How do I set the date format with the new version of Thunderbird.
With the new version, Thunderbird no longer uses the date format set in Windows (7). How do I set my (European; dd-mm-yyyy) format?
If I send a mail from Templates folder from "account X", then the Thunderbird puts it to the "account Y" Sent folder. What can be the problem?

We are a company and there is an account ("info" profile) which we use together. We used to create templates here to use it together. Also we use our own profile with our own name to communicate within the company.
Problem1: The problem is that: if my colleague creates a template and saves it to the "info" profile, after we send it, the Thunderbird saves it to our own profile's Sent folder. If I create a template in the "info" profile, it works well and after I send it, the Thunderbird saves it to the "info" profile's Sent folder.
Problem2: If I send a template from "info" profile templates which is created by my colleague, it shows my own address instead of info@****.hu. If the template is created by myself, it works well. (see on the attached screenshots)

Any idea? What can be the problem with my colleague's Thunderbird settings?

Dear Community,
I have some trouble on Windows 10 (x64) using Thunderbird 60.0 (x32) and Yubikey NEO to sign email using s/mime.
If I import my cert using "Manage Certificates" it works well but if I try to use my Yubikey Thunderbird always says "Unable to sign message. Please check that the certificates specified.....are valid and trusted for mail". My Yubikey works well with emClient and Outlook.
I installed OpenSC 0.16 (x32) and I add a security device pointed to SysWow64/opensc-pkcs11.dll (like specified in this forum https://forum.yubico.com/viewtopic7062.html?p=8857). I can see my cert (PIV_II) and I can select it for Digital Signing and Encryption but I'm always got the same error while trying to sign my email.
If someone has an idea it will be helpfull.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Regards

Brought up Thunderbird and it did not go to the normal display. Instead it came up wanting to go through the set up stuff! I went through that and told it to use my existing e-mail address. Program started up OK but none of my old e-mails are present. Only those which were on the server. My address book is in tact. I tried to locate the e-mails in my profile but there are no mbox files present at all. I checked and I have "show hidden files" selected. Where am I going wrong? I am using Windows 7.

Thunderbird labels all Gmail junk, from contacts, frequent senders, all. Gmail does not label this mail junk. Windows Mail Live does not label my incoming mail junk. This happens on both a Win 10 desktop and a Win 7 laptop. All boxes on account settings relating to junk are un-checked on both computers. Clicking "not junk" on one computer eliminates the junk label on the other. This has been going on for several weeks, but not before. I can't tie it to a particular update.
what is happening and how do I fix it?

A couple of years ago we were able to setup Thunderbird email for an HF Radio email emergency application that would allow us to send email without using the internet. This application used the SCS Mail program and was designed for installation in remote and isolated locations that could loose internet access during an emergency.
That original setup worked very well at the time but when we attempted to use the updated Thunderbird program we were unable to get Thunderbird to work correctly using localhost. We were very impressed with the earlier version of Thunderbird and would like to keep using it if we can get it to work for our application.
Thank you,
Martin

I am trying to setup Thudnerbird to retrieve my Outlook365 emails from the University.
The software has been able to validate the servers, IMAP and SMTP, however when testing I receive an error message saying the the "Username or Password is invalid".
I don't know how much this relates but I am afraid the Micorosoft accounts through school use some kind of double authentication or similar.
Any help will be greatly appreciate it.
Moved data to new computer; TB is picking up LocalFolders but not accounts or address books

I have used Thunderbird for well over a decade, from back in the days of TB 3. My most recent installation was, IIRC TB 50-something though it might have been high 40's.
I store all my TB data on a data partition at F:\My Documents\GMMail\Thunderbird. So the Mail and ImapMail folders are in the Thunderbird folder. I have numerous POP accounts of which several use Local Folders and about 50 filters to organize incoming mail. A few POP accounts use their own inbox and filters. I also have half a dozen IMAP accounts with their own filters. I also have several address books sync'ed with various Google Contacts accounts. And several calendars stored on Google plus a couple of local ones.
I had a system failure on my 3 year old laptop so I bought a new one and copied all my data over to it from a recent data backup. I replaced the profile.ini file in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird with the one from my old C drive backup. It points to my TB profile stored in my data partition.
I launched TB, and I can see all my local folders and the filters associated with it but none of my accounts is present (including their filters) nor are my address books other than Personal and Collected addresses. None of my Calendars are listed either.
Has TB 60 changed how these accounts are accessed? Do I need to install an older version of TB and then migrate to 60? Does TB store some data elsewhere than AppData\roaming\thunderbird? (Appdata\local\thunderbird seems to contain a copy of the profile but nothing else.)
I am on Windows 10 x64. I tried using the builtin Mail program in the meantime but it is missing essential mail functionality like setting the from & reply-to addresses, requesting a Read Receipt, filters, etc. So not a viable option.
Thanks in advance for your help.

HI everyone,
I am getting shed loads of emails from Facebook asking me to' friend' someone, or accepting my 'friend offer' or people notifying me of things, often they are replies to me as if I am someone called James, I don't know who that is! I have never been on Facebook in my life and I have no wish to do so! How do I stop them and why am I getting them, how do these people have my emails address?
Thanks very much
Archive old emails from unavailable IMAP provider

Hello
I have an old IMAP account that I never bothered archiving properly. The emails are no longer available from my provider, but they are (appearently) cached in Thunderbird.
I initially tried Ctrl+A and Archive, but that didn't do anything (seems like too heavy operation for Thunderbird, idk) Clicking the Archive-Button on each email works though; until Thunderbird understands that the IMAP is not available and disables the Archive button, it does nothing then. To temporarly solve this, I close Thunderbird and open it again. Now, I can start archiving until the server times out yet again. I have a couple of thousands of emails; a bug fix for this or any other way to migrate the emails would be great. I guess the emails are stored somewhere on the disk, but I have yet to find the "cache" directory.
And yes, I know that I should have migrated when my old mail provider hadn't cut me off. I forgot totally about that, as the emails seemed like being cached already.

I cannot say when it really happened - but recently there was a Firefox and gmail update which also very much slowed down my gmail. today I saw that my Thunderbird button on the desktop was empty - when I wanted to activate it there is a pop up telling me that the link has changed. But I cannot find the Thunderbird anywhere in the folders. This is a desaster as it contains the emails since 12 years. Everything was stored in local folders - where is it gone to? Please do not use abbreviations - I am no PC freak. Thanks in advance
Old server 'Server mail.*********.com has disconnected' Error

Hello,
My company recently changed from Outlook to Thunderbird, and we use IMAP settings from a google server - however we are receiving 2 problems, one severe and one less so.
Firstly, we keep getting an alert that 'Server mail.*******.com has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem' - now the issue is that this is the old email server that we had on our account, but now use imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. Strangely, it occasionally seems that that Thunderbird is reverting back to these settings despite me checking the incoming and outgoing server settings, and having never used mail.**********.com when setting them up. I asked whether anything had happened to prompt this, and I was told that Outlook was accidentally opened on this pc and loaded our outlook data file - I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it? Also, we have 3 computers in the same office all using this thunderbird account and settings for the same email.
Secondly, we have been having issues with the speed of opening and sending emails, although I understand that because we're using IMAP things like sending emails takes time as it's saving to the server, but sometimes we get a brand new (small) email in whose contents will not load for a substantial while, any help with this is appreciated.
Many thanks!

This is message I sent after making changes to the fonts in Thunderbird. It appears that space characters are being replaced by the other characters I spoke with the Interface Alarm Company and they are really trying to gouge us.�� We owe$300+ for the tech that came out and told us the VOIP phone will not work with the system.
Now they want $350 to install 4G module and the monthly rate will go from $22 to $34 a month.
I called Smith Thompson and they will take the monitoring.
$89.00 for the 4G module and $24 a month for monitoring.
Let me know if this is something you approve this change.��
Adding a new tag and colour enters the list at random(?) and renumbers other tags

In Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32-bit) if I add a new tag and colour combination it appears to add the new entry at random to the existing list (but not at the end of the list). It also renumbers the remainder of the list.
This renders meaningless the whole point of remembered shortcuts to tags by number.
Is there any way to allocate numbers to, or rearrange the order of, tags to make life easier and more predictable?

I can't send emails any more, since yesterday. I get an error message saying, "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. Failure sending mail. Try again later. Please check the message recipient "xxxxxxxxxxx@mail.com" and try again"
Interestingly, if I select another email address (gmail in this case) as the sender, it sends OK.
Edit: This has proved to be an intermittent problem! Sometimes I can send test emails to myself, sometimes I can't.
