Hello, When I return an e-mail, then I cannot send the mail , because I get the message: not the same encrypting . Then I am asked to solve the encrypting issue for my account ! How? Kind regards Sten.

Suddenly I am not receiving emails from my church and financial advisors (especially daily and weekly newsletters). They are NOT going into spam; I'm stumped. Appreciate your help.

Hi,

Where can I change in the settings the default Attachment Save(As) Folder / Directory. That Folder is also used by extract-em (for "save individual attachments"). On my installation it defaults to c:\user\myname\desktop but I can't find a way to change that location.

Another question : is there a way to disable the standard TB attachment Save(As) (shown at the bottom of a message) and replace it completely by extract-em ?

Thank you

I am on Thunderbird Flatpack version 115.5.1 and I want to transfer to Thunderbird for Android, how do I do that, please? I am running on Chromebook using the Linux partition. I have exported the profile to a zip file, but Thunderbird for Android won't read it. The zip file is 2.5GB so maybe it is too big. But I am not adept at Linux and I can't find my way to the profile files for a manual copy. When I go into Troubleshooting Information the Profile Directory - Open Directory button does nothing. Alonside it it says "(Lolcal drive)". Maybe I should upograde Thunderbird first, but how do I do that, please?

I have two accounts set up on Thunderbird. One new one with just the basic sub folders and an old one (no longer 'functional' due to failed service provider) which has many sub folders.

I have a multitude of filters on the old account directing incoming emails to appropriate sub folders and I want the same filters on the new account. Is there any way of just copying the old filters to the new account to save redoing each individual filter from scratch?

(Uptodate Thunderbird 144.0 (64-bit) on Win 10 desktop)

Any advice welcome Thank you

Jeg har skiftet adgangskoden til min mailkonto hos min udbyder. Jeg har angivet koden og opnået adgang til indgående post. Hvis jeg vil sende en mail nægtes afsendelse. Jeg bliver bedt om at angive den særlige kode for udgående post til asmpt server. Den anden kode virker ikke. Jeg skal have koden som giver adgang til at afsende post.

After the most recent Thunderbird update, the connection with my Gmail account has become inconsistent, sometimes taking more than a day for Gmail messages to appear in my Thunderbird Inbox. What has changed, and how do I fix the problem?

Hi, I've set up TB successfully on a new PC and been using it a while. Then I noticed my local folders archive group of subfolders was missing. I followed some instructions about moving local folders file across from the old to the new version.

Now I see the individual archive folders without the folder group name 'archive'.

Also, there are a couple of other files not visible on the new platform although they were in the original installation local files and were copied across.

I was careful to ensure the same version running on both PCs. Also that TB was closed when copying files across.

Any pointers appreciated!

A few days ago both my wife and my Thunderbird desktop programs quit downloading messages from Gmail. I have done everything I have found to do online, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird. Emails are available in Gmail. Please help.

I am using Thunderbird V144.0.1 on a computer running Windows 11 Home build 26100. Suddenly, Thunderbird stopped displaying some of my Local Folders. I don't know what I did to cause it; I don't recall making any changes. On investigating the issue, none of the other help I found in the forums or elsewhere on-line worked for me.

While performing one of the instructions, I was trying to copy my Thunderbird profile mail folder to a different location before creating a new profile. Copying the folder gave me an error of a file name being too long. I moved the folder with the too-long file into a different subfolder with a shorter directory name. Lo and behold, all of my folders, including the ones I moved, are now appearing in my Thunderbird Local Folders.

I don't really need any help, but I wanted to post this solution since I didn't encounter it anywhere else.

Hello, I hope I'm in the right subforum. I have the following problem.

In my system settings, Opera is set as the default browser, using the command "opera %U --lang=de."

Unfortunately (despite the system-wide setting), when I want to open an https link, Thunderbird still asks me which application I want to use. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, I can't select one from the application menu (where the corresponding command is stored in Opera). Instead, I have to search for and specify the application in the /usr/bin folder. This logically opens the link with the "opera" command and not with the "--lang=de" option. However, Thunderbird doesn't accept a desktop file under "Open with...", where you could add the option.

I've now created a shell file with the following content:

1. ! /bin/bash

opera %U --lang=de

This opens the browser as desired when I click the link, but only with the home page; the link isn't passed.

My question is, how would the command in the shell file need to be changed to open the link, or is there any way to get Thunderbird to open links with the command "opera %U --lang=de"?

Thank you.
