When choosing to edit a sent message as a 'new' message, placing the cursor at the beginning of the message and pressing <Enter> does not advance the text.

It used to.

Placing the cursor at any other location within the message WILL advance the text with <Enter>.

I CAN add text by typing, but the <Enter> key does nothing.

The intent of placing the cursor at the beginning of the message is to add a line to the previously sent email.

The chosen option of 'edit as new message' should work with <Enter> regardless of where the cursor is positioned.

Any chance of this being addressed?

Thanks.

I am using ThunderBird 153.0 ESR for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0

How can one setup a sending email server with same address and username but different passwords?

When trying to setup 2 different accounts i find a thunderbird limitation using API email password which have same smtp server address and username and only differs in password.

Is there a workaround?

ThunderBird upgraded to v153.0. Since then EAS and TBSync have stopped working. Extension Manager have disabled them and report both are incompatible with TB v153.0.

The option to "Find an alternative add-on" for both fails to find an alternative version to work with TB v153.0

Are newer version of EAS and TBSynce imminent?

Cannot send or receive email all of sudden in Thunderbird. When I the click the messages icon, nothing happens, and I get "Could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused". When trying to send a m,message I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." No settings were changed and everything was fine when I put the computer to sleep. This happens on both a Win 7 and 11 machine Email is a Time Warner (now Spectrum) Road Runner account (twc.com). Spent an hour with Spectrum, and they say this is a third party (Thunderbird) issue. A friend has the same setup, and is having the same problems that started at the same time. Win 11 version 150.02 Win 7 115.18.0 (latest available for win 7)

Appreciate any help....

Hi, I just installed Elementary OS on a Dell M6800. The OS runs well, and I have multiple email accounts, so I installed Thunderbird from the Elementary AppCenter. It showed up as a flatpak install, but I went ahead.

Now, in the past when I tried to replace the .default-release file with one from another machine and rename it with the new filename (which is what I've always done to transfer my multiple emails and address book),

I went to the usual place, which has always been /home/myusername/.thunderbird/whatever.default-release, but it wasn't there. Going to Help/Troubleshooting Information/about:profiles shows it there, but won't open it when clicked on.

The only place I could find it was in /home/myusername/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/cache/thunderbird. But when I replaced and renamed the .default-release file there, and then restarted the app, I still did not have my old data. How do I go about this with a flatpak installation? Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird has stopped downloading mail from the outlook account for my prime account, but my secondary account also outlook is OK. It kept asking to sign into my account then directed me to a web page to sign in for outlook, but it would only let sign into the 2nd account. I have tried uninstalling Thunderbird and re-installed it but still have the same problem.

Was working OK. Now, "No Apps Available" appears when I try to connect to the Yahoo mail server. The "Find more in Software" button causes the "Failed to start software" message to appear. The reinstall is from the App Center.

It also opens the following link on the Firefox browser which displays a blank page. https://api.login.yahoo.com/oauth2/request_auth?response_type=code&client_id=dj0yJmk9WVZUaWRNUUZSQTBNJmQ9WVdrOVNqbHJUMGhtTkU4bWNHbzlNQT09JnM9Y29uc3VtZXJzZWNyZXQmc3Y9MCZ4PTgz&scope=mail-w+ycal-w+sdct-w&state=AUCYywsENF9wWMx1nhJAefu3yJtqIlLxOCP9laluGgA&code_challenge_method=S256&code_challenge=BhhyhkNZvKm5SUrRFTxgmp3HR7vX26vggsjMoThl4wk&login_hint=randylh%40cox.net&redirect_uri=net.thunderbird%3A%2F%2Foauth%2Fyahoo

Thunderbird just updated and the next time I opened it all of the folders I created and the emails I'm storing within them are missing. I found my profile as directed. I'm not sure if I have a backup of it. I've included the screenshot as you ask for. I know that those folders and emails are there as I was playing around with the the 3 lines > View and when I moved between the different choices I saw my folders/emails are all in there.

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated!

I need a filter on a message to FULLY FINISH before a next message starts to be filtered. The "help" (quotes because it's an abyssal crap) says that simply ending the filter with Stop Filter Execution does it - but that's simply NOT TRUE: calling a console program in the filter, I can see five DOS boxes opening at the same time with five messages matching, i.e. the filters on the next message DID NOT wait! So... what can I do??

All of the above is because I'm getting "Too many simultaneous connections on the server". I'd like to limit the concurrency, but it only seems to be possible in IMAP, while this connection is a POP. Why only IMAP??!

I have 10 email accounts I have to monitor. When I set up Thunderbird on Windows, I entered all the account info and the passwords. I checked the box 'use password manager'. This worked well for a few days. After several days, I started the app again and it asked for every password again. I entered all the passwords again. This happened several more times. I sought help for the bug, but found none. Someone suggested deleting password database files in the Thunderbird data folders. This did not help. Someone else suggested that CCleaner may be deleting password data files, so I added the entire Thunderbird data folder to the scanner exclusion list. Yes, this may be a security risk, but I need this app to work, as I have not found any other app that even begins to get the job done. Ready to start looking for another email app now, unless someone can fix this problem. It is not reasonable to expect me to lookup and restore 10 passwords every time I check my mail.

The thunderbird server seems unresponsive and doesn’t recognise my password - what can I do? I can get my emails on my iPhone, luckily, but feel safer from scamming when opening them on my laptop. Please advise - thanks. Ps I have recently donated to Thunderbird!

when I try and add my microsoft outlook account, it redirects to a webpage, which after saying yes a few times with an already signed in session, redirects to localhost 44645. localhost 44645 notably does not seemingly direct to anything, and thunderbird does not change. clicking "continue" re opens the microsoft webpage How should i connect my outlook account? system details; ``` OS: Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 Host: ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic Uptime: 7 hours, 40 mins Packages: 2177 (dpkg) Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: Cinnamon 6.6.4 WM: Mutter (Muffin) WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint-Y) Theme: Mint-Y-Aqua [GTK2/3] Icons: Mint-Y-Sand [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.508GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series Memory: 14803MiB ```
