Sorry, but since you're stubborn and don't support German, you'll have to be satisfied with the Google translator

So, what's with the version 115 of TB? It constantly asks for the passwords of the accounts, although they are all present and working in the profile folder.

If the developer now thinks that I am creating everything again just because the 115 version no longer wants to read the old profile, he has cut it. WE users are the ones who work with it every day and the developer can't just decide what's better, WE users are the ones who have to deal with it, so make sure you get your Schrottige115 version up and running, because NO ONE will want to use it that way.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but I'm pissed off, Mozilla has been driving TB and FDF more and more against the wall for years. NO improvements just crap.

I receive incoming email on Thunderbird, but cannot send mail. I have used Thunderbird for years, never updated it and this problem just started yesterday (7/25/23). I have gotten an error message saying "login to server smtp.nycap.rr.com failed". I have called my ISP, Spectrum, and ascertained that my email account with them is functioning, so the issue is something with Thunderbird.

Thunderbird is completely unusable in the latest release. Attempting to set up a gmail based account results in

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to 192.168.1.250. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

That's it. No options, no explanation, no KB articles, nothing. It just doesn't work. But why is Thunderbird trying to open a web connection to my local machine? If it's trying to talk to itself, why can't it? This is clearly an issue with trying to authenticate to Google as it happens after auth, but come on, this is a given requirement these days. If your app doesn't work out of the box (MacOS 13 btw), it may as well not exist for the OS, so this is very confusing.

Trying out older versions was a real comedy of failures as well. Too old and it's just a disaster. Too new and it just self updated to 115 again which doesn't work. So kinda seems like this is not a functional app anymore, at least not on Mac. Baffling. I guess it can only be used with legacy style email systems.

i have version 115. this is what i expected and its still not possible to adjust : 1. I only need one address book instead of these three:1.all addresses,2.personal ,3.?collected I don't like/wish having this group of 3. Can I install to have just one book? 2.i close tb with opened items. when i open tb these items are still opened. can i install this way: tb opens without these items and goes directly to inbox? 3.I can not drag down from an opened mail - customize toolbars- items that I see in general such as archiving ,unwanted, ? all reply ...Why not? regards

A complete novice, so please keep things simple. I recently changed email host/provider and was advised to back up my existing Thunderbird profile which I did. I have now an Sbd file. I want to reinstall the profile and I have used the import prompts on Thunderbird, but I dont seem to be able to import anything.

At the moment I do not have access to previous emails, addresses etc. Please advise, thanks in advance. Stuart

Hi. I'm having an issue after the most recent update. I'm trying to create a new message filter, but the pane is too big, and I can't reach "save" button.

I'm unable to shrink the pane, because when I do the whole pane just moves down. When I grab the top to move it back into place, it's the same size.

I've tried change system resolution, and autohiding taskbar, but doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

In Thunderbird 115, each time I want to reply to a message, the cursor defaults to the "Search For" box under address book contacts. In previous versions, it went to the message pane where I could start the reply message. How do I fix this? Thank you

Hi,

since I switched to the new version of TB, some of my mails are empty in the preview (just a white screen) and also if I open them normally. Same mails are working fine with other mail-clients (iOS) or the standard version of TB.

Any idea to fix that?

BR, Robert

Hi,

Due to AddOns-issues I always remained on 60.9.1 but wanted now to give 102.13.1 a try.

Everything seems to work (with all addons disabled) except the Program Exit.

With a copy of the same Profile (profile which contains many connections to imap and pop servers), terminating 60.9.1 was very fast, a matter of 1-2 seconds but terminating 102.13.1 takes 1-2 minutes.

When I look at System Explorer, after clicking Exit, not much seems to happen during those 1-2 minutes (till all processes are suddenly terminated). I also noticed that Thunderbird 60.9.1 did have 1 active process, Thunderbird 102.13.1 does have 4.

What is going on ? Or is this "normal" behaviour with those more recent releases ? Very annoying, so I'm switching back to 60.9.1 till I can solve this

Thank you

I find it to be a big oversight that the project is so mature but still doesn't have RTL support out of the box. The (unofficial) add-ons that supply this functionality are yet to be updated to be compatible with version 115. Isn't it time to make this part of the base program?

Since the last update my Thunderbird keeps frizzing up and I have to use Task manger to close it and then open it again. This happens all the time! I need this email program to work right.

Thanks Bob Williams

Since v115 TB seems to only default to open to "Local folders" which shows a rather fussy page of "choose what to set up" and lots of other unwanted guff. Is there a way to get it to open straight to my "Inbox"? See image.

I have tried installing Thunderbird four time on my Windows 10 PC. Each time it gets to 33% and stalls. Most recently, I have reduced, compacted and repaired my outlook PSTs but the outcome is unchanged. AN additional problem is that the installation process does not offer to import calendars.

Hi

I have endured weeks of Thunderbird conflicting with Hotmail.

Occassionally it works.

Today is another 'no go' day cannot trans or recieve. Hotmail online works but not Thunderbird.

What is going on at Mozilla ?

I have to use MSN now for my email server since your software no longer works!!! I can't send anything through your software now that you "upgraded" your TB software without my permission. Not sure why, but MSN is now saying that Outlook won't work with TB. So, good luck with that.

Thunderbird has suddenly decided that it will split the header and sender information of an email from the text message which means that if I try to print the whole message the header and sender information appears on the first page and the rest of the body of the text is on the following pages even if the message is only one page long.

The message appears correctly when I view it it's only when I go into Print Preview that the separation shows and even if I reduce the margins or remove the header it still splits the first page. The Config Editor appears to be correct in terms of the height and width of the paper being A4.

I'm not sure but I think the system was upgraded recently as this problem only started this week.

Can anyone help me?

I've been a Thunderbird user for many years and have always been impressed with its ability to send most spam messages to the junk folder. However, the new version of Thunderbird, while visually appealing, no longer filters spam and I have to send the messages to junk manually. What is wrong with the new version?

Thunderbird recently upgraded (?) to Version 15 on my Windows 10 laptop. Since them, when I go to look at the "Trash" folder, I get the message: "Unable to open the summary file for Trash on username@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long." I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting Windows 10, but the error is back a few hours later.
