I am using Thunderbird for my university account. They provide a tutorial on setting up Thunderbird here.

When I follow these steps, I am unable to send emails. I can fetch my inbox, but that's it. I cannot fetch deleted, sent, draft, or junk items. I cannot see any contacts, I cannot see my calendar.

I am using verison 115.8.1.

I sort messages into folders using filters. Each folder has its own address book of people whose messages go to that folder.

But if I send a message from my phone, it goes to the Sent folder and stays there.

Is there a way to automatically run filters on a folder (Sent) when TB starts up? Or even better, also run it when TB refreshes after a hiatus - for example, when TB stays open when the PC goes to sleep and wakes up again.

This example should be straightforward, as you can see the title bar on the bottom has a dark blue color from the source app (Tusky) while the navigation bar is white. On Tusky the navigation bar is the same dark blue as the title bar.

I'm not sure if Android allows getting the color of the source app's navigation bar, but anything could be better than a pure white one especially when the title bar is put on the bottom. I suggest Firefox to use either 1. Same color as the title bar 2. A slightly darker version of title bar color.

"The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

I have been using Thunderbird for years on Windows and then Linux with few problems. My friend has a newly set up Windows 11 laptop and Thunderbird for email. ISP is BT and email is btinternet.com. Incoming IMAP email works fine but outgoing SMTP keeps failing on authentication. Rebooting the router, which changes the wan ip address, fixes the problem for a time (less than 12 hours). Tested with Telnet. Same rejection. I'm wondering if the problem may be something to do with Thunderbird polling the server too frequently. Outgoing email on my friend's iPhone works fine but I don't know how it connects to the internet.

For perhaps a year I have been using Autofill to input my credit card details when buying online, but suddenly Firefox has forgotten that I had saved a payment method. Is this a recognised fault? I'm now reluctant to input them again as I don't know where they have gone!

Hello,

I have tried to download the newest VDH Companion App (via the link on the github.com webpage) Seven (yes, 7) times and every time the download Fails or I get "Zero bytes". I tried to contact "Support" but there is only a Support Forum and nobody else has posted this as an issue that I was able to find when I searched. So no support is offered. The website suggests that I create an account to be able to post a new issue. However, Every time I have tried to set up a github.com account, I am Unable to do so. The page to set up an account either doesn't load OR if it loads, I can not add any information to it. I am a VDH Registered User and until this morning, the current VDH app I am using, version 8.2.1.1 was working just fine. But now when I try to use it, it says that my VDH Companion App needs to be updated. But I can not even download it to update it. I am running the current version of FF, 123.0.1 on an iMac with Sonoma OS 14.4. We used to be able to email Mig but not anymore. The github.com support page is unwieldy at best and I see that numerous requests for help or support have not been answered or even acknowledged. I am a paid Registered user with a license, but that doesn't seem to matter. I, like many others from what I read online, count on using this app almost every day and I would think that the mechanism for updates should be working correctly. The update files I tried to download came across at crazy low speeds, like 20.1 to 40.5 Kbps! I spent over an hour with Tech Support for HughesNet and much to my chagrin, No Other Websites had any issues with download speed. It was only happening on the github.com website and this one file update. Sorry if TMI but I am just trying to thorough.

As soon as I touch the mouse wheel to scroll up or down, it jumps to the bottom right cell of the page and won't go anywhere else. It's been doing it for a few days and I can't figure out what is wrong. It's this way in every sheet I have. Mouse works fine in every other program. I'm using Firefox, Win 10. There are several persons complaining about this.

Any ideas what is the problem?

I have been using IONOS mail server for years with few problems. However, two days ago I stopped getting new mail. I decided to try and use the fix inbox option in the pull-down and it ended up deleting my existing messages (received before my problem). I contacted IONOS and my mail server is working fine, I can go directly to that server and read my e-mail. I tried uninstalling TB and reinstalling it but still can not receive my messages. There also seems to be a problem when I send the message does not get copied to my "Sent" folder.

Spent about 3 hours on the phone with IONOS and tried everything they could come up with and still no mail. I have sense tried to add another mail account but get the message that "the incoming account already exists". Removed existing accounts, uninstalled TB and tried again. TB automatically remembered my accounts and added them back and I get the "already exists" message again. Tried a couple more uninstall combinations and still no mail from the IONOS server. Help.

I seem to accidentally have deleted some mails which then got purged during compacting. Outlook (which i use from the browser since i'm only on Linux) offers to restore the emails, but when i do that, they get immediately erased again by thunderbird, i've tried several workarounds like copying them to another folder first, marking them as unread etc. Nothing helps. I even installed another email program (bluemail), where the mails where not erased immediately, i could read them in the folder to which they were restored, and i moved them around to maybe fool thunderbird, but to no avail, thunderbird keeps deleting them.

I wonder where thunderbird stored the information that the mails should be deleted, and if there is a way to remove that information. I suppose that would also help with another problem i have, that calendar entries from outlook (which it seems to handle using special email item) are disappearing because these mails were also marked as being deleted, or something similar.

Any ideas? If i can't get around this, i may have to stop using thunderbird, which would really be a pity because everything else reallly runs smoothly for me.
