This is an odd one, and an hour of googling now has turned up nothing except one person on Reddit from 6 months ago with the same issue.

When I open a messasge with an attachment, either in a new window or tab, and at the bottom of the window I click the arrow to expand the list of attachments included with the email message, if I click to select one of those attachments, I would expect that pressing the spacebar would launch a Quick Look to preview the file.

I am moving over to Thunderbird from Postbox (which I should have done long ago, frankly). Postbox is Thunderbird based, and I had no problem with the quick view of attachments in Postbox. I assume there's a configuration setting or something I'm missing that's not allowing me to use quick look to preview attachments. Or, is this by design (or rather, lack thereof)?

Running Thunderbird 128.3.3esr (64-bit) on MacOS Monterey.

Thanks for any input you may have.

Yesterday the archived folders showed 2011 2012 2013 to 2024 as individual folders. today none of them are there. All my email was archived in ThunderBird and removed from the server. How can I retrieve them?

Postbox having been sold to eM Client, I need to migrate to Thunderbird. Import worked pretty well using the protocol "migrating from a previous Thunderbird installation" however the filters did not import at all. It happens that I have 320 of them, so it would be a great help if some automatic procedure could be implemented. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Regards, Gérald

I am looking for some bank statements that I downloaded a year ago and they have disapeared I can't find them any more, I didn't delete them as I need them. How can I find them or restore in downloads?

Your election-related "news" links on your home page only include anti-Trump calumny. You are a bunch of leftist lunatics supporting the overthrow of our Constitution. No, I'm not a far right lunatic -- I'm a Ph.D. (Psychology, U. of Michigan), a former professor for 23 years, and a consulting statistician for 19 years. I've also been a user of Firefox for at least 15 years. I will no longer utilize your browser and will exert influence on everyone I know to cease using your leftist propaganda instrument.

I am not able to turn off "search suggestions" on my mobile phone/IOS or wipe off some of my previous search results. I use Firefox 130.0 (44595)

I have tried to follow Firefox guidances,but what is written on their info page does not work on iPhone, see Mozilla text below: Search suggestions are initially switched off in Private browsing. You must explicitly turn the feature on in that mode. As of Firefox version 71, you can turn on search suggestions in all Private Browsing windows in Firefox Settings - Search (see below).

Since updating Thunderbird lately to 128.3.3esr (64-bit), "Open in conversation" is grayed out, SHIFT+CTRL+O shortcut also doesn't work. There is a small chance it happened on a previous update, I'm not sure. This function is something I use regularly so this bothers me greatly. I tried rebuilding the global database according to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database with no luck - the problem persists. The file now has 1,18 MB, I'm quite certain it was significantly larger before. The problem occurs in all accounts I have and it worked on all of them before. Threading itself works properly if I go to View>Sort by>Threaded so the messages are recognized as threads properly.

I'm on a 6-week old Framework Laptop running Windows 11 (23H2) with Thunderbird 128.3.3esr (64-bit.) The email account is connected via IMAP, no issues sending and receiving. When I open an email and click the little gray 'person' icon to the right of an email address, it does nothing. It just kind of blinks gray as I click it, but does not add the address to my address book as I would expect. Aside from that, it appears that the address book is functioning properly outside of this issue. I was not able to find joy in any of the relevant settings and preferences within Thunderbird.

My old computer has Thunderbird and Windows 10. On that one, I can open an email and click the same little gray "Save this address in the address book" icon from within any email, and it adds it to my address book and turns the gray icon blue as expected.

I even tested on a separate physical machine and the desired operation was experienced. It's only my new laptop that is malfunctioning. Any ideas?

I don't yet want to uninstall and re-install Thunderbird since my IMAP mail folders are plentiful and not small. Furthermore, I'm not ready to wipe the laptop and start fresh, since it's only 6 weeks old and has no spyware/malware...

This is a terrible idea and hasn't been in vogue in what, >5 years?

Also the reason I'm leaving Firefox, it DOES NOT, BY DEFAULT, USE THE _EXACT_ URI I put in the URL bar.

adieu. going back to the worse browser, chrome.

I keep the browser open and at some time my C drive has limited disk space.(~100mb) Then extensions stop working and after a browser restart, all extension data are lost. In my opinion current extension data shouldn't be lost even if disk space is limited.
