Hi Folks,

I want to seek opinion on how to manage the virus detected in emails (or its attachments) through Kaspersky Anti Virus.

I have large no of emails in TB stored in mbox format. Around 30GB in Inbox and another 5GB in Sent, etc. I also use Kaspersky Internet Security which has anti-virus also active.

Now my anti virus detects some infected emails. How to clean the infected virus emails / attachments.

Question: 1) When using mbox file on TB, is Kaspersky capable to delete ONLY a single specific infected file from the entire mbox data without any corruption of mail data? 2) If not, how to setup the anti-virus to automatically clean, disinfect and delete/quanrantine individual mail. ?

3) Is MailDir a better way to save emails in profile and use anti-virus. There is a warning on Maildir saying its still not settled and may have bugs. Is that true even today ?

Thanks & Regards, Tejas

Hi, I just updated by account with 2FA

The stored passwords are all lost now, I can still see them in my phone (unsynced due to logged out) but cannot see any password in my PC.

Please help

LG Manfred

Good afternoon!

Thanks for the great customer!

We have several computers on a local network without internet access. There is a problem in Thunderbird 143 - files are downloading slowly. POP3 and IMAP are the same. From several tens of seconds to one and a half minutes, 11 files from the letter were downloaded, totaling 20 MB. There is such a feature - if you disconnect the network adapter, the problem practically disappears. There was no such problem in the Thunderbird 115 version. The Em client and Mailbird clients were also installed for the experiment - they also do not have such a problem.

The mailbox is small and contains 20-30 almost empty emails.

Tell me, please, what can be done about it?

Sincerely, Yaroslav.

Thunderbird on a windows laptop is currently only receiving about 10% of my emails compared with my phone and tablet devices which are running Gmail apps. What is causing this? My Thunderbird has been recently updated.

Can someone explain why the emails I write are still spell-checked, even though I have unchecked "Check spelling before sending message" and "Check spelling continuously" in "Settings" countless times? Even the Thunderbird add-on "Replywithheader" still checks spelling, even though I have unchecked "spell-check" there too. I don't want spell-checking, but I can't get away from it! It really bothers me.

Tuesday Oct. 7, our ISP converted to a new e-mail program. I could NOT log in/on I called our ISP's help desk. The 'technician' could not help me log in to our Thunderbird POP 3 account. He had me, WITHOUT asking if I had essential - legal - medical-etc. e-mails in the IN BOX or in folders! He NEVER warned/cautioned all ?would? be lost - GONE.

I URGENTLY need to recover all TB POP3 IN BOX & e-mails in folders. I need to access legal messages today, if possible.

If Mozilla does not have a recovery program, what do I do? I am not seeking to recover ' deleted messages (unless his having me change from the POP3 account to a 'new' IMAP account is the same as ' "delete" '.

Any & all prompt responses APPRECIATED! Remain WELL & Be SAFE!

Thunderbird kept crashing, so I tried reinstalling. When I did, I was told to agree to an upgrade. I did. But now, it can't configure my account, and I've lost everything. Using a Windows 11 PC desktop. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago when trying to send messages ended up crashing Thunderbird if I used the enter key.

Hi, Hopefully this is Bugzilla. I've an issue and not sure if it's a bug or what. Been using these filters for years. Tried most "tricks". (rebooted, etc)

Not sure how to handle this.

Can anyone help? What do you need from me? Thanks

I have calendars and tasks enabled in Roundcube on an account on a cPanel VPS, and I can create a calendar synced to the CalDAV calendar there, but I can’t sync tasks. When I select the calendar on the Calendar tab in TB, at the bottom of the task pane it says “Please select a calendar that supports tasks. I can create both events and tasks in Roundcube. When I create a calendar in TB there is no point at which I can chose whether to sync events or tasks or both. I’m running 143 on Win11. Please help.

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!

I cannot delete this appointment reminder that was sent to me from Joe Cooper Ford when making a service appointment. Keeps popping up, over and over. I cannot edit, delete, change, there is no "read only" option as recommended below. This appointment does not show on the calendar either so I cannot right click as also recommended below. This is very annoying.

Status Code: 2,147,500,037, null

Server Replied with 400 If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

When trying to add my outlook.com email account to Thunderbird 143.0.1, using the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-exchange, I get an "Exchange auth error." I'm able to add the account manually using imap, but I want to use Exchange so I can access my outlook.com calendar and contact when TB is updated to include them.

You Asked: Who is the mail provider? What server name, connection security and authentication method are found in Thunderbird Server Settings?

I answered: mail.pedersendigital.com - Server Name STARTTLS Normal password Let me know if you need my login creds

I received an e-mailure failure of delivery. I hope this helps. I need my e-mail back.

Best, Nancy Pedersen -

This is the second time I've posted about this. I've tried everything and the problem is getting worse. Thunderbird is deleting messages from my inbox when I retrieve messages from the server. All my settings indicate this should not be happening, but it is. I use the IMAP interface and the latest version of Thunderbird.

This morning after I downloaded messages Thunderbird showed no messages in any of my folders, not even archived! What the heck is going on and how can I solve this? I will have to stop using Thunderbird unless I get this resolved -- and fast.

Kindly assist as i have been having challenges accessing my folders e.g Inbox and sent item box from my thunderbird. Additionally, the icons for add a new account have since disappeared

I'm unable to access one of my email accounts on Thunderbird. I put in all the correct settings multiple times and it keeps telling me I must have the wrong configuration.
