Thunderbird Support Forum

Using Thunderbird 91.9.1 (latest as of typing this).

Steps: 1) Open Thunderbird. 2) If not already maximized, maximize the Thunderbird window using the button in the title bar. 3) Use shortcut Windows Key + down arrow (or swipe gesture if touchpad setup). 4) Thunderbird will restore down as per the shortcut (Good). 5) Use shortcut Windows Key + down arrow (or swipe gesture if touchpad setup). 6) Thunderbird does nothing (Bad - Should minimize). 7) Use shortcut Windows Key + up arrow (or swipe gesture if touchpad setup). 8) Thunderbird does nothing (Bad - Should maximize).

In steps 5-8, Thunderbird does not respond to either minimize or maximize. These same steps work in any other application (Firefox for example).

What have I tried? I updated Thunderbird (wasn't on the latest, but I am now). I've closed and re-opened Thunderbird. I've restarted my laptop. Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird. Nothing has worked.

Hi

I wanted to set up message filters to redirect (not fwd) e-mails but there isn't a redirect option on message filters - or am I'm missing something? Thanks

Can you tell me how to add my Sent folder back to my Local folder? It used to be there and it's disappeared. I wish I could tell you which version of TB I'm using but I don't know where to find it anymore. I can tell you that I'm using Win10.

Thanks so much for any assistance!

I can't login on one email address to my gmail via thunderbird because the key seems to be unrecognized whereas when I log in to the same account using web browser it works effortlessly. Moreover installing a new instance of thunderbird or disabling Kaspersky Internet Security doesn't work either.

I can still login to the previously made google accounts via thunderbird on fresh install though I cannot do the same for the email in question.

Any hints?

The image I shared shows that the key is unrecognized by the website although it is. It displays for each of 3 keys added to this account. On website all of them works as well for other email accounts on gmail via thunderbird.

I'd like to be able to configure the format of numbered lists, both for a particular list in an email, and as a default template that will apply to all future emails that I compose.

I can find no documentation on how numbered lists are supposed to work. Mine are currently giving me roman numerals at all levels, e.g.

1. Top level

 1.  Next level
   1.  Lower level

I've come across some interesting options, including particularly https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1052897, which I've tried, but it doesn't work for me.

Please help!

I have already spent many hours on this but cannot figure this out. After 3 weeks Thurderbird removed all my emails on my pc

I let Thunderbird download the latest version. Result? It wouldn't run at all, crashing immediately after clicking on it to load. I had to download the previous version to be able to use it. I'm on an iMac running Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1. Needless to say, I will never allow a future download of Thunderbird.

Recent update 91.9.1 (32-bit) has seemingly removed "insert link" function. It is no longer in the pull down menu, nor does CTRL+K respond with the entry box for placing a hyperlink in the message.

This has been working fine for me for many years, I know how to do it, so no elementary instructions are necessary. The function is gone, and no way to invoke it.

Windows 10.0.10944; yes, I know I am on a 64-bit platform but the 32-bit version has been running very reliably .. since forever.

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

Need help with restoring the address book in Thunderbird. I copied the profile folder from Thunderbird, but when I opened the file, I noticed there was no abook.mab file. There is a abook.sqlite file??? There is 2 folders in the profile, one that is xxxxxxx.default and the other is xxxxx.default-release. Do I need both files? Cheer Karen

I am using Thunderbird 91.9.1. I have imported several calendars from my google account which works really well. What does not work well is trying to import/show my google tasks, they simply appear nowhere. How I tried to import them: Calendar -> New Calendar... -> On the Network -> Entering my google account at Username -> after logging in, only my google calendars are shown, not the tasks.

What am I missing? Thanks!

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

Hello. I have deleted all messages from one email (sent and received). The problem is, when I type the email in search system, there is still one (sent) message but it's invisible and I can't find it in any folder. How can I delete that one message? For further details, ask me here.

I'm using Thunderbird 91.9.1 on Ubuntu. I have other issues going on that make me decide to just reinstall the OS. I want to back up Thunderbird and I already know how to do so by copying the relevant profile folder in .thunderbird. However, I have been dealing with the Inbox "A unique identity matching the from address was not found" bug. For others looking for that error, it does seem to be a known bug, using Ctrl-o to open the email is a workaround. This does not affect any other folders. Using the Repair Folder option does not solve the issue.

So what I want to achieve is to export everything except the Inbox itself. What I'd like to know is the best way to achieve this.

Is it better to create a new profile after the reinstall and just copy everything except inbox and inbox.msf from the existing profile or to copy the entire old profile over, set the new install to use that old profile and then copy the inbox and inbox.msf files from the default profile created during the install?
