I accepted update to Thunderbird version 60.0 but my Add-on has been disabled as non-compatible (Magyar (HU) Language Pack (Thunderbird) 52.0 and Français Language Pack (Thunderbird) 52.0.). When trying to find Add-on, same versions I have already are proposed and they are no more compatible with Thunderbird version 60.0 What can I do to have again spelling check available in French and Hungarian? Thanks for helping!

My husband and I have identical Thunderbird installations on identical Windows 7 machines, and for years we have been using 'QuoteAndComposeManager version 0.4.1. This allows us to set a 'pause' of 20 seconds between the time we click on Send and the email actually gets sent (it's amazing how many errors you can find in 20 seconds). This feature is still working fine on my machine, but on his it has been disabled with the message that it is incompatible with Thunderbird 60.3.0.

Two questions here: My update history shows that I am set for automatic updates, but the last one was to version 52.9.1 on 16 July 2018. This probably explains why I can still use the QandCManager, but why are we getting updates at different times?

More importantly, is there some other add-on that we can use to get this time-delay option? I have gone to the original developer's website but he does not seem to have a later version.

Many thanks.

My Thunderbird version 52.9.1. First language = French Cannot upload DUTCH language package (as second language) because last version of complementary module appears to be corrupted. BA Brussels - Belgium 19-07-2018

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with latest Thunderbird (52.8.0). Normaly (in older verions of Thunderbird, like the one in Ubuntu 17.10), it was possible to just install a language like described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker in order to use the spell checker in a different language.

I clicked on "Sprachen -> Wörterbuch hinzufügen" and downloaded the german language packet. Now in "Add-ons-Verwaltung", there is "Deutsch (DE) Lanuage Pack", and it is activated. Unfortunately, if I right-click on any text, I still can not change to german. This did not change when restarting thunderbird. For "Wörterbuch" (Dictionary), the link for download is not present (while it is present for other languages, e.g. Afrikaans), but the link for "Sprachpacket herunterladen" keeps beeing there, even if I installed the language packet.

There are other users complaining in the comments section of the language pack: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/deutsch-de-language-pack-thund/ (e.g. "Sprachpakete lassen sich nicht installieren. Anwendung ist völlig unbrauchbar!" means "Language packets can not be installed. Application is not usable at all." which may be an exaggeration.).

Is this still the right way to install a dictionary, or is the link to the dictionary maybe wrong? Can I install it somehow manually or by apt?

Before the Thunderbird 45.0 update came through, I used to use an ad-on called TT DeepDark. Since the update, I get an error message telling me that this add-on is not compatible with version 45.0. Because of a visual impairment, I depend on dark themes so that I can read more easily. I thought at first that it was something with that one individual add-on, so I searched for one to take its place. However, it appears that no theme add-on available through Mozilla is compatible with the latest version. Is there any kind of time frame for when this might be fixed?

I do know that things often depend on individual developer, but since every single theming add-on is currently nonfunctional, I know it isn’t something like dependent on an individual developer.

Is there any kind of workaround in the meantime? I really depend on that dark theme so that I can use Thunderbird more effectively.

I'm looking for the romansh language pack that works with the latest version of Thunderbird under Ubuntu. Where can I find it?

I had the same problem before (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999183 ).

Thanks for an answer.

i open an email from the inbox list while viewing email I delete it and nothing happens, i have the correct settings turned on in options same thing happens if i view an email and choose to move it to another folder it still does not return to the list

I've been using TBD on Linux Mint since 2009. There used to be an extension that caused the taskbar button to go red when an email arrived in the inbox. A couple of versions ago it was removed as not being a compatible extension. My question is.... is there an updated version of this extension, OR (even better), could this be put into TBD as a feature? I've missed so many emails lately, I'm really missing this facility.

Currently using 60.4.0 (64-bit). Sorry I can't remember the name of the extension. I have searched, but can't find it.

Thanks.

I upgraded Thunderbird recently to 60.0, Somewhere along the line I lost an icon. When I was creating/responding to a message I had the "Return Receipt Requested" icon on a tool bar. It is now not there and I cannot customize the toolbar to add it back. How do I get it back on my toolbar. I know I can go to the Options menu item and add it from there but I would like to get it back on the toolbar? Thank you

Hi: I had the newest Update of Thunderbird Ver 52.7.0 installed in my PC running Windows 7 - Home Premium and was shocked that during this Update installation my foreign language Dictionary (Czech) installed in Thunderbird before this automatic-updating has disappeared. This is a very serious Software flaw because I was using this Dictionary for many years, and during several years I've added many unique foreign language words & terms and it is therefore very important for my correspondence with people abroad. My critical questions are:

1) does Thunderbird keeps a back up-copy of such an important part of this Software somewhere in the Thunderbird installation Directory so that I could recover/re-install it? 2) What are the specific step-by-step guidelines to install any additional Dictionary into Thunderbird? I've spent MANY HOURS trying to install a new copy of the Czech Language Add-On following the suggested procedure but it does NOT work - have anyone from the Programmers checked if this installation procedure actually works? An earlier advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any idea when you will be adding a feature to message filters whereby we can filter messages by file type in attachments i.e. delete all email with attachments containing extension .gz .7z etc

After the last update, Thunderbird no longer requires a password be entered to sign into my emails. Hence all my emails are available to whoever opens Thunderbird. How do I get the Profile Password feature back again? This has nothing to do with the Master Password.

Since my Tbird updated to 60.4.0 (64-bit) the spell checker seems to have lost its marbles. If I switch from British English Language (Marco Pinto) to English US the spelling works correctly apart from being American.

When in Eng GB anything pluralized or some words having ed at the end are marked as incorrect. I have tried stripping out the English dictionary and re-installing with no improvement. The same dictionary in Firefox works OK.

When I try to install the Thunderbird Dutch language pack as an Add-On , then I got the message that the language pack is corrupt. It's not possible to download this add-on.

Hello Thundrbird Flock,

I upgraded to latest Thunderbird 60.5.0 on Windows 7.

Works great, but the message filters don't run automatically.

If I go and run them manually, they do work fine, but they don't run automatically like the used to.

Haven't made any other changes at all -- just did the update.

They are still checked off...haven't changed them in any way.

A similar thread says that they sometimes don't work if you play sounds. None of mine play sounds.

Only Add-ons I use are Lighting and Send Later and MS Office 2003 Theme. I had NO Glass, but that was automatically disabled with this update as being not compatible.

What might have changed that the don't run now?

Thank you for your consideration,

Mark

Recently I installed Thunderbird on my brother's desktop computer. He has vision problems and I was trying to help him by trying to use a free program name NaturalReader to tell him the sender and subject of his emails. He was using AOLMail but that program immediately opens an email if you click on it. Thunderbird allows him to highlight a line in the Inbox, but apparently does not (by default) copy the line to the clipboard where NaturalReader would be able to see it. The idea was highlight line, play it, then either delete it or hit the down arrow to point to the next email. If there is a profile option that could cause this to happen, please let me know how to use it. If not, this option would be valuable to have for the visually impaired.

Contrary to most questions on this forum :-) I wonder how to ENABLE the Compact Now message? I have ticked the box ‘do not ask me again’ and now the message does not show up anymore. I figured out I actually like that message to remind me to compact every now and then.
