Long time ago it was the only thing we had: if you saved a file, you selected the folder. If you saved the next file, you selceted the folder, but the LRU (last recently used) was the default.

Now download folders depend on the domain, the filetype, the age of the user and the color of the T-shirt he wears. At least that's what I guess. Its so complicated, my IQ is not sufficient to understand it. And if you refuse to have it this way, its always stored to the Download folder.

After long research, opening the low level config page, identifying cryptic names of configuration properties and clicking away warnings I was able to deactivate domain specific download folders. It was so annoying, I immediately forgot how I did it.

Still I have to select the same path again and again and again for each filetype I want to store.

And the FileSelector has its own history, but the last folder I selected does not show. Why? Obviously its a fake history.

I've been suffering from crashes constantly for about two weeks or so, maybe more before I started to feel like something was wrong. I've tried everything on the list as far as I can tell.

Firefox is up to date, windows is up to date, my gpu is up to date, and my security is up to date.

I've scanned for viruses and such, nothing.

I've checked for third party modules, nothing.

I've run in trouble shooting mode and it crashed even faster than without.

The only thing I haven't done is checked my ram, and that's only because I feel like if the ram was the issue I'd be having other problems. Maybe that's foolish to think, I'll go back and try that if necessary.

I have recently downloaded and installed thunderbird on a new computer running window 11 pro. Thunderbird now asks for my password twice in quick succession upon logging in. This has never happened before. There are now error messages or pop-ups. To see my inbox with new emails, i have to enter the second one. I can see the inbox after the first password entry, but not the new emails.

Bonjour, je suis trésorier d'une Association qui compte aujourd'hui 146 Adhérents. Lorsque j'envoie un courriel à tous (mails liste), les derniers enregistré me reviennent en erreur. Il y a t'il une limite d'envoi groupé, et quelle est elle? Comment y remédier ? Merci pour vos réponses

Hi!

When I click on an Email in the Email-list it will not open in the Mailwindow. Also it will not be marked as read. Same thing with doupleclicking the Mail. It will open the Mail-Tab but it is empty and the Mail is still marked as not yet read. New Mails are downiaded and appear in the Maillist. I´m using Thunderbird 141.0 in Windows 11.

Help...!!! ;-)

When reading received Emails, I try to use the combination of the 'ctrl' and the '+' key's, --by default will not work until/unless I first use one of the View\Zoom sub-menu item's. By comparison, while 'composing' or 'replying', the combination of the 'ctrl' plus '+' key's will work by default.

This has always been the case for the past year; if not longer.

The website is very unsteady. I even put in malware bites and it slowed down even slower than I’ve ever seen so I deleted malware bites thinking there might be a virus in the system. It’s still running very slow and sporadic not something I’ve seen for a long long time.

Hi, Just got computer back from shop where - rather than upgrade - they did a clean install of Win11. I was under the impression from them they'd backup everything on a new "backup" drive they installed to double my capacity as part of the upgrade process.

They're version of backing up Thunderbird left me with a folder "Thunderbird_profile_backup.zip" that is 9,698,657kb in size.

I am attempting to install Thunderbird on the essentially new computer and restore all data from the previous installation.

Is this even possible anymore at this point?

I have data in that file that is important not only financially but archived family info from now deceased members... I'd really like to recover it.

In short help! lol.

I've been "sending" e-mail from my Android phone for six weeks now. It looks like it's going out, but it never gets outside the domain.

I found the suggestion that I check my SMTP settings, but I used a wizard within TB for Mac so I cannot find the SMTP settings on the phone.

The wizard wasn't very wizard: I don't have the contacts stored within TB or the mail from my computer or anything. All I can do is receive e-mail.

I really need to get this working. My computer has died, and everything is going via the phone, and I only use e-mail for communication, not voice or text. (Long story, please don't argue with me about that.)

I just updated Android again yesterday, and TB should be upgrading automatically, if I have this thing set right.

Update: I have found the SMTP settings. They look correct.

My sister's e-mail is working, so the problem is definitely with my settings somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to stick with TB.

Update 2: I found the debugging settings and turned on extra logging, but I can't find the logs themselves. Could someone point me to them?

I also tried the TB beta because it says explicitly that it does POP3, but that didn't seem to help either.

Now that I can edit my question, how do I delete the answers that are actually just updates?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi I normally use Firefox on my phone, but I recently decided to use it on my computer as well. Since I had forgotten my password, I reset it. After the reset, I can log in on my computer without any issues, but I cannot log in on my phone. When I try to sign in with my new password on mobile, it says the password is incorrect.

I also tried to use QR code sync, but it shows an "Unexpected error" message. At the moment, I can only access my account on my computer, but not on my phone.

Could you please help me resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance.

I have just upgraded my computer from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Due to hardware complications (e.g., new motherboard) I had this done at a shop. I took the computer in about noon on Wednesday, July 30. The upgrade to W-11 finally happened on Monday afternoon, August 11. During that period I received 83 emails to my Gmail account, which of course were not downloaded to Thunderbird, and also sent 13 -- all directly to/from the web Gmail site. Since the activation of W-11 I have received 19 emails and sent 6 -- still all directly from the web Gmail site. Due to additional hardware issues, my computer did not come home until this (Thursday, August 14) afternoon. After I got it hooked up, and running, I brought up Thunderbird. It has downloaded the 83 received + 13 sent, from 7/30 through 8/11, but not done anything with the 19 received + 6 sent emails since then. When I turned Thunderbird off and back on -- or the entire computer off and back on, it has repeated this behavior. Currently I have 332 (83*4) received messages sitting in my inbox, and 52 (13*4) sent messages sitting in my sent box.

What do I need to do, to stop it from repeating this 7/30-8/11 download; and more importantly /start/ downloading messages since then? I feel fairly confident that the timing of the switchover from W-10 to W-11 is not coincidental; and that there is something I need to do in Thunderbird under W-11, to correct this behavior.

All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Franklin Coleman
