Thunderbird Support Forum

In the previous version I was using, when a new email arrives and is automatically moved to a custom local folder, that custom local folder name was appearing in bold letters and BLUE color.

The folder I am referring to is the "mother" folder and inside that "mother" folder there are sub-folders. The "mother" folder was coloring in blue when a new email arrived.

Now with version 115 this feature is lost, the custom folder name that receives a new email now appears in bold letters BUT BLACK colour.

I have something like 1234 custom local folders, some folders contain emails that I have read but I am keeping that email as unread because it requires an action (like a "to do" email). These folder in the previous version of thunderbird were appearing in black color while new emails (that I actually never read) that were sent to a custom folder, that custom folder was apperaing in blue.

This color differentiation was helping me by immediately recognizing folder that contains new emails from foldars that contains not-new-but-unread emails

How can I do to make a custom folder appearing of bold letters and blue color when it receive a new email?

My Thunderbird can send mail but cannot receive any. I have tried many times from another e-mail account but they never appear in the in-box . I have checked my settings and they seem okay. I use Imap for the incoming messages (but there are not any)

In 'Account Settings,' I have my gmail-address listed. I only want my OWL connection to my outlook account. I suspect that having both explains why I have two inboxes and multiple Local Folders with messages ending up anywhere. How could I streamline my Thunderbird account again?

I only want the connection to my Outlook email address.

I tried deleting the gmail link without success.

With thanks for your help, Ulrike

Good Day, Thank you kindly for the excellent Thunderbird software. Would you be so kind and help me with this: due to the overloaded/delayed computer I by mistake i clicked "Dismiss" on an unknown Reminder on the reminders list. Is there any means to check what Reminder was dismissed? Any help greatly appreciated :) Kind Regards and have a nice day.

Hi,

after update to v115, my filters won't work as before also I get message (error) that there is no space on disk (when messages are filtered) - but its more than 100GB available

and after repair inbox folder messages shows up again (if filter have move to another folder option)

please help? or Thunderbird bug

best, A

on a PC running TB v102, my simple html email footer includes an image (in the same folder) the image loads in to new emails fine,

however a PC running latest TB v115, the same html file & image, does not load the image into new emails, just blank rectangle (viewing the html file in a browser does work)

Any thoughts ?

I have noticed that in the last 4-5 weeks message filters are not being correctly triggered as email comes in and manual execution of rules works in specific folders (to get rid of "junk/troll" email. This should have been auto run upon fetch of email.

This has resulted in slow updates of display (subject line) for email being previewed in IN BOX. I have emails in my IN Box that should have been put in specific folders. Each of these has a retention period. I have tried running the "Repair Folder" script(?), but that does not solve the slow update of the subject line to match the email being looked at in preview, or the rules running upon fetch of email.

Currently running TB 115.2.0 (64-bit).

Have updated to 115.2.0 (64-bit).

Randomly when getting email, in the select panel (where I can click on an email for it to display in the preview panel or become a new window) the subject line is for a prior email when the email selected shows in the preview. And this problem is pretty much repeatable.

I have run the Repair Folder script(?) and no joy. However, it seems to be some slowness in updating because I've noticed that it will correct itself in 1-3 minutes.

Also, I have auto delete for my inbox and it is showing 10039 emails, but apparently I'm getting lots of emails that the filters are not working on. This is another problem.....

In doing searches, I see where something like this was occurring last year (2022) before the current updates existed.

Let me know what captures you want run for this, if any.

Since TB 115, I have issues with the "invite" functionality of Lightning, as follows.

It generates errors as follows:

• "invite" does not work. I can add emails to be invited to an event, but the invite is then not sent at least with the option "notify" + "send individual mail" (other alternatives such as open visible list of destinatories are not feasible due to privacy)

• when opening an "event" from the calendar, it displays in a full-screen format (see screenshot_2) that lists all invited attendees

• The "invite attendees" window works but has a strange pink block on top right (see screenshot_3)

• the page where the format of sending ("notify", "send individual mails") is not accessible any more

Currently the calendar as such works fine. But the "invite" function is critical for the use I am giving as transnational NGO to invite to meetings etc. All worked fine with previous TB versions.

System config: WIN10 prof, all updates installed, fully licensed, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X etc. (mid-end system built in 2022).

Thanks for looking into a solution.

[Thunderbird 115 on Ubuntu 20.04, KDE/Plasma 5.18]

In my previous version of Thunderbird (possibly 70+?) I had a menu bar (with "File", "Edit", etc) that also included some icons with functions such as "write", "search", and similar, that I used frequently. To be honest I don't remember if this could be achieved simply by "Customize..." or with some add-on.

Now in TB 115 there's a separate menu bar and a "unified" toolbar where those icons have been moved. Is there any way to move those icons & functions back to the menu bar, and remove the unified toolbar? Or vice versa: move the menu in the unified toolbar. It's a pity with the waste of vertical space.

I know that the unified toolbar has a sort of menu ("hamburger menu", the three horizontal bars, on the right), but this menu is not as convenient as the menu bar, which for example has an "Edit" menu, which I don't find in the "hamburger menu".

Cheers!

I am using Thunderbird 115.2.3 (32-bit) although this problem began yesterday before I updated to this latest version (which I hoped would fix the issue but it didn't). My operating system is Windows 10 Pro on which I just verified that I have all of its updates.

Supernova has been great until now. Beginning suddenly yesterday and without any setting changes on my part, the Calendar would no longer send out invitations to any other email addresses. The overall behavior is extremely odd.

First, upon entering individual addresses, notice how not only does that address now repeat itself (the two Gmail addresses which are my personal account there) but also that blank lines are inserted below. It never did that before yesterday.

Then, upon sending the invitation, shown in my Sent folder is a very odd "Accepted" message instead of the usual copy of the invitation. Because of what happens next, let me again stress that this shows up almost immediately in my Sent folder.

A few moments later, I receive an "Accepted" message in my Inbox that is an exact duplicate of what previously showed up in Sent. However, I never took such action nor did the invitation ever show up in either my Gmail or, in the case of the second screenshot, my Zoho account which I added to be certain that this wasn't just some weirdness being caused by Google.

I will be glad to provide any other information that might help diagnose this issue.

I've tried several things and yet outgoing server just times out mail.twc.com is used with windows mail without trouble. I've used thunderbird and only had this happened on my new computer running windows 11

my Thunderbird automatically updated on Wednesday: 'Version 115.2.3, first offered to channel users on September 20, 2023'. I have just received my 1st email with an attachment but the buttons that were previously displayed permitting me to save the attachment are no longer there - so I can't download attachments.

This applies to all previous emails received with attachments not just today's one. The attachment is there and downloadable on webmail but not when it reaches my Thunderbird client.

What has happened please, and how do I access attachments?

Thanks - Anthony Rae

Updated Mac to Supernova 115.2.3 (64-bit). Calendar appears empty -- no data. Searched for solutions to no avail.

Added screenshot of [ Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder > calendar-data ] below.

Please help.

Hello, The latest version of Thunderbird is now automatically spamming many of my emails that are not spam. When I unspam them those emails are being deleted for ever and I can't read them. The systems message indicates they are being rerturned to Inbox, but they are being permanently deleted instead. How can I stop this? Thankyou for your attention. Stuart Amyes

Hi,

I've got a sticky problem which occurred when using Migration Assistant to move data from my Mac Pro Mid-2012 desktop (OS 10.13.6) to my recently bought used Mac Pro Destktop 2019 *(Ventura 13.5.2). After 6 hours or so of transference, it seemed to hang at ("About 5 minutes remaining...") so I quit, not noticing any warnings about not doing that or else.

What happened was I seemed to have lost Thunderbird Mail files (Ver. 102.15.1 64-bit) from the Mid-2012 MP and there were none showing in the target Mid-2012.

So I'm wondering if the files are truly lost or hidden/recoverable somewhere? I made a Time Machine back up in the Mid-2012 shortly before I did this, but don't know how to move just the Thunderbird files to the Mid-2012 safely.

Anyone had the same problem or have any clues as to how to resolve this?

Kind thanks in advance,

T
