I just installed Thunderbird version 115, and it's a mess. When I attempt to write a message, the background color is black, making it almost impossible for me to read what I am typing. I've tried changing it through Settings/Composition/HTML Style, but that didn't work. I selected text color Black and background color white, but if I left the Sending Format as automatic, my new written messages still have black text on a black background. If I also change the Sending Format to Only HTML, then my new written messages have white text on a black background -- the exact OPPOSITE of what I have selected. (And yes, I have checked repeatedly. I have selected black text on a white background.) I'm running Windows 11 Home. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on how to fix the colors of my messages. Thanks!

We just got two new office computers and Windows Mail sucks.

So I downloaded Thunderbird, and set up my accounts as described by both Shaw's website and Thunderbird's.

Everything seemed to be working ok until I tried sending my first email. I got this message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: shw-obgw-4003a.ext.cloudfilter.net cmsmtp Connection Rejected - see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/207.194.98.229 AUP#IPBL00001.

I tried changing the port to 2525 as I read in a Thunderbird forum that worked for some, but it just changed the error message slightly...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I just want a mail app that I can create folders in!

Toshiba laptop Windows 10 pro, I7 4th gen 16GB ram I have boot into troubleshooting mode and same problem still. Can I reinstall tb102 over tb 115? Thank you in advance for any help

I am using filters and address books to send incoming emails to the right folder.

Sometimes I want a routed email in a different folder. But when I move it to that folder, either by drag and drop or the Move function, the filter puts it right back where it knows it belongs.

Is there a way to move an email so the program knows I am the boss? (I am, aren't I?)

I've been a Thunderbird user for many years and have always been impressed with its ability to send most spam messages to the junk folder. However, the new version of Thunderbird, while visually appealing, no longer filters spam and I have to send the messages to junk manually. What is wrong with the new version?

Sometimes when I delete a group of emails from my inbox it deleted the entire inbox. It has happened twice now. When it did it yesterday I had 8 emails selected for deletion. When I hit delete it deleted all 2200 emails in the box. When it was deleting them I confirmed that only 8 were selected by looking at the number of selected in the lower right corner of the screen. Worse, when I click undo the delete it does not restore the 2200 deleted but only the 8 that I had selected for deletion. This is a serious bug and has resulted in loss of all my emails over the few years.

Hi. It looks like there was a Thunderbird update and my inbox and sent boxes are completely empty. It says I'm getting emails (I did a test), but I can't see them anywhere.

I have been getting messages to up date Thunderbird. The first 3 were last week, and appeared to be in Chinese. Today I started to keep the update messages in English. So I went the the thunderbird update release channel and downloaded the latest release. But, I am still getting notifications to update thunderbird. I rechecked the release channel and am using the current version.

So anybody know what is going on?

I receive incoming email on Thunderbird, but cannot send mail. I have used Thunderbird for years, never updated it and this problem just started yesterday (7/25/23). I have gotten an error message saying "login to server smtp.nycap.rr.com failed". I have called my ISP, Spectrum, and ascertained that my email account with them is functioning, so the issue is something with Thunderbird.

I had to leave Thunderbird because every time I try and create a customized signature, as much as Thunderbird excels in that area, the image storage drops the filename's path every time.

Example:

image loaded: http://rich.allcorn.us/files/headshot.png

when I go back to it: headshot.jpg

It forgets the path, so the file doesn't show up in the eMail. I purposefully put it "on the web" so it could be accessed from anywhere!

When is Thunderbird going to fix this so I can leave Apple's mail program and go back to Thunderbird?

Hi, Up until Supernova I used the BiDi Mail UI extension in order to write right to left text (hebrew) in a Thunderbird. BiDi Mail UI is not compatible with the new release and I am searching for a new way to correctly write rtl messages. Can you suggest a new way? I Thunderbird going to finally develop this feature natively as almost all text editors today do this without any issue. Thank you Very much!

Hi

I have endured weeks of Thunderbird conflicting with Hotmail.

Occassionally it works.

Today is another 'no go' day cannot trans or recieve. Hotmail online works but not Thunderbird.

What is going on at Mozilla ?
