When I tried to import my OpenGPG keys from the "Select File to Import...", I found that it cannot display the hidden files or directories.

Did I miss a setting for this? What can I do to show the hidden files?

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

Hi use Firefox 56 for testing purposes sometimes.

I ran into this error, however, the links are dead that go to the solution. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-disabled-or-fail-to-install-firefox#w_for-older-versions-of-firefox

This is one of the dead links. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-on-fix-52-56/ Can it be restored please?

I made a folder and saved emails in that folder. A few days later they were all gone, empty folder. I followed suggestions on here, did the repair, erased password and replaced it, did the subscribe, and now even the folder is gone. I spent hours trying to research this and repair it and now I have nothing.

I am trying to set up a visualization of the columns of the main interface. Here's what I do:

1. Click on the list icon in the top right corner.
2. Uncheck the columns I want to hide. Specifically, From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB).
3. Apply the selection to all folders: click on the icon in the top right corner, apply columns to.. > folders and its children... > select account > Confirm

These actions produce immediate results. However, the next day or a few days later, when I reopen the program, the column display changes. Sometimes in the main folder (inbox), sometimes in the subfolders.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to keep the desired column configuration stable?

For 2 years have been trying to get Thunderbird to access my mail from The Messaging Co. My old Win 10 laptop has no problem. My new win 11 laptop won't. I have configured the servers over and over but everytime I try to access Thunderbird I get "could not connect to mail server: the connection was refused". Who is refusing the connection? And why? I have re-downloaded Thunderbird several times but the problem persists. I am using Firefox. And using the in and out servers as per my win 10 laptop.

Hello!

I started using Thunderbird quite recently. After an unsuccessful installation, Thunderbird deleted it, as well as deleted the profile folder. In order to perform a clean installation of the program.

But after installation, Thunderbird started, to my surprise, already with accounts, and even with add-ons installed. I have not found an answer to my question about the complete removal of the program on the Internet. The only article found from this resource turned out to be without text: just the title. Here is the link to it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-thunderbird.

As a result, I cleaned out the entire registry, as well as all the folders found by the search. And only after that it was possible to install Thunderbird cleanly. In my experience, such deep cleaning has a detrimental effect on the Operating System. And I want to avoid this in the future.

Can you tell me how to remove Thunderbird from your computer COMPLETELY? What exactly should be deleted?

Hej. Har bytt dator och installerat Thunderbird på nytt. Hur får jag med mig innehållet i min Kalender? Har hittar Exportera kalender men inte hur jag sedan Importerar innehållet på nya datorn.

Hello. I have changed computers and reinstalled Thunderbird. How do I get the contents of my Calendar? I can find Export Calendar but not how to then Import the contents on the new computer.

I opened Thunderbird this morning and my Drafts folder is empty. Not only that but when I am composing an email and hit Save, which is setup to save to Drafts folder, I get a little popup that says Copying message to drafts folder. I open Drafts folder and it is not there. However, this new message that I tried to safe to Drafts shows up in a folder named All Mail. I try to drag it to Drafts but it does not copy or move to Drafts. I created a new folder and named it Drafts 2 then copied this test message to Drafts 2. But where are my original Drafts folder contents> I have changed absolutely nothing in Thunderbird. No settings changes, no nothing. What the heck? I had important things in my Drafts folder and now they are gone.

Oh, this happens on my Primary Gmail account. I open Gmail in my browser, check Drafts and it's empty too.

I check my ISP furnished POP3 account and it has a message in Drafts. I create a new message, save it to drafts in this POP3 account and Thunderbird147 puts it there.

I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-

   Something went wrong
   We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device.

OR

   We couldn’t sign you in
   Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
   Turn off ad blockers
   Enable JavaScript
   If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.

I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation. Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)

   Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com

Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)

   No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site

I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).

I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo" BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed? Currently using OAuth2 for Thunderbird

I have spent most of two days trying to Thunderbird to send email. It has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly, emails end up in Sent folder but go nowhere. My email host service sees nothing wrong. I can send emails through webmail and usually through Outlook. I have spent most of the day getting coached by Copilot and I am quite sure I have all the settings the way that worked flawlessly until two weeks ago. Is Thunderbird just dead and I need to go to Outlook?

Hello, I have three profiles, and then a large number of sub folders in Local Folders. I would like to know how to transfer these Local Folders to Outlook. the profiles and their emails have all been transferred successfully.

I've lost all the contents of a folder in one of my TB accounts, including all subfolders. Mysterious, and all the more so since another email folder which wasn't a subfolder of this one is now in there as a subfolder. Everything else in that folder has gone. Nothing has disappeared anywhere else. I've trashed and rebuilt global-messages-db.sqlite but this hasn't helped, no difference. Any suggestions? Thanks!
