I am using Windows 10 and have been using Tbird for many years. It just updated to 52.9.1 (32-bit), when I went to about Tbird to find out which version I am using. I have uploaded screen prints of what it now looks like when I go into Thunderbird. I was asked when I first went in about linking to a calendar, which I didn't think much of and I just have a Tbird screen that shows nothing, like I am a totally new user. It simply thinks that I am new to Thunderbird, I believe that my profile information is still there. What could have happened? and more important, how do I fix it. Please help !! Jon

Mailboxes are stored on a NAS server. Several computers have access to one folder - but only one has an e-mail check. The rest have this option turned off. From version 60, the computer with the option to check, synchronize mail etc - deletes the contents of the main directory, because seeing that the files are blocked by the second computer - creates their empty versions!

Seriously, when I look for help on this either the issue doesn't exist or the response to this question is just bullshit. I think I read somewhere that you have to remove Thunderbird and install an old version. That is seriously a crap approach. What the latest reality on this?
When I'm typying in the "to" bar while composing a new email, it will not autofill without allowing packets to the internet. Why?

I've been using Thunderbird concurrently with an IP blocker (I know, I know) for years, and have never had this issue until today. When I try to compose a new email, the autocomplete function does not work anymore. Whenever I type in the "to" bar, my ipblocker lights up, trying to send a packet to 192.95.20.194 (OvH). When I look in my "collected addresses" section of Thunderbird, it is now empty.
I understand that it's possible that Thunderbird has always pinged an IP to make autocomplete work, but the IP changed into a range that I block.
So my question is, do you need to send packets of data somewhere for autocomplete to work, and if so... why? If not, what's going on here?
I'm running 52.9.1 on a windows 8.1 machine, connecting through a VPN with (currently) an IP in the US. I do have a google account linked, if that has something to do with it.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thunderbird sends me to Firefox any time I click a link. But where there are multiple links in an email I'm forced to interrupt the reading experience in order to get the links loaded into my browser. Preferred behavior, at least as an option, would be to maintain focus in Thunderbird/email while opening multiple links externally. Finish reading email >> switch to browser to read linked information.

I have a Dell laptop that I use to test new software. It is running Win10 and MS Office 2007. I copied my Outlook data file & contacts from my desktop pc. I started Outlook on the laptop and everything appears to be functional. I then started TB then selected "Tools", then "Import" then "Mail". TB opens the "Import" window and shows me 3 options: Becky! Internet Mail, Outlook and Outlook Express. However, "Outlook" is not highlighted and when I click on it nothing happens. Outlook is set up as my default mail client.

I have linked my Google Calendar to Thunderbird using Lightning and Provider for Google Calendar. In my Google Account, I have six sub-calendars, one of them being "Holidays in United States." I can see the Holidays when I view my Google calendar at Google.com, but holidays do not appear in my Lightning Calendar. All other sub-calendars appear correctly in Lightning.
Any suggestions on how I can get the contents of that calendar to appear?
Thanks,

Ok, I have run into a very strange situation. I'm running 52.9.1 installed on C drive. Have data on D drive The setup has been running flawlessly for several years. I noticed that new email accounts that I had added several weeks ago disappeared. I re-added them, started Thunderbird later and they were gone. They do not stay in the profile. So i enabled multiple profiles to rebuild the old profile assuming there is some corruption - created a fresh profile - started in that profile. Added a few plugins, turned off notifications for integration etc. added the 1st of a few email accounts - restart, select new profile..nothing is saved again - even the show menu bar reverts to original, no email account is kept in the new profile as well. Super weird! I fully uninstalled 52.9.1 - reinstalled and it did nothing for me. I have no idea how it could be this borked it's beyond belief. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on under the hood? The old accounts refresh fine but no changes in the old profile can be kept nor the new profile. The new profile does get written to the drive but none of the settings are persistent.
To be clear no settings are persistent at all on both the new and old profiles.
Looking forward to any help thanks in advance and best regards

The release notes for Thunderbird version 60 state that FIDO U2F is supported. Unfortunately it doesn't mention any email providers that it works with. It appears that it might not just be a question of whether Thunderbird supports U2F, the email provider might need to do some work to make it work too, despite them already supporting U2F with webmail.
Reading https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444101 (Enable FIDO U2F for Thunderbird) I get the impression that the person who implemented the support never verified it ever worked with a email account. Instead they tested its U2F conformance using https://u2f.bin.coffee/ and then stated "Google would then need to make sure their login flow accommodates Thunderbird users with U2F tokens."
1. Has anybody actually gotten U2F to work with a Thunderbird Gmail account ? https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/
2. How about other email providers such as Fastmail ? My main account is a Fastmail IMAP account and I would like to make it more secure using U2F. But I don't want to buy a Yubico U2F device (I would actually need two, one as a backup) until its clearer whether it might work. I have asked in the Fastmail support forum whether it works but I suspect that if I get any answer, they'll suggest I ask Mozilla.
How do I get rid of the vertical tasks pane in the Tasks tab?

I have been using ReminderFox for a calendar based reminder list. Now that Lightning is integrated into version 60 I'm trying to configure Lightning to create a calendar based reminder list, and use it instead. Unless I set the event view to a single day I can only read two or three words of the event description (unless I double click on it), and when looking ahead I don't need the time information (which wastes a lot of screen real estate).
I imported my calendar from ReminderFox, and checked tasks in "events and tasks" to get rid of the large calendar pane. I now have three vertical panes in a Tasks tab - a mini-month (useful), new tasks pane (not useful), and a vertical event pane that identifies today, tomorrow and the date in later events (exactly what I wanted). How do I get rid of the middle vertical pane? The only way I can find to get rid of it re-enables the calendar pane (wrecking the calendar based reminder list), and I can't seem to drag and drop the vertical edges to reduce the size. The mouse cursor will change from a single arrow to a horizontal double arrow when I select the edge of the vertical pane, but it won't let me drag and drop it.
As a temporary workaround I closed the Tasks tab (that had the mini-month, new tasks and events) and dragged the border above "show completed tasks" in the "events and tasks" vertical pane in the main window as low as I could. That only wastes the bottom 3 lines in the vertical pane on the right. This is a reasonable replacement for what I'm used to but there really isn't enough room to have all of the data I want to see in the folder pane and the event&tasks pane at the same time. Especially since I like to read messages in a message preview pane instead of a tab/window. So I enabled the Tasks tab again.
Any suggestions on how I can get rid of the middle vertical pane (new tasks) in the Tasks tab or reduce its width?

Pasted material seems impossible to format, especially adjusting the font size, much less adopt the format of the email.

Hello,
I cannot import the plugin MoreFunctionsForAddressBook as Thunderbirds tell me it's not supported by my version.
I have tried to import with a .csv file but it fails too.

The column headers where you can sort by subject, from, date, ect.. is now just white and does not have any boarders. It blends right in with the message pane which is frustrating. I installed TB on a VM I spun up and the column headers look normal. I suspect the installation on my machine is pulling some old interface or something. I need help to fix this issue.
