The only answer on your board to my question does not work on my T-bird email program and I assume other users have the same problem. Does anyone have an answer that actually solves the problem of being unable to email a message that has been edited in draft, is in the drafts folder, and is ready to send?

With the last automatic upgrade of Thunderbird the Afrikaans Spell-checker disappeared. When I wanted to re-install it as an add-on, Thunderbird tell me it cannot be done because it is not compatible with the new version. This is a real pity, so I would appreciate it if one of you clever people out there could resolve this?

Hi,
After I switched email account from POP to IMAP, whenever I disconnect from Internet, the error message "Could not connect to mail server" popups in the bottom right corner, this is very annoying since I know I'm disconnected, I don't need Thunderbird to tell me every time, how can I hide this error message? I don't remember this happens with POP, but it happens every time with IMAP.
Thanks.

When I click on the icon, Thuderbird won't launch. It is running because when I tried to unistall it, I got a message saying that Thunderbird needed to be closed. Then when I opened the task menu I saw that two instances of Thunderbird was running. Even after trying to open it in safe mode and selecting disabling add-ons, it won't launch although it is running in the back ground. This started after the most recent update a few days ago.

I try to delete an obsolete contact. I deleted the contact in all the address books and verified that the contact is gone. However, the contact reappears after sometime, in the address book that I removed it. Apparently the address book is the one of the collected email addresses. It seems that the address book keep updating all the email address found in the inbox although the email address is never been used again. Is there a way to solve the problem? This problem is annoying because the obsolete contact appears in the auto complete list and I may have sent an email to the wrong contact. Thanks in advance for your response.
Can't attach xls file to TB email in Linux Mint

My TB only allows me to insert the following file types: Image, Table, Link, Named Anchor, Horizontal Line, HTML, Maths Formula, Characters & Symbols, Table of Contents and Break Below Images. If I click on 'Preferences' then 'Attachments', then I get a page with 'Incoming' and 'Outgoing'. Incoming has Images & PDF files allowed, but no xls and won't allow me to add them. Outgoing offers to share files larger than 5 mb or what ever, and will add a new Filelink storage service. None of that helps me as all I want to do is to be able to also attach spread sheets and PDF files as well as images to my emails.
Please help, it's driving me crazy! Many thanks, Rolly
A LONG message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com timed out.
Sending short messages is no problem. The problem occurs when I send long messages or long attachment.

NOTE: This is with Thunderbird 60 on Windows
Our department receives artwork submissions to a single address, and we need to autorespond to messages. I set up a message filter to autorespond to messages with a template. All our clients have a single X-SMTPAPI header added in for our mailserver. However, when the mail server receives the message, there is all this added plaintext header garbage added to the top of the body of EVERY email (some sensitive info REDACTED):
From - Wed Aug 08 09:11:36 2018 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 01000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: FCC: mailbox://REDACTED@REDACTED/Sent X-Identity-Key: id3 X-Account-Key: account5 From: Bench Craft Art Department Subject: Email received X-Smtpapi: {REDACTED CODE} Message-ID: <5e414994-fa7d-143d-4b52-fc633252a36e@REDACTED.com> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 09:11:36 -0700 X-Mozilla-Draft-Info: internal/draft; vcard=0; receipt=0; DSN=0; uuencode=0; attachmentreminder=0; deliveryformat=4 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/60.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Language: en-US Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sending a normal email from that account shows up normally. Sending an email with the template manually shows up normally. This ONLY happens when autoresponding with a template using the Message Filters.
I've tried creating a new profile and starting from scratch. I tried setting up a new email account with different address. I've tried setting up a new identity. I've tried setting a different default Templates folder location. Why is this happening? How can I fix it? This is completely baffling me.

It's been nearly a year I think. A good six months, at any rate.
I filed a case on it about 3 months ago, but the "My Questions" list doesn't show it.
At the time, I was treated to an entire digest of how I was supposed to examine 100 tasks going on in my system to see if one of them was causing memory problems... As if!
But here's the thing:
1. NO OTHER PROGRAM ON MY SYSTEM experiences the kind of stalls that Tbird sees,
and they are all laboring under the same constraints.
2. TBIRD STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A MESSAGE -- TWO OR THREE TIMES, in some cases.
That is a simple inability to grasp the concept of MULTI-TASKING in software.
Background processes can stall all they want. Foreground processes should NEVER see them.
3. TBIRD DOES NOT DOWNLOAD MESSAGES UNLESS AND UNTIL I AM USING IT.
I can have it open on the desktop for as long as I want. But once I click in it, THEN I see the
"downloading messages" alert. That too is a SIMPLE FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND MULTI-TASKING.
If the program is running, it should have been downloading things in the background--not
wait until I am attempting to use it to DO something.
4. TBIRD SUPPORT APPARENTLY BELIEVES IT IS BEST TO BLAME THE USER.
Again, a simple failure to understand the concept of multi-tasking is the root cause of the
problems I have been experiencing. But reporting the issue did no good whatsoever.
Instead, I was supposed to spend a day diagnosing memory issues -- "issues" that DO NOT
AFFECT ANY OTHER PROGRAM on my computer.
So I gave up. I moved to Outlook. Sure enough, no stalls. Big relief. I have my inbox set up, and just imported my contacts. That just leaves a few years' worth of old messages I wish I could transfer. So I'll keep TBird installed, just to access those old messages, when I need them.
But as for daily use, no. It's history. I write this message to explain why, in hopes that someone will learn from it.

i've noticed a problem when viewing an inbound email containing an image with a link property. the problem occurs when the viewing window is too narrow to contain the entire image.
(i'm using thunderbird 60.3 on windows 7 pro with latest microsoft updates.)
[a] when viewing the email in window that's too narrow to contain the image... thunderbird automatically downsizes the image to fit the window width. in this case, clicking on the image toggles between the downsized and full-size image. this renders the image's link inoperative.
[b] when viewing the email in window that's wide enough to contain the image... clicking on the image performs the intended action by opening the link in a browser window.
(this problem is easily reproduced by sending yourself an email like the one described, and after it's received and opened changing the width of the viewing window.)
any suggestions for what the email sender can do to correct this problem?

Sometime back I began having a display problem that was NEVER solved. Old thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1119997
Fast forward to today. There was an upgrade and this is what I see. I can't even read the pulldown menus.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried starting in safe mode.
What can I do? I have too much valuable mail saved in Thunderbird to just give up on it.

Has a secure ATT secure mail key solved the random failure to download email to TB for anyone? The error message spoke of server settings not passwords

I have had two ATT email accounts for 5 - 10 years. There have been random sending and downloading problems since Yahoo got involved, but they usually just stop. Today one account stopped downloading messages after working fine for several hours, and I can still send mail from that account. The other has had no problem.
There is a thread for that points to replacing your old password with ATT's "secure mail key" to solve this problem, but those people report an error message referring to password problems. I can no longer get my error message but it referenced server settings, for example, the "leave messages on server setting" and others causing the problem.
I'm not sure its relevant, but when I used webmail at ATT.net, it bounced me around after logging in, and I had to log in a second time on a Yahoo screen.
I am running Windows 7 Pro on a desktop machine.
