I want a dynamic quote of the day automatically added to my email signature in Thunderbird.

Is there a way for Thunderbird to insert a quote of the day from a website using Google Sheets or another tool? How about inserting a quote of the day from a local file?

The goal is to have the day's quote automatically change each day.

Hi Everyone,

I have Thunderbird installed on two computers. When I receive messages that are in plain text, on one computer they are being displayed in a modified format with whitespace and carriage returns removed. On the second computer the messages are not being reformatted.

What setting do I need to change so that plain text messages are not automatically reformatted?

The trouble is that these messages are written with the contents displayed out in a nice table format, and when they are reformatted it makes them very hard to read.

I have tried searching for the answer myself, but I haven't been able to find anything that directly relates to this question.

Thanks, Ian

I have long had Thunderbird configured the way I like it on Windows 10 - a folder browser on the left, a listbox with one text line per email along the top, and the majority of the window showing the currently-selected window. Each entry in the listbox has multiple columns, with subject, sender, date, etc.

The individual items within the listbox on Windows 11 are very wide - the same-size pane that showed ten emails now shows only three. (the folder browser pane is also now only as tall as the email pane instead of being the whole left side.) And it's not arranged in columns; the subject and sender stack atop one another and htere's a blank line beneath them; no column headings or column-click-to-sort. It's now intolerable to browse.

Yes, I have a cluttered inbox and many cluttered folders. But I would like to see a dozen emails at a time, not three or four, and have column headings I can use to sort email easily. Is there any way to force the email list to be a traditional compact listbox on Windows 11, or is this simply a Win11 system interface choice we can't do anything about?

I can see the headers & senders etc. of the emails I recieved today, but when I open them, the content is missing. All I can see is some stuff I don't understand (content type, MIME-Version etc.) and the signature of an unrelated mailing list. Yesterday's mails are fine, but every email I recieved today has the same content (see attached image). Any idea what has happened? is this something that the owner of the mailing list needs to fix?

Hi all,

Please can you assist me. I have just started using Thunderbird for my new business email address, in order to access my emails. I notice that the inbox will empty itself after I have read the emails/close the application. I've looked in all the other folders, archived etc, toggled the read/unread options etc but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have an email account with the INBOX as normal but all other folders are sub-folders below that and NOT below the account email itself .... any clues to the sttings please?

what does this message mean and how do I fix it?

"The current operation on 'Blocked' did not succeed. The mail server for account mail@XXXXXX responded: Mailbox doesn't exist: INE"

I have TB 115.13.0 (32bit) In the past when I start TB, junk mail has always showed up as TB loaded new messages (with the red flame) and then were sent to the Junk Folder. Now they just stay in the Inbox with the red flame beside them and I have to manually send them to Junk Folder. What's wrong?

I want to put a button on the Toolbar which performs: Edit, Find, Search Messages (Ctrl-Shift-F) with one click of the mouse.

1. How can I put a Search Messages button on on a Toolbar? 2. Like with MS Office I would like to be able to place a custom toolbar below

I'm using Tbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks, Kaarl

Hello,

Thunderbird keeps crashing. That is about all that I can tell you. It started this morning (/when I got to work I fist noticed it). I have not used any add ons. I have been submitting crash reports. Crash data avaiable on request. I uninstalled and re installed, same result; crashes immediately on start up.

Please assist.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I'm facing a problem with Thunderbird. I have my own mail server that uses an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy. I checked the certificate and contacted support; they assured me the certificate is valid and not revoked or expired (see OCSP-Check.jpg)*.

However, when I try to configure my account on Thunderbird, it doesn't work. I receive an error stating that the certificate is revoked (see Error-Console.jpg)* and (Error-MSG.jpg).

Disabling the OCSP check allows it to work, but I need to understand why this is happening only in Thunderbird.

I reiterate that it is working normally on Outlook and Android

Some information about my mail server:

Software: Zimbra 8.8.15 OS: Debian APACHE IMAP port: 993 SMTP port: 465 SSL

If you need any further information, I'll be happy to provide it.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to give each email account a color and have the message list backgrounds match the account colors? It would make it much easier to know which account has received the email when viewing the Unified Folders Inbox. I think this used to be possible with an extension called 'account colors' but it no longer works in 128.

I have noticed that I can change the account icon colors (r.click account > Properties) but it doesn't translate to the message list.

Thanks for your help.

I have successfully used Thunderbirds for 10 years on my 2013 Mac BookPro. During the last 6 months I've had a number of instances when Thunderbirds could not connect with the server. (See attached image). I have found that hitting the Cancel key and letting the system sort itself out was the best option as I always managed to download my emails. As of the 16 Sept 2024 this has method has not been successful and I have had to resort to Mail on my iPad. This is not very satisfactory as all history and contacts are with Thunderbirds. I need a solution to login to my Thunderbirds account. I've not changed any settings or passwords. I'm running Norton 360 security on all computers in this household and have for 15 years. HELP!!!!!

Hi,

I have used thunderbird as a default email client solely for the purposes of working with Autoquotes software which auto populates links in the form of the body of an email. Typically, I select email on the Auotquotes program and a Thunderbird email pops up with the subject line being the Quote name, and the Body of the email containing the links. I've included a screenshot attached of how it SHOULD look.

I just installed thunderbird and autoquotes on a new computer. However when I choose to email the quote, the thunderbird email window DOES pop up, the quote name is in the subject line, however there is NOTHING in the body of the email.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you for your help!
