This is NOT Thunderbird but a whole new program and it's terrible!

Something this dramatic is NOT AN UPDATE!

It's very poor configuration and does not function anything close to what was before.

SOOOO MANY THINGS ARE WRONG AND DON'T WORK RIGHT.

The older version would be an IMPROVEMENT to this set up!

Please don't cop an attitude like we don't know. WE DO KNOW!

This is NOT BETTER.

PLEASE RESTORE THE OLDER VERSION AND LET US CHOOSE!

i SO REGRET THAT ID ALLOWED THIS, HAVING TRUSTED YOU.

I have been trying to use Paypal to donate to Thunderbird. It just keeps giving error message "something went wrong" The Contact Us link on the Donations page didnt work either so I had to fiddle around getting to this page. Also sent question to an Admin. Very frustrating

This bug was reported 28 days ago and has yet to be resolved. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1857734

The temporary fix for the unpopulated unified folders including the Sent folder, and the issues with missing messages, some showing up in individual folders and not the unified folder and vice versa were just that, temporary fixes. Yesterday, the Sent folder was back to being unpopulated, and the individual folders containing my important and starred messages were all open for some mysterious reason. How this happened out of the blue is also a mystery, because I was not notified of an upgrade. If upgrades are installing on my computer without my permission, this is completely unacceptable. This is a subject that needs to be taken seriously at this point.

I asked this but never got any response via email so will ask again. I have Thunderbird on my desktop and a laptop, both running Win 10. They both have the same rev level of Thunderbird. Looking at my email, if I click on a new message once it shows it as read which is what at I want.. On my desktop I have to open up every message to show it as read which is a pain. I know you can also go though and set message to showing as being read but the single click method is must faster. My laptop worked that way at one time but no longer. 80% of my new messages i know basically what is in them but want to save them so just want to show them read by the one click method which is very simple. I have compared settings and cannot find anything different between the two but obviously there is. Any suggestions on how to make the desktop work like the laptop? Single click for read.

I shut down my PC for 3 days early July, -rebooted on july 5 , new version of Thunderbird was installed since then I cannot complete the new configuration - agrees the account is good, but fails to complete. I have replaced the new version w/ newest version on july 12 , same result - cannot complete setup , fails w/ error message "Unable to login at server- probably configuration , user name or password "

I've used Thunderbird (TB) for years and have never been asked for a password until about two weeks ago. Tb is now contually requesting password but it won't accept or save them. I've uninstalled my TB program and reinstalled the latest, but the problem still persists. I've now got emails on the virginmedia server that I can't download to TB. I'm an 89 year old and am at my withs end. I use Windows 11, Tb and Virgin Media as my ISP. Please is ther some one out there who can solve this proble?

Please restore my old version of Thunderbird - at 85 years I am not computer savvy and I am too old to learn new tricks. So please tell me how I might get back the previous layout of Thunderbird. Kind regards, Lawrence (Laurie) Ford. Melbourne Australia. 2nd October,2023.

Hi Mozilla Thunderbird Support team,

My name is Naoko Ochiai. Since Nov. 21, my mail application has stopped receiving and sending emails. I think I haven’t updated it at all. I should reset or uninstall it and reload for the recovery. Please tell me how I can make the mail software work again.

Best wishes

Naoko Ochiai

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/messages/sent/79157 I inadvertently changed the background of my Thunderbird to black with white text. I have NO idea what I did or how to get it back. I tried this: Menu app icon (3 lines) > Preferences select 'General' Scroll to 'Language & Appearance' click on 'Colours' Text = white Background = Blue uncheck - do not select 'Use System colours' 'Override the colours....' select 'Never' Click on OK
