Heya,

I am the maintainer of the British Dictionary.

For one year that I have been working in the "shadows" on my version of US+Canada+Australian, to be released on 1-JAN-2026.

Can I add your list of proper names (~5000 words) to my dictionaries and release the dictionaries as LGPL?

Thank you!

Just noticed that I have 2 folders named Sent. One of them is the Trash folder, which has a garbage can icon next to the word "Sent". When I click on properties of the folder it shows the name as Sent and the Location as mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Trash. I clicked on Repair Folder and that didn't alter the name of the folder. The name "Sent" is read only.

After a couple of years just receiving emails on my phone, I decided to sort out how to send them. I see that the Thunderbird App can be installed simply by pointing phone at desk top screen QR code. I clicked onto Thunderbird Settings/Export for Mobile then clicked 'export' and got request for Username and Password, but have not got these to hand and don't know where to find them. Tried various answers on Google to no avail. Photo of 'Windows Security, Mozilla Thunderbird' request box appears below (hopefully) Thank you

Mozilla's sponsors/advertisers being unethical

3 of the sponsors I've encountered (amazon, Google, temu) (I'll be honest, I don't pay attention often so there's probably others) are incredibly well-known for having te… (read more)

3 of the sponsors I've encountered (amazon, Google, temu) (I'll be honest, I don't pay attention often so there's probably others) are incredibly well-known for having terrible practices. Amazon exploits its workers, pollutes a bunch, and even works with israel. google sells user data, and also pollutes a bunch and works with israel, and temu potentially uses slave labour, as well as polluting a bunch.

I understand Mozilla needs money to operate but I'm sure there are tonnes of ethical businesses it could promote

When I try to embed an image in an email as soon as I click on "insert" and "image" the message freezes. All I can do is to access the task manager to close Thunderbird altogether and then start again - but the same problem occurs when I try again.

I had to fall back on sending the image as an attachment. Now that I come to think of it this has been a problem for some considerable time.

NB as you can see from the sequence this crash occurs before I have been able to select the image - so it has nothing to do with the size or format of the image.

Nothing has changed with account settings. Same problem on another machine that updated to 145.0. Any ideas what is broken?
