As you can see in the screenshot, the umlauts are missing in many emails. Unfortunately, the corresponding fonts can no longer be set in Thunderbird; I use version 140.6.0esr (32-bit). Where can I set that ä, ö, ü, ß (...) are displayed normally? Greetings from Berlin, Markus

In Thunderbird's Settings under "Language & fonts, Choose the languages used to display menus, messages, and notifications from Thunderbird" I have selected Danish and English. Now I would like to remove English, because my folder pane is displayed in English, even though I have selected Danish as the first language (I am from Denmark). But I cannot remove English in Settings, only move Danish or English up or down. I cannot click on the Remove check mark, neither for Danish nor English. Does anyone know why?

Bonjour, La langue FRENCH est cochée dans mes paramètres et pourtant à chaque ouverture de la boite mail, tout est en anglais ! Je veux uniquement la langue FRENCH.

Merci

Dear Community,

I have installed Thunderbird on a new system and imported my mailbox and archives from my old Mac (both running macOS). I am currently using macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and Thunderbird 40.5.0 ESR (64-bit).

All messages—whether imported or newly received—both in the Inbox and in archives are showing the month as April (i.e., xx/4/xx). This issue also appears in the email body when replying or forwarding messages. Please note that the day and year are correct, only the month appears incorrectly as “4” (April)on all messages.

Messages in the imported local folder archives display the correct dates. I have email folders going back to 2006, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance to resolve this issue.

Many thanks in advance, Leonardo

Thunderbird has suddenly started autocorrecting a particular word in my emails. I type the word "Ronnie" a lot and for no apparent reason, a window with "Rog" and an X comes up and it autocorrects to "Rognie" - see attached screenshots.

I've looked online and someone suggested it could be something to do with my address book but it happens when I am composing the email itself.

My name is Roger and I sometimes sign off emails "Rog" but this autocorrection has only just started happening and I can get rid of it.

AnMoS Tahoe 26.2y ideas, anyone?

Overvejer at droppe Microsoft 365 til fordel for LibreOffice og Thunderbird, som begge er gratis og virker fint. Jeg vil høre om nogen der benytter Thunderbird kan få mails oversat automatisk eller ved at højreklikke og vælg oversæt, som det er muligt i Outlook Synes det er besværligt at skulle kopier teksten for at få den oversat. På forhånd tak for svaret

Need support for multi-language support for folder settings:

I am using Thunderbird(EN) as email client to retrieve emails outlook server in German(DE).

Yet the SENT folder there named "Gesendete Elements" in German. This makes the sent emails placed in 2 different folders, same as other folders (e.g. Draft, outgoing...), i.e.: Emails sent from iPhone can be found in German "Gesendete Elemente", Emails sent from Thunderbird(macOS) placed in "Sent", In Thunderbird(macOS) I no folder of "Gesendete Elemente" under this account.

I tried the troubeshooting method at Microsoft/Outlook: ["https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/outlook/user-interface/incorrect-folder-names" | trouble-shooting method at Microsoft] ,

Not working. Hereby macOS native mail client has no issue as well as iPhone. So that must be a issue of Thunderbird. Please help.

How to fuse/ auto designate the "Gesendete Elemente" as SENT etc. ?

hello I have bought with donation thundrbird, but is is in the wrong languange. I am installin g italian now, ant it asks me to contribute again. Can you reimburse the first payment thanks you laura bonanni

Since today (Version 146.0 Windows11 64bit) all subfolders, which are configured to send emails from (e.g. name+test@example.com for folder test) are renamend to the german word "Gesendet" for Sent. You can see that in the second screenshot. In the first screenshot you can see the name "Gesendet" which is locked against changes and the normal name of the folder is support in this case. I don't know, what has changed to yesterday. And as I'm using this feature intensivly, the "Gesendet" over all folders is quite annoying.

certains titres de ma messagerie sont en anglais pourquoi corbeille= trash envoyé = send etc....comment tout mettre en francais

Some of my email subject lines are in English, why is "corbeille" = trash, "envoie" = send, etc.? How can I change everything to French?

My Thunderbird calendar refuses to display dates in European format, namely day-month-year. I have read lots of helpful hints on the forums and tried everything, but nothing changes. My system is Ubuntu 25.04 with Cinnamon 6.4.8. Thunderbird version is 140.3.0esr (64-bit). Some of the suggestions refer to settings that are no longer there compared to earlier versions. For example, Settings > General > Language and Fonts has no format options. I have also used the config editor while TB was not running and added ntl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short and ntl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short, without any effect. Dates in the calendar still always appear in the illogical American month-day-year format. This is confusing, to say the least ! Has a solution been found to EASILY select the locale and formats that should be used? At the moment, the settings are under different menus and in different locations, and TB seems to be making it as difficult as possible to get these set - permanently ! - to the user's preference.

Hello Thunderbird supporters

This is a problem, because some faulty emails land in the folder "Junk", others in the folder "Spam". It is NOT possible to re-change these folders in german language. I don't know what's the cause for this changement - I didn't use a new source for my Thunderbird.

Thank you very much for your efforts

Kind regards Peter

Incoming mail (txt only; no html) is getting more and more unreadable the last weeks. It looks like in the attached screenshot. I am desperate. What can be the cause of this?

At the same time there are problems with outgoing mail. Characters like 9 or : do not appear on screen although I typed them. When I copy the text to another program, these characters do show. Very annoying. Hope there is a solution to be found somewhere!

Best, Mike

When typing messages with incorrect word, Thunderbird advises the error, but does not offer alternatives. This worked on my old PC, but not on newly installed version on new PC.

Thanks.

Hello Frustrating.. I live in UK and want Thunderbird to work in English English but it keeps changing back to Canadian. I have been in settings and added English English and made it the default but TB keeps changing the setting and making Canadian the active language. How do I stop it?
