Hyperlinks in Thunderbird (115.9.0 64 bit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4-LTS have quit working overnight. Too my knowledge nothing changed. I have followed all the steps in the document "Hyperlinks in messages not working" with no luck. 1) My default browser was Chrome. Changed to FireFox. No Luck. Changed back no luck. 2) Check that no application is specified for HTTP content can not be followed No Preferences option exists under the menu in my version of Thunderbird. Checked in settings found nothing matching the description. 3) Checked for incorrect preferences. Used config editor. Their is no Reset option for the settings. Found the referenced setting. Switched from True to False and then back again, hoping the might reset it. No Luck 4) Switched to Safe mode from the Help menu. No luck.

New to Linux, just set this system up 2 months ago. Migrated my Windows Thunderbird database without issue and it was working fine until this morning.

In need of suggestions. If uninstalling is going to be required, I need to be able to do it a way that does not lose my historical email records or my cardbook address book of 1000 names.

Thanks

When I finish typing something either into the search bar, YouTube, YouTube studio, really anywhere, I have a hard time editing it.

The best way for me to explain it is to show you:

Before edit: Firefox is the best browser, hands down.

After editing: Firefox is ntheot best browser, hands down

What I meant to say: Firefox is not the best browser, hands down.

When I went to add the "not", I selected the place right before the "t" for "the" and began typing. All of a sudden it freaked out and did what you see.

This seems to happen no matter if I am in desktop mode or not. Also, this is even worse when trying to type on YouTube studio to edit the title and description.

"All_I_Need_Is_You_exported_0"

This is the default title that I get on a video. See how there are multiple underscores? When I go to delete them by selecting the spot right in front of them and then add a space to keep the gap, it often completely removes the word to the right of where I am adding the space. This doesn't happen as often, but what happens everytime is when I try to add text to the beginning.

For example:

Before editing: "All I need Is You"

After editing: "Lecrae - I need is you"

What I meant to say "Lecrae - All I Need Is You"

It has this issue when I select the beginning. There is no way to not have the problem because there is no empty space between the beginning and in this case "All".

Lately Thunderbird is very, very slow to send or receive email from POP3 Gmail. I've noticed the slowdown a while ago, and hoped that a reinstall would fix the issue. But it does not.

I am using a fresh snap install of 115.9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, with calendars disabled.

This is what happens:

  • When checking or sending mail, Thunderbird spins up a single CPU core for 130 seconds.
  • The CPU core spins only if Thunderbird is on foreground (not if in background or minimized).
  • I can see on the Network Monitor that until 130 seconds have elapsed no network request are made.
  • After 130 seconds of waiting, some requests to google are made and mail is actually checked in a couple of seconds.

Seems that Thunderbird waits for something that never happens, and actually checks mail only after something times out.

How can I fix this? Do you have any suggestion of what to try?

Regards,

José

Frequent short freezes TB 115.9.0

I am currently using TB 115.9.0 (64 bit) but this problem has existed for a number of recent versions. I have a similar second machine with the same setup and version, same email accounts, and this does not occur so the problem is specific to this machine.

Many times when moving or deleting emails TB freezes up and becomes unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. For example I will delete a spam email and then I can't do anything with TB at all (everything else in Windows 10 works fine during this period and I can for example browse in FF). There is no indication of any problem. I tried compacting and repairing every folder and nothing changed. A while back someone suggested I delete some index file and I did that, it took a couple of days for TB to re-index everything, but the problem persisted through that.

This is very annoying as I get a lot of spam and also file a lot of emails into folders and this really slows me down, having to keep trying to click on something and drag until it works etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi, my mailbox on the server is set to 5Gb. However the size of the IMAP directory of this mailbox on my hard disc is almost 22Gb. Sometimes I occured the situation that the mailbox's size on server lik 500Mb the IMAP catalogue took 80Gb of disk space. What might be the reason. Using 'cleaning' option does not help. Any thoughts? Mirek

I say crashing - it will not open. The closest I get is that it will say 'running troubleshooter mode', and then immediately close again before I can even see the actual browser. This issue does not occur with Chrome or DuckDuckGo, so it is not an issue with a Microsoft Family account. This issue is not related to missing or corrupted redist files, as I have installed all of the latest files there. I would like to switch to Firefox, as I use it on my phone.

Thank you for any help.
