Thunderbird Support Forum

Hello I have noticed that global Thunderbird search (Ctlr+K) does not index email subjects. So, if I search for keyword which is present only in email subject and not in email body, then search does not return result. If I'm in correct folder and use quick search (Ctrl+Shift+K) with search by subject enabled then it find this email.

Is there any way to search globally by keywords in subject?

How often does Thunderbird log irc chat? Does it log on an interval or only when the application closes? I ask because I saw that some messages from the sever in response to a /whois didn't get logged.

The user interface is really confusing. There is a X right on top which closes Thunderbird. In the statusbanner every mail occurs with the title and an X to remove it from the banner.

Until that point no problem.

But I keep my archive on my NAS server as .eml files. When I open one of them they do't appear in the opened Thunderbird, but in e new window with the X for closing ricght in the top..

So when I am reading my new e-mails and want to open an old one it is in a new window with the close X right on top. Moving around between new and archived mails is confusing. The new mails mus be closed on the banner and the archived mails right on the top. Which means that during working like that I close Thunderbird itself many times, have to restart the profile again etc. Not very speed improving.

I see two options: First: open arhived e-mail not as an extra window but within the mail screen second: make it possible to point to a local map within "local maps", or make it possible to archive in local maps outside Thinderbird, hence in any local map on my computer (or NAS server) Then the user interface with a banner for opened e-mails is similar for archived mail and new ones.

Most of my emails received in Thunderbird have a large amount of HTML script in the message are box, just under the usual from, to, date, subject, etc. It is very irritating and unnecessary. How can I stop this from happening?

Below is what I could copy from one emai; note that I was unable to copy the labels (Message ID:, etc. ) in the box to the left of this data--

Hello, I exported all my Thunderbird data, including adressbooks in an export file called: Thunderbird_profile_backup...then I uninstalled Thunderbird, because changes needed to made in the incoming and ourgoing mail settings. I downloaded Thunderbird again and installed it, entered the new settings and all my emails came back in. But I still need to import my address book which I did not save in a csv. file. It is in Thunderbird_profile_backup... I sse files in there like this filename: abook.sqlite.... Do you know how I can import my addressbooks from Thunderbird_profile_backup.? with many thanks

Never had this before - "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

Until this afternoon, the emails I wrote all had a word wrap at 72 characters. Now I get a long line of text without the wrapping. I can not locate any place in the settings (an area which I usually avoid because I don't know what half of those switches will do).

I'm old (80) and old school to boot, so please be clear in providing me with the steps I need to take to restore that 72-character wrap. Thanks for any (and all) suggestions.

Jim

P.S. Yes, I am a BitWrangler as I started with assembly on an IBM360 in 1982.

I recently migrated to a new PC and I'm trying to figure out how i got this behavior to work on my old one.

I have most of my main email folder structure as folders and subfolders in the "My Email. This is representative of my main email (lets say jeremy@jeremy.com for this example)

Now that I've moved over to the new computer and imported my settings, instead of the jeremy@jeremy.com email going to the My Email folder, it goes to a jeremy@jeremy.com folder.

There is no jeremy@jeremy.com folder showing on my old computer.

Is there a way to do this short of adding a filter to move messages as they come in?

I am getting no confirmation when I am deleting messages from the search results screen.

Reproduction steps

1. Write something findable to the search field (at the top) and press Enter
2. Select Show results as list
3. Select one or more messages
4. Press Shift+Delete

Expected behavior

A dialog window Confirm Deletion should appear just like when I am deleting messages directly from mailboxes.

Actual behavior

The message is deleted immediately.

Whenever I add an emoji from the list to a message, it does not appear where my cursor is, it appears in the Subject line. It wasn't always like this, but I don't remember which update brought it on. Is there a fix for it? Usually subsequent emojis go where I tell them to, but the first one never does.

I know that in the great scheme of things, this is a pretty trivial problem, but it's a little irritation every time I add an emoji to a message. Anyone else have this happen? Or have a solution? Thanks!

I think the problem started when I clicked on OpenPGP Key Manager on my Gmail account. Now I am just getting an error message at https://accounts.google.com/_/bscframe and I can't use that email address on Thunderbird. I have uninstalled the email account and reinstalled it, but it has not helped. I still get the error message. Can you help me?

I have Thunderbird configured to save draft emails in encrypted form. Today, I wanted to send someone one of my draft emails so I right clicked it and selected "Forward As" > "Attachment", however the person reported they couldn't read the email.

I've forwarded the email to myself and could reproduce that Thunderbird only shows an empty body and a crossed out lock at the "OpenPGP" button with the message "Message Cannot Be Decrypted".

I have a folder with many saved emails. When I "search messages" on "body" in this folder, I do not receive an accurate result. I receive accurate accurate results when I search on "subject" or "from". Is there a reason (or setting) of which I am unaware? Thanks very much for your help.

Suddenly my incoming messages are not arriving though outgoing ones go normally. When prompted to inout my password, which I've changed in my provider (BT), I'm told it has failed. Any suggestions?

For the last few days, I am receiving only about 80% of the emails sent to me on my Thunderbird email. I receive the other emails on my ISP Squirrelmail web portal.

I have not set up any message filters on my Thunderbird email.

My old computer died, so this is a brand new thunderbird install on a brand new computer.

When I click a hyperlink url in an email (or the default welcom window), nothing happens.

I checked that the default web browser was Firefox in windows, but I also changed it to Chrome to give it a kick.

I also went into the advanced preferences to make sure network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https were set to true (but also checked with false). After each change, I closed TB and relaunched.

Under "Settings", in "Content Type", for http and https, I tried both "Always ask" and "use Firefox (default)". I restarted TB after each change.

I have searched this forum and for some reason, I just cannot find a solution. I would screen capture an error or whatever, but literally nothing happens when I click on any hyperlink.

Any help would be appreciated.
