Thunderbird Community Forum

I sent out an E-mail invitation to some thirty friends. The E-mail had the invitation attached. Of those, perhaps fifteen (one half+/-) were received. What went wrong? If I did something wrong, what was it so I don't do it again. Thank you for your help. John La Farge

Hi, I am Div, and I have a large number of EML files which I want to send to Thunderbird. Can anyone tell me the best ways?? I know the manual method, but it didn't work out for me because I want my files to be imported safely in bulk, as it is my daily work. I want a reliable solution. Will be really thankful if someone suggests a safe and quick solution.

Thunderbird 140.6.0esr (64-bit) does not highlight the open message in the list. There is no indication of which message in the list I'm currently viewing, the it used to be. I like to have that instant recognition.

The File (saving to a folder) Recent function used to have the folders alphabetically. Some genius thought to reorganize the Recent folders to be in chronological order. Is there a setting to have the Recent folders be in alphabetical order again? I could not find anything. Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird: My cat jumped on my keyboard while I was using Thunderbird, and, now I have every email I have in my Inbox opened about 50 times each, and each one in a separate tab.

I can delete the message and it closes the open tabs, but I would like to keep the open messages, just not have ten million copies of it open in a separate tab at the top of Thunderbird.

Is there any way to close all of the tabs without deleting each message?

Thank you.

I've had an Email account with outlook.com for years using Thunderbird. 2 days ago, Outlook forced me to change my password to login using a webbrowser. I changed the account password in Thunderbird and now I can't login. No matter what I try (and the experimental account setup is disabled), I simply get a pop-up window I guess from Outlook stating it can't log me in because cookies are disabled. I don't know which browser this pop-up is trying to use. I've got 3 web browsers (firefox, brave, librefox) on this linux mint PC. I have enabled all cookies in all 3 browsers, but the same error message occurs.

I'm using Thunderbird 140.5.0esr (64-bit) and it worked just fine until the password change. I have deleted all accounts in Thunderbird now and am trying to add my primary outlook account back. This is beyond frustrating. Hoping somebody can help.

My inbox has more than 46.000 mails, maybe this is too much. Still, cannot move some mails to my archive. So I need urgently help! My mail is [edited from public support forum] @gmx.net I am willing to call somebody. I am alxo willing to contribute some amount. best regards Gottfried Scheiwein

I used to use the basic version of Thunderbird on a daily basis, but after a while it became buggy and didn't work properly. I've been using Thunderbird beta for 3 months now. I had to take a break from work because I need to add multiple Outlook emails to Thunderbird online for one thing. I've been doing the same thing for three days now, adding emails to receive notifications about shipments ready for pickup. After adding 2 to 5 accounts, a message pops up saying that my data is incorrect, but it is 100% correct. When I try again, an exchange error pops up, and when I check through my regular browser, I can log in and check my mailbox normally, but it does not connect to Thunderbird beta or Thunderbird daily. And so, for 3 days, I added 2 to 5 accounts correctly, and then finally, no account wants to be added. I checked that Thunderbird has no limit, I saw about 300 accounts per day, but the accounts I'm doing are a ridiculous limit and I have some problem with the application, and before I used it the same way I do now and had no problems. Thunderbird Daily works just as badly, no works from 2 to 5 accounts, then an error pops up. What's going on with this???!?!

I use a private email server (mail.ragan.us. I have set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22 with the same email server settings I use on Outlook in Win 10 and Apple Mail on IOS 26 which both work fine. I created the account in Thunderbird and it showed success. When I try to get mail for gary@ragan.us,Thunderbird shows connected to mail.ragan.us, but will not download mail from that server. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm using Thunderbird 140.6.0esr under 64-bit LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) v6.0, fully up to date with patches.

Last night, Thunderbird was working justfine when I switched the PC off. This morning, when I try to collect mail, I get a dialog box with the message

Unable to write the e-mail to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

I have multiple Terabytes free on the drive, and I have gone through a full file listing and checked all the file attributes. Yes, I have write access.

Just to be sure, I ran a chown against the entire ~/thunderbird directory (~/.thunderbird is a logical link) so I own ~/thunderbird and everything beneath.

I also ran a fsck on the drive, and fsck gave it a clean bill of health - no errors reported. This was just a normal fsck, not including a badblocks check, although I did run badblocks against the drive when I got it new, about two months ago.

I am out of ideas. I suppose I could try running TB with a sudo, but I'm not really happy with doing that routinely.

Does anybody have any ideas? . Thanks,

Brian.

Of course there is no category for general concerns, so category choice is wrong by default, sorry about that.

The recent "year in review" included this attached bit. Does that mean that the Mozilla foundation is deciding to not allocate any of their overall revenue to Thunderbird and rely solely on user donations for it? If so, why does it own/manage Thunderbird? To me the entire purpose of an entity like Mozilla managing a project like Thunderbird is like most companies, to be able to allocate extra revenue from more lucrative projects to ones that are less so. Seems that the userbase of a project you own doesn't matter, money^s somehow better allocated to stuff that nobody asked for?

Bonjour,

J'envoie, depuis une mailing liste d'OVH, un mail présentant l'aspect suivant : une image encadrée (cf: PJ) Lorsque je le réceptionne avec Thunderbird, seule l'image apparait (cf: PJ)

Le code source de cette dernière montre que le code html du cadrage est présent. Un réglage bloque la lecture de l'html ?

Que se passe-t-il ? Merci de votre aide.

I am able to receive but not send messages. I get an error (photo included), sometimes it asks me to sign in again and then the error appears.

When I send an email the recipient receives lots of information above the email. It seems to show all the security paths the email has gone through. It goes on and on. I have gone in to View and set Headers to Normal. But doesn't really work. If I Forward an email again all the information appears that the recipient does not need to know. HELP! If I delete the information I get rows and rows of lines.
