Hi, Thunderbird search as we know is and always has been megabroken. I search for "4.91" and it does not find anything even though there are e-mails with that string in subject and body.

Isn't it about time to fix it?

I am working on a new laptop running Windows 11. Thunderbird was successfully installed a week ago and was running fine until I made a change related to OneDrive - attempting to remove OneDrive as a default location for files. later, I attempted to open an MS Word attachment to an email and got this message from Microsoft Word: "Unable to open the existing file: (C:\Users\..(myname)..\AppData..\Normal.dotm)".

I think my OneDrive action - removing a OneDrive folder from my C:/Users/..(name)../ location on my laptop - per Windows support directions, caused this. Maybe a disconnect between Thunderbird and MS Word? I can open other file types that are attachments.

Can you help explain and correct this problem?

Thanks

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.

Using Thunderbird b150, but have tried -esr and regular TB. New install of Win11 26200.8037. Up to date Firefox. Have been trying for a week for Thunderbird to authenticate my Outlook account. Worked with Copilot. Finally found a TB setting, network.proxy.allow_hijacking_localhost, that was set to FALSE. Set it to TRUE and Outlook account authenticated. Able to finally send mail. This was last night. This morning: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. No changed to any programs. Have deleted Outlook saved password. Thunderbird NEVER offers to get password/authenticate. I am truly and sincerely frustrated.

If someone can help me, would sincerely appreciate.

No longer see ALL messages, including spam after upgrade to TB 128.14 Oesr (64, Win 10)

I recently upgraded to TB 128.14 Oesr (64, Win 10). I’m a bit conservative about upgrading anything – as upgrades often waste a lot of time – if not risk justified.

Basically, If it’s workin’ well enough (cost vs benefit) …… well … “don’t fix it” – even though … “if it ain’t broke, doesn’t mean it isn’t sub-optimal”. Here, it seemed worth the risk.

My prior TB version – nope, I don’t remember which it was (is that in a log?) incorrectly identified bookoo normal e-messages as “junk” (junk filter deactivated) wasting a LOT of my time to move them back to the “indox”.

It also – CORRECTLY ID’ed – a big lot of data sucking spam as “junk” (junk filter still deactivated) for my PUBLIC e-address (expected spam magnet) – alerting me of the quantity of (expected) spam I was actually getting (my free Omaha steaks are on the way).

After upgrading (to TB 128.14) I don’t get any, well much of that spam any more (got a couple today) – hurrah (maybe)!! I don’t see it any more. It is gone completely (mostly, ostensibly) and the problem is – I do want to SEE it – all of it – in a “spam folder / directory” nd not in trash– wherever it is – to make sure it is NOT mis-ID’ed as spam – when actually an important message maybe telling me I’ve won the FIFA email prize!

So … “the game is a’foot! Holmes! How can I track down that missing spam – to see ALL of it – to verify it’s identity?

I suspect my hosting company – Hostinger – may be involved – as I did verify, previously, with my previous TB version – that they COULD see into my TB account structure. Can’t find it now, but previous did see MY TB account named “Aviation”. They, Hostinger, said THEY aren’t “moving” anything anywhere – not into “Junk”, anyway. Are they lying (as popular as that has become recently)?

I’m not smart enough to understand DKIM (though I could get that way) just want to see ALL email sent to ALL my e-addresses that didn’t get there – wherever it is (not immediately, I would hope)!

Merci,

Dru

Hi there! I cannot get Thunderbird to work with the SMTP-server of my new Outlook account. I checked and double-checked the server specifications, the password, tried OAuth2 as well as login with password. I checked that SMTP is activated in my Outlook settings. Checked Thunderbird and my MacOS for updates as well, of course. I even created a new profile in Thunderbird. The result is still always: "authentification failed". Can someone help? Thanx...

I am using the Favorites view in my folder list. Works great except for Deleted Items keep forgetting it's favorite status. I have to click a bunch of time to get it set back. Then after a day or so it forgets again. Why is it doing that? Is there a way to keep it set as a favorite forever? Thanks.
