Thunderbird 140.0 (64-bit)

I cannot reorder some folders within my Local Folders. It only happens with some folders - =not all of them. I can drag and drop the folder to the location I want but for some folders one of the following things happen.

1. The folder immediately return to its original location, that is, I can't move it at all or 2. I cannot drop it where I want but I can drop it in a nearby location and then shuffle the folders around it so it ends up where I want it. For example, if I want to put folder Y between folder X and Z, I can't drop it in that location but I can drop it before folder X (or after folder Z, or in any other nearby location) and then move other folders around so I end up with the correct X,Y,Z order.

In ALL cases, when I exit Thunderbird and then restart it, the folders re-appear in their previous locations - that is, as if I hadn't moved them at all.

This only happens with some folders - and not necessarily the same folders each time - sometimes folders which were in their correct location re-appear somewhere else, but this is a rare event and I've only observed it a couple of times. I have disabled 3rd party backup software in case this was reverse synchronising the files - it was putting the old versions back (a long shot!) but the problem persists.

I have done a clean re-install and are using the default locations provided during the installation.

I could try to create new folders, move the emails to those folders, delete the existing offending folders and then rename the new folders to the desired names and then try move them to the desired locations but this is just a hack and maybe it won't work.

Hi all,

for signing PDFs with my SMIME certificate, another 3rd party software (LibreOffice) uses the Thunderbird profile folder (nssdb stored which is located there). After some investigation by myself, it could be a problem within Thunderbird certificate management itself.

Situation: I've a current and some outdated SMIME certificates for my mail address. But all for one mail address.

Because the current SMIME certificate is not accessible for LibreOffice, I removed temporary all of my outdated SMIME certificates from Thunderbird by the builtin certificate management, i.e. the list of my personal certificates was set to one entry (=the current certificate) in Thunderbird. But even then, LibreOffice lists only an outdated certificate (which is not visible anymore in the Thunderbird builtin certificate management).

Therefore I've checked with certutil the nssdb entries in the Thunderbird profile folder. Surprisingly, there is an outdated SMIME to my mail address contained (no further, even not the current one). Even after removal of those outdated certificates via the builtin certificate management. The current certificate is never listed; always only an outdated one.

This looks like a difference between builtin certificate management and nssdb within the profile folder (or may for another storage location of the certificates)?

certutil -L -d ~/.thunderbird/myprofilefolder --email mymailaddress

Thanks in advance!

How can I stop Thunderbird from displaying its own advertising/donation page on my browser when I open Thunderbird? It opens this page on my default browser, no matter which is chosen: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/128.0/whatsnew/?locale=en-US&version=128.6.1&channel=esr&oldversion=102.8.0 If the browser is not open, it will open it.

This is the result of trying to keep Thunderbird from automatically upgrading. In newer versions, the option to choose not to upgrade has digressed from difficult to not available. It did such an upgrade, so I de-installed and reinstalled my original version, only to have this issue.

I was very satisfied with my old version AND see no need for new any of the "features" or look. And, especially, once such a setting is made, don't want Thunderbird, or any other application or app, changing it back. This is a violation of privacy at best.

Worse yet, Thunderbird is attempting to penalize the customer for making a choice on their own computer by infecting the machine with nuisanceware.

Hello, I apologise if this subject has already been discussed somewhere but I haven't been able to find anything that specifically answers my question.

I run Thunderbird on two desktop systems running Windows 7 Professional and a laptop running Windows 10 Home. The desktop systems are running Thunderbird 115.5.1 (32-bit) and the laptop 139.0.2 (64-bit).

I use a file synchronisation program to keep my data on all three systems in sync, which also acts as a backup. I also use it to back up my main desktop system to a portable hard drive.

I should like to know if it is possible to include Thunderbird data in the synchronisation process, specifically mail messages in various folders (e.g. Sent, Read - including subfolders, Deleted etc.), Address books and Calendar data. I have successfully transferred the message files and their .msf companions. The sync software detects and updates changed files and this seems to work smoothly but I haven't been able to do this with Calendar data or Address Books. As far as I can see this can only be done by exporting the data to iCalendar or csv files then importing to the other systems which is obviously not convenient for something that I am doing on a frequent, regular, basis.

A final problem I have encountered relates to message filters. I have not been able to find any way to copy these to the other systems. Copying msgFilterRules.dat doesn't work and I can't find any way to export the filter data.

I should be most grateful for any assistance you can offer.

Regards, M. J. Thompson.

For the last week or so, my Junk mail folder (on Local Folders) has remained empty, which is highly unusual. I finally found all the junk mail in a sub-folder of the Junk folder called Local Folders. I have all my accounts set to move junk mail to the Junk folder in Local Folders. Somehow, the Junk folder has had a subfolder created called Local Folders, and all of my junk mail is being moved there. This is without me changing any settings as far as I'm aware.

I've looked all through the account and global settings, and I can't figure out how this happened or how to get it back to the way it was, where just looking in the Junk folder in Local Folders shows all the junk mail. There certainly shouldn't be a Local Folders subfolder of the Junk folder.

Is this a folder corruption issue? Should I manually delete that folder? Any suggestions

When cancelling my email address in Thunderbird and trying to reopen it as new address, I'm getting the message "registration on the server failed".

Then I tried to open my email address on the laptop of my wife in her Thunderbird: there it works perfectly.

In addition I tried to open her email address on my Thunderbird: I'm getting the same message "registration on the server failed".

I'm working with Windows 11.

She is still on Windows 10.

Any ideas?
