Have one PC that thunderbird is crashing on. Program appears on the screen for a second or two then crashes, then I get the crash report popup. I tried starting thunderbird in safe mode and had the same results. Here are the last two crash reports, I have more if needed. bp-69869915-73ce-42e9-ab1b-30bbf0221122 bp-2b617d21-dc6c-4dcb-863f-27ff50221122

Thank you for any help that you may offer.

This is the error I get. I know nothing about programming and I have just downloaded thunderbird about 2 weeks ago and still trying to get it to work properly, i have come from outlook 2016.

I receive an email and it is in my inbox. the bottom half of the "window" has the email message in it when I click on the message in the list. I hover my mouse pointer over the senders name and a box opens up. In that box are several options one of them is a + symbol which indicates by clicking on it I can add to the address book. BUT when I click on it I get a really small error box which I have to maximise to read. When I do maximise the box it says "problem loading page" and in the middle of the window is

Is it possible for someone to suggest what I might do to fix it.

I use TB 13, believe it or not. Why? B/c I despise change -- it's streamlined, efficient, perfect. Now the pure evil known as Gmail is blocking me from downloading my messages. I hear I need to upgrade to at least TB 68 to use OAuth and surmount this problem. When I got my new comp I tried to get the new TB but it seemed so unorganized/complicated and as if it didn't function like TB13 -- the absolutely crucial and most important key function being: No need to be online to do anything. I can write a new message, save it, send it later. I can download messages when I feel like it. Read them offline. Reply to them offline. Connect when I want to and send the messages. Is this still possible with TB 68+? Create folders, again offline. I do not want to depend on being online for absolutely anything, except to send and receive messages. Can someone tell me if this is still possible using new versions of TB?

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

Hello. My Thunderbird Portable 91.10.0 (32-bit, Win7 64-bit) stopped working with gmail. Cookies are allowed in the settings. The latest updates are installed. What should I do?

When I send email with an attachment (not very large attachment) it takes forever and then I eventually get a message back that the out going server has timed out and the message is then automatically saved in my Draft folder. However, it seems the message and attachment are actually sent and received by the recipient. Is the system not recognizing that the message is complete and just stays in the send mode until the server times out?

Just this week I started having problems where Thunderbird hangs, apparently due to a memory leak, after viewing S/MIME signed emails containng embedded hyperlinks to a secure site that requires my certificate to login. This is on a Dell Precision 7550 running Windows 10, and Thunderbird 91.9.0 (also the previous installed version - I believe it was 91.8.1).

After clicking on such an email (which come from a known address and are forwarded to a specific folder by a rule), the email is slow or fails to load into the display window. Subsequent clicking on other folders has a delayed response or never responds. I sometimes get a message at the top saying (Not Responding), sometimes I can click on other email records or switch folders, but emails no longer display contents in the viewing pane - it stays blank.

The other think I noticed is the blue bar at the lower right which appears when compacting shows up with the bar at 100% but never goes away. To end the task I must use Task Manager. This behavior only occurs after I have clicked on signed email with links (but not the link itself) that require a login using the smartcard certificates. Prior to looking at the signed email with these links, TB operates normally (aside from the endemic new user interface issues) when viewing other signed or unsigned emails. Curiously, in my most recent restart of the program, I clicked on several messages from the source of the emails with the hyperlinks, but ones that did not link to the secure files requiring certificate access. One of these was encrypted and opened normally with my certificate, and after accessing this email, the emails with the secure hyperlink opened normally and did not result in TB not responding.

I believe this has something to do with TB and S/MIME configuration, and have verified this behavior does not occur in Troubleshooting mode. However, in Troubleshooting mode, I cannot access my PKI S/MIME certificates as the Broadcom smart card device is not present. I am attaching a task manager snip showing the memory leak (the memory used continues to increase with time, the CPU percentage stays roughly the same - unfortunately this file upload has a perpetually spinning circle and still says it is uploading, so I may have to try again). I have also included the Device Manager view associated with the S/MIME certificates in regular and troubleshooting mode which show the internal Broadcom device is not present in the latter instance. I need to have the functionality and security provided by the smartcard S/MIME certificates, so this is a major problem for me.

Hi there! I'm having trouble attaching files and gaining acces to local files on my computer in general. When trying to attach, the bathing bubble (Mac) appears for 5-10 seconds, then nothing happens. Have tried to search through help forums and Googled, but haven't found any description of this problem. Thank you in advance, Andreas

Finally! I successfully migrated from Eudora 7, but I had to use TB 17.  Where do I go from here?

I'm running a Mac (10.12.6) with different flavors of Windows in different Parallels VM's, and in order to keep my Eudora install safe I did the conversion on a Win 10 32-bit VM on my creaky old MacBookPro which is disconnected from my network.

So now I want to get a current version of TB running with my newly minted TB data on my primary desktop computer. Typically I am concurrently running the following Parallels VM's: Win 7 32-bit, Win 10 32-bit and Win 10 64-bit.

Makes no difference to me which VM I start with, I just don't know how to get from TB17 on my laptop to TB95(?) on one of my desktop VM's.

I have been backing up my Tbird profile using FreeFileSync, which copies all files which have changed between the original and copy since the last backup. I did that this morning, but then made a mistake handling some tasks so restored my Tbird profile from the backup. Now when I start Tbird I get a largely blank screen, but with only one tab, marked Home, and a message in the bottom left saying "Synchronising Google Calendar". The system then hangs. I'm using 102.11 under Ubuntu 22.04LTS. I now realise I should have been using export to backup my profile, and will do so in future (!), but that won't help me today. How can I fix this?

For years when I compose an email, my address book appeared on the left column.

Somehow today it disappeared. How can I get it back to the above location when composing an email?

Has anyone received this message or know how to fix the issue that may be causing it?

The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 554-'5.4.14 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop ATTR34 [BL0GCC02FT003.eop-gcc02.prod.protection.outlook.com]'

Hi, thanks for your help in advance.

My Thunderbird keeps stalling every time it checks the Hotmail messages. The "thinking" wheel keeps coming up and it freezes for the duration of the process of checking the Hotmail account for new messages.

This didn't happen before, and it doesn't happen with other email accounts (gmail or others). I believe it started with the last 2 updates or so.

I am using a Macbook Pro 16, 2019, 2,3 Ghz, i9, 16Gb, and TB 102.3.3

I look forward to your suggestions to solving this issue since it interferes with my workflow every time I have to wait for TB to unfreeze after it finishes checking the Hotmail account.

Thanks again. Best. Nacho.

Hello, I moved from TB 102 to 115 some months ago. I've just noticed that TB appears two times in my Win10 22H2 Apps & Features:

I'm tempted to use Uninstall on the 102.3.0 occurrence but I don't want to mess things up. What is the best way to remove the duplicate in Apps & Features? Thanks.

Hello, I've written to You in below topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1435807

We've fixed it just as You've instructed us.

But we've still got problem with sending and saving emails. Some messages (not always, just in some periods of time), are not sent and not saved in sent messages. We've had this problem yesterday and now I don't know what has been sent and which were not.

Waiting for your reply. Best regards
