Thunderbird Support Forum

Greetings:

The attendees I select are not receiving their invites to my calendar events. My version of TB is 102.6.0. All other TB functionality works fine...just not sent invites. I'm using TB on my Windows 11 Home edition desktop.There are no error messages seen or any other indication that invites are not being sent other then people telling me they are not receiving them.

Love this product, just started using it this year...robust & flexible interface. Please let me know what I can add to my information to help assist in what might be wrong with my config/setup.

Thanks in advance & God's peace

I have no usable Menu options at the top of the Thunderbird email screen. I hit a wrong key yesterday and things such as Write, Reply, Print, Send, Delete, Junk, etc. have disappeared. I read some possible things to help but I do not have III on the upper right of my screen and pressing Alt when opening Thunderbird also does not work. HELP!

TB 102.10.0, Outlook 2010: Imported mail message (local) folders: At least one folder is incorrectly indexed (dozens of similar messages are all indexed as same subject line and same time and date). How do I either re-index or re-import? (Incomplete check of folders show same number of messages in Outlook and TB in all I checked.)

Accounts are all IMAP, and of course online messages are okay.

When I click on theThunderbird icon to check my email, it says “Enter your password for ricc (the first part of my email) on imap shaw.ca” but don;t know what it is. I phoned my ISP, but they just said contact Thunderbird. So can you please help?

I've used Thunderbird (TB) for years and have never been asked for a password until about two weeks ago. Tb is now contually requesting password but it won't accept or save them. I've uninstalled my TB program and reinstalled the latest, but the problem still persists. I've now got emails on the virginmedia server that I can't download to TB. I'm an 89 year old and am at my withs end. I use Windows 11, Tb and Virgin Media as my ISP. Please is ther some one out there who can solve this proble?

I am on Linux mint 21.1 Cinnamon and using Thunderbird 102.11.0. I saw the current version of Thunderbird on their official website is 102.11.2. I didn't get the update yet. So, how can I get the update automatically to use the latest version of Thunderbird on Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon ? Thanks in advance and awaiting to have a good feedback.

I lost the entire "INBOX" (and other sub-catagories) after an automatic download/install of Thunderbird v. 102.11.2

There is now an empty INBOX and .msf associated with Thunderbird appearing in the directory, however, the INBOX still does not appear in the T-Bird program screen (see attached screenshot).

Although I am not panicking, there is a message in the bar at the bottom left hand corner of the T-Bird form stating " "Could Not Detect Login Form".

This now beyond my amateur troubleshooting capabilities. Any suggestions regarding rebuilding or location a Login Form? Thanks in advance for the assist!

I sent an E-mail from my account using Thunderbird 102, signed and with added public key but not encrypted. I inspected this mail in the mail server account of the recipient. It contains two attachments: 1) An openPGP asc file which contains the key ID in the name. When opened it shows my ASCII armoured public key. 2) A .sig file: "OpenPGP_signature.sig" When I inspect the same mail in the Thunderbird program of the recipient, it possesses only the first attachment. The sig file is missing. When I try to decrypt or verify the .sig file using Kleopatra or using GpgEX from the Windows Explorer menu, I get error messages like „Signaturfile invalid“ or „input/output error“.

How can I check the validity of the sig file or better, how can I open it to see the complete clear text and decrypt the encrypted part ?

I would be grateful for infos or links to answer my questions ! Sincerely WW

Hello, I'm using TB on Ubuntu to get my emails from Gmail (French localization) I have very often an error message when sending email , impossible to copy the message into sent folder... because of the "é" in "Message envoyés" It is very annoying and does not occurs (I think) in my windows versions of TB How to fix that? thank you

Hi,

Lately I am experiencing slow performance in Mozilla Thunderbird. When I open a folder it takes a while before the folder is opened. In the left lower corner I see a message appearing opening folder and the Tab where the name of the folder is shown I see a point moving from left to right and back. It takes a while before this disappears. This was not like this before.

I am running: MacOS Montery 12.6.6 Mozilla Thunderbird: 102.12.0 64 bit I am using IMAPS to connect to Google Mail: imap.gmail.com port 993, SSL/TLS, oAuth2

Also on my IOS mail I am experiencing slow performance.

On the Mac I have removed endpoint protection but this didn't help. I also created a support ticket at Google Support. I have done a network test and performance is fine. No issues with other applications.

Looking forward hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Rob

inbox displays the subject and date only of new emails ie NO message is shown nor any activity eg delete, forward etc. Double click on email and it is displayed in a new window

Does or will Thunderbird provide capability for Contact Group Lists and Contact Sub-Folders as does Microsoft Outlook, which I am looking to replace? Thanks in advance.

I have just read that TB's policy is to delete messages in the trash after a certain amount of time.

I'm not sure what policy they follow for this, as the Activity Manager says "Deleted 1 message fom Trash", but does not let you know what msge was deleted. When I look at my trash, I can see I have things from YEARS ago, so I'm wondering what they follow to have things deleted.

However, in the end, I don't really like that TB deletes things even in my trash. I get this is to save space, but I personally do not care about space, and I use my emails like a database where I have saved myself from looking back into my trash and remembering something I failed to do for instance. Or even something I accidentally deleted and found it again.

Anyway, The fact that there is a setting in Account Settings -> Synchronization & Storage -> Do not delete any messages and TB still deletes the trash it its own discretion sucks.

I love TB and want to use it forever. Is there a place I can voice this to them and ask they provide an options to not deleted anything on any folders. Or maybe prompt to delete something first, show us what that email is.

I get I can create another folder, but I'm much happier just hitting the delete button, but know that this email will linger somewhere in another folder...

Thanks for reading

The one big problem I have regularly with Thunderbird is losing important messages because they are hidden away in a thread. Even if I have marked them with a star this doesn't help them to be visible in my inbox. Instead I am having to guess at a suitable search term to find these messages (often support from Email addresses I do not normally correspond with). I realise I can (in theory) switch threading off (although this didn't seem to actually work for me), but I otherwise like the feature - once I have found the message, it's great to see the thread.

I would like to be able to show threads in a different colour to make them stand out in my mailbox - I realise there is a small grey symbol against threads, but this isn't very visible and doesn't seem to help.

One other possibility that might be even better, is to expand threads with unread messages, but I couldn't see a way to do this either.

Similar to an earlier post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1398079), I have been using TB to connect to yahoo accounts without issue for years, but about a month ago one of two yahoo email accounts failed. Since one of the accounts still works without issue, not clear what's going on?

Ubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit)

I think perhaps it's the email account add / configuration step for several reasons. Let's call the account that works "A" and the not-working broken account "B". Early on, I deleted the "B" account and have since been trying to get this to work again. During the "add account" step, I've let TB configure automatically, which yields the same server info as "A", so I don't think that's an issue; The settings that show up when attempting to add "B" (same as "A") are in a screenshot. After you click "Done", there's a pop up to get Yahoo's password. I enter this, then click yes to the agreement, and *immediately* get the authentication error (another screenshot). The speed of this error is what has me suspicious. It made me think some local files somehow have incorrect info. I tried clearing history ("everything") and restarting, but same story.

Unfortunately, the earlier question doesn't have an answer. Any more clues about this?

Thanks in advance

Please Help Need Authorization for debora@reprographicsupply.com emails to forward to our Thunderbird software, Microsoft/Outlook.office365 not responding. This morning all 5 of our emails did not work. I called godaddy (domain held with them) They had me login to godaddy & reset all 5 email accounts passwords. Then sent me back to outlook.office.com to try to login each address. It was successful. Then we went to my Thunderbird app (on Windows PC) than server settings for each email address & change Authorization to: OAuth2 Meanwhile, you sent a popup window for debora@reprographicsupply.com to RE:Authorize forwarding the emails from MICROSOFT OUTLOOK.OFFICE365 BUT!! GODADDY TECH said ignore the popup window and cancel it. Oops, I did just that. Then she had me reboot Thunderbird & the computer. Then went back into Thunderbird & the popup window appeared again for authorizing ONLY emails to be forwarded for info, dwayne, sheila, chris but NOT debora. Info, dwayne, sheila, chris are now receiving emails in Thunderbird But Not debora. Debora can send emails from Thunderbird but cannot receive emails into Thunderbird all because the Microsoft Outlook.office365 authorization popup window no long pops up: therefore, it would be appreciated

if you can get Microsoft/Outlook.Office365 people to email info@reprographicsupply.com a request on our behalf, so we can authorize debora@reprographicsupply.com emails be forwarded to our Thunderbird software. We get no response from Microsoft.

Thank you Debora Dunn [phone# removed from public]

I need to open Thunderbird in hidden mode. I have tried various methods but none worked. I have write vba script: Dim WShell Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WShell.Run """" & "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" & """", 0 Set WShell = Nothing

I have tried PowerShell: Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"

And even the shortcut doesn't work when you select to run in minimized form.

TBird v102.12.0, 32bit, WIn7Ent.

Just started this morning, I'm getting the following error on one POP3 account:

The stat command did not succeed error getting message number and sizes mail server outlook.office.365.com responded server unavailable 21

This is happening only in TBird--I can get that account's email via my iPhone's built in email app--and it is happening on multiple PCs that are similarly configured.

I have multiple accounts set up on office365 (via GoDaddy). Others are working fine with the same settings.

What I have done so far, with no joy:

I have successfully logged into Office365 directly

I have regressed to an earlier version of TBird.

I have deleted and recreated the problem account (which required resetting the password). The deletion/recreation succeeded, but email will still not download for that account.

I prefer not to use IMAP.
