Hi All,

I was writing an email, and completed a spell check where I had written "inital" instead of initial. I clicked on replace with Initial as I have done with many errors in the past, but this time the change wasnt made to the text before the email was sent.

Now, whenever I write inital as a test, it is no longer underlined in red and the spell checker is happy with it.

I have checked the personal dictionary list to see if I added it by mistake but its empty. Also, If I choose another english dictionary i.e. English (United Kingdom) it is once again recognised as a typo.

Is there a way for me to remove and reinstall the Australian English dictionary, or is there an easier solution I can try?

I am a relative newcomer to Linux but can follow terminal directions if provided. Thanks for your help!

hello, i had a friend and his father needed urgently to migrate his thunderbird with 1 email to a new computer but he wasnt able to setup the emailaccount in a new german client. i helped and the problem was that the setup asks for the password but it meant the password from the emailprovider to allow thirdpartyapps access. please consider to improve the german setup wizard by adding a new textline to clearify. best regards

I recently move to a new Windows 11 computer and seemed to have done the move correctly, given that everything showed up, and I could send and receive emails.

For no apparent reason, however, the keyboard suddenly began mistyping in the message portion of the email message frame but not in the header ("To," "Subject," etc.) areas. For example, when pressed, z appears as {, y as z, h as i (but followed by a space), 6 as 7, d as e, and so on.

I tried various fixes, which didn't work, such as pressing windows key + space bar simultaneously, or left alt + space bar simultaneously, to no effect at all: nothing appeared, nothing happened. I looked in "Settings" to see if there were any other keyboards listed, which there weren't.

This is happening nowhere else, in any other application, but here, and I've never seen anything like it before. Also, I've used Thunderbird for quite awhile and never saw nor heard of anything like this.

I sure could use some help. Thanks.

Some of them are Spanish (tilde, ¿, accents, etc.). Settings/about:preferences#general says my preferred language is English(US). How do I change the keyboard layout back to standard American English?

Hello, I am on the latest version of Thunderbird on a Windows 11 computer. Previously with a Windows 10 computer I had no problem spell checking e-mails in French. However with a new Windows 11 laptop the French dictionary although installed shows as not loaded on the dashboard and unsurprisingly does not function. I have restarted both Thunderbird and the laptop. No result. Any advice most welcome.

Best wishes,

1. I downloaded the german language pack for correcting my writings. To use ist I have to go to options and writing correction and make a makr there. Works perfect until the next email than I have to make it again, no way to store it ??? I always jumps back to english

When typing messages with incorrect word, Thunderbird advises the error, but does not offer alternatives. This worked on my old PC, but not on newly installed version on new PC.

Thanks.

hello I have bought with donation thundrbird, but is is in the wrong languange. I am installin g italian now, ant it asks me to contribute again. Can you reimburse the first payment thanks you laura bonanni

I tutor a number of students in math which necessitates using Greek letters. Easy enough in WordPerfect etc but I can find no usable info on how to do it in Thunderbird.

As you can see in the screenshot, the umlauts are missing in many emails. Unfortunately, the corresponding fonts can no longer be set in Thunderbird; I use version 140.6.0esr (32-bit). Where can I set that ä, ö, ü, ß (...) are displayed normally? Greetings from Berlin, Markus

Thunderbird has suddenly started autocorrecting a particular word in my emails. I type the word "Ronnie" a lot and for no apparent reason, a window with "Rog" and an X comes up and it autocorrects to "Rognie" - see attached screenshots.

I've looked online and someone suggested it could be something to do with my address book but it happens when I am composing the email itself.

My name is Roger and I sometimes sign off emails "Rog" but this autocorrection has only just started happening and I can get rid of it.

AnMoS Tahoe 26.2y ideas, anyone?

Hello Thunderbird supporters

This is a problem, because some faulty emails land in the folder "Junk", others in the folder "Spam". It is NOT possible to re-change these folders in german language. I don't know what's the cause for this changement - I didn't use a new source for my Thunderbird.

Thank you very much for your efforts

Kind regards Peter
