My TB hangs when sending emails from outlook when it gets to the "Creating a copy to sent messages" option. However, obviously it's taken care of by the outlook server so I have no need for this. The solution is to stop it sending messages automatically... But when I try, the options are greyed out and cannot be unchecked. https://i.imgur.com/nD6eAeR.png
Any idea what options to change?

I'm having a problem w/my TB email and hoping someone can help me. There is an organization that's been sending me a daily email for about 4 yrs now and I want to keep rec'ing these. Approx a wk ago they stopped coming through. The org (www.dailylectionary.org) says the problem is not w/them. My internet server (Bell Aliant) says that the problem is not w/them. These are not going to my "junk" folder. I've no idea why they would suddenly stop. I am a VERY "low tech" person. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

This all started after outlook.live.com "disappeared" my sent items folder:
1) as stated above, everything in my "Sent Items" folder disappeared from outlook.live.com. I found this out using outlook.live.com via my Firefox browser. 2) I knew that I had not used Thunderbird in a little while, so I did a MozBackup of my local Thunderbird folders, created a new profile, and intended to use that profile in cases where I needed something from my old Sent Items history.
The new profile is labeled "tf0uz6a7.Restore of Lost Send Items" under: AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles 3) In order to access the data, I use the command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -p
After running the command, I specify the alternate profile AND to work offline.
Every time I do so, Thunderbird asks whether I want to compact the folders. If I answer yes then when the compacting is done, Thunderbird restarts in online mode. Since the account information is still stored in the new profile, Thunderbird immediately starts synchronizing the new profile and therefore deletes the Sent Items under the new profile.
Hope that all makes sense. My only work-around is to always answer no then Thunderbird asks me about compacting folders.
Which of multiple headers in a message does a Thunderbird filter property check?

I am making filters which have a property based on a `X-Original-To`, a header of the email message. It is straightforward to create a Thunderbird message filter on the value of this header (e.g. take action when `X-Original-To` header begins with 'list+'). However, the behaviour of the filter is confusing when the message has multiple `X-Original-To` headers. I can't find anything which tells whether Thunderbird applies the filter to the first matching header, or to the last, or any arbitrary-chosen matching header, or what.
The `X-Original-To` header is not built in to the Thunderbird UI, but I think that is not material. Most email messages I have seen have multiple `Received` headers. How does a Thunderbird message filter property testing the `Received` header behave?
I expect there to be documentation stating what correct behaviour of a Thunderbird filter is. I cannot find such documentation. In fact the only documentation on filters I have found is "Organize Your Messages by Using Filters" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/organize-your-messages-using-filters). Is there documentation I am missing?
From observation, I suspect that Thunderbird applies the filter property only to the final occurrence of a header in a message, and ignores any previous occurrences of that header in that message. The insight here is, if a filter property on a message header just _is not_ behaving as expected, check if your message has multiple occurrence of that header, and if you are seeing only the first one. Maybe the filter property is in fact operating as expected, but on the final occurrence.
Is there any Thunderbird UI to control which of multiple occurrences a filter property checks? Is there a way to make it check the first occurrence, instead of the last?
When my filter misbehaves, I do not see an entry in the Filter Log describing how that fllter tested against that message. The Filter Log only seems to get messages when a filter property matches against a message. This is unhelpful when diagnosing a problem of a filter _not_ matching. I expect log entries for failed matches also, though I recognise that would get very verbose very quickly. A message when a filter finds multiple occurrences of a header it is testing would be very helpful. Is there a way to make the Filter Log describe failed matches?
My primary questions are, which of multiple headers in a message does a Thunderbird filter property check? Where should a Thunderbird user discover this answer when setting up their filters?

I use Windows 10 Pro and Tbird ver. 68.1.0 (64-bit). Help> About Tbird says I'm up to date yet every morning I get a small window that asks me if I would like to update Tbird. Why is this if I'm up-to-date? Second, I tried the update and the update opened as a new install w/o incorporating anything such as my existing sent messages, trash, contacts and most importantly my local folders. How best to handle this if in fact it really is a update?
Thanks.

Any chance to adjust the font size EVERYWHERE in this ridiciously shrinked layout of Thunderbird 68.1.0? Theme Font & Size Changer is to no avail anymore.
Sorry, but what the heck happened? You removed css, so layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is gone, too.

I get frequent messages saying that a security patch is unable to update Thunderbird. I have tried updating from the website as suggested which took me through a new install wizard on the machine. I cancelled the wizard and now am unable to copy pictures from Windows Explorer to a new mail in Thunderbird without invoking the new unsetup version of Thunderbird. Can I rectify the problem without saving the profiles and starting again with a deinstall of everything and reinstall?

This problem suddenly appeared and it appears to be only with gmail. It can take 1/2 minutes to connect to the the gmail server. Then new mail appears. If sending a message it can take 1/2 minutes to put it into Sent mail. I have a yahoo account that doesn't have these problems. Apple Mail also has no problems with gmail. I had no idea how to address this so I reinstalled Thunderbird (68.2) with crossed fingers. The problems persist and I lost the contents of my Personal Address Book. Help please?

I have installed Hmailserver in one of the computers in the LAN network. Also installed Wampserver so that other users can reach to this particular computer.
Created a local domain inside Hmailserver.
Now, using manual setup I can connect most of the Thunderbird users to the domain and they can exchange mails properly.
However, for some thunderbird users given the same manual setup, thunderbird not able to find the settings.
I have attached Hmailserver diagnostics report and thunderbird messages. You can see that, for the same setting it is behaving differently in different computer.
Please let me know if any further information is required.
P.S. I have tried different versions of thunderbird but not worked so far.
Cannot connect with IMAP externally

I have configured a Windows 10 pc running thunderbird and a Pixel XL 2 using the default mail app to access my email server (running on a LAN) and both are setup, as far as i can tell, identically (URLs, Ports, Usernames and passwords). Both connect happily using IMAP (using StartTLS) when on an internal network (not the same subet as the email server). However, when connecting externally the phone connects using IMAP fine, however the PC says it cannot connect to IMAP.
I can see the connections coming in on the router are being forwarded to the mail server, I have created firewall rules (Windows and Router) that allow IMAP connections (and NAT traversal).
It is curious that the phone works fine externally and both work fine internally (so it cant be username/password issues)...any ideas what else I need to look at? Is there a detailed logging option in Thunderbird, so I can see where the process seems to fall-down?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have an SMTP sending Password not recognised issue with setting up Thunderbird account. I have worked through solution docs on the web support in this regard to no avail. All my server config settings with my ISP are correct and Thunderbird is fully authorized through Windows defender . Here is what happens and how I have been able to get it to work (after many trial and error attempts in getting Thunderbird to work on 20 x Windows 10 tablets) Installing Thunderbird 68.1.0 and configuring pop3 and smtp account settings always fails smtp password validation - email can be received but not sent. Uninstalling Thunderbird, deleting system User app data, rebooting and reinstalling the same version (Thunderbird 68.1.0) and recreating email account does not resolve the issue. Installing the latest install package Thunderbird 68.1.2 results in precisely the same failure… However if once I have installed the later 68.1.2 package, with a configured email account (which fails to send) then uninstall 68.1.2, and then reboot and reinstall the earlier install package 68.1.0 – immediately before the configuring email account window pops up - the message is presented that “a more recent profile version exists, … do you want to set up an earlier version profile (note - not verbatim here) and if choose yes (choose to accept an earlier version profile), then when I configure the email account Thunderbird sends and receives ok. Once sending email is working ok, the subsequent automatic online update that Thunderbird does itself does not break the successful settings. …It has taken many hours to get this to work since all the online help solutions presented have not solved it. Can anyone tell me if I am missing something here and could there be an easier (quicker) way through this smtp config perplexity?
