Good afternoon -
When I try to send a desktop shortcut or anything else to my Thunderbird Client I see this error message. Tried about 5 fixes on YouTube, none of them worked. How can I get this simple functionality back?

Thunderbird is my default Mail Client. Microsoft Office 2021 is resident, but Outlook is uninstalled.
I'm surprised that this has not been addressed before.
Many thanks for your prompt assistance in helping me resolve this! Keep up the good work.

It would be great to have the option of, by default, having my emails composed as plain text/not HTML (which is my current setting), but when I forward an email, have it use HTML if the email was an HTML email. Currently, whenever I want to just forward an HTML formatted email without it then looking horrid, I have to go into settings, change my preferences so I can compose in HTML, forward the email, then go back to preferences and change it back to using plain text.

Hey, folks! To clear my list of recent folders, I used to simply delete panacea.dat from the profile folder and let Thunderbird rebuild it. But now I see that panacea.dat is no longer there (running 102.0 beta on Windows 10).
Is there a new way to reset/clear that list now that panacea.dat is gone? Thanks for suggestions!

Sending of password for user johndoe@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted.
This error suddenly started. The answer at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1309075 *** might be the solution but the Options panel seems to have gone and the online instructions in Thunderbird Help also lead to an outdated layout. More updated instructions would be appreciated and especially if written for a very old senile fool. I see that I set the password for my mail over a decade ago and I didn't know what I was doing then 8-) I can still read my email via Chrome.

Hello,
I moved to Thunderbird because I can no longer receive gmail on Outlook.
When I receive e-mail from multiple accounts on Thunderbird, is there a way to organize the folders into one list?
As it is now, each account says the e-mail address, then an Inbox and Trash under it. I would like to have all those Inboxes (which I can rename) in one simple list.
I tried the Manually Sort Folders extension and that only sorts folders within an account, not across multiple accounts.
Thank you.

hi, I am still getting my Gmail through IMAP, but I have been used to downloading them via POP3 the recent years. Is this no longer possible? I am geeting password errors since this week.
Why do I want to use POP3? It is downloading all emails since my last session into a dedicated folder on my server, so that I can store them locally. With IMAP I have to browse through the emails manually and copy them over to my local folder. This is tiresome because I have to check, which emails are missing on my local copy since my last download.
Thanks a lot.

I use Mail Merge frequently. I would like to be able to use and if then else statement in the TO field to select the recipient based on a conditional. I have done this in the past, and had found a reference for doing it but I can no longer find that reference. So if anyone can point me to a site that describes how to to use conditionals in Thunderbird I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird only seems to download Pop3 emails from server once a day even though the check every 10 minute is highlighted in control panel. The "get messages" tab does not seem to retrieve emails which I know are on my server. It seems to work fine down loading emails when I first check in the day but then does not download emails again till the next day. Can you help? David.

More a suggestion than a question.
I had problem to change my "sound", but finally installed a .wma sound and it works fine.
Now a suggestion: change the menu to change the sound with only a .wav sound, instead of the current BIG list. For the fun, I found the http:\\www.soundrangers.com who produced sound of the background themes installed from Windows. It's still open.

I use Thunderbird with Gmail. It has an All Mail folder storing all messages and an Inbox folder storing all incoming messages. One can archive messages by moving them to All Mail from Inbox. Can I somehow list such messages, i.e. messages that are in All Mail but not in Inbox (and not in Sent)? Looking at the search dialogue, I cannot find such option, but maybe I am missing something?

I have Thunderbird (TB) with 3 accounts , in following order, • x@gmail.com • a@ownprovider.nl • y@gmail.com Due to problems of Outlook 2010 with gmail security since 30-5-2022 I export/import Post_Out from Outlook to Concepts of account y@gmail.com in TB. Status is "`Concept mail" . So far so good. When I open the mail and send it, it however automatically uses x@gmail.com. Of course I can change the source account. But then also the signature is, unintended, inserted. But. How can I force that TB always takes y@gmail.com as the source account when I open concept mails under account y@gmail.com? Without adding the signature. Or is the only possibility to open a second instance of TB? Thanks in advance.

I use TB 13, believe it or not. Why? B/c I despise change -- it's streamlined, efficient, perfect. Now the pure evil known as Gmail is blocking me from downloading my messages. I hear I need to upgrade to at least TB 68 to use OAuth and surmount this problem. When I got my new comp I tried to get the new TB but it seemed so unorganized/complicated and as if it didn't function like TB13 -- the absolutely crucial and most important key function being: No need to be online to do anything. I can write a new message, save it, send it later. I can download messages when I feel like it. Read them offline. Reply to them offline. Connect when I want to and send the messages. Is this still possible with TB 68+? Create folders, again offline. I do not want to depend on being online for absolutely anything, except to send and receive messages. Can someone tell me if this is still possible using new versions of TB?

I am normally a Mac user, where Thunderbird already defaults to my preferred Arial font for outgoing messages. Now I am setting up a Windows 10 install for a class I need to take, and Thunderbird insists on using Times New Roman as my font for all outgoing messages.
I found the setting for "default font" under Preferences, but I am not sure what its purpose is. First, the default was set to Cambria, which was not the font displayed for anything in the app. I tried changing it to Arial and it did absolutely nothing. My incoming messages still appear how they should, in the typical Arial font specified by the sender, but when I reply, I have to manually set the font each time if I want it anything other than Times New Roman. I looked at the Advanced setting, but they made no sense to me, and Times New Roman was NOT one of the fonts selected for any of the settings.
So how do I set the default outgoing message font to something other than Times New Roman? Is there a reason Mozilla does not use the same defaults across Mac and Windows versions? Why does this have to be so complicated?
Thanks for any help, this is really annoying.

I've been using Thunderbird for a long long time and have always had many imap accounts setup, including a Yahoo Mail account.
As of just the other day (I believe Tues, June 7, 2022), suddenly and unexpectedly, Thunderbird 91.10.0 (64-bit) began showing ALL of my mail folders in the Yahoo account on the server, when I have always had many folders hidden (in unsubscribed state).
I have Thunderbird installed on 4 computers, and, as I launched TB on each of them, the displayed Yahoo folders updated to all folders on each computer (I had originally set up my profile on one computer and then later copied it to each of the others).
When I go into the TB yahoo account settings to re-unsubscribe and apply the settings and then restart TB, all folders remain showing... I cannot seem to get TB to once again unsubscribe to the folders I'm not interested in seeing in TB.
For reference, other imap accounts I have configured in the same profile remain with the same subscribed/unsubscribed settings I've always had.
If anyone has any ideas or explanations or a recommended fix, I'm all ears! ty!

Hi
Just moving from Eudora to TBird because of recent Google login requirement change so I am an old stubborn Eudora user (obviously ;-) ).
Anyway - I would like to have the new message 'write' button open a new tab, not a new window. I did figure out how to open new incoming messages in a Tab so at least I got that right.
Is there any way to change the setting for opening a new outgoing message window/tab?
Thanks for your help. Hope this is not too annoying of a question

So Google went ahead and disabled normal logins. This has broken POPFile mail classifier.
POPFile likes to sit between my mail servers and Thunderbird, causing all emails fetched from remote servers to pass through the mail classifier before Thunderbird gets them.
When I use these settings: Server name: 10.0.0.15 Username: pop.gmail.com:995:xxxx@gmail.com:ssl Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2
Thunderbird just gets 'connection timed out.' No OAuth2 login screen appears. I've tested OAuth2+Thunderbird with POPFile removed from the equation and everything works normally.
Does anyone know how to get POPFile mail classifier to work with OAuth2? This is likely not the right place to ask, but asking anyway if anyone has some suggestions. Thanks!
