Thunderbird Support Forum

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I am currently facing an issue with installing the Owl for Exchange addon on Thunderbird for Windows. I have successfully installed it on Linux, but unfortunately, I'm unable to replicate the process on my Windows machine.

The purpose of installing this addon is to synchronize my institutional Outlook account with Thunderbird. Despite following the installation steps carefully, the addon doesn't seem to work properly, in fact doesn't appear as an option when I try to add an account. I've tried reinstalling Thunderbird and the addon multiple times, but with no success.

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar problem or has any idea why this might be happening specifically on Windows. Are there any additional configurations or dependencies required for the addon to work on Windows? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,

I must have done something wrong with Thunderbird but I can't see what.

Most of the messages I receive look like this one. ( Please take a look at the image. )

And that is with all 10 accounts.

How do I reset THUNDERBIRD 102.11.0 (64 bits) ?

Thanks.

As per the subject line, how can I globally, meaning all mailboxes managed by my Thunderbird client, turn off grouping of messages and their replies? I have only found an option that turns this off after I've read the mail.

Thanks, Nap

Linux Mint MATE 21.1 TB v 102.11.0 Looking for a way to have Thunderbird startup with it's window at particular screen location and size. Currently it has a fixed location and size every time I start it up. I have found no settings that allows me the change it. I could also settle with it remembering it's current settings at shutdown like Firefox does.

I want to offer a problem and solution. This information could be added to the help topic that includes the paragraph "What if I want to see my ignored threads?"

Problem: I accidentally ignored a subthread. How can I reverse that setting? Context: Thunderbird Version 102.11.2, Windows 10.

Solution: I right-clicked on the message in the message list pane. Although “ignore subthread” was not checked, I clicked it anyway. This toggled the setting to off. The information message bar disappeared and the symbol in column “Thread” reverted to normal.

Note: the tentative solution I picked up from the existing help topic did not work. I set View – Threads – I checked All and Ignored Threads. This changed nothing.

Please tell me how to remove "all Addresses" from the 3 folders in my Thunderbird address book. Personal and collected are more than sufficient. Thank you very much for your help.

My question is in the subject line. "Will the new Supernova interface and Thunderbird redesign cause problems with or disable old extensions?"

It's very frustrating to have to spend hours finding extension replacements when the old ones no longer work. The last time a TB update changed things like this, I had to waste a lot of time doing this. I had to hold off on updating TB for weeks in fact, because doing so would have disabled so many critical extensions that I was using. Eventually, I was able to find replacement extensions (usually having to embrace feature degradation though) and in other cases simply had to give up conveniences that I had grown to take for granted.

I don't welcome the prospect of having to do this kind of thing all over again.

When I used to click on a link in a Thunderbird email, it used to open in a new tab alongside already opened tabs (in Safari v 15.6.1). Now they open in a new window, which is a pain. I have tried googling the issue but am getting nowhere. Can anyone help? I use a MacBook Pro 9.2 (mid 2012), v 10.15.7, with Thunderbird v 102.11.1 (soon to be updated to 102.11.2). Many thanks.

Hello,

When I receive new IMAP emails, Thunderbird a loads the header of the email automatically and can tell me that a new email has arrived.

Unfortunately when I click into each email I have to wait for each one to load when loading for the first time. How can I set Thunderbird so that all new and existing emails are already preloaded in the background such that when I tap into the email it is already loaded?

Hi there, I have a new Macbook which is running Ventura 13.4 as OS. I have installed Thunderbird 102.11.2. Both of these are latest versions. In System Settings, I cannot adjust the Notifications for Thunderbird - everything is switched on and I cannot change that (see first uploaded image). I have also tried the Settings pane in Thunderbird itself. Although I have unchecked all of the Notifications boxes (see second uploaded image), I continue to get all notifications - banners, alerts and sounds. I do not want all these things as it disturbs me while I am working. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in the system? On my previous Macbook I could control the Thunderbird notifications. Thanks, Greg

I am using Thunderbird version 102.11.1 64bit using POP with a Gmail Account. Ocassionally, I have to use Gmail in my Edge browser to send or reply to a message, only to find it appears in Thunderbird.

I am part of an email list in which many emails come in everyday. That is why I created a sub-folder in Thunderbird for them, and created a manual filter so that all emails with the email-list's address as addressee are redirected to that sub-folder. I do want to be able to receive all the emails that go to that email list, just in this separate folder, so that it doesn't crowd out my other emails. I set the settings to "filter before Junk classification" and I also put that filter on top of all the filters.

I just realized that many many of the emails to that email list landed in the spam folder instead. The addressee is exactly as stated in my manual filter. It is explicitly set to FIRST go through my manual filter before they can be classified as spam. If Thunderbird did what it says it does, none of these emails should land in the spam folder, because filtered out by my manual filter before.

Does anyone know why this happens, and how to prevent it?

I hope someone can help me. Up until the last week or so, I have had no problem with my signature file in outgoing email. I've been using the same signature file for at least 5 years. Suddenly, Thunderbird is blocking my logo image in my signature file in all outgoing mail. Instead, it is showing my alternate text. I am using version 102.6.1 on Windows 10

I have an installed dropbox as a Filelink provider for large attachments. It used to work properly. Recently I found that there is no warning that my attachments are larger than the 5 MB limit that I set. I work with Windows 11 and my Thunderbird version is 102.10.2

When I started working from home, I bought my own domain and used my email address from that domain by forwarding the email to my Zen Internet ISP, where I picked it up. Most people have that address. However, unless I'm missing something, in Thunderbird, I can set it up as the default Reply To address, but not as a permanent From address, so, unless I use the Custom Address each time, people end up with a second or third or fourth email address for me in their Contacts. I assume it's not possible to set up a permanent Custom Address?

I have been searching far and wide for an answer and am stuck here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1368273

This solution doesn't work for Thunderbird 102.11.0 because there is no OTHER WRITING SYSTEMS. I have set LATIN on font and size, composition is set to HTML. Variable width is set, but if I change this to a specific font, it still shows something different than the font I've used to compose, so it doesn't seem to help.

Sent files show Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Why is it so hard? I want my sent files to look like my composed files as much as possible. For example, if I use a serif font to compose, I want a similar or, if available, identical serif font, for readers if they use HTML as well. Thx in advance.

I have version 102.11.0 on my Mac Catalina. Recently I noticed problems on this Thunderbird. Last month I sent eFaxes that did not go through. My telephone service is looking into that since they provide the email address I am to use for faxing. However, I sent an email with attachment to my GMAIL address, which is not synced with Thunderbird, so that I could bring the file from that inbox into Google Drive. The attachment is a text document I am working on with Google apps. Though the email arrived, in Thunderbird I did not receive a cc: copy, as I usually make with all my email messages. Strange that this should happen after many months of reliability.
