Dear support team, My thunderbird freezes temporarily whenever it is checking for emails (IMAP accounts). It is as if the thread that takes care of the GUI/user interaction is blocked while the emails are being checked. I have version 102.4.2 on a Ubuntu 22.04 system (lenovo thinkpad T440s), but it has been going on for a couple of months already (so the problem must have appeared already with several earlier versions). I had exactly this problem already before a recent OS update from Ubuntu 20.04. I have also another computer with Ubuntu 20.04, where I use thunderbird, with the same IMAP accounts set up, and where I never had this problem. Do you have any idea what could potentially be going on? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Matthias

Hi,

Is customizing alert sounds for different contacts possible for Thunderbird 115.6.1? I see a couple of add-ons, but none seem to work with this version.

Thanks

Keyboard has suddenly become irrational during typing. Cursor randomly relocates or clicks. MacBook, fairly new and all up to date.

Running MacBook in safe mode, have disabled all third party apps, have deleted permission for all apps to run in background. Doesn't help.

I use Yahoo Mail. I am receiving a [TRYCREATE] select error on Junk below Archive. This is a dead folder.

In the Trash, the subfolder "Junk" is my SPAM folder for Yahoo Mail.

I want to have the subfolder junk replace the folder junk and stop the [TRYCREATE] select error place.

What do I need to do to fix this problem?

OK I have been trying to go 100% Firefox for just a few months but with privacy and security as primary directive. It would be wonderful to just be in ine well moderated browser ecosystem and actually being able to have my preferences, interest and personal information centralized with eventual goal of digitally divorcing tech companies from my personal data. I still have to use a lot of different devies with varying OS and it literally took me two years to help Apple fix an AppleId problem. Now that I have that sorted out I have been hoping to move away from gmail entirely and eventually have my own mailserver but using icloud now for macs and pcs.

At a minimum it seems like even after forced manual I have not properly sync an imac with windows 10 PC. So to keep it simple I stay there but this morning when I typed into Firefox on my iMac its was google search not Duckduckgo. Not only have I synced it in firefox but icloud should be redudant and I had removed google from list of potential search engines. There seems to be some way for a hostile takeover of these settings and google connstant agressive intrusions asking for data is not just wrong or annoying its simply impossible to not have facebook or google track me beyond california digital privacy standards. The worst offender may be youtube. I want to fix the browser and sync my stuff. But I am also looking for extensions that will help me do that better.

I am pretty thorough and now just want to learn more and would like to believe one can have a semblance of privacy but it seems like it will be an adversarial experience when the companies that do can rollback privacy with clever tv ads. The 'providers' clearly do not give hoot about rules, preferences and laws designed to protect people's rights.. That is what is particulary frustrating. It is not a fair fight but a good one. I guess what I am wondering is if there are specific modules you could add to detect maybewhen an event like change in search engine occurs and whether logs may exist as to how or why the change was made. Even if it was an accidental quick through a popup in chromium or edge where I was always being cued to come back to Chrome. Logging out doesnt always seem to work so i tried syncing with and chrome with more or less same results. Very little actual control or at least a tendency to revert back to the data miners preferences over mine. I want to help stop that.

Been having this problem for a couple of days now.

Emails are coming through but the attachments have a 'Red X' before them and the text of the document has a strike through format. When you right click the attachment the options to save, open etc are all disabled or greyed out.

See attached image.

My thunderbird always requires a password when accessing from a new travel location. To solve this, I need to enter outlook from the web, then verify with a second email, then reenter the password in Thunderbird.

Can Thunderbird/Outlook not remember my Notebook device?

Greetings,

I was wondering if there was a way to move the ENTIRE messages column to the left side of the screen next to/in front of the Folders menu. I tried looking it up online but have not found a way to do this and was unable to find something that looked like what I was looking for on the FAQs.

Windows 10 pro, TB version 115.3.2, tried to underline a word when writing an email, cursor moved to front of the first sentence of paragraph I was writing. Tried several more times, just in case I'd hit a wrong key. Same result every time. I don't use underline much so no idea if this is the result of updating to 115.3.2 which made quite a few other changes to the look of TB that I don't like & make it harder for me to quickly skim what's in my inbox/been routed to inbox folders, & read emails. Also unable to rearrange what's in the bars into most convenient set up for me. But I'm sure all that's unchangeable and I'm just supposed to get used to it or switch to a different email client, so I'd settle for finding out why the underline fx isn't underlining.

I've received an email, along with <<29/12/2022, 12:04 pm You earned the New Member badge on Mozilla Connect>>. Thank you.

Regarding this email, I was preparing to be away from home and not accessing emails, when this arrived. I notice the link expires in fifteen minutes!! Even if I was home I am not necessarily sitting at computer.

I have just tried to go into the message via your link. I see this message << 413 Request Entity Too Large >>. I did submit a question so wonder if the question is answered via this link. It all seems very complex for we ageing users who are not too computer literate.

Is there a way for me to find out if my question has an answer?

I've tried emailing to Community@... and the email won't go! Message is re non-existent Domain. It would be great if there was a straight-forward way to email, for an answer to a question.

Thank you for reading.

I have 2 financial websites that I am unable to use Firefox on and I have to use Chrome. The site are Fidelity Financial and Jackson National. When logged into the website I must select certain links to see the information I am seeking. When selected, Firefox does nothing, it stays on the page with the link I selected. I do not have pop-ups blocked and cannot find the reason for the fault.

Is there an option in settings to force FireFox to stay in the locqtion within thehboomark tree? Currently when I select a bookmark after I selected a bookmark in the bookmark tree, I have sto start from the tree root. But I structured my tree according to similar topics, so I need sometimes a location in the bookmark tree quiet similar to the previously selected bookmark. It would be helpful If FireFox would remember the previosly selected location.

I was forced to upgrade when FF crashed the other day, and now all of my windows are sorted alphabetically. This was exactly the behaviour that caused me to switch from Chrome to FF in the first place. I *HATE* having my windows sorted alphabetically. I have certain windows that remain open all the time, and they remain at the top of my Window menu drop-down, for easy access. (Hence, chronological by when the window opened, the old default behaviour.) Now, FF "helpfully" changes the window position every time I change tabs, and I can't find anything. I mentally sort windows by subject matter, not by the name displayed on the tab. I have tens of windows (20-30 typically) open at any given time. This makes it literally impossible to use the Window menu anymore, and I have to tab through open windows searching for what I need.

Mozilla, please make this a configurable option. It was really horrible of you to enforce this on us, just because some squeaky-wheels decided they preferred alphabetical sorting. They clearly are not power users, and this change has crippled those of us who are.
