In den Vorschaufenstern sind in Thunderbird seit Kurzem keine Anhänge mehr zu sehen. Habe ich unbewusst eine falsche Einstellung vorgenommen? Habe alles versucht, keine Lösung erhalten.

When I type the word "attachment" in version 149.0.2 I no longer get the warning bar across the bottom of the screen. I do have the "check for missing attachments" box checked in Settings.

Whenever I try to search my various emails for some text, at least 40% of the time it shows me the attached message. I'm on Version 149.0.1 but it's been happening ever since I installed Thunderbird (maybe 4 or 5 months ago?) My first move is to check that I haven't mis-spelled the word I'm looking for (which I usually haven't) and I definitely know that the word is valid for one or more emails. So why does this message keep appearing?

Previously I'd been running an old 32-bit version of Thunderbird (which I don't have installed any more) but I don't remember ever seeing this with the older version.

How in the heck do you reach tech support for Thunderbird? I have NEVER in my life seen a company so elusive to contacting them. I appreciate the help in here, but there are times when a forum can't help and you need the actual company to be accessible to get that help.

I am about to that point of uninstalling it and throwing it out the office window.

I changed my email password on the providers web site, my phone, tablet both asked for the new password but Thunderbird has not, why can I still send and receive email ?

And don't see a place to change the server password either, I thought it would just ask.

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

How can I get back classic so that I don't have to deal with 40 tabs - or any excess tabs? 140.9.1esr (aarch64)

The View Layout Classic (and others) are grayed out ,

How the [edited] do I turn automatic spam filtering off? I've literally unchecked EVERYTHING related to junk or spam, but it's still marking every [edited] email that I get as spam. Even addresses in my address book!

I have relied heavily on the "Open message in conversation" function, because it gave me a tree of messages across all folders (Inbox, Sent, etc.) that was based on the person I was corresponding with.

Now, the function is giving me a tree based on the Subject of the message. This behavior makes it useless to me. I've looked, and I can't find any configuration setting that would control this option.

How can I once again get a message tree based on the correspondent's name, then sorted next by date?

Thanks!

Over the last week or so, selecting a link embedded within an incoming email on Thunderbird does not now ensure that the desired webpage will be opened in Safari and other browsers. Shutting down Thunderbird, intermittently enables the proper functional activity of opening the desired webpage. I've discussed this with Apple (iMac; Sequoia 15.7.5) and was unable to identify this as an Apple problem.

Have been using the 104.9.0esr 64-bit release on Windows 11 for some time now (mostly for email, involving a number of email accounts) and have been generally satisfied...

...but discovered when I started looking into switching over to the 145 default release that I have a capital-P Problem. The first thing recommended on making that change is - sensibly - to back up one's Thunderbird profile. Only as far as I can tell, I don't *have* any such file anywhere on my system. [To answer the obvious question - yes, I've got "View" set in File Explorer such that it should be showing me hidden files.]

I have drilled downward through all the USERS subdirectories on my C: drive. "Default" and "Public" have nothing at all (as one might expect). My personal subdirectory has a Mozilla directory under "Roaming", and both a Firefox and a Thunderbird directory therein, but the only things in the Thunderbird directory are an empty folder labeled "Crash Reports" and a tiny "desktop.ini" file.

There is a "Mozilla Firefox" directory under Program Files, but nothing in that hierarchy looks applicable. There is a "Mozilla Maintenance Service" directory under "Program Files (x86)", but nothing there appears relevant. There is a "Mozilla [alpahnumeric hash]" subdirectory under "Program Data", but nothing there appears relevant.

And in fact, I begin to think I have a bigger issue than I thought I did...because the more I poke at my C: drive, the less I'm seeing...to the extent that I'm not at all sure where the Thunderbird program itself (not to mention a quite large accumulation of associated email) is being kept.

Which would be nice to know if one were attempting to back up one's mail before changing program versions....

Upgraded from `102.15.1` (deb) to `140.9.1esr` (flatpak).

Now for all my Imap folders the default action (double-click) is `Edit Draft` instead of `Open`. This is confirmed by right-clicking and having `Edit Draft Message` in bold at the top of the list.

How can I fix it?

- imported old profile with `⁝` -> `Tools` -> `Import`

- found https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1364428 and tried the addon it recommended but none of the imap folders were flagged as draft.

My email storage server has a limited space allocation. Because I keep most emails for future reference/recall, I have been moving important emails to specific folders I have created in LOCAL FOLDERS. The LOCAL FOLDERS resides in a local drive in my main desktop computer.

Lately I switched from POP to IMAP so I will be able to access my emails on my phone, remote desktop at home & on my notebook when I travel.

Because of limited storage space allocation, only the main basic folders (inbox, drafts, sent, junk, trash, etc........) reside on the server & appear on all my connected devices (phone, remote desktop & notebook).

When I am on the main work desktop, everything works flawlessly. I have access to whatever information I need. However, when I am on the other devices, all I see are the basic folders that reside on the server.

Could you suggest a creative way I could take the LOCAL FOLDERS along with me when I am outside the office? I was thinking of mounting the LOCAL FOLDER in the cloud, if that is possible. I will be the only one accessing it (single user) so colliding versions should not be an issue. I was thinking of copying the files on to an external drive then restoring to whichever device I use but the problem with this workaround is syncing back to the main machine.....a lot of extra work & steps.

Any suggestions? Hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you.

Once I delete a message, T-bird (147.0.4 on W11 Pro) begins compacting, and then I'm stuck until it's done. This is new behavior. Previously the system compacted occasionally, but now it's every single time I delete something from the inbox (which happens frequently during the day, of course, sigh).

Anyway, many thanks in advance for help/guidance and if it matters, I'm one of those who contributes monetarily for use versus freeloading. Also, no, we don't believe updating to the latest version is productive for our situation so I hope this is not the solutuion. -- Regards,

I am trying to add one of my Google email accounts to Thunderbird. It brings up the "Sign in with Google" window, which is normal. But instead of "Sign in to continue to Google...", it says "Sign in to continue to Mozilla Thunderbird Email". Which then generates an error: "Error 400. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know." I've not ever experienced this issue before; adding a Google account has always been super easy and straightforward.

Previous Colors add-on is apparently not him compatible with the most recent version of Thunderbird which installed itself in the last few days.

Does anyone know if it updates to that plug-in is anticipated?

If not, are there any similar add-ons available?

Thanks! Bill
