Is there a way to extract a portion of the subject information from new inbox emails and use it with a rescan option of the inbox and move all matches to a folder. ie email in with subject: 'order 1234T - delivered' , and truncate and store 1234T for rescan. Rescan to match emails like 'updated order 1234T' and 'Order 1234T confirmed' etc and move all to 'product supplied' folder. The process I visualize would be Subject > contains > 'delivered'. Strip 'Order ' & ' - delivered', store 1234T, rescan ( only once per filter so no loop error ) all inbox emails for 1234T in subject and when matched move email to selected folder. Regards I

I have problem with some websites, Firefox would flash white screen when I click between menu pages

1. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage

Top menu bar, clicking back and forth with those menu links

1. https://www.ghacks.net/

Top menu bar, clicking back and forth with those menu links

1. https://mpv.io/manual/

Those 2 HTML links, click and press back then repeat

1. https://vndb.org/

NSFW, side menu, clicking back and forth with those menu links Footage, compare between Edge and Firefox:

1. Flash white, so maybe epilepsy warning
2. One of the sites is NSFW, but by default they're all hidden, some text may say "18+", etc, but no NSFW images were shown in the footage

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmwlKvqIgGxK_Anfz5d4pnjOdLns This could be just Firefox default behavior, but it's a bit frustrating, I hope someone can help me with this.

Hello! When I try to log into my Microsoft 365 Outlooks, I get the following message:

'Your browser is a bit unusual...

Try disabling ad blockers and other extensions, enabling javascript, using a different web browser or turning off your VPN.'

I did go in and turn off the ad blocker. I do not have a VPN, and I could not find anything about Javascript on the Preferences page.

Please let me know what to do so I can log into my email.

Thank you! Christine

I continue to get a password request while using Mozilla Thunderbird on an AT+T Account. It will not accept my password but will accept a secure password. Even then it only lasts a day or two and acts up again.

I've recently had to abandon my POP account and subsequently my ISP, who has stopped supporting email clients other than their own. I wanted to keep using Thunderbird and while I accept POP is gone, I wanted to maintain access to my old, downloaded emails as they form a useful database of information. I've done this by disabling the server connections of the old POP accounts but leaving accounts themselves in Thunderbird and adding my new web-based account (Protonmail) to download current emails into Thunderbird. All this has been accomplished successfully and works well.

It did take a wee bit of work to get all this 'successful and working well' and during the process Thunderbird has somehow managed to duplicate several folders that can not be deleted. They are all empty except for the ones with the > beside them and those contain the expected material that should be there (so are the ones I want to keep.) Any way of getting rid of all these duplications, especially in Local Folders? They don't seem to be hurting anything but I find them annoying.

I'm on a Mac desktop with Ventura 13.3.1

I posted about this problem back on 9/12/21.

[[TB Stops Getting New Messages|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1350432]]

Now it is worse. Back then I discovered that if I added another view, TB would then get all the new messages for all accounts. By "adding a new view" I mean I normally run with Unified Folders. To get TB to download new messages I could "Add folders all" and the status bar would show TB was logging in to my accounts and downloading new messages. If both Unified and All folders were being viewed, I could just remove the All folders view and the downloads would execute. So that is the way I have been operating for 20 months. But now even that doesn't work! Nothing I do will cause TB to get new messages. To make things worse, if I do About Thunderbird it shows 102.9.1 (32 bit) but it also shows "Checking for updates" and that never completes. I just get the spinning circle for hours.

How can I restore the TB functionality on this Windows 8 tablet?

My email host (GoDaddy) just forced us to switch to Exchange server settings for email clients. As a result, I am now missing a bunch of folders. I know the folders still exist because I can see them when logging in through the web portal, but they are nowhere to be found in Thunderbird. When I first set out to switch to the Exchange settings in T-bird, it seemed to work fine until I restarted, at which point the email account disappeared completely. I then tried to add the email account again but got some error stating that the server already existed and wouldn't let me move forward. Figuring some settings were being stored somewhere I couldn't find, I decided to just do a fresh T-bird install. After the new install, when setting up the account I saw a note about T-bird not natviely supporting Exchange, and that I needed to install the Owl plugin. That seemed to work fine, and after adding the account I was able to see everything. However, when I restarted T-bird the account disappeared again, and I got the same "existing server" error keeping me from adding the account. Several reinstalls later, all with the same result, I dug a little more and found mentions of using the ExQuilla for Exchange plugin instead of Owl, so I took that route. That seemed to work, with the account able to be added, and sticking around after T-bird was shut down and restarted. However, the problem now is that I'm missing some (not all) folders. Previously, with the IMAP server setup, there was the option/functionality to "subscribe" to specific folders, but I don't see that now with the Exchange setup. Here's what I'm currently running:

OS: Windows 10 Home (22H2) Thunderbird version: 102.11.2 (64-bit) ExQuilla for Exchange version: 102.1 (updated May 27, 2023) - Trial version because I wanted to make sure it worked first

At this point if someone could either guide me how to find the missing folders using ExQuilla or let me know how to keep the account from disappearing using Owl I would be very grateful.

Best, G.C.

In the junk settings the “enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account” box is unchecked. But still some important emails continue being blocked and they do not appear in the trash folder. Is there another way I can prevent TB from regulating my email? I appreciate any help with this.

lost emails after running repair folder and some older emails in other folders will not open. Willing to pay for help. None of the online help works for me or I am too stupid to understand what to do. Would really appreciate someone logging on to my computer to fix this.

Please excuse my unfamiliarity with the technical vocabulary.

Earlier this year I switched on Thunderbird to see what new emails had arrived. It started downloading ALL my emails from two of the five email accounts I have. I have a lot of emails as the accounts date from 2010.

Because I was concerned that I might exceed limits on the number of emails I can store on Thunderbird I spent hours going through the different folders and deleting as many of the duplicates as I could.

I switched on Thunderbird today and saw that the same process was happening again. In the time it took me to click on 'Work Offline' it had downloaded 263 emails I already have!

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me:

How can I stop it downloading the hundreds of other old emails? How can I stop this process ever happening again? Why is it happening at all?

Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

For obvious reasons I have unticked the 'Email me when someone answers the thread' so I may be a little slow in acknowledging any responses.

I just noticed this issue about maybe 2 weeks ago. A few tests seem to show it only happens when I use the Google search engine as my default search option. I tried it with Bing search, and I had no issues. I also tried it in Chrome with NO issues either.

So, when I first open FF and enter a search word or phrase from the homepage/default page, it opens the default search engine Google with the results, along with the word or phrase I entered at the top in the text field under the Google logo. It's this text field that is the issue. I should be able to use the backspace to delete characters and change/update my search criteria, YET every time I press backspace, it just auto generates random suggestions, and then places the cursor at the end of the suggestions, thereby preventing me from being able to type my new search criteria!

I can press the X to clear the field, but then as soon as I start typing, it does the same thing, and starts generating random suggestions, and moving the cursor to the end of the suggestions each time, thus I'm still never able to enter my search criteria.

I have cleared cache, cleared data, uninstalled FF, and the issue still persists. I have noticed that sometimes after reinstalling FF, it will work properly for like a minute or so, but then the issue comes back. Also, doesn't seem to matter whether I sign-in using my FF account or not.

Please fix this as I do not want to use Bing for my search engine, and I really don't want to have to go back to Chrome either.

TB has been extremely finicky the past few days with send and receive. The biggest issue is that the Get Messages / Get All New Messages stops responding altogether - it works fine, and then suddenly nothing except (sometimes) the word "null" next to the online icon at the bottom left, and a pulsating blue progress bar in the Activity Manager area, that disappears after a moment.

A few times I have been able to "fix" it by going to Server Settings and changing Connection Security to None temporarily, but this doesn't work every time.

Another "solution" is to change the password on the mail server, which prompts TB to demand the PW. This is not a good solution, as the password must then be changed on any/every other device that connects to the mail server, and then the problem repeats after some period.

Other times, and per a suggestion on another thread with a similar subject line, clicking on the "go offline" icon at the bottom, generates a prompt to download emails before going offline, and this seems to cause a demand for password, which allows emails to be downloaded, but this also seems like a band-aid. What is going on here? Windows 10 64 Bit TB 102.11.0 (64-bit)

I emptied my trash (the 2nd trash box) and lost all of my mailboxes with mail. This happened once before but I managed to find them and save them. I don't remember where/how I found them, have searched everywhere within the program and on my HD, I cannot find what happened to them. I know you're overjoyed to hear from me again, but could you tell me how I can get them back? Is it as simple as going to today's profile? Thanks, Stacy

I have used Thunderbird for MANY years, so I'm not new to it. When using address book I want to be able to select multiple non-contiguous addresses and send email to those addresses only. No matter which of the hints I try in your new instructions, I cannot get this to work. I select one address, press the appropriate key to select the next one, but then first one de-selects. I have spent LITERALLY hours experimenting in an attempt to get this feature to work.

It doesn't work on my iMac or my MacBook Pro, both of which are using the latest Mac OS and the latest Thunderbird release.

Help!
