Hi

I have endured weeks of Thunderbird conflicting with Hotmail.

Occassionally it works.

Today is another 'no go' day cannot trans or recieve. Hotmail online works but not Thunderbird.

What is going on at Mozilla ?

I have all my accounts set to send only text/plain messages. But in the message composer, an entire toolbar row (disabled until editor has focus) appears at the head. It should go away, not appear, be hidden.

What would you do if I formatted the message since the account setting is "always plain text?" Unknown.

Also, an entire toolbar line is devoted to presenting "Variables" and "Other" dropdowns. Just two buttons, both of which I will not use in my lifetime.

Removing these spurious items will make the UI more legible, less distracting, professional.

Thanks for the great products. Been using since v 1.0, along side Mosaic, Netscape, and FF.

Just this week I can no longer access email via Thunderbird. My ISP (CenturyLink) warns that my account is being "processed" and please stand by. This has persisted for several days, with no change. I have twice contacted CenturyLink (Help Chat) - They tell me everything is fine on their end, and that I need to follow up with Mozilla. So, here I am. Any ideas for a fix? Many thanks for your help!

Recently something changed in my e-mail which I have used for years in conjunction with G-mail hosted accounts / service (google workspace). I do not know if I clicked the wrong setting or what in either... I just know that I cannot see any emails over 30 days in any folder - regardless. And now many folders show no emails in because of no emails have been sent or received within the past 30 days in them. These store many "deals in the works" and notes from pasty dealings... I really need to access these but do not know how or where to find them... any help you can offer?

I'm 65 and have used this email for about 20 plus years... off and on have had problems that I have been able to get through but cannot get this one solved? Help!!

Thunderbird 115.0.1 display glitches

I always thought that some of the best advice is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This concerns aspects of 102.13.0 that worked fine, but are glitchy in 115.0.1.

I use Thunderbird to archive from Hotmail (Outlook), AOL, AT&T's Currently (a Yahoo front), and GMail. I am also having to abandon Hotmail (Outlook) because of the characteristic haphazard programming that Microsoft practices, so I have been moving folder contents, sometimes many messages, at a time.

I see that the visual indicators in 115.0.1 is glitchy. I just selected a brace of about 817 emails in a Hotmail folder to be moved to the locally stored Thunderbird folder. After having higlighted the range, when I drag to the Thunderbird folder, only one file shows as being moved, but it stays visible in the source window *and* displays a weak-flash around that one file in the source window.

If I look elsewhere, I can see indication that the files are being moved, but the quirky flashing really looks like there is some error.

When the files to be moved finally all disappear from the source window, I then get a notification that slides in from the top right, saying, "The operation on XXXX failed because there was" and this is the *next* problem, because (1) the window is too small to display the complete message, (2) it slides away much too quickly to be read at a normal pace, (3) there is no way to retrieve and read the complete message, and (4) the movement of emails HAS, in fact, been completed.

This program is deeply flawed. It's slow & must be rebooted multiple times a day. Then at times it works just fine. What's the problem & how to fix? The address book doesn't show what folder you put a contact in. The old version did. This is a flaw too.

The update to Thunderbird 115.0.1 broke the "Unified folders".

I have two eMail accounts: - the first on a custom server, I do not know its characteristics - the second is an Office365 institutional account

Only the account on the on the custom server is shown in the Unified Folders.

The second account is shown as a folder in the Unified Folders pane, at the same level as "Archives", "Junk" and "Deleted".

I have tested one solution reported to be working: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1003446

It does not work in my case.

Any help?
