Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi,

i started using Thunderbird on my Mac last year as i was experiencing issues with Outlook. I was very happy until now, as Thunderbird has a lot of nice functions that are easy to use. One of them is the integration of Teams via the Microsoft Teams Quick Access expansion. However, since two days this has stopped working for me. When i open the expansion tab, i get a message that "the browser version is not supported. Please download the desktop app".

Is anybody experiencing the same problem? Is there some kind of incompatibility between the versions that i am not aware of (both expansion and thunderbird are on the latest release version)?

If anybody knows a solution it would be really good. Thanks

docx and xlsx attached files don't open with I click on them. I want them to open in Word and Excel. Nothing happens. I have to save them to my Desktop and then I can open them.

doc and xls attached files open when I click on them.

I can't find any associations in "files and attachments". 

I'm using version 140.7.0esr (64-bit)

Hi, I have googled this and been into the Thunderbird Help section and cannot find an answer. I am having trouble with one of my email accounts, I want to delete it and it and reinstall it. I get to the point in the process where it says to click on Remove Or Remove account but there is no tab or button that is visible to do this. Help here would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark

Hi, I did something stupid. I accidentally deleted an entire year's worth of emails. I was in the process of archiving them, and mistakenly thought that the originals had been left in the inbox. I thought I needed to re-archive them, so I deleted the copies from the archive folder, and then - this is the stupid part - emptied the trash in the archive folder. When I went back to the inbox to re-archive the emails, I realized they were no longer there. I have not compacted the folder. Is there any way to recover the deleted emails?

I just got thunderbird and I'm so grateful to the ones who have immediately answered my questions. Now I'm trying to transfer my email of thunderbird from my pc to my cell phone. I keep trying to take picture of the QR code and it won't take it. I tried with my regular camera and it took it fine. Can you help me? Thank you for your time and knowledge.

When I charge what is supposed to be Thunderbird 115.18 for mac os 15.10.7 on the site of all the versions, I only get Thunderbird 147 for mac and it doesn't work correctly as my messages desappear. Where can I really find the dmg I need that is to say: Thunderbird 115.18 for mac (and not the 147).

Just updated to latest Thunderbird version and now I can't send my email. I keep getting the message "Login to server smtp.broadband.rogers.com with username [my email address] failed."

Then when I exit this notification, the following shows up "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'."

I made not changes afer in upgrade of Thunderbird to latest version.

Any help you provide would be appreciated.

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 102.15.1 on my laptop and have a problem with right-click menus on folder names.

The menu appears for a brief instant and then disappears. If I move the mouse cursor slightly then it is redrawn and behaves normally.

Is this a known problem, i.e. requiring a further upgrade?

I have just acquired a replacement PC and installed Thunderbird, and (as happened on previous occasions) I am unable to send emails because the outgoing server settings that were automatically detected are incorrect, and even feeding in those I recorded on the last occasion does not work. I have had a long conversation with somebody at Plusnet Help Desk, who agrees that the outgoing server should be mail.care4free.net and the port number should be 25, and the connection type should be SSL. He also thought that on my "Account settings" screen there should be an option "Account actions" through which I may be able to solve the problem, but this is not there. I think that last time I had this problem, some genius on this forum managed to solve it, and hope that this will again be the case!

I'm a retired IT Tech and supported MS Outlook with Exchange for years. Lately I've tired of the constant bickering between Google and MS that just seem to make using Outlook at home difficult. I've been working on Migrating from MS Outlook to Thunderbird v147.0.1. I had a large PST file with Saved Items and it's been a struggle to process all that but finally got connected to Gmail, converted/imported the PST items and then began working on Calendar. Finally got all that working and I'm now having trouble getting Google Tasks connected to Thunderbird. Google doesn't seem to be exposing the Tasks feed via CalDAV. Has anyone run into this before and does anyone have any suggestions to resolve? Thanks.

Hello, sometimes memories pop up that I want to stop repeating. The button for this is “close” or "close all" in German. But the popup menu doesn't disappear. That bothers me a lot. I can't say at the moment whether only the dates from the addresses are affected.

A search showed that others have experienced this same error message, but as far as I can tell, they all were unable to access their email. These messages began appearing about a month ago. They pop up in Troubleshooting Mode. They did not in Windows Safe Mode. AVG and ZoneAlarm are not the culprits.

Thunderbird (current version) freezes each time an email is closed and when it does so, it freezes the entire computer. Computer: MacBook Pro 16"; Tahoe 26.2. The freeze last for 2-5 seconds before it releases.
