I spent hours yesterday deleting and moving to local folders over 6,000 emails. Today they are all back! They appear to be all greyed out as if I had read all of them, and the ones I moved to my local folders seem to all be there in the folders I moved them to, in addition to still being in my inbox. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello... I'm running Firefox on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 on a 2013 MacBook Pro model A1502. It's been working great, but I just updated to Firefox 147.0.4 and I'm seeing an issue that I can't seem to attribute to anything else but the update.

The issue is that when I login to websites... Amazon, Pirate Ship, Venmo, etc... the sites keep saying that I entered the incorrect password or login. I've been using the same login info for a number of months without issue. I even tried to reset and change the password, but they are not recognizing the new password. I've tried different emails... I often have multiple accounts, one for my business and one personal... but they all have the same issue.

Again, these are sites I have been going to regularly for a while, and the issue only recently started after the most recent update.

Thank you. Paras.

I'm running Thunderbird 140.5.0esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Build 19045. After the last few updates the columns in the email listings are changing widths from what I've set them, this seems to happen after I close then reopen Thunderbird; which I'm having to do more often these days to resolve weird calendar malfunctions. For instance, the data column would appear so narrow that only the month/day show with "..." at the end, when I know I've looked at this yesterday with the full view of the date and time showing. I've reviewed my options and I've set them individually, set them globally and it makes no difference. Of course I've rebooted, etc. I have over a hundred local folders and they all change differently, of course some look the same but others don't. Most have the same column headings selected but it doesn't seem to matter. Some have the "Correspondents" column selected but many don't.

This is very irritating and I'd like to know why Thunderbird is doing this, and more importantly, how can I prevent this behavior in the future. Thanks,

After providing my existing twc.com email address and other requested information, Thunderbird did a search and came up with "The following settings were found by probing the given server." I used those settings and attempted to create a Tbird-based account. I got this error message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." Which seems odd since Tbird provided those settings by searching the server. What can I do now? I hate to go back to MS Office but I need email and I've spent two days trying to figure this out, including a couple of hours on the phone with Spectrum (they were just as baffled as I am). I still can't use Tbird for email but pls email me at [edited from community support forum] @twc.com and I can access it on my old MS Office computer.

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.

Scary behavior of 'Local Folders': I'm moving an IMAP account from one server to an other. I copy all emails from old server IMAP account to a place described as "Local Folders". I then delete the account connected to the old server. WTF: the the local folders to which I copied the messages are now GONE. My plan was to recreate the account to the new server, then copy messages from LocalFolders to IMAP. But the LocalFolders got deleted along with the IMAP account. This I was doing in a separate profile from my own, as it's for a friend I'm helping with a hosting move.

In my own profile: For more than a decade, I have been maintaining the size of my mailboxes, by moving older messages to LocalFolders. As it happens, for these, I did indeed direct the folder to a separate drive, which also gets backed up offsite. My concern is that 'Local Folders' are portrayed as being INDEPENDENT of IMAP accounts. This is VERY POOR design, to allow a user to delete data they thought was safely stored locally while they recreate a moved or misbehaving account. I have dozens of Local Folders. Five years ago, I abandoned an entire domain name and it's email accounts. I know I still have those emails in my local folders despite having deleted the IMAP accounts from my profile. I fear that the current version, by default, might not be so respectful of my data. Can someone please explain? Where are the links that TIE an IMAP account to Local Folders, and how do I sever that link?

In my case, the source account still exists. I can repeat my steps, but for some other unfortunate users, this may not be the case.

I have a Hotmail account and multiple gmail accounts. When I try following your (obscure) instructions for changing passwords, the box of passwords is only for my gmail accounts. None for my hotmail.

As Hotmail is very important to me, I'd like to keep accessing it through TB but you make it tough.

I am now not receiving my Hotmail mail and as I get too much traffic 200+ msgs a day, it will build. Please send simple, direct instructions on how to find and change the hotmail password, thank you.

Yesterday, out of the blue, one of my Spectrum email accounts asked me to sign in. I tried entering my existing credentials several times, but failed to sign in. I tried to recreate the account, but, it fails each time with "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". I tried using the account hub and it fails with the same message, with a sub message of "can't find a server".

I've been on the phone with Spectrum 5 times in the past 24 hours. They claim that it's a Thunderbird problem since I can access the email in question if I go through their web interface.

Can anyone help with this?

I have at least one question on the support forum which has never been answered. So I went to Bugzilla, and discovered dozens of YouTube issues under the Open/Unconfirmed status.

I can reproduce my problems. I'm sure others can reproduce their problems. Nothing is done. NOT EVEN admitting there is a problem.

If I can't use YouTube on Firefox (I can't), then why am I using FF? It is one of the biggest sites on all of the internet. But FF apparently doesn't care if it doesn't work.

What. Is. Going. On?

(See the attached image... the big blank space is where the video should display)

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

I am trying to use group policy to block all extensions from being installed and only allow approved extensions.

I have followed the article:

https://firefox-admin-docs.mozilla.org/reference/policies/extensionsettings/

And here is my JSON config but it doesnt seem to be working and I can still install any extension.

{

 "*": { 

"blocked_install_message": "Please email the IT Helpdesk if you think an extension should be unblocked.", "installation_mode": "blocked" }, "com.abr.startapp@adminbyrequest.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/admin-by-request/latest.xpi" } }

Please can anyone advise or confirm if this is a bug.

We are using firefox version 147.0.4 (64-bit)

Thanks
