Thunderbird Support Forum

When I try to create a filter there is no "OK" button, so obviously filter can't be created. I tried the command % sudo rm ~Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/vwybotat.default % session.json Got the response zsh: no such user or named directory: Library

What I have in mind is to be able to play a special sound when I receive a message from a particular sender in Thunderbird, sort of like a specific ringtone for a caller on a phone. I have someone whose e-mails I need to respond to ASAP, but I also need to work otherwise undisturbed on my computer.

Does such an add-on exist? If not, would someone consider creating one?

Thank you!

I'd like to disable Send in TB. I prefer to send my outgoing emails via a Send Later function into Outgoing Mail so I can double-check I'm sending to the correct outgoing email address. Can I do this? If Yes, how?

My Thunderbird emails are fine directly on my laptop, but when I attach an external monitor everything becomes to pixelated I cannot easily read my email If I restart Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode with no addons or themes, it gets much better, but I use the add ons!

The Thunderbird Inbox is a mess..... Everything has lots of room, except the actual message. Mine is about 1" tall! How can I either fix the problem or go back to the previous version? Please bear in mind that I am not a very good problem solver, so I will need a step-by-step solution. Thank you.

I have two units operating with Mozilla program.

On one of them I can only see mails from the last 30 days. On the other one, 10 years.

How do I prevent the delete after 30 days?

Hi there,

I am stressed by notifications and e-mail sync during all day. Is it possible to only allow sync during specific time e.g. 12-15 or only on specific days?

If possible with different settings for different accounts.

I think there should be an add-on for that but I have not managed to find it. Do you know about it?

I am trying out Thunderbird and find that It will not add new folders when using Comcast email. Thunderbird will add new folders to Gmail.

But here is the curious part: I can add a folder when using the Comcast web site and Windows 10 native email client will also add a folder to Comcast so the issue must be within Thunderbird somehow.

Has anyone experienced this and solved this problem. This is a rather large road block for me to continue with Thunderbird.

Thanks for any help.

Hi everybody,

this will be my 3rd attempt to illustrate a problem due to Thunderbird (see also ticket 124176, 12-23-2023 and resubmission: ticket 125893, 01-02-2024).

On 01-04-2024 I again got the message to resubmit my question by going to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form and entering my Mozilla account information, what literally happens now.

My problem with Mozilla Thunderbird occured after I transfered the account of my wife (katharina@dr-ristic.de) to my pc in order to chance the related password as all the others of my accounts.

By doing so I suddenly found my personal folder (including inbox- and outbox-folder) shifted from my primary ac-count (thomas@dr-ristic.de) and attached to my wife’s account (katharina@dr-ristic.de).

Up to now it was possible to shift back nearly 80% of these folders until I got the message: OVERQUOTA and that any adding of datas would exceed my storage quota (2147559282>2147483648), as well the storage is occupid 100% (2,0 GB).

I would appreciate if you could help me to solve this problem by extending the storage for example, so my personal folder will functioning as it did up to now. I do not want to delete any of my datas in the folders.

I am looking forward to your problem solving advices and wish you all the best Thomas

When I type (c) in Thunderbird it autmotically changes to the copyright symbol. Also, when I type the number 100 Thunderbird changes it to a red symbol. How can I stop this from happening?

The problem is Mom sees just well enough to resize things and then they never go back. So I'll remotely login to her computer and see the message tree view has been resized to most of her viewable area with little left over for viewing the actual email message.

I am a developer and have tweaked her userChrome.css file in many ways to make things more readable. This is one of the last remaining frontiers for me.

How can I either lock in the size I set her messages panel or set a default size from userChrome.css so even if she resizes it, it will default to the userChrome.css size upon opening.

I've created a video to give you an idea of the problem.

I'm still running Thunderbird 52.9.1 (the last version before the WebExtensions apocalypse), primarily because of the AttachmentExtractor add-on (and also the Junquilla add-on). I use it to extract all attachments and inline images from a group of emails, saved with the file modification date matching the email date, so they are in correct chronological order on my hard drive.

Is there any substitute for this that works with a modern Thunderbird version?

Hello,

i just downloaded new beta version on one of our computers. It works fine but the label colors are not on the list like it was before. I can see color assigned to a label only when i highlight a message on list in inbox but i want thunderbird to show color on the list for every message that have label assigned (like it was before) . Can i do i it in this version or not?

Hi Thunderbird; I am a financial contributor to your great e-mail program. One irksome issue I would like to see resolved to have a pop up asking"are you sure you want to do this" when moving e-mail subfolders two and more tiers down from one subfolder to another. I have over 100 e-mail subfolders in our company e-mail program and many more beneath those. Many times I will drag and drop e-mails directly from my inbox screen into subfolders in the left pane.(rather than using the "move" command) Occasionally I do not keep pressure on my left mouse button to do this. (I know , my fault). Instead of moving the specific e-mail(s), I now inadvertantly pick up a subfolder and drop it in a different folder, not realizing I have done this. When I finally realize the errant folder is not where it supposed to be( sometimes a day or two later), I spend a fair amount of time tracking it down and moving it back to it's original position.

Having a pop up message asking me if I really want to do this would be helpful and I'm sure would be appreciated by others who have 'lost' folders in a similar fashion.

Would be great to see in your upcoming supernova version 115 Thanks for considering this

Hello

My pEp has been working fine for a year or so. I last used it about 1month ago, i did an OS update on my mac a week ago.... Today pEp stopped working saying internal error when trying to send a pEp message. See attachment.

I can send non pEp emails fine, I can receive non pEp emails fine. I am unable to decrypt pEp msgs atm.

I started out by trying to remove the extension. That failed so i had to remove via finder, library folder>profile etc…

reinstalled no change.

Uninstalled thunderbird, reinstalled thunderbird, reinstalled pEp. No change.

OS - Montery 12.6 Thunderbird - 102.4.2 (64-bit) pEp - 1.1.114

I have sent an email to pEp support, but my question to this forum is:

I used the troubleshoot mode, i left extension on and when it restarted it showed the extension as "on". However the extension did not run so i could not review the fault condition relating to the internal error.

I am certainly not an expert on the troubleshoot process but i was hoping that I may have gained some more info about the "internal error" message that may help.

Am i missing something in the process or should I expect the ext to work and give me something to work with?

Thanks in advance.
