Hi, I use Firefox since more than a decade and till aprox. 4 weeks it worked perfectly. Since then the following happens:

These are my settings

  • I have thunderbird on my local laptop
  • have outlook on my mobile phone
  • I use gmx-mail

I did not change anything reg. Settings on my mobile, in GMX or in thunderbird

I can download all my mails. In my local inbox on my computer, I delet mails. IN THE PAST: after deleting mails in my local inbox, they were also deleted in GMX and on my mobile SINCE aprox. 4 weeks: on my local laptop, mails are deleted (or moved to a local folder) - in GMX and on my mobile phone with outlook, the mails stay in the inbox.

It seems that the inbox is only synchronised with showing new mails from the server, but not with deleting or moving mails.

In this way it is impossible to organize myselfe since the inbox on my phone / in GMX is overflowing.

Thanks for your help, Oliver

Using multiple profiles. Checked work offline. Thunderbird opens to a page asking me to "Setup Your Existing Email Account" when I'm attempting to open an old email account.

The server settings have changed since this profile was used. Thunderbird is giving this error message: Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

Why is Thunderbird asking me to do this and trying to connect to the server when I requested to work offline?

Hello I'm currently in need of configuring all of the clients with the Root CA certificate needed to use our new proxy server. I've seen that Thunderbird uses its own certificate repository, but there is yet a configuration option for reading Windows machine's own store, called security.enterprise_roots.enabled . This could be the best option since my users work on shared windows terminal servers. Is there a way to deploy this setting to all users? (I haven't found a GPO template for Thunderbird with this setting) I think I could create a logon script to copy a default user.js to every profile folder, but I don't know where the system could read the profiles path (multiple for most of the users).

thanks

For the last few weeks emails in my inbox disappear after 2 weeks. Just from sues@getwell.org.uk and not from my other address sue.saunders@myphone.coop This is happening on all devices where I view emails - laptop, tablet, iphone and even when I go to the webmail on 123-reg where my getwell.org.uk domain is registered. I have talked with 123-reg and they can't work it out - said it must be something to do with Mozilla. Can you help please - there's info in those emails I need!! Many thaks Sue

I turn off threading in my inbox. It turns itself back on.

There is a plentiful supply of discussion here about the inept enforced threading which happened on an update. There is a lot of info on turning it off with view ->sort-> etc etc.

But it turns itself back on.

Threading is ghastly, I don't ever want to see it, but accepting that someone somewhere likes it, at least make sure that when it is turned off it stays off.

Horrible.

Running 115.5.0 and want to export my contact list to be able to use it in a spreadsheet. The export function in the Tools dropdown only allows for export of "accounts, messages, address books and settings to a ZIP file." What happened to the ability to export just the address book separately to a csv file? Please help. Thank you.

spent a long time typing a complex mail, and due to the way the new version (115.5.0) does things, the outgoing address had a . on the end of it that wasn't visible, because it was obscured by a note that the send address wasn't in the address book, For years, I've had used BCC to get a copy back into my inbox, but now, with this latest version, if the send fails, it also doesn't forward the copy, so a mail that took over an hour to create is now lost due to the failure of the system, before now, a fail due to invalid address returned the item, so at least the body of the mail wasn't lost.

NOT impressed, this means I now have to change my system in order to not lose items by using the BCC option, it meant I knew that the server had processed the mail, now, I've no way to be sure it has truly been sent.
