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

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'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?

I'm only seeing the first email in a conversation if I look in the email inbox. I can see the conversation in the search results if I search for a string contained within the email. But if I just look at my emails in the inbox it looks like I never replied to the email and that she never replied to my reply.

I want to make default massage in the end of my mails. I want to have message as listed below every time I click on tab write. How exactly do I do this? This is default format: -- S poštovanjem Nebojša Sabatuš "ALAT NS" D.O.O. 021-4736-140 021-402-517 021-2702-330 063-107-1700 www.alatns.rs

My charter and gmail inboxes show I have new messages but they don't show up so I can read them, unless I repair the inbox, which I have to do everytime I enter. This began suddenly yesterday. I've considered uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, but do I lose the messages I already have?

I have Thunderbird 91.9 I have 4 email accounts only 1 is having the receive problem. here is a link to my Pastebin https://pastebin.com/u/Danorske Attached is a pix. Any other info you need? Thanks Ron

Please tell me how to make the apps coordinate again. When I click a link in an email, FireFox Nightly opens the link. When I attempt to return to TB, it is not in the task bar and Alt Tab does not show it. Task Manager shows TB but Switch To is greyed out. If I attempt to return to N, it is not in the task bar, is in TM and Switch To is greyed out. Both are fully updated, I ran SFC /scannow which did not find corruption.

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

How can we help? good question. I have a suggestion, dont set peoples email accounts to delete emails after 120 days.

Thanks to the retention policy setting being set by im not sure who (I would not consciously set this setting as I have been backing my emails up for years)

Years of emails have been deleted without my knowledge (until now) thanks to this setting. I dont know how it was set, whether it was during an update or something but because of this I have lost years of emails, numerous purchase receipts, customer information and conversations, attachments, etc ALL GONE AND DELETED

I have spent years backing up emails to then have one setting wipe them all out without my knowledge or approval. As my back ups overwrite the previous one and I was not aware this setting was set, my backups have been wiped out as well.

Thanks a lot mozilla.

You have no idea how insanely angry I am right now.
