Thunderbird Community Forum

In Firefox, to send an email, you click on the NEW EMAIL button in the tool bar and the email app appears. When you click on the TO button to add email addresses, the ADD RECIPIENT page appears and a list of people and their email addresses normally appear.

THERE IS NO LIST OF PEOPLE AND EMAIL ADDRESSES. They have been moved to the PEOPLE folder on the left side tool bar below the top MAIL icon. The email list in the PEOPLE folder is still in tact

My question is how do I correct this error which appears to have happened during an update.

One would think if you highlight/select the PEOPLE email list it could be moved back to the ADD RECIPIENT list/folder but that does not appear to be possible.

What is the solution????????

Everything has been fine for several years but this morning I now get error: TB could not connect to server mail.twc.com, the connection was refused. Spectrum says everything is good on their end. What do I have to do to "fix" Thunderbird? I can't send or receive any emails from 5 accounts with Spectrum and the emails are there when I log in at WebmailSpectrum.net..

I just deleted the folder C:\Users\alan\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird and replaced it with a backup I made a few days ago. To my surprise, when I opened Thunderbird, I could see messages that I'd downloaded today. What is going on?

Trying to sync my outlook and gmail calendars in Thunderbird 140.10.1 and consistently getting an error I haven't seen before: "status.Settings.138". Event log reads: Request: <Settings xmlns='Settings'> <DeviceInformation> <Set> <Model>Computer</Model> <FriendlyName>TbSync%20on%20Device%20fc68426d642076cda9a60b0dd8f3</FriendlyName> <OS>WINNT</OS> <UserAgent>Thunderbird%20ActiveSync</UserAgent> </Set> </DeviceInformation> </Settings>

Response: <Settings xmlns='Settings'> <Status>138</Status> </Settings>

Now in v 150, I can no longer modify the tools in the reading pane. Used to be able to but it seems to have disappeared. Of course layout is modifiable but spacing out the tools (so that I don't hit the wrong button in error) or turning some off is no longer an option. The More|Customize does not do much for what I want. Thoughts?

I set up a new account last week and need instructions on how to navigate and use this forum. I cannot find the question I posted. I got no email saying it was answered. I also need information about these codes I keep getting in my inbox after I've already logged in. I don't know what to do with them. I'm a newbie and need an instruction pdf if there is one. Thanks.

‘how do i get thunderbird to stop asking for log-in credentials to an account that i removed from thunderbird? every time i open thunderbird, a dialog box opens asking for my passord to an old account, that has been removed.

Good day, thank you in advance for your help.

I have two questions: 1. Do you find Thunderbird release [version number missing] better than ESR? Could you share your opinion?

It seems faster and applies all changes more quickly.

I will test it sometime if 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available simultaneously. I have no idea what kind of channel that would be.

Problem/Question:

In Thunderbird release 64-bit POP3, the font changes to blue for every second email (receipts). Can you tell me how to display every email in black? It's only the second email in the inbox that's displayed in blue (receiving emails). When composing, everything looks black. What do I need to change?

Question 2: Regardless of whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit, and whatever channel, I see updates to the latest version. The program itself has an option to view older updates, but everything is white. I only see white and nothing else. Is this intentional? I can't see the update, even though it's current?

``` thanks for the information

To install a Windows 10 update (I'm on extended support) I told it to update & shutdown. I fired it up this morning and Thunderbird is asking for credentials. It usually just runs & downloads emails. I enter my password, then a code from authenticator app. It shows the page below in an embedded browser window that has a checkbox and an "Agree" button. I check the box but the Agree button is still disabled. Dead end. I cannot connect & I'm stuck.

Please assist,I had to delete Thunderbird off my Desktop Computer & After that I copied all data from Thunderbird to my Desktop,BUT BUT when opening thunderbird,It comes up with as per attachment I have re done this 3 times & it is a stuff up & nothing like what it looked like or what the laptop looks like How can I fix this Problem for which I think I created Thank yoy Darryl

Hello,

I am writing this message in regards to Thunderbird's GPG support after v68, in the last hope that someone suggests a solution that moves me away from version 68. I consider the current state broken.

My PGP keys reside on a Yubikey, but smartcard usage has been broken after v68, as none of the supposedly correct setups work. It should work pretty much out of the box, but it doesn't. The whole idea of moving away from Enigmail without having a properly, fully implemented support, including for smartcards, or at least for working with GPG, was utterly misguided, IMO, and broke the once nice client.

I enabled gpg usage and fetching in Settings, I imported my pubkeys to Thunderbird's PGP manager, then added my external key (with GPG). Everything looks fine. But when I click an encrypted message, I get "The secret key that is required to decrypt this message is not avaliable". Nah, it's available and it's there! The pinentry isn't appearing at all and this is the result. I believe this is TB's fault, as the pinentry correctly appears with everything else I do, also with TB 68 + Enigmail. The setup is the same. I am using the latest Gpg4win.

Settings:

mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg - true mail.openpgp.fetch_pubkeys_from_gnupg - true mail.openpgp.alternative_gpg_path - has no effect whether set or not

gpg-agent.conf:

enable-win32-openssh-support default-cache-ttl-ssh 900 max-cache-ttl-ssh 1800 no-allow-external-cache default-cache-ttl 300 max-cache-ttl 3000 ignore-cache-for-signing allow-loopback-pinentry

gpg.conf:

utf8-strings auto-key-locate local use-agent

FYI, adding "pinentry-program" has no effect on solving the problem, whether set or not.

Your suggestions are welcome!

I have been using Thunderbird for ages now with no problem, but I suddenly realised that no recent emails were appearing from my Gmail account. I have tried everything suggested on line to resolve the problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, and deleting and re-entering my acccount details but neither the IMAP or SMTP servers will connect to Gmail. I have reset all of the server settings on Thunderbird, and have checked that Gmail is IMAP compliant (which, apparently, is is now automatically). I have spent hours trying to sort this out and am just at the point of abandoning Thunderbird completely, but I am loathe to do so if there is a solution. The latest error message i have received is "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" but I don't know what else I can check or change.

The Notifications Bar seems to be missing from the top of an email message that is being shown below the list of messages. So there is no "Options" box where it is usually shown, on the Notifications Bar, so that I can manage Remote Content in the message being shown.
