Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

When I upgraded from MacOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma, Thunderbird stopped working. Getting it to work the first time required me to use Apple's 2 Step Verification process to create an app-specific password. After the MacOS upgrade, that process was no longer available. Apple switched to 2 Factor Authentication, which is apparently different and incompatible with 2sv. The other websites and applications on my iMac have already switched to 2fa, and I'm not sure I can have both methods active on the same computer (but I've asked, Apple, anyway).

Is there a recent change in Thunderbird that would allow me to use 2fa instead of 2sv to access Thunderbird?

I have many years worth of emails in Thunderbird that I can no longer access. I can see the directory structure, and some of the email lists, but not the content.

Thanks for the help!

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I get this message from Thunderbird on my desktop computer on app start up: ]Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

This started suddenly about a week ago.

I have Thunderbird on laptop that works fine.

How can fix this?

The T'bird 115 with tabs has caused my problem. With 115.5.2 every email in my inbox and deleted box have been tabbed and extend for a huge number across the screen to the righthand side. Many have multiple copies of each email. Using web advice to turn off tabs which suggests use TOOLS / Options /Tabs to turn off tabs. There is no Options in my TOOLS drop down. Another solution is to right click in a space in the Tab bar then click Customise then look for the Tabs option. The Customise tool only gives option to add more buttons to the menu bar. I have avoided going back to an earlier version as I am worried I might lose information in the folders that I have created for important emails (ie insurance, warranties etc). I thought the Tabs was a good idea but it is not working for me. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I'd be happy and grateful to you and your tips. I use Win11 and Thunderbird Ver. 115.5.1 . My problem started months ago. The attached image shows the typical message I receive: the sender does not show, my name always appears instead (Francesco Tamburrano). Moreover when there is a link, clicking on it does not act (does not transfer to the address shown). I am ready to provide further info and examples of received messages. This problem is only with Thunderbird. I am obliged to use another mail....but I love Thunderbird, I really like it! Best regards to the reader!

A new version of Thunderbird got installed on my system now and I keep getting messages from defunct accounts indicating there is something wrong with my password or it can't locate the server. In all cases I have unchecked the boxes in server settings, including "Check for new messages at startup" and "Get new message every __ minutes". Unfortunately it still seems to want to log into the servers and I can't find a way to disable that behavior. I have kept the mail account because I didn't want to lose the emails. I still refer back to them at times. I've been using T-bird for a long time and have 8 or 10 of these accounts. Please tell me how to convince the system to stop trying to access these accounts.

Thanks, Jim.

Please advise - after hours with Spectrum they said my issue is with Thunderbird, (version 115.8). Mac OS 12.7.2 A few days ago, emails stopped SENDING. When I attempt to send I get this error message: "Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500... Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings." SMTP previously used port 25; I have tried STARTTTLS with port 587 and SSL/TLS with port 465, at their suggestion . Please give me correct server settings and SMTP settings for outgoing email, to input on my account settings tab. SPECTRUM was not helpful. From our online chat: ME, giving them my change settings per their instruction: MY Outgoing server SMTP Connection security: SSL/TLS Description: RoadRunner/TWC Server Name: mail.twc.com Port: 587 User Name: xxxxx@maine.rr.com Authentication method: No authentication Connection Security: SSL/TLS THEM: Perfect! They match the settings.

I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my email. It comes to me through my website Bradfraser.net, and is hosted by Viux. Apparently Viux went out of business a while ago and didn't tell anyone. My email stopped arriving at bradfraser@bradfraser.net two weeks ago and all attempts to rectify this have been stymied by my not having my dashboard info for the site, and I am unable to get it from Viux. (Which seems to have a bot answering questions.) Is there any way you can help me access this email account and get it running again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
