Hi, I'm using the latest Thunderbird 115.0 on Windows 11 and use the program with the Preview Pane turned off all the time.

Since I installed 115, when new mail comes in and I click on the notification banner, it brings me into Thunderbird and turns the preview pane back on.

Thanks

After the automatic upgrade to 115.2.2, I have lost access to all my folders, emails and calendar entries. But I can still see my addresses by using Tools/Address Book, and my filters by using Tools/Message Filters.

When I started Thunderbird for the first time on 115.2.2 I got to the usual message page which had all the tabs of the "open" emails I had when I last closed Thunderbird. But there was no sign of my folders and I couldn't get to any other messages (See first screenshot). I also had a second occurrence of Thunderbird running (I could have hit the icon a second time) that didn't show the tabs I had on the first screen. (No screen shot)

On a previous post here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1424153 it was suggested that I try Troubleshoot mode. That made no difference and at that time I had no folders showing, and just two tabs. I suspect after that I deleted the tabs.

Now I get a completely blank page in what is usually the message/folder area. Also the button for the address book above the message pane has now gone disappeared (Second screen shot), and I can find no way of accessing my previous (10years+ of messages).

It looks to me as if something is wrong in the profile.

Where do I go from here?

It is annoying when a redesign of Thunderbird (Supernova) says it gives maximum customization options, but in fact moves something - the Thunderbird/Application Menu icon (hamburger button) - whose position apparently can't be customized!

How can I move the Application Menu (three-bar, hamburger menu) from the right hand side to the left hand side in Thunderbird 115.2.2?

The following CSS code (inside userChrome.css, inside a newly created chrome folder in my profile) works for my Firefox program, but apparently does not work for Thunderbird 115.

/* Move the APPLICATION MENU, 3-bar button, to the left & change its color */

#PanelUI-button {
 order:-1 !important; 
 color: yellow
 }

Can anyone please tell me what the CSS code is to move the position of the Thunderbird/Application Menu? Many thanks, Rick

Yesterday I tried the 115 (Supernova) and I was disappointed because of the toolbar on top of the TB window: I think that you should let the user choose where put any toolbar, and I didn't find the way to move in its "classical" place (not at top but below the menu). There is a way to do it? And if not, please consider to give it as soon as possible.

What is going on with the new TB client? I now have no access to my Sent mail. Nothing showing in Unified Sent mail and no more access to individual account sent folders. Major mistake upgrading. To elaborate, the Unified Send folder has never displayed sent messages and this is a known issue in bugzilla. But we have had the option to expand this folder to show the individual send folders in order to view sent messages. Now, there is no way to expand this folder, so the only way to view sent messages is to choose All Folders from Folders Mode. This defeats the purpose of Unified Folders. It's a step backwards. If there are no plans to address the Unified Send folder, then why was the option to expand it removed. Makes no sense.

Hi, I have Thunderbird 115 on a Linux Manjaro installation with several email accounts. Everything worked just fine until my last working day. I came back today, Manjaro did a general update including Thunderbird (to 115.2.0-3) and now I have an issue with it. The "message list pane" is not showing any messages in neither account. Synchonisation is fine. The number of read/unread messages in the folder pane changes automatically when I do something in the webmail (e.g., Gmail). In addition, I can search for any messages in the general search, including the ones just sent/received. (But if I search for messages, I get the message "msgWindow.domWindow.gMessageDisplay is undefined" in the status bar.) Filter is not working though. I have already checked if I have accidentally selected any filter feature that conceals all messages. It doesn't seem to be the case. I have also checked in the Manjaro forum and it doesn't look anyone has had issues with it, so it doesn't seem to be a global problem.

Could anyone help me in this? Thanks!

Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection: STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2

A browser looking window opens up with a long URL in it (https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=xxxxxxxx%40hotmail.com) the windows is just blank and the dialog box for sending opens. The browser window shuts and the sending dialog box just sits there.

It ends up timing out saying it can't connect to the smtp server. I cannot send any e-mails at all. Please help or advise. Thank you!

Thunderbird has suddenly decided that it will split the header and sender information of an email from the text message which means that if I try to print the whole message the header and sender information appears on the first page and the rest of the body of the text is on the following pages even if the message is only one page long.

The message appears correctly when I view it it's only when I go into Print Preview that the separation shows and even if I reduce the margins or remove the header it still splits the first page. The Config Editor appears to be correct in terms of the height and width of the paper being A4.

I'm not sure but I think the system was upgraded recently as this problem only started this week.

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

My reading pane on v115 will only adjust downwards but I would like to adjust it upwards as was possible in previous versions.

Just to confirm what I mean, it will only go down, so making the reading pane smaller (or disapppear) and the thread pane larger.

I would like to make it go the opposite way, upwards to make the thread pane smaller.

Is there some code, css etc that can make it happen correctly?

Like many others, I'm seriously considering going back to v112 because I find SO many of the changes in 115 "change for the sake of change," "fixing" things that weren't broken, and breaking functionality that we thought was stable. Not keeping thins like the default font that was selected in the previous version before the upgrade is just plain annoying.

I use Thunderbird to manage many email accounts across different profiles. Not all accounts show up in unified folders, although all accounts are visible in the "All folders" view. Is there any way to "reset" anything to fix this? The Unified folders "Inbox" view in 112 was the best way to see all accounts that had new messages.

I updated Thunderbird to Verson 115, now 115.01. The global search shows result, but when opening messages, tab is empty. Search result list is also empty. I already rebuilt global-messages-db.sqlite.

Attached error console log.

Hi Team, I download the latest update i.e. 115 for the official web site but new ui isn't reflecting. please help. I loved the new UI Supernova but even after installing the latest version I am not able to use it. it is still showing the email in the old way.

Comment: I don't think Thuderbird was ready for this Edition/Version/Transition.

Question: I have several Email Addresses/Accounts. When Thunderbird updated their Software, only a few of my Email Addresses now show under "Inbox". How do I get the other Email Addresses under that Folder/Header? I used to have an Add-on>Manually sort folders but that Add-on was disabled with the Thunderbird Update and is no longer compatible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

i had the latest version 115 and i decided to install the previous version coz some things didnt go my way. i opened it and its supernova - i lost everything like settings, my local folders etc. how can i go back to all my settings i had in this supernova version?

I was able to send emails till July 14. After that day it's been impossible to send or reply to messages from my Outlook account (I receive emails though). I have made no changes to Thunderbird's configuration since then. Basically it's the Oauth2 authentication that fails. I briefly see a browser page for authentication, wait, wait, wait and then the mail is not sent and I get an error message related to servers timeout (attached). Sorry, my interface is in Italian, but anyway the message is something like: "Unable to send email because of a timeout on the connection to the out server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com. Try again." Is this a known bug? Any ideas? It's quite annoying to use the browser interface to send messages while I am able to receive them in Thunderbird :) Thank you in advance, guys!

I recently installed the Flatpak version of Thunderbird Version 115.0.1.

I can no longer start Thunderbird from the command line. It is supposed to run by using the command flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird. When I issue this command nothing happens.

I can however start Thunderbird by using rofi. When I use rofi to start Flatpak Thunderbird, it runs perfectly.

I do not have any problems with any of the other Flatpak applications that I have on my system. Prior to updating Thunderbird, I did not have any problems with the Flatpak version of Thunderbird that I had installed. It is just this new version of Flatpak Thunderbird that is giving me problems.

I am running Debian Linux version 12.

I'm a *long-time* TB user and have recently upgraded to 115.0 (BuildID: 20230711125218) on Linux (Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I have multiple accounts configured to use the unified folders inbox. When in that unified inbox, if I delete an email, it stays in the message list instead of disappearing, although the focus changes (the message entry line was highlighted in blue background with white text, and is now in black text on a gray background). The message pane shows the next message as it should. If i click on the message list entry line for the deleted email, nothing happens in the message pane (it still shows the next email), although the focus does come back to the message list entry line. This does not appear to happen when I am in the inboxes of my individual email accounts, but only happens in the unified folder. When I return to the unified folder inbox from the individual account inbox, the deleted message is gone. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

a few days ago I switched to the new version 115 and I find it very nice. In my daily work, I use View > Folders > Unread Folders most often.

If I now open unread mails in a folder, the folder is actually no longer an "unread folder". In the "old" version of Thunderbird, folders were refreshed at irregular intervals and folders were automatically hidden when there were no more new mails to read.

This no longer happens with 115. Here the read folders remain visible all day or until I manually select View > Folders > Unread Folders again.

I would therefore be very pleased if this old function were possible again.

Thank you and best regards from Berlin Florian

Hi, I run TB on 2 machines. On one (running Win10) Supernova downloaded automatically, odd as I thought you had to opt in to get it. (The other running Win11 is still on v102). No problem as it looks good. (I'll make any suggestions separately.) But I'm concerned about migration as I have a lot of messages, both archived and in live folders. Judging by some forum responses version 102 should still be lurking in the background. Is that right? And if so what's the migration plan once Supernova is out of beta? And as I was about to move storage location from C: to D: for space issues, is it best to hold off until Supernova is fully live?
