I used to have 3 calendars. now everything shows in one calendar named 'calendar'. how do I get to display one calendar at a time. In the current display under column 'calendar, name' I see 3 different names and the items in the display are pink, green, and yellow. I think at some time I hit 'synchronize' by mistake.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am replacing my old PC with a Mac that is running Sonoma. I’m a new Mac user so this is brand new to me. I have moved my Tbird profile from one PC to another. But moving to a Mac is brand new to me.

I have no idea where a Mac stores files or how to download to the right place.

Would you please walk me through, step by step, how to download my Tbird profile from my PC to my Mac so I will have all of my old email?

I have been using Tbird for decades and do not want to lose that email in my move to Mac.

Many many thanks in advance for your support.

My email provider has crashed bigtime, and may not come back for a while. I have them connected via IPAP mail protocol. Until this morning, all of my saved offline emails and folders were present despite the provider's outage. Now the saved mails and folders have disappeared. I made a Thunderbird backup yesterday using the Export/Import Tool and Save All Files. But before I try to restore the old stuff , is there some other way to bring back the previously saved offline files and emails? (I have already checked that I do not have a filter clicked. I also did a restart on the Windows 10 PC).

Up until the last update, Thunderbird was pretty on point. I rarely had to wait more than 30 seconds for it to delete several messages at a time (junk mail, amirite?) I don't use add ons or calendars, I solely use Thunderbird as a mail handler. Any ideas?

The mother board on my old computer crashed and I needed to get a new computer. Old computer will not post or boot-up. Is there anyway to retrieve and transfer my Thunderbird email files to my new computer when the old computer will not post? Thanks!

I'm using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint.

Yesterday, I performed a complete reformat and upgrade to the latest version of Mint and I've been struggling to read emails in Thunderbird ever since. The text in the emails I receive is absolutely tiny - I'd say it was almost impressively small if it weren't so infuriating.

I've included a screenshot example of what I'm talking about. Note the size of the subject line at the top to see the disparity.

I've scoured the support pages and carefully followed the instructions given, but the aside from increasing the font of the program itself, there is no change in the text size of the messages themselves.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have a Gmail account and use the web browser version on my windows 10 laptop and the Android Gmail app on my Samsung S22 android phone. Prior to installing Thunderbird v115.7.0 (note I did not have an earlier version installed), the notifications would appear on both windows and the phone. Since installing Thunderbird on the laptop I do not get notifications on the phone. I have to open Gmail on the phone to see if there are new email message.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers! Terry

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird for some time and it has served me well. I used it to manage my gmail accounts with encryption and so on.

Recently I have deleted one of my gmail accounts and when I launch it Thunderbird asks me to log in to that account. "Sign in to continue to Mozilla Thunderbird Email" And I am supposed to enter my email.

I have checked the account settings: the old account (let's call it old@gmail.com) is no longer there. I have also removed the outgoing SMTP server for the old account.

I do not know how to stop the app from asking me to log in to an nonexistent account.

When I open Thunderbird all the emails are listed BUT they are double spaced. This is not the spacing of an email response, just the way they are displayed when TB is opened. I'm sure it is a simple mouse click selection but it eludes me. Can anyone suggest the choice? There are two computers and one of them displays exactly they way wanted. The other one show each email double spaced before opening it. The attached image is the display I want. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird for about 15 years, primarily with version 52.1, on multiple computers, with multiple accounts. Currently I have one commercial google account, and three zoho.com accounts, and I'm using the latest version of Windows 10 Pro 64.

Today, when I went to check my emails, the zoho accounts has THOUSANDS of old emails, six months old or more, with recent dates and times shown, and multiple copies of each email. The total was about 80 thousand, and still counting. The Google account was fine.

So I closed Thunderbird. Then I went to zoho.com to get a web view of my accounts, assuming that they had been hacked. But to my surprise, everything looked normal there. Just my regular emails.

So I went to another computer, and found the same problem with Thunderbird. So I assumed it was something to do with the old version of Thunderbird, and started doing upgrades. When I got to version 68.1, the craziness stopped. I could check accounts, and it came back with no new emails, so I was relieved.

But I did not like the look of 68, and could not find any add-ons or extensions to make it look better. So I decided to continue upgrading, hoping a newer version would look better, or have more options.

When I got to version 101.2 I was really impressed with the colors, but then it went crazy again, downloading thousands of emails. So I kept upgrading to the latest version, 115, but the problem did not go away.

So now I am stumped. Is it something in my settings? How can I fix this? Please, please help!

Thank you, Dave Morris

So, basically, I am using the latest version of Thunderbird and a Gmail account

I am having issues when it comes to the client staying connected to the server- big issues. Sometimes, it can take me up to an hour to download just two messages from the server. My internet is fine, and while browsing I don't have any issues- it's just with the email client

I thought about using the safe mode without the ad ons to see if that would help, but then I remembered that I didn't install any, so no, it probably wouldn't

Any ideas?. I'm not expecting lightning speeds, but 5/10 minutes would be a huge improvement on almost an hour wait.

Thanks
