Is there a setting that I am missing that allows me to see parts of two months simultaneously? As an example; May 2025 ends on a Friday and I have an event which straddles the two months. Unless I have missed a setting somewhere, I am forced to toggle back and forth between the months to see how the timelines are laid out. Perhaps a minor irritant, but one which I can only recall running into in the Thunderbird calendar.

If there is a setting I am missing, please point my blind eyes to it. If not, this could be a nice improvement. Toggle or no toggle.

Thanks all.

When I try to reply (Gmail account) to a message viewed in Original HTML format, I get no space where I can respond anything. The same when I try to forward the message with a comment. When I view the message in Simple HTML or in plain text and hit the reply button there is no problem.

Hi. New windows 11 PC, Thunderbird nebula. 5 different email accounts. For the last few weeks intermittently Thunderbird says it has sent the message but it can't save it, and offers to only save it in local folders. Have tried recreating the accounts affected, repairing the sent folder on the accounts affected,changing the folder that sent items are saved in. Is it is intermittent. Sometimes closing Thunderbird and opening it up again solves the problem. Any help appreciated. Thanks

I have 8 different emails in my Thunderbird. Some of them holds quite huge correspondances. I have all emails set up as Imap. I have plenty of space on my server.

My computer guy tells me there is a bug somewhere that keeps piling up emails to take up much more space on the computer than on the server. We have deleted the program twice and it happens again, and again.

What can I do? Can I use Thunderbird as webmail?

I have just downloaded Thunderbird on my phone as well. Is that what caused the problem this time.

How do I solve my problem.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

I exported Outlook Contacts to a .csv file and imported giberish to the Thunderbird Personal Address book. Can the giberish be block deleted? How should the Outlook Contacts be transferred to Thunderbird? Secondly, I exported Outlook Contacts to gmail and have used them on the web based gmail app to send messages. Don't remeber how the gmail contacts got to the Thunderbird Address book, but they don't work. The first message I sent from Thunderbird from my wife's gmail address to my hotmail address produced the following error:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: The recipient address <Steve Thompson (sthompson2486@hotmail.com> is not a valid RFC 5321 address. For more information, go to

https://support.google.com/a/answer/3221692 and review RFC 5321

specifications. 00721157ae682-70ca8508772sm13401897b3.82 - gsmtp. Please check the message recipient ""Steve Thompson (sthompson2486"@hotmail.com" and try again.

Both imported address books are unuseable. Please help.

Hello, I still have this problem, does anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot delete a folder under my Local Folder. I have deleted it several times, and deleted the trash also, but no matter how many times I delete the folder, and restart Thunderbird, it still comes back.

Thanks, GDR

Typing after deleting removes space and joins two words together

Hello,

Something strange has just recently started happening (I am on version 138.0.1, build ID 20250512083454).

When I delete a word e.g.

'My new record' changed to 'My new '

and then start typing again, Thunderbird removes the space I had left, after typing the first new letter, and joins the new word to the previous one like this

'My newr'.

I've tried updating and re-installing but that didn't help. I've tried a few different fonts but the problem remains. Is this a TB bug? I've never noticed this happening before. Is it a new setting that I need to tick or untick?

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, it's driving me a bit mad.

Thanks!
