Thunderbird Support Forum

spent a long time typing a complex mail, and due to the way the new version (115.5.0) does things, the outgoing address had a . on the end of it that wasn't visible, because it was obscured by a note that the send address wasn't in the address book, For years, I've had used BCC to get a copy back into my inbox, but now, with this latest version, if the send fails, it also doesn't forward the copy, so a mail that took over an hour to create is now lost due to the failure of the system, before now, a fail due to invalid address returned the item, so at least the body of the mail wasn't lost.

NOT impressed, this means I now have to change my system in order to not lose items by using the BCC option, it meant I knew that the server had processed the mail, now, I've no way to be sure it has truly been sent.

Hi, reset password in Thunderbird account and went to log back in and can now only access past 14 days of emails. One mail; folder has emails back to 2020, but no other folders have any emails available. How do we go about recovering these emails??? Cheers, Paul

I am using Thunderbird 115.5.0 and have been suffering double line spacing since I upgraded to this version. I can fix it on a on a per session basis, but when the programme is closed, it defaults to double space again. May I ask when this bug is going to be addressed please? Thanks John.

Hi When I opened my inbox yesterday only 95 emails were visible less than 1 month of emails. The mail file still shows that it contains 12 gig of data so I presume all of the emails are still on file. How to I access all of the remaining emails. Thanks

Hi! under Thunderbird and IMAP if I read a message and keep it, my wife with another PC (Windows, Thunderbird) will not see it. I have to transfer it to her own address. Any tip? Thanks

The first address is sometimes clipped when entered in the "to" field. In the images below, abuse@cogentco.com was entered but the final m was not displayed until I clicked back on the entry. See the attached images...

Hello I'm currently in need of configuring all of the clients with the Root CA certificate needed to use our new proxy server. I've seen that Thunderbird uses its own certificate repository, but there is yet a configuration option for reading Windows machine's own store, called security.enterprise_roots.enabled . This could be the best option since my users work on shared windows terminal servers. Is there a way to deploy this setting to all users? (I haven't found a GPO template for Thunderbird with this setting) I think I could create a logon script to copy a default user.js to every profile folder, but I don't know where the system could read the profiles path (multiple for most of the users).

thanks

I have a Windows 7 that has all my email accounts which still works fine.... the new Windows 11 machine has the same settings and worked for 2 months until 2 days after latest update - when incoming on all accounts stopped and sending apparently sends but hangs saying unable to copy to sent folder owing to network or other issues. My original 11yearold Dell still works fine on all accounts but it should be pensioned off by now!? Any clues about whether to go back to an earlier version or is there something else I am missing? There are many irritating issues with Thunderbird but unfortunately I am not aware of a anything better - having tried most of them in 30 years!

Running 115.5.0 and want to export my contact list to be able to use it in a spreadsheet. The export function in the Tools dropdown only allows for export of "accounts, messages, address books and settings to a ZIP file." What happened to the ability to export just the address book separately to a csv file? Please help. Thank you.

Good evening, when I delete an email on Mozilla Thunderbird it is not deleted at the same time on the liberomail site. How should I set up my account? Thank you Best regards

email preview window text is overlapping body text in last week. It also does not allow me to see the senders actual email - which is helpful in eliminating phishing

Using multiple profiles. Checked work offline. Thunderbird opens to a page asking me to "Setup Your Existing Email Account" when I'm attempting to open an old email account.

The server settings have changed since this profile was used. Thunderbird is giving this error message: Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

Why is Thunderbird asking me to do this and trying to connect to the server when I requested to work offline?
