docx and xlsx attached files don't open with I click on them. I want them to open in Word and Excel. Nothing happens. I have to save them to my Desktop and then I can open them.

doc and xls attached files open when I click on them.

I can't find any associations in "files and attachments". 

I'm using version 140.7.0esr (64-bit)

Hi, I did something stupid. I accidentally deleted an entire year's worth of emails. I was in the process of archiving them, and mistakenly thought that the originals had been left in the inbox. I thought I needed to re-archive them, so I deleted the copies from the archive folder, and then - this is the stupid part - emptied the trash in the archive folder. When I went back to the inbox to re-archive the emails, I realized they were no longer there. I have not compacted the folder. Is there any way to recover the deleted emails?

I just got thunderbird and I'm so grateful to the ones who have immediately answered my questions. Now I'm trying to transfer my email of thunderbird from my pc to my cell phone. I keep trying to take picture of the QR code and it won't take it. I tried with my regular camera and it took it fine. Can you help me? Thank you for your time and knowledge.

I have just acquired a replacement PC and installed Thunderbird, and (as happened on previous occasions) I am unable to send emails because the outgoing server settings that were automatically detected are incorrect, and even feeding in those I recorded on the last occasion does not work. I have had a long conversation with somebody at Plusnet Help Desk, who agrees that the outgoing server should be mail.care4free.net and the port number should be 25, and the connection type should be SSL. He also thought that on my "Account settings" screen there should be an option "Account actions" through which I may be able to solve the problem, but this is not there. I think that last time I had this problem, some genius on this forum managed to solve it, and hope that this will again be the case!

A search showed that others have experienced this same error message, but as far as I can tell, they all were unable to access their email. These messages began appearing about a month ago. They pop up in Troubleshooting Mode. They did not in Windows Safe Mode. AVG and ZoneAlarm are not the culprits.

Thunderbird (current version) freezes each time an email is closed and when it does so, it freezes the entire computer. Computer: MacBook Pro 16"; Tahoe 26.2. The freeze last for 2-5 seconds before it releases.

lost emails from thunderbird working thunderbird this afternoon & it jus just wiped out all my emails every one it even deleted some local folders is there any way of recovering these emails thanks for any help

Suppose I see 10 incoming emails on my server (core.com). In thunderbird, when I click to download them, I see a message saying something like "downlaoding 10 emails". After that only 2 or 3 of them have been downloaded, the rest deleted. Help! This started happening a couple of weeks ago. I have tried downloading and re-installing Thunderbird, to no avail. Should I change my account settings?

Bonjour, Ma femme, victime d'un hameçonnage, a effacé le mail frauduleux que réclame l'assurance Allyatys. J'ai pu récupéré tous les mails effacés ( plus de 800) en employant la méthode de X-Mozilla-Statuts: 0000. Mais bizarrement ce mail frauduleux manque à l'appel dans la période indiquée. Pouvez vous me dire qu'elles en seraient les raisons ? Par avance merci pour vos réponses. JL

Updated Thunderbird and lost all my local folders and address lists. I imported CSV addresses to new version and can view them but when I go to use them in an email they do not show up. How do I access them?

Hi there, Just installed Thunderbird email. Before uninstalling Outlook 2016, I tried to forward some messages to Thunderbird, but Thunderbird will not show emabedded images or attached photos, regardless of format (JPG, WEBP or PNG) Example: Instead of the image embedded in the email, I got this: g:20260201194950ee722ec300f042669bef9585ca10p0eu&R=1KSFSC960P76L&T=O&U=https %3A%2F%2Fimages-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fnav%2Ftransp.gi f&H=8QFJAA9HOQ1LXLAKNXLPWFHXGSSA&ref_=pe_109088481_1104238771_opens>

I have Original HTML in Thunderbird settings, not changed anything. How do I resolve this? I appreciate your help

My contacts address book is provided by Apple iCloud, of which I have added contacts with avatars for every contact I've received legitimate emails from. However, Thunderbird fails to render these avatars. The result looks like the attachment. Perhaps Apple is using HEIC for them?
