Hi,

I'm having a issue with the current Thunderbird not saving my Gmail account when added.

So, I add it, when I close Thunderbird down and reboot it the Gmail account is gone.

I have three other accounts working fine (A domain name, a Hotmail, and a different Gmail account)

Any idea's?

I have my Windows theme set to dark, so the fact a lot of people like to send emails where the text is set to black instead of default is kind of annoying, especially since with the email I'm currently trying to reply to, I can't seem to reset the color so I actually read back what I'm typing. Good luck reading this, even with the help of it being selected

I am using version 115.5.1, but I have noticed this with previous versions as well. When I copy the contents of my Profile to back it up, I get the following message for SQLITE files: Item Not Found Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\hasmo\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\arbdst7o.default Verify the item's location and try again abook.sqlite-shm Type: SQLITE-SHM file Size 32.0 KB Date modified: 12/4/2023 9:31 AM

If I click "try again", I get the same message. If I click "skip", the copying proceeds until the next SQLITE file, and I repeat the skipping process. This appears to happen for all the SQLITE files (SHM and WAL). Fortunately, I have not had occasion to need the Profile file to replace what I am currently using in Thunderbird, but I have had issues in the past that required me to use the back up to replace/recreate my Profile. My question is about these SQLITE files. Will skipping them in the copying be a problem later if I need to use the back up? If so, how do I keep the SQLITE files in copying process?

Thanks, Harry

As the title asks, how can I filter from the raw message? Not the body or header, but from the source?

I seem to be plagued with targeted spam, yes it's going in the junk folder and I believe I am utilizing SpamAssassin and training it to work as best as possible.

The problem is when going through my junk folder to double check if there are any false positives (there always is), I can't see anything with the ton of junk in there, so I've used very unique filters to just delete most of them, however my filters would be much more simple and efficient if I could filter using the source. In fact I could reduce my filters from 10 to 1.

In previous versions of TB there was an option to select a different folder under "Server Setting > When I delete a message > Move it to this folder". The only option I currently see is to choose a folder but only for the same email account. Windows 10 - TB ver 115.5.1 (64-bit)

Since the Supernova update I have been unable to resolve issues with expanding subfolders and inability to access folders due to file summary issues. I continuously have to repair folders. My sent and trash folders randomly disappear and then reappear. I've used Thunderbird for years, but am having to pursue another email option.

Unbelievable I know but when I open the highlighted email sent to the highlighted recipient it's a email that was sent to someone else!!! This has happened regularly since Supernova and I am sorry to say as a user of Thunderbird for donkey's years (I have donated several times) this is of course unacceptable. Unless you can quickly tell me what is wrong and fix it I will be having regrettably to change email platform to someone else.

Added several email addresses to an existing address list, now get error "Choir-2023 <Choir members> is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email." when trying to use the list. Other address lists are usable.

Hello fam.

I just downloaded an extension of a particular app. It's expected that the app automatically connects with the browser as I click to join them but it keeps failing. How do I rectify this?

Hello. I have my own self hosted mail server and I would like to use OIDC/Oauth2 authentification anbd take benefit of MFA/WebAuthN. I am interested in using OAuth connection with Thunderbird

Right now the definition of clientId, scopes, endpoints are hardcoded here: https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central/blob/master/mailnews/base/src/OAuth2Providers.jsm

Do you have any tip to add our own server definition without needing to recompile Thunderbird ?

I saw previously it seems to be possible to append definition via this hack; https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/addons/Tc85dff9ce12063c6-Mca4319b1e41dfa4b426e22fc/extension-to-add-custom-oauth-provider but now ChromeUtils.import() exports only EXPORTED_SYMBOLS which contains only getters functions

Another manner could be to improve https://github.com/mozilla/releases-comm-central/blob/master/mailnews/base/src/OAuth2Providers.jsm and add function where a plugin could append new definition Do you have any suggestion, better idea ?

Kind Regards, Edouard

I want to bring up a different subject in a threaded conversation, so I reply-all and change the subject line.

TB keeps this new conversation in the same thread.

Is there a way to break it out of the thread and start a new one?

So gmail is doing what it does best by blocking users who don't routinely sign in on their site. Right now I have lost access to 6 emails I use pretty much daily.

Does TB have any plans on tweeking the program so when someone using TB and has gmail accounts will actually be recognized by gmail as a legit sign-in? One would think gmail's system would treat a sign-in by TB the same as it does physically being on gmails site to sign-in...right? Apparently not.

Also, after the last update, TB is not handling gmail folders very well. I have to wait to see what I deleted, saved, etc..compared to before. It looks like TB is signing into gmail for each and every process instead of the one time per account? Why? This might explain why gmail keeps telling me "You have attempted to sign into your account too many times...please come back later" This is after one attempt to physically sign-in on each of these 6 accounts. Now they blocked sign-ins to all of them thinking I'm a hacker.

I'm not complaining, just trying to understand.

Hi

   In order to develop the oath2 authentication method for a Server., What is configuration required to make  in the thunderbird to redirect URL for token . How to achieve this using server and client URL htttp  request?

How Oauth2 is supported for different cloud services like google, ms, yahoo. How Thunderbird knows which URL to connect for OAuth2 service for different cloud providers?

Thanks Prakash

How do I recover my lost emails, folders, accounts, and go back to where I was before an unrequested Thunderbird update last week. Also how do I find out what version I was using, so I can go back to it. colink1946@gmail.com Regards. Colin.

I can receive emails but I cannot send emails with Thunderbird. When I try to send an email I get the error message: "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username info@mybusiness.com (not my real email address) failed". When I click on "Enter new password" nothing happens, the Window to enter the new password doesn't pop up just the same error message as above appears. Already tried everything I found in the forum as I see I am not the only one with this problem but nothing helped so far. Changed from OAuth2 to Normal password, deleted the OAuth and SMTP lines in Settings-Security-Saved Passwords but no difference... My system: Windows: 11 Home 10022631 Build 22631 (all updates) Thunderbird Version: 115.51 (latest version) Firewall/Antivirus: Windows Defender (all updates) 1.401.1565.0 Mail provider: Office 365 business (business email address: info@mybusiness.com) SMTP Settings: Description: name@mybusiness.com Server smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS Auth method: OAuth2 User name: name@mybusiness.com (see attachment) I hope someone can help me otherwise I have to use Outlook in which btw I can send emails and as well with my Gmail mail client so the problem is definitely with Thunderbird. Thanks for any help!
