Comment: I don't think Thuderbird was ready for this Edition/Version/Transition.

Question: I have several Email Addresses/Accounts. When Thunderbird updated their Software, only a few of my Email Addresses now show under "Inbox". How do I get the other Email Addresses under that Folder/Header? I used to have an Add-on>Manually sort folders but that Add-on was disabled with the Thunderbird Update and is no longer compatible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Long time enjoyer of mozilla software here. Recently I've run into a very strange issue. It appears as if an email address in Thunderbird is blocked somehow. Whenever I try to send to, or send from this email address, it gives an error. See examples below.

Please note, if I use a different account to send the email, there's no problems. If I use webmail to do the same thing, no problems If I use an app on my phone to do the same thing, no problems. So I am pretty sure the issue is in Thunderbird.

Also note this is a 'catch all' account - so the account is configured to be able to send from any address within the same domain, through a single configured identity. Any other addresses work fine. There's just one specific address that gives the problem.

I know I can easily save myself some headaches and change the email address, but I don't like having strange problems and want to figure out what is wrong. If anyone has any idea what could be going on or if you need more information, let me know.

Example error when sending from the address:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Verification failed for <someaddress@domain.com> Sender verify failed. Please check the message recipient "someaddress@domain.com" and try again.

Example error when sending to the address: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: No such recipient here. Please check the message recipient "someaddress@domain.com" and try again

I am using Firefox on a Mac Mini, previously on Monterey but now on Sonoma.

Since about a month ago, any update of Firefox would cause a crash on start up, and the last working version is 118. The latest version of 121 has not fixed this problem.

Firefox would crash after a few seconds after starting up the app. I have attempted the following:

  • Creating a new profile or "Refresh Firefox": same crash.
  • Disabling extensions: same crash.
  • Troubleshoot mode: does not crash, but does not fix anything under normal mode.
  • Removing files related to Firefox before a clean install: same crash. I only deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox and the app bundle – not sure if anything else could help.
  • Creating a new macOS user, and install Firefox: does not crash.

I am almost ok with wiping my profile just to be able to use Firefox again, but apparently I do not know the correct files to wipe.

Links to crash reports using version 119 and 121:

I have three Thunderbird accounts - all are POP. Everything's working fine.

Yesterday I was trying to create a fourth account, but mistakenly entered the email address of the first account as the name. I now have four accounts, with the name of the fourth (the new account) being the same as the name of the first. That's right, two accounts with the same name. The mail server created it as an IMAP account.

I'd like to remove the fourth account but I'm afraid that if I do remove it I'll also remove the first account, since both accounts have the same name. I don't want to lose the first account because it is my primary account, and I receive most of my email there.

From within Thunderbird can I remove the fourth account without damaging the first or should I go directly to my profile and delete the relevant files?

In the past two days I've not been able to insert a hyperlink into an email via either the link icon nor the insert navigation.

When I hit either I am no longer able to do anything with the message I am working on it freezes. I am still able to go back to the rest of my mailboxes/folders without an issue.

Anyone know if this is a known issue or what the fix might be?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever I attempt to watch something on any streaming service, I get an error message from the streaming service and a note from Firefox saying "The WidevineCdm plugin has crashed." I have tried to solve this problem a number of ways, but have unable to find a solution.

My best guess is the problem is due to the most recent WidevineCdm update, as in the plugins settings the most recent update for the plugin was on 10/21/23, which is shortly before I first noticed the problem. I did test out various streaming platforms on other computer browsers (Chrome and Microsoft Edge) — they gave the same website errors as I got on Firefox, but those browsers did not indicate the cause or suggest which plugin failed. I additionally tested out desktop apps for some of the streaming platforms; they work fine without any issues, but unfortunately the main streaming platform I use doesn't have a desktop app and only works in browser.

My computer is a Lenovo Yoga 9i, it's running Windows 11, and everything is up-to-date.

The methods I have tried to fix this issue with, to no avail: - submitted crash reports - toggling the "play DRM restricted content" options in Firefox, and toggling whether or not the WidevineCdm was activated, closing the browser between each toggle of options - clearing Firefox's cache - running Firefox in troubleshooting mode to make sure it wasn't a different extension interfering with it - tried running Firefox in compatibility mode - tried to find support from the people who made WidevineCdm, but apparently they don't do end-user support - deleting the WidevineCdm manually from the program files for Firefox and Chrome (since Firefox says the plugin is from Google), and then reinstalling it via the chrome components page. This briefly lead to the message on the plugin page that WidevinceCdm would "begin installing shortly." It seemed frozen like that for a good while, but then I tried clicking the "check for updates" and that message disappeared, and it went back to crashing when I tried using a streaming service. - uninstalling both Chrome and Firefox, restarting the computer, then reinstalling both browsers

As far as I can tell, the plugin comes automatically installed in the browser, and there isn't an alternate plugin for decrypting DRM-restricted content. If there's a way to set the WidevineCdm to a previous version before the update that's crashing it, I haven't found it, but I am no expert in computers or coding, and my guess about it being caused by the recent update could be wrong too.

I'm at my wit's end here, any help fixing this problem is greatly appreciated.

The last auto upgrade included a calendar function, which I switched off as I thought this was causing the problem. But now after all the messages have downloaded, I get the usual pop-up box in the bottom right of the screen telling me I have received x messages but it only half fades in and the whole PC jams. CTR-ALT-DEL does not work and I can't switch to a different window or even click on anything in the Thunderbird screen. The only thing that I can do is hard reboot the PC and switch off the router, which allows me to start up Thunderbird without anything downloading. I am using Windows 7 and Avast as my AV. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hello - I upgraded from TB 78 to 91 a couple weeks ago, and my boss just let me know today that in Outlook, which most of my coworkers use, my digitally signed emails are showing the error "There are problems with the signature" for all of my emails since the upgrade to v91. Specifically digging into the Outlook error shows:

"Error: The message contents may have been altered. Signed by heise@wisc.edu using RSA/SHA256 at 9:15:07 AM 2021-10-22."

I did not change my certificate, and emails sent using Nine (Android email client) and Outlook show up as fine. It's the same problem that this user describes here from several months ago.
