Thunderbird Support Forum

Many years ago with Virgin Media and Thunderbird I set up original e-mail of alexam@blueyomder.co.uk, then added alexamimages@yahoo.com for photography then badgerwoodcrafters@yahoo.com for my woodwork hobby, but now I am 83 I only wish to use my e-mail of malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com. I thought I had redirected the other e-mails to my gmail account, but it does not seem to work correctly or only intermitantly and I need some help please, as I am unable t understand what is needed.

Can someone please let me know how I re-direct all previous e-mails to my new gmail account on my new windows 11 laptop and help an old non geek like me to understand. many thanks. Please reply to malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com.

I have been locked ot of TBird (due to a lost Primary Password) for so long that most of the stored passwords are no longer relevant. I need to start over with a new copy of TBird on my PC - can anyone please give me detailed instructions?

My mom accidentally marked an email in Thunderbird as junk. I need to figure out how to remove that, so that the emails from that domain will come through. I don't see anywhere that I can do that. How would I undo it?

I use Thunderbird as my email client for Gmail from two different machines, so I have two sets of the same database (over 100,000 emails) (three if you count Gmail's dataset). If I add or delete an email on one machine, it synchs with Gmail, which synchs with the other machine. It works fairly well but not perfectly. Is there any way to make the "Local Directory" for Message Storage some kind of shared file rather than a folder on the local machine?

Hi SInce upgrading my Thunderbird to the latest version, I cannot show the full body of search results which are in the local folders. When I select a specific email on a date shown tries to display the body but the screen is completely empty. If I browse the same local folders I can view bodies perfectly. The workaround I am using is to note the date of the emails I've found from the search and then find them individually by browsing the folder contents.

The little paperclip attachment button has vanished from my inbox and all my attachments have disappeared. I've tried googling for a solution but I don't understand the techie stuff and I need to do my tax form and information I need for it is in some of these attachements that have vanished and my husband is away and I can't reach him and I'm totally desperate. I'm in such a panic I can't think. The little red X marks where the paperclip button was but it's gone now and I just can't think how I can meet the deadline for the tax form and so much vital information has just vanished and I don't know what to do. I'm desperate I don't understand the techie stuff when I google and I don't know what to do Can anyone please help me get them back or are they gone for ever? I'm desperate I'm snowed in on the farm and no one can come to help me and I'm just in such a panic

My wife has both work & personal accounts on Thunderbird. She is experiencing sending mail in her work account. The personal account is fine. She get an error message mf-204. (authenticated connections only. please check that you email address is correct in account settings) None of her settings have changed, but it suddenly won't allow outgoing mail. Any suggestions on how to correct this?? Can I set up a new account and just transfer all of the old folders into it?

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro with several form-fillable fields. All multi-line fields were created with the "long text scrolling" feature in Acrobat turned off, and all fields are locked.

However, when I email the form using Thunderbird and open it in Thunderbird (versus save and open in Adobe), all of the multi-line fields now allow text scrolling. As an example, I want only 5 lines of text to be entered in a particular box on the form, and Acrobat Pro and Reader perform correctly and limit the number of lines to 5. But when I email the form and open it in Thunderbird, I can enter unlimited lines of text.

As this form will be primarily emailed to recipients, I want to be sure the line limitation survives emailing. Is there a setting in Thunderbird I'm missing when sending, or opening the form?

Thanks

I currently use Mitchell 1 Teamworks Invoice Software to send emails to customers for vehicle repairs. Mithchell 1 uses Thunderbird. Unfortunetly I am unable to send emails and was hoping for a solution. Thunderbird is currently set up as my default email.

All of a sudden 4-5 days ago I no longer can receive my Washington Post, only way is to scroll way down to last known one. What in blazes is going on at Tbird? Who is responsible? Is there anyone who can put it back at once? Yes my subscription is valid. If all of you refuse my small request, it means I have to PAY my own tech support, which is not fair of you. I don't care who messed it up; I only want my paper back NOW. I have noticed that Tbird is now run by volonteers; is that the problem? PLEASE help. Thank you
