When i am typing a text in thunderbird and then pressing the return key, the cursor springs always in the next paragrph ( 2 lines under ), but i want it only to go to the next line. When i choose text it always changes by pressing the return key to paragraph. How can i change this ungraceful habit of thunderbird?

All of a sudden when I try to print my emails from my MacBook Air, they come out all garbled like HTML code. Headers and body copy all come out in code instead of formatted correctly. I've tried everything I can think of to try to correct this issue, but I'm out of ideas. It works perfectly fine from both my other desktop computers. It's just happening with my laptop. I NEED to be able to print my emails from my laptop so I have GOT to get this figured out. Please help!

I suspect this has something to do with our old mail-server and changing the minimum level for TLS to TLSv1.2

In version 91 there is no ≡ > Options > Find in Options to get to the Config Editor. How is that done now ?

Hello! Using Thunderbird for some years now and very happy normally. Although after trying to send 1 email with a special character "å" in the address, that did NOT succeed, now everytime Thunderbid launches, it pops a dialogbox:

Dialogbox [Unsent Messages] [X Close] Do you want to send your unsent messages now? [Checkbox, Checked] Always ask me when I go online [Send Now] [Later]

Everytime I launch Thunderbird, it now welcomes me with the dialog box!

I have ZERO messages in [Outbox] folder and [Queue] folders. (Is the latter an official Thunderbid folder?) Both are empty. I have repaired ALL folders. I'm always online.

The email was never sent away, probably due to impossible character in email address, and I never saw the unsent email so I have not been able to delete it. Clicking the [Later] button dismisses the windows but then brings the problem back in the future.

Where is the list of log or index of unsent and still to be sent emails? Apparently Thunderbird knows something, despite [Outbox] folder being completely empty!?

I've manually gone offline and back online and sayed online like normally.

PS. read this topic which did not solve my problem! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1072963

Any and all help is welcome. Thanks

My email address and password were hacked today, so I can't get access to Thunderbird. I contacted my Webmail provider (Telstra - Australia) who have issued a new password that works in Webmail. However, apparently TB is only updated(?) once a month, and until then, my password isn't recognised by TB, so I can't get access to send and receive emails. I hope that makes sense. My questions are: is it true that I may have to wait up to 1 month to get this sorted; if an update is needed, when is the next date this will be done by TB; and is there any way that I can get my password sorted before the next update.

A probably related issue is that my Instagram account was hacked about 3 days ago and I got a scam email saying that my laptop had been accessed.

Thanks, Graham

I am having difficult connecting to mailboxes in Plesk Obsidian on a VPS. I can set up the mailboxes in Plesk and make a note of the password. I then go into TB and start the 'Add Mail Account' process. All goes well at first. I get a green message saying 'Configuration found by trying common server names' (automatic connection). When I click 'Done' TB whirrs for a bit and then comes back with a green message showing a tick and 'Checking Password' but an orange message saying 'Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password'. If I try manual configuration I get a similar sequence (using ports 995 and 465, SSL/TLS and 'Normal password').

I do not have this problem when working with cPanel (on a different server, but very similar mailboxes and security settings). This suggests to me that there's something amiss in my Plesk settings, but what could it be?

I have searched around without success. Most articles that might help are for TB 31 (even the Plesk Obsidian on-line manual). Any suggestions, please?

I cannot sent email to one specific recipient. I have two accounts, one through gmail and one through AT&T. When I try and sent an email to this one recipient from either account, the File/Send Now function is grayed out. Ctrl-Enter does not work either. This is the only recipient I cannot send mail to. I've sent test email to several other recipients with no problem. Obviously, I'm not getting any kind of 'email blocked' type of message, since nothing is being sent out.

My Thunderbird version is 91.9.0 (32-bit)

Any ideas why this is happening?

TIA for any help.

I have just re-installed the latest Thunderbird. Authentication Oauth2. I have given gmail my phone number to call for authentication. After the first test, gmail will not call my phone and will not log Thunderbird in. I cannot get in Thunderbird messages recently sent through the online browser into Thunderbird.

No response to previous, so trying again with 2 questions: 1. Having lost addresses and calendar because of having to download fresh program, are addresses and calendar still somewhere in the computer to be retrieved?? 2. To guard against it happening again, can ads & cal be stored remotely for re-importing??

I can not send emails using thunderbird . I have tried to reply to emails, as well as different emails to a variety of recipients I get the following message. Go to https AUP#IPBL1000. I have not gone there, Is this a scam? How do I get back on track?

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

Mbox upload to thunderbird went smooth. Setting on 14,000 emails in Local folders... However when I drag and drop that folder into the inbox of my gmail account so I can view remotely on any device, It caps out at 2500. I searched this on the web and it looks like google caps imap exchanges to 2,500/day but it says that it allows you to migrate entire inboxes up to 3 a month...

How do I get more than 2500 or set a schedule of uploading in the right order for exactly 2,500/day?

OR is there a better way altogether to get this to happen? I tried to connect my gsuite email account to pull in all old files but it could never gain access which led me down this google takeout mbox down load and upload into thunderbird

I have a Windows 11 original OS on my PC computer. I can install Thunderbird and it recognises my MS Hotmail Account and sets it up as normal. When I attempt to set up my gmail account I get the following error message: "Unable to log in at server. Probable wrong configuration, username or password." As far as I can tell all the details are correct. Anyone able to give me an idea how to get this working.

I am setting up a newsletter which will go to my five hundred contacts every day. can I download mozilla thunderbird, and will it be acceptable to do so with that email using another platform email marketing platform? My list has given me permission (signed up) for this, there is no cold emails, but they are forwarded on for several generations, from one person to all their contacts, to theirs ,and on and on. Would this be permissible with thunderbird? I thank you for your attention to this matter.

some messages are displaying as garbled test, I tried all the different html settings in the body display no differences in any of the displays. Messages on wedsite are correct. No updates that I am aware off have occurred. I have rebooted computer and Thunderbird to no effect

Hi, I'm using Thunderbird chat with XMPP and Openfire as XMPP server. My only problem is that I can't transfer file on chat window. However, I can easily send files on other XMPP client such as Pidgin or AstraChat.

So, my question is, does Thunderbird chat support file transfer ?

Thx
