Thunderbird Support Forum

Until recently my Thunderbird displayed a red count badge showing the number of unread messages. This badge has disappeared sometime during the last few days. I have been unable to fix it.

I have made sure the "Show Badge Icon" box is checked in the "App Icon Options" setting.

I am running Thunderbird 115.8.1 (32-bit). (PS: I am not sure why it is the 32-bit version).

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

When I reply to a message TB adds Re: at the start of the subject line. I have always found this annoying and have to delete Re: Is there any way I can stop it adding the Re: ?

Incoming emails create a Notification popup. Not sure if this is TB 78.15.0 esr or Apple OSX, but I've done the things needed to stop both, AFAIK:

TB Prefs / chat / general / when msgs directed at you arrive... / unchecked it all

In OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Prefs / notifications / TB 60.9.1 / unchecked all the stuff for TB Alert Style However, when I just went there to write the above, it was all back to being toggled ON.

Hi,

I am creating a thunderbird extension for cryptography. My JavaScript code contains libraries such as tweetnacl, crystals-kyber and crypto-browserify. I bundled my code using browserify in hopes of getting it working within thunderbird. My code is working when run within VScode using node.js.

I encounter the error that 'webcrypto' is undefined. I assume this means that thunderbird cannot support webcrypto, which I think crypto-browserify is reliant on.

Is there any way to get webcrypto and therefore crypto-browserify working within thunderbird? Or alternatively are there any alternative thunderbird-compatible libraries that can perform the same functions? This would need to include Key Derivation Functions for example.

Thanks

Hi,

TB 115.8.1 on OpenSUSE 15.5, rpm based install. KDE/Plasma.

Had to install MS EDGE, as unfortunately one urgently needed device's firmware based webserver works only very restricted with Firefox. Firefox is defined as default browser. And is used by every apps, except TB.

-> TB opens every link in MS Edge, now. Which is definitively NOT want I want :)

Found this link (German): https://www.torstenkelsch.de/blog/2022/internet/emailclients/den-webbrowser-in-thunderbird-aendern/ which descibes the as it should work way, setting file type based rules for "file type" 'http'. Or also this: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/hyperlinks-nachrichten-funktionieren-nicht

-> No entry exists for "http", so no settings possible.

network.protocol-handler.external-default was and is still set to TRUE

As "file type" is missing, searched and found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1330147 which is from 2021:

-> Checked that in fact there's no entry for "http" in my profile's "handlers.json"

As the last mentioned article is pretty old, 3 years, and archived, my questions:

-> is the missing "http" file type a bug? If so, TB in general or specific to my OpenSUSE based version? If so, I report this for OpenSUSE (only) -> If not a bug: Is editing "handlers.json" still the only way to solve this? -> As there's no entry for http, and Firefox is used by all other apps: Why/how is TB calling Edge instead?

Thanks in advance, Michael

I am a totally blind user and I really need the View > Sort By > From menu option in Thunderbird 115 to be changed from disabled to enabled. I am strictly a keyboard user and I can't find instructions to do this that don't involve using a mouse. Can someone please provide instructions on how to activate this sort option using only the keyboard? It is possible, once I have the keyboard focus on the right place, for me to emulate mouse clicks using the keyboard with my JAWS 2024 version screen reader. I've been banging my head on my desk in frustration over this for some time now. Changing this menu option did not make Thunderbird easier to use, especially for blind users. Changes like this have the opposite impact on accessibility. Otherwise, I love this program!

I have a large number of message filters which divert messages to folders on Subject. So messages I sent were diverted to those folders on sending. Mea Culpa

Emails I send to a X@yahoo.co.uk are not saved in my default sent folder. I have checked the setting in Account Settings. If I send to Y@other CC X@yahoo.co.uk , the message does get saved. I am using POP to send/receive emails.

This seems to have started in December 2023.

I am using Thunderbird 115.8.0 running in Debian Buster.

I would really appreciate a solution to this isssue. Thanks

I've added 1 Gmail account and 2 outlook accounts on thunderbird today. Thunderbird synced Google calendar and contacts, but it failed to do the same for the Outlook accounts. It did not detect outlook calendar and contacts. Kindly help me to fix the issue.

Is there a hidden interface flag/control to adjust if (or how quickly) the spring-loaded folders pop open? On the old MacBook Pro my wife uses they spring open immediately, pushing the mailbox she wants to drop the selected messages into up and down out of view and often the messages drop into some random folder and she has to go looking for where they wound up.

Thunderbird 115.5.0 on MacOS 10.12

Dear Team,

There are two problems i found out in in newer version of thunderbird.

1) When we try to forward message, we never get space to write and it comes with different fonts and preformat, when we click it to Body text it comes with preformat automatically without our given command to Body text. Kindly fix it so we could use more comfortably.

2) When we get email sent by ourselves we click on edit as new see 2nd pick, when we click from 2nd account, signatures comes from new account, in previous version when we use CTRL Z, signature's were vanished, so we were more comfortable with that version, see pick 3 and now we delete manually which comes with extra space.

I previously commented on same but no response. Could you please able to solve this issue?

cloned my old good SSD to a bigger one, everything works just fine but Thunderbird new mail composition font is stuck on Bold no matter what I try. Any solutions, please? thank you, Rad.

Today Thunderbird began to display e-mail in a very different way. E-mail is now being displayed in two (top and bottom) panes on the left. There had been only one before. The top pane seems to have very extensive "Header"(?) information I am able to scroll through about 80 lines. For example: RvqJAUcWLDsHMFDfnGYGOXezVFGgF6O_2gSu4AdcwNVA6VcB 4VkQZtPJ1zYpRwikamfQhCH6CDwYU0t1bb0x4aqv9emhalBlAaQFLyAgHRbf zUV1fp5RMcqRyIcq1MBHGHpvwJK.YkVhbdrXlG2wUxkpEqgh3gzSOXwsA0RO 6MPyV_KyWFe9ocTWNB2I_N0pAkYCdwjfs0tdbddWxtpMbmY6hWzuMTHcd3x1 EUKjlM1Up4tGcgfxDT660CHdKXrsBGqpuF9alts0MrVfZ1cNvRZZ.9fSmT.x 7khrAYljhB45I07htl2B4QkH1mycWHZ52sdZzDEDQVF4CdhqxkVITK1W2LeY dW_3L44wnfYsPI2KSXP9_NRzBPc21Yy.sl2byo_DFLS0etpJRxWPj2SEmNBt YR3KBKl_iLIVn0kb1D5Tu4kkmOubczeYmRqeKAbz91IcQce1R8JC8uoM4laY

The bottom pane has just the e-mail text.

When I print the e-mail all the Header Lines print followed by the text. I have PDFs displaying the problem but am not able to send PDF files. How do I convert them to images

Where is the setting to stop the display and printing of he "Header" information. I have no memory of doing anything that might have caused the new display

Hi,

When I sent an email, I use this addon "#tbkeys" to add the file name of the attachment in the body email. Is there a way to automatically add the name of the attachment, without using a shortcut ?

and this is the code for shortcut key...

1. tbkeys

{"ctrl+3": "(function () { var bucket = window.document.getElementById('attachmentBucket'); var names = []; for (var i = 0; i < bucket.getRowCount(); i++) names.push('• '+bucket.getItemAtIndex(i).getAttribute('name')); window.goDoCommandParams('cmd_smiley','This is Attachement name :

'+ names.join('
')); })();"}

Als ik de mail open en er staat een mail geopend, kan ik niet de ingekomen mails openen. Pas als ik eerst een ander item ipv postvak in open, kan ik pas weer op postvak in e.e.a. bekijken. Hoe verhelp ik dat?

Thunderbird 115.8: RSS message body reverts back to "Summary" after setting view as "Web Page" after exiting program and starting it back up again. What am I doing wrong? Running Windows 11 23H2.

Dear Mozilla, My email folder inbox says I have 1 new email, but I cannot find the email in the inbox window. Even when I filter for new messages I can't find it.

Also my new message count used to be blue. Now it is grey. But then goes back to blue when other emails come in.

Not sure if I accidentally blocked an email address or changed some settings. How can I fix this?

Thank you

Hello to all, I am having a real challenge with the latest version(s) of Thunderbird (115.8.1) on Windows 10 (i7 with 16Gbs Ran, 1TB SSD)

Background... Have been trying to add some accounts from a domain and this is where it seems to got astray. Added one account (acc#1) some time ago. At that time there was some issues at the time with the changing of the mail servers and the old provider. Left it partially entered within Thunderbird. With that, waited for a week or two to re-add these addresses. The one left was still there, redid the server settings, and added several other addresses from that domain. All seemed to be working just fine at that point... So closed out Thunderbird and shutdown the computer.

Upon rebooting the computer and opening Thunderbird... The account that was partially entered was there, but with the old incorrect settings. The other addresses were no where to be found.

Each time I shutdown Thunderbird and either restart or turn on the computer, the old (acc#1) is still there but with the incorrect settings. Have tried to delete it but it keeps coming back.

Assistance with this would be appreciated...

Do occasionally run CCleaner on this computer... could that be causing any of these issues?

As in subject I changed a control and do not understand the symbols on top plus need to get unread messages first and do not want sent messages in a tier that is to the same person. thanks
