the server (e.g. with the webclient or some other IMAP client). Nevertheless, to fulfill the aforementioned requirement it doesn't seem a high cost.

Questions: 1. Is it possible to achieve in Thunderbird itself? 2. Is there any API to help implement that as an extension? 3. Have you - by any chance - tried to implement that using the third party tools (e.g. a local IMAP server which is used by TB) and can recommend any solution? 4. (Bonus) Do you think it would be an useful addition to Thunderbird?

I've recently joined a committee which has about thirty members. They frequently e-mail eachother, and all their addresses appear on each e-mail (all too often in the 'to' box, I have to say). I've managed to shift them all into the cc box, but I would like to be able to combine them into an address book group. I've tried copying them out of the cc box, but that doesn't seem to work (because I can't select them all simultaneously). Is there a way to do this withot having to copy each address individually into a new address book group? Regards, Tim Dawson

thunderbird changes my email viewing settings. It will member the settings until I starts the computer. Using PC, Windows 10 (latest Version) and Thunderbird 64 latest version.

Dear all, morning from Italy

I'm still finding the way to settle in Thunderbird app on my Mac Book Pro a Copany email that is from Outlook and Office365.

Even if i found the code for the setting, when the process is finalized it is possible to send an email well received for another personal account (i try in this way) but the sent email is not yet registered in proper folder in Thunderbird

The same is for an arriving email by third personal account

My necessity is to store all the communications cause important and cause i DON'T WANT use the web with Outlook.com page open on Apple.

Thank You so much for the attention and the support.

N.B. Let me sfecify is not the fist time i settle sucha kind of email company account.

I have had an emoji add-on menu permanently installed for many years that stayed to the right of my email message pane. It disappeared when I had a new hard drive installed in my PC. I just downloaded 2 emoji add-ons but cannot access them. Help!!

How do I increase the number of "move to" or "copy to" folders in Thunderbird version 102.*?

Currently mail.folder_widget.max_recent is set to 25 but I only have a maximum of 5 recent folders showing in the 'move to'/'copy to' command

I have just migrated from Windows 10 to 11 following purchase of a new PC.

I receive daily messages from two group. Both appear to paste a page into the circular. In my old set up, these pages fitted the width of the screen. Now they use about one-third of the width.

How do I increase the size of the page to make it easier to read? I could read in browser, but would prefer to read in the email.
