For example, I want to automatically check the messages every 24h on Sunday and every 10min on the other day; how can I do?

On my Thunderbird I have many account: when I am at work, I need to check my working email box every 10min on working days, but when I am not at work I don't want to check the working box every 10 minutes but only one or two times in a day. Actually if I set the automatic check on every 10min, on Sunday I receive continuously the notification of new message (only message that I use on Monday) having a distraction for the other message of the other account that I need effectively to check every 10min on Sunday.

So I want to set the check of the message depending on the days of the week, or better by choosing a specific time/day. For example, for the account "Work" I want to ckeck mail every 10min from Monday to Saturday from 8.00 to 18.00, and every 180min from 0.00 to 7.59 and from 18.01 to 23.59. On sunday I need to ckeck it from 0.00 to 23.59 every 12h. For the account "Personal" I need to check it every 180min on every day from 0.00 to 23.59.

Many thanks Gerardo from Italy

I have used thunderbird now for about 6 years, for all my website accounts. During that time I have had very few problems, about 9 months ago I started using Windows 8, I transferred all my accounts from my old machines running on XP pro to new machines running Win 8 and thunderbird ran ok. I have auto updates running so I am assuming both thunderbird and windows are updating whenever! About 4 weeks ago I started experiencing major problems with Thunderbird, it would start then freeze, then it would start again then freeze, if I ran it in safe mode it would work for a while. Now it opens and freezes, the message at the top just says ' Thunderbird is not responding'. Even in safe mode now it will not work! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, I have even tried installing an earlier version of Thunderbird, I Have deleted the profile and forced it to produce a new one, I have spent hours trawling different sites trying to find an answer, and you know what, the only conclusion I could come to was, nobody seems to care whether this problem is solved or not, so reluctantly I have had to give up and I moved all my accounts to Outlook, which works perfectly with Windows 8.1. I think that should have been the answer, right from the start of the problem!

I am switching from Mac Mail to Thunderbird as my main email handler. I prefer to keep and use my Mac Contacts which Thunderbird seems to import with no problems. However when there are multiple email addresses associated with a contact, I cannot select which one should be used when I use a group as a distribution list.

It is important that I continue to use Mac's addressbook as I use it with other applications such as Messages.

How can I zip an email to forward it to spoof at paypal without opening it?

Spam email says I've made a payment via PayPal and has some of the numbers of my credit card. Neither PayPal or my bank account shows this payment as having been made. The email asks me to reply to them if I did not make this payment. (which I did not.)

(I have not opened the email, I read the contents via View>Message Source.)

I've tried to forward the entire email as an attachment to spoof at paypal but they've sent it back and want it zipped.

I'm using Win 7, tried right clicking on the file to send it to a zip folder but I don't have that option right clicking in Thunderbird.

How can I zip this email so PayPal will take a look at it?

thanks

We have this annoying problem at work that emails with attachments don't get copied to the sent folder. Even small attachments of 5k are a problem.

When at home, with the same computers, it's not at problem. We have both mac and pc.

We use IMAP and have a Lan with more than 100 Mbit/s at work. Still we get:

"There was an error saving the message to Sent. Retry?"

"The message was sent successfully, but could not be copied to your Sent folder. Would you like to return to the compose window?"

Any ideas what to do?

Dear Thunderbird support team,

I wanted to set up a filter sending a copy of e-mails from a particular sender to another e-mail address (within the same company) but I did not find such an option. There is only a possibility of forwarding the e-mail to another address.

Would it be possible to add it in the next release please?

Thank you.

Wishing you the best of luck,

Hello,

Our incoming e-mails contain a lot of images and company logos. We notice sometime, for example: company logos are *wrongly* replaced by another company logo when we reply to the email. It seems Thunderbird has linked the wrong image/logo. The wrongly linked image/logo are streched to the original image's size. When it happens, all the images in the message are mixed up with the same wrong image. When we tried to recreate this problem from the same email, this problem is not surfacing again.

Here is an example: we receive email from with Company A logo inside. When we reply to this e-mail, it happens that Company A logo is been replaced by Company B logo. Repeated trials don't repeat the problem.

we are looking for a solution to prevent this problem again, and would like to remove all image or logos in our replies or forwards.

is there a way to reply to emails by quoting its original message in plain text, instead of HTML codes?

Thank you!

Hi, I have problems when using Firefox Android with my Samsung 24 Pro. This doesn't happen with my other phone, that is a One Plus, nor in Chrome browser.

1) I start using Firefox 2) I search something with the bar (google engine) 3) I press the bar to change my search 4) Press to remove a character with the delete

If I searched with more than one word word, it deletes the space in between, eg. "hello how are you" transforms into "hello how areyou". Spected behaviour "hello how are yo". If its only one word a random letter is deleted. Sometimes it deletes a complete word.

If, for example, instead of pressing delete, I touch again the bar in step 4) no bug ocurrs.

Hope someone can help me Best Regards Andrés

Hi everyone,

I've got a real curious problem. I'm a student at Berkeley City College. Firefox is my preferred browser. Sometime this semester, I stopped being able to access Google.com or any google subdomain sites like Google Calendar while using Firefox Desktop at school. Here's where it gets really weird. This only happens when I using firefox windows desktop while also being on the school network. If I switch to my phone tether network then I can access Google just fine. If I launch a different browser (that is not Firefox based) like Chrome, it works just fine. I tried accessing google using Waterfox on the campus network and encountered the same problem. I consider myself to be somewhat technically proficient but this is confounding me. How could the sites at a specific domain be blocked only while using a specific browser on a specific network???
