Thunderbird Support Forum

I have two "[edited] @desmedt.net" in my Thunderbird main folder. First one works as designed, second is always empty. In addition I have a Local Folders always empty too. How do I get rid of them, thanks. ___________________________________________ Daniel Desmedt [removed email and phone# from public support forum]

I think I must be missing something. Here is what I am seeing:

Using Thunderbird (v115.4.1 64bit), start a new email message. Go right to the Composition area of the new message and do the following:

• Turn on Bold
• Turn on Underline
• Type BBB
• Hit return twice
• Turn off Bold
• Turn off Underline
• Type C

When I do that C does not get typed. I have to type it a second time. Further if there is text underneath where the C is going to go, some text and possibly a line will be deleted especially if it is blank.

Is there a way to turn off this behaviour?

I've been using Thunderbird for YEARS, with 4 different accounts and 10 identities. As you can imagine, I have a ton of rules to help organize my emails.

It just self-upgraded to 115.3.3 yesterday, and suddenly, I have NO RULES.

I can get used to the new look & feel. But to lose all of my rules? Really? Come on man!

Somehow my .lnk file for thunderbird has disappeared. If I were to download and reinstall Tbird would it wipe out my emails and address books, etc.? Or is there a better way?

My wife's pc has a local Thunderbird installation/database. Is there any way I can also access her Thunderbird email while she has it open?

For example, if she and I are currently in the same Thunderbird database, will any emails I delete also automatically delete in her instance of Thunderbird?

On my Microsoft Surface Pro 7 running Windows 11 Thunderbird starts out very small and I set the high DPI compatibility mode on thunderbird.exe to System to fix this. The really annoying part is that every time Thunderbird updates (which seems fairly frequent) I lose that setting and have to do it over. Firefox does not have this issue.

Can Thunderbird fix it's high DPI display once and for all?

After many, many years of using and supporting Thunderbird, it is now time to quit. The new update is horrible. I need new email client recommendations. $ is ok. (I'll pay to get away from Thunderbird.) (Searches are a muddled mass of paid/partial reviews) Thanks.

Hi,

The previous version of Thunderbird before Nova showed me the accumalated size totals of folders/subfolders for each email account I have. Now it only shows the size of each folder, not including any sub folders. Is there a way of changing this please? Thanks, Kevin Seal.

I keep telling thunderbird that messages are not junk, but it keeps putting them back in the Junk folder. The messages come from people in my address book. What the f... is going on? It is extremely annoying. I have been using thunderbird forever. I would have to switch to microsoft software. Please help!

When I open a message in my att.net inbox, thunderbird opens it in a Write window as if I am going to send it instead of just reading it. The From field is my att.net address (poohpah@att.net), The Reply-To field is the sender of the message, and the To field is my att.net account. There is also a yellow box at the bottom of the window that says:

  "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity dennis george <poohpah@att.net>"

This does not happen in my gmail.com account - it opens messages normally. Version is 115.4.1 (64-bit)

Outgoing smtp from Thunderbird has stopped since update. I have reviewed all the documentation and been in contact with my provider and still have been unable to resolve the problem. I am very frustrated with this issue. I attempted the SSL/TLS reversion back to version 1 and this did not help.

I have tried changing the port number to that suggested my my provider which for outgoing is supposed to be 587, although 24 has always worked. They also suggested changing the server name to mail.twc.com which did not work. They suggested the full email in the User Name field, which I did with various combinations of port numbers and server names and none have worked.

When I attempt to send I get the following error: The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-server.rochester.rr.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

When I use changed settings as described above I just get a timed out error as though there is no connection at all.

Screenshot of SMTP settings as they have always been attached. Email provider rochester.rr.com. ISP Spectrum. No firewall. Virus protection Bitdefender v. 27.0.23.112. OS Windows 11 Home build 22621.2428. Thunderbird version 115.4.1

Please assist

Why is there no resolution to the problem so many of us are experiencing? Thunderbird just QUIT downloading email. I lost 20 folders full of data from older emails that I can never recoup. And Thunderbird still won't work. We all need answers NOW!!!!!! Really funny that there is a link at the bottom to email me when there is an answer!!!!

Hello, When I read and delete messages on my android phone (android12) they do not show as read or deleted on my laptop and vice versa. Email is Gmail on both, laptop on win 11 and Thunderbird, phone also on Thunderbird. Any help appreciated Thanks

There is someone continusouly trying to log-into my email address. But I do not know where this is coming from.

Help please....to find out who or where this is coming from.

Thank you.

As the title says, I read a blog post that the Thunderbird team was beginning work on an iOS app in 2023 and I was curious if there was any updates on it. I have thunderbird everywhere, including all of my work computers, but I don’t have it the one device that I am always on and that is iOS.
