Every year in this season Thunderbird ESR(!!!) switches to a new version. Every year the new version is a lot worse of previous. Every year it introduces a lot of cosmetical changes that tha majority of users haven't requested nor approve. You're incompetent developers. You're ignorant men.

This version has changed a setting: I don't want that Thunderbird update itself automatically but you think that you know what it's better for me! You are morons! Regards

I'm seeing this on only one of two TBird 115 PCs: on the first, in the message list, when I double-click to read the message, there's a delay of about three seconds before the message header appears, and above the subject, there's an icon and the sender's display name, and also, on a second line, the sender's address.

On the other installation, there's no icon, and the display name and the sender's address are on one line above the subject. I have no idea why the first PC has this two-line-plus-icon layout for the senders of messages. I can't find any settings that will get rid of the icon and the two-line display.

For the release version of TB 115.0

The quickfilter is broken is a particular manner:

   some characters can be entered in the quickfilter-box.
   other characters (i.e. 'r', 'o'  the reply-shortcut key?) fail to be inserted/loses focus, and instead the reply- or open-message-action is initiated for the selected message.

I have not tested this extensively, but the issue shows up on my Win10 32-bit system

I don't think I can properly explain but I will try. I just got the latest version of Thunderbird and now the look of the messages in the inbox are very compacted. In the previous version, the visual look and spacing of the messages in the inbox were more spaced out and easier to read.

Is there a way to fix this through a font change or add on? I can't handle squished messages.

I run Thunderbird 102.13.0 (32 bit) on W10 Home. After Thunderbird updated late last week I have been having problems sending emails with my work Microsoft Outlook Office365 account (no such problems up to last Thursday 13 July) : Emails with just a couple of words in the body arrive but with nothing in the body. Emails with just a couple of words in the body and a text file attached arrive but with nothing in the body and without the attachment. Emails with just a couple of words in the body and a Excel file attached fail to send at all (error message). No such problems sending emails via the Office 365 web portal. I have Exquilla installed and its licence is current. Tried removing the Outlook account and re-installing it, but this made no difference. Temporarily disabling my ESET NOD32 AV software made no difference either. Tearing my hair out. Would anyone have any ideas on how to fix this ?

TB version: 115.1.0 (64-bit) Windows 10 (corporate laptop)

Fresh laptop, fresh install of TB.

When trying to connect email@example.com (not really my email), TB correctly detects that my domain is hosted at Google, configures IMAP and SMTP for OAuth2, and pops up the window to authenticate.

Instead of an authentication prompt, I'm met with this error:

URL: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=<CHOMP>aq8lmia8j<CHOMP>.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2F+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fcarddav+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fcalendar&login_hint=user%40example.com

Text: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.

Hi,

This just started tonight: I'm running TBird 115. I have several email accounts downloading to a unified local folder. With previous versions, I could click on the Download email icon and select individual accounts to download. I can't find an option for downloading individual accounts in the 115 GUI. Is that gone?

I have 2 problems with the TB Inbox.

1. When a message is marked as read and I go to another folder, the message is gone when I return to the inbox. The missing message is not in trash or any other folder. Edit> Undo Delete Message does not recover the message either.

2. The Inbox header shows 216 messages but the Inbox is empty and contains no messages.

Using Repair Folder does not sole the problems. There are no add-ons in place.

Any suggestions on how to resolve these issues would be appreciated.

my Thunderbird automatically updated on Wednesday: 'Version 115.2.3, first offered to channel users on September 20, 2023'. I have just received my 1st email with an attachment but the buttons that were previously displayed permitting me to save the attachment are no longer there - so I can't download attachments.

This applies to all previous emails received with attachments not just today's one. The attachment is there and downloadable on webmail but not when it reaches my Thunderbird client.

What has happened please, and how do I access attachments?

Thanks - Anthony Rae

Hi! Love Thunderbird to bits, and the new updated interface is sooooooooo nice! Thank you ALL!

But I can not seem to find a way to go to the Start Page, other than restarting Thunderbird.

The Go Menu mentioned in the article below is not there anymore. And I can not find a Home button when customizing the toolbars.

Is this a me problem, or something that will be added as we go along?

was recently forced to upgrade to winblows 11.. in the previous version of Thunderbird, 102.2 64 bit, I could follow these instructions to background colors in the various panes .

 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}

  1. folderTree > treechildren {
 font-size: 16pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;

Can I get back to the main layout as it was prior to the Supernova update?

I LIKE the list of correspondents and being able to simply click the dot to mark something as unread etc. etc. etc. Things like this allow me to group and highlight things I need t address.

Truly - the layout in Supernova is terrible and, h0nesty, after many many years as a loooong tie TBird user (like since early-mid 90's) I'm probably going to look around for something else if I'm stuck with this supernova layout.

thanks

My Thunderbird just got updated to v. 115, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 with KDE/Plasma 5.18. I have two questions, one of which is possibly a bug.

1. The new layout places a lot of buttons in the window title. How do I remove them? I'd like a standard window title like most of the other app (say, Okular) have.

2. My window manager works with focus-follows-mouse, and a window is raised whenever I click on the window borders or title. With Thunderbird 115 that doesn't work anymore: if the Thunderbird window is partly below some other window, and I click on its borders or title, it is *not* raised. How to fix this? Should I report a bug?

Cheers!
