Hi all I am running Thunderbird 28.7 Oesr (64 bit) on MXLinux 23.5 Libretto. The Spaces toolbar in Thunderbird is leaving a thin semi-transparent artifact right across the bottom of my screen impacting the MX panel which is located there. I can move the panel but the artifact remains visible. Is it possible to rectify this? TIA Jack

Thunderbird displays the complex code in the address and and subject line as well as text of the print preview and prints them as such. How can I change back to the simple address contentso that code is not displayed?

I thing Thunderbird is the nicest email to use but

I have an old "live" account, a "G mail" account and a newer "Outlook" account. They all receive emails fine. The G mail account will send emails. The other two will not. Can I get the setting for smtp for both live and outlook please. I have searched for some time and find different suggestions. Thank you, Garry

I have the problem that Thunderbird leaves the "Status" of a newly created event as "Not specified". This causes events to automatically be marked as "Tentative" when I edit them on another device/app, to which in turn they will be displayed darker in Thunderbird.

Since the process of changing the status of an event is not exactly fast and easy in Thunderbird (Double click > Edit > Options > Status > Confirmed > Save and Close), I am looking for a way to automatically mark events I create as "Confirmed". I don't use attendees or anything. I just want to organize my reminders.

I can't find anything about this on the forum or the internet in general, so any help or different solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!

The curse of the behemoth yet again? I refer to the ‘new’ imposition imposed by Microsoft with their ‘new’ authorisation and authentification nonsense when attempting to log in to account/s via Thunderbird. Why this is necessary when it is possible to log in via the usual manner direct is any body’s guess. My personal opinion is that it is a sordid and underhannd way of forcing us to subscribe to Outlook 365? Cynical me? For numerous reasons I need and use 6 e-mail accounts, sadly all Microsoft (outlook.com, hotmail.com. .co.uk and last but not least live.com). No need to explain why the excellent Thunderbird is used and has been for nigh on 15 years+. Over the past couple of months I have tried every conceivable configuration supplied by the support team and other poor users in the same position as me. None have solved my problem. I surely cannot be alone? I do not object to change if it is of benefit but this is madness. For the time being Thunderbird is redundant and the daily grind of signing in individually via Microsoft faces me everyday. Both time consuming and arguably pointless. If someone has a definitive solution please let me know. There must be one?

I have been reminded by Microsoft that Thunderbird will be unable to access my Outlook account after Sept 16th. I have followed the instructions on the MS help site to re-configure Thunderbird, but when I try to change the Authentication on the outgoing server settings OAuth2 does not appear as an option. I've been using Thunderbird with no issues for years and I'd hate to lose it... Thanks Nigel

So I want a different menu from the default top line menu. I can get the line for my input to appear. I can move the icons I want into position. But I CANNOT get the system to accept that. There is no no button "accept as create". It all disappears when I do anything.

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

I uninstalled Chrome recently and noticed that in Thunderbird, when I want to look at the mail account server settings, it displays :

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://messenger/content/am-server.xhtml Line Number 171, Column 21:

                   <menuitem
</pre>
^
I only have Firefox.  I had rebooted after removing Chrome.
How can I fix this?
