Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

why do you change my message selection when I delete an unrelated message??? Sometimes you delete a message that I haven't opened yet (and don't necessarily wish to open at this time)!!!

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I find that when I click on links to take me to website through my email in Thunderbird that I will get an error message that reads "we could not verify the certificate, reason=wronghost"

But, if I copy link and copy into browser it works fine. There is a break in the Thunderbird email to the browser. This does not happen with all links but there are about three or four that I get regularly where it fails.

I have talked to a tech guy and we have tried different things and it always comes back to a break in Thunderbird email.

How do I fix this problem?

Thank you, Monica

Good morning I have updated Thunderbird to the lastest version 115.6.0 (64-bit) on my Mac with Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261) and now I can not see my mailboxes and folders. Have tried everything - nothing works. Rest bookmarks work. Contacts and other functions. I can create and send letters from any of my mailboxes, I can search letters in all mailboxes in search field, but I can not see on the left bookmark nothing - empty list of mailboxes. I have download the program again, reinstalled, changed Thunderbird file in Programms - same thing. Please help.

Trying to add an Gmail account on Thunderbird. My email address and password are correct. What to do? Using Surface Pro 8, Windows 11. I can access Gmail account directly but something happens when I try to add it to Thunderbird. My other email accounts, outlook.com & comcast.net installed without problem.

I have two principal address books, collected and personal. I can add new contacts to these address books. Under collected, I have three lists of group contacts. I want to add a contact to a list in the personal address book. Searched under Firefox and lots of suggestions to drag n drop. Ha ha, highlighting the contact, the moment I drag it across the box towards the list of address books, I get the no-entry symbol, circle with a bar through it. Why is this happening please? How can I copy across the address books or lists? Why is drag n drop suggested when it doesn't work? I'm using Win 10 Pro vers 22H2 64 bit on a Dell PC. Firefox 118.0.2 64 bit. Your aid will save my mind !

I have spent the last TWO HOURS trying to find an answer to what should be a simple problem, and it seems not to exist!

I need to find out WHERE Firebird lists my email account PASSWORD.

I do NOT want to reset my password.

I simple need to know WHAT my password is, and since I set up the account [actually a few accounts] several years ago, my notes are evidently null and void, because none of those passwords seem to work.

My email is through verizon.net, which is one of the problems because they gave all of their email coltrol to AOL, which thouroughly sucks, and they seem not to have anyone who speaks fluent English who can assist me in FINDING the current password!

If ANYONE can help, it would be most greatly appreciated!!

Sorry I have no idea what any of what is in the Shared Data means

I've just now noticed the Threading automatic default grouping/marking of messages, and it is appalling. Thunderbird/Mozilla either needs to eliminate this (with appropriate warning notices, perhaps) or at least give us the ability to NOT link various messages. It's not only vastly annoying, it can cause severe real-world problems if anyone not in the CC or BCC fields is receiving these messages that were not intended for them.

I suppose for now, the only way to NOT link things that were never meant to be would be to change the Subject when discussing important topics.

Either that, or get a whole new mail service, which I'd prefer not to have to do.

trying to open a link google sent me in regards to deceased fathers email content followed instructions can not get it to work> been to a computer store for help and they can not get it either>

ear Jasmine Tietz: We have completed our investigation and have sent you an email containing a link to a secure portal to electronically download the requested email content available in the Gmail account, INTOTHEFUTURES0957@GMAIL.COM. In order to open the email content (the file that ends in “.mbox”), use any program capable of reading .mbox format files. One such program is Mozilla Thunderbird. To use Thunderbird, please follow the instructions listed below: 1. Visit Mozilla.org and download the program Thunderbird 2. Follow the instructions and install Thunderbird on your computer. Close Thunderbird after you have completed installation. 3. Open the following path/folder on your computer: 4. On Windows XP/2000, the path is C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\ Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\ 5. On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\ xxxxxxxx.default\ 6. On Windows 7, the path is C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ xxxxxxxx.default\ 7. On Mac OS X, the path is /Users/[User Name]/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxxx.default 8. Look for the “Mail” folder and then the folder named “Local Folders.” 9. Copy and paste the “.mbox” file into “Local Folders.” 10. Open Thunderbird. When you open Thunderbird you'll see the mbox file under “Local Folders.” Google cannot provide further technical support. If you are in need of further assistance please visit the website listed below or contact an IT professional.

I have added a new Category for an event in the Calendar.This shows in the list of Categories for that specific event, but is not stored for use in another event. So is there a way of adding Categories that can be used later? Thanks, Alan

Yesterday I set up a new password. Then said sending a code. Cannot get the code as I can not get messages or send out messages on your site. My other device is my phone to get a code. I am only in your site as I kept clicking the screen several times and you popped up. Forgot my original password. I am getting your messages on Spectrum Webmail. At the end of January I could not sent out an email; then could not receive an email. Was working fine up to then. Do not know what happened. Just want to get back on Thunderbird as I have important folders and my contacts.

When I go into All mail I can't delete messages, when I highlight & delete they go into unwanted. I try to empty that and they all return into the all mail box again. I am running windows 10 on a PC using Linux. Can you please assist as my mailbox is nearly full Regards Chris

Since Thunderbird 115.6.1 was installed files disappear when I move them to an Archive or Draft folder. How can I fix this and how can I recover those files from the server?

I have read the solutions for threading and well they either don't work or are not options. There is no View>sortby. I have a view> toolbars view>layout and view>folders none of which even have a sortby under them. I can not deal with this threading. I hate to give up Thunderbird but I cant work like this. HELP
