Hi

Last week we started having issues sending emails from our Thunderbird account (Optus email). When you go to press send we see a Add Security Exception pop up. When I click View we see the Issuer Name is DigiCert Inc. When I click Get Certificate it says No Information Available. We checked the SMTP setting with Optus today and they are correct.

Description: Optus Account Server Name: smtp.optusnet.com.au Port: 25 Connection Security: STARTTLS

If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Thanks Alysha

I've turned off threading in each of my Thunderbird mailboxes, however the print preview shows the entire thread! I don't want to print the entire thread, just the currently selected email. Is this a bug? Seems that way.

There are events that gmail can create within your google calendar based on emails. For instance calendar events created when you purchase plane tickets.

The events are useful. But I can't dismiss them in thunderbird. No matter how many times i hit dismiss and they come back to remind me constantly.

I don't want to stop getting these events, but I do want to dismiss them.

How do I do this?

Hi everyone, I have a fleet of machines running debian and I would like the Thunderbird setting "Allow antivirus clients to quarantine individual incoming messages" to be always enabled.

It doesn't appear to be supported by the policies.json method of setting it up.

Is there a way to enforce it?

I'm also aware of the option to create an user.js file in the profile folder with the content "user_pref("mailnews.downloadToTempFile", true);"

But this method requires to create the profile first and then know it's location. Is there a "profile template" that I can edit to set that preference how I need it?

Thank you in advance Lore

It seems like it may be possible to add "List View" to my Thunderbird calendar view selection options ( currently only: Day, Week, Multiweek, Month). "List View" is my preferred view in Outlook and Google calendars. I read that the "Lightning" extension needs to be installed on Thunderbird to allow List type calendar entry viewing. Lightening added nifty color coding options, but I still don't see a way to show my calendar entries in List View. I'm still a bit of a novice on Thunderbird controls and it seems like I may be overlooking something. Would anyone be good enough to offer a little help?

I have the problem that Thunderbird leaves the "Status" of a newly created event as "Not specified". This causes events to automatically be marked as "Tentative" when I edit them on another device/app, to which in turn they will be displayed darker in Thunderbird.

Since the process of changing the status of an event is not exactly fast and easy in Thunderbird (Double click > Edit > Options > Status > Confirmed > Save and Close), I am looking for a way to automatically mark events I create as "Confirmed". I don't use attendees or anything. I just want to organize my reminders.

I can't find anything about this on the forum or the internet in general, so any help or different solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!
