Sorry if this is in the wrong place. Did not seem to be an obvious one for my question.

I go tired of the Outlook web client always trying to us AI to assist me. Installed Thunderbird ver 128.6.1 esr on a Ubuntu 24.04 system running Cinnamon desktop. All components are up-to-date (or should be as auto-update is on). System details at end of message.

Screens for mail and tasks are rock solid. The calendar jitters up and down rapidly small amounts. Not the entire page. Just the part where the calendar is displayed. Makes things a tad blurry and is tiring to look at.

Any ideas on how to resolve?

TIA

Hi, I am using Thunderbird 128.7.0esr (64-bit) and have a problem with my signature not showing up when I forward an email.

I have set the "Include signature for forwards" flag on in the Composition and Addressing page under Account Settings.

My signature works for new emails and for replying to emails, just not on forwarding emails.

I have a HTML signature and I've tried it as HTML ("Signature txt" with "Use HTML...") and also as a HTML file ("Attached the signature from a file instead..." ) but no luck for either.

I have restarted Thunderbird, but sill no luck, so I'm just wondering if anyone might know what I'm doing wrong as I'm fairly new to using Thunderbird, thanks.

I have read this post [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1484529] and I am having the same problem. It appears the OP has now gone away as there are no more updates. It appears they have either given up or found a solution and not posted it.

Question: On every start of Thunderbird, I get the popup from Google requesting access for TB to my gmail account that I am using here. I answer yes to allow TB and then this is followed up by an email from Google to my gmail acount and my backup email. Is this correct the correct operation? I personally don't think so as I thought everything should be transparent after setting things up. I don't seem have this probem with my other two gmail accounts either. I have tried repeatedly to find out how to fix this but I have not been successful. I have found numerous articles about this in various forums but they have either been extremely vague or not posted the solution. I am almost sure something changed a while ago but I don't know what it was.

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to fix this.

I'm trying to add a new contact. After adding First and Last Names, I copy the email address from a list and paste it into the email address box but when I try to Save, the email address box is bounded in red and nothing will save. However, if I manually type the email address letter by letter, it does save. I have many new contacts to add and doing it manually instead of copying and pasting will take a long time.

Hi, How do I set up my email n Thunderbird ? I tried what I saw on the forum but still not accepting or sending emails

My email was working on outlook live now that won’t work either.

Before that I was using which was the best! Windows mail live 2012 that will work get emails but won’t send ?

Hate using spectrum webmail so any ideas would be much appreciated.

My settings to send and receive were :

Pop-server.wi.rr.com 110 port

SMTP-server.wi.rr.com 25 port


Tried this to didnt work says can’t find server

Mobile.charter.net for both 995 and 587 for sockets is what’s found when I try to do set up but sad can’t connect?

I have attempted to remove some saved credit card payment methods Following the instructions on your support website, I have succeeded on the first three instructions. But on the 4th step, I am instructed to choose one of the following - Add, Edit or Remove .

1) Only the "add" prompt works. But it won't accept the credit card number I enter.

2) What is more, I cannot access the other two prompts.

What should I do?

My wire has a spectrum account and a Thunderbird account. Spectrum did something that locked her out of Thunderbird. Tried everything and it will not connect. Many people that have a spectrum account have told me that they have the same problem. One of T Bird's moderators told me to take screen shots (David GG) to send to him to analyze if all my setting are correct. I am in my 80's so things are a bit slower for me to grasp. I cannot add them to this form only by email. I would love to get T Bird up and running again for her as she has lost her hearing and this is her only enjoyment. I do have the screenshots in my email.

Thank you

Hi, I have configured successfully an email using the user SMTP server from the host i.e. hostinger.com

Now I want to add a third party SMTP server like Sendgrid. Is it possible? If yes, can you refer me to some reference material I can refer to, to do the installation?

Even it is okay, if I need configure only Sendgrid SMTP from the outset, that is also okay.
