MY SYSTEM: Thunderbird 140.5.0esr running in Linux Debian Bookworm

I have created a filter from a recently received message via pop. The settings are: OK Manually Run OK Getting New Mail: Filter before Junk Classification

Match all of the following From Contains xyz.co.uk

Perform these actions: Move message to XYZ on my mailbox

Press OK

In the Message Filters window, Run selected filter(s) on: XYZ Press Run Now

There is no response, and all the messages remain in the Inbox.

I have repeated the Run Now process on an old filter (by moving the message back to the inbox), and that works fine.

The only oddity of the current message is that it is a no-reply message eg From = no-reply@xyz.co.uk

Any ideas welcome!

I have missing buttons or shortcuts in my Thunderbird. There was a refresh button and a new message button on my tool bar, they have disappeared. Is there a way to get them back? Thank you!

Have tried so many times to transfer from old laptop to new laptop, never works. Have watch the youtube videos and followed this. Can not get it to work. Just want the emails from the old to the new laptop Thank you

Method using a transfer device On your source computer Connect a device for data transfer, either a local one such as a USB flash drive, or a remote storage drive. Click the menu button Fx57Menu, then click Help and select Troubleshooting Information. Locate the "Profile Folder" entry, then click Open Folder. Your Thunderbird profile folder will open in Windows Explorer. Close Thunderbird. From your Thunderbird profile folder in Windows Explorer, go up three levels. Right-click on the Thunderbird folder and select Copy. Right-click the device you are using to transfer your data, then select Paste. If you are using a local transfer device, remove it safely from the source computer. Note: This steps can also be used to create a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder.

On your destination computer Connect the same transfer device you have used before to copy your Thunderbird profile folder from the source computer. Right-click on the copy of the Thunderbird profile folder that you created on the transfer device, then select Copy. Open Thunderbird (Close the account setup window if it appears.) Click the menu button Fx57Menu, then click Help and select Troubleshooting Information. Locate the "Profile Folder" entry, then click Open Folder. Your Thunderbird profile folder will open in Windows Explorer. Close Thunderbird. From your Thunderbird profile folder in Windows Explorer, go up three levels. Right-click inside the folder, then select Paste. When prompted, choose to replace your current data.

Hi, is there a way to get Thunderbird to move to the tray when I press the X button in the top right corner?

I've tried enabling "When Thunderbird is minimized, move it to the tray" but that just changes what the minimize button does. When I press X, Thunderbird still quits.

I've done some googling and I found this extension: https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/minimize-on-close/

The problem with it is:

1. It doesn't seem to work with modern versions of Thunderbird
2. It lets you either minimize the window or move it to the tray, but not both (X and minimize do the same thing)

Can I get Thunderbird to close to tray only when I press X? So that the minimize button still works normally? Thanks

I have just had an upgrade to version 145.0 but cannot select any of the optional layout formats that I had in previous versions as they are all greyed out. Why is this?

I migrated one mac, which was intel based, to another, which is M4. It all went fine. I have the same versions of OS and Thunderbird on each, before the migration. The new machine is a 2025 Mac Studio. The old machine is a 2018 Mac Mini, 6 core Intel Core.15

On the old machine in Thunderbird, under my user, all my files are listed. On the new machine, files are not listed.

I saw a lot of information/suggestions to replace the Profile folder under: USER/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles And I copied it straight over from the old machine, with negative results.

I did notice that under profiles, it continues: m8mojurw.default-esr/Mail/Local Folders/ where there are some other goodies, some of which are "documents".

however, on the new machine, those same files are there, except they are "unix executable files"

I have migrated many times over the years and this hasn't happened.

I have done all of the suggestions I found so far, such as the Profile copy/past, reinstalled Thunderbird from scratch, looked thru comparisons of the Account Settings....

Oh, a couple more things:

If I look under my user and go to "Account settings" then "copies & folders" to looks different on the 2 machines. The old machine has: a check next to "Place a copy in" and under that a dot for "Sent folder on:" and my user name. On the new machine there is: "Place a copy in" and I cannot write into the "sent folder on" space, I can only select Choose and Account -> Local files as if the user doesn't exist (?) Thanks

I don't remember when it started but text that wasn't underlined before such as: Names of shortcuts in new tab view Titles of YouTube videos on home page, and recommended while watching a video (not on the video itself) Reddit titles and usernames (old UI)

I have checked settings as best as I can and tried disabling all extensions but still have the issue.

What settings do I need to get Street View to return the street view rather than a black screen in all 4 of my Ubuntu browsers, when it used to work fine but now is trash ?

HAVE A SUB-FOLDER 'X' IN A COMPUTER 'A' (WIN XP / TB VER. 2.0.0.24) AND NEED TO TRANSFER IT (WITH MESSAGES!) TO COMPUTER 'B' (WIN 7 / TB VER. 24.0). SIMILAR SOLUTION ALREADY OFFERED DOES NOT SEEM TO APPLY?... (THE SCREENS MENTIONED CAN NOT FOUND ON THIS XP)... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH THE FULL DETAILS. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

As far as I can determine, the newer MSN mail/explorer no longer has an export option. The only thing you can do is print the list, and I did so to a PDF file, but first wasted a LOT of printer paper. As near as I can tell, the file format is a bit hard to convert to just a CSV file, other than by hand, which would take a very long time. I started doing it on Excel but it would take a very, very long time. So, I'd even be willing to pay for a service/program that would be able to generate a CSV file in Thunderbird format. I'd appreciate any help or ideas. Please note that MSN has changed; anything that you google or so far in Thunderbird help, will not work as there is no longer an export function. I'd be thrilled to know I missed something! Sheila

I need to re order the email accounts, not the individual folders. I can't seem to find any way to do this, although I know others must have this problem and there should be a solution. Any help gratefully appreciated.
