Thunderbird Support Forum

I've just now noticed the Threading automatic default grouping/marking of messages, and it is appalling. Thunderbird/Mozilla either needs to eliminate this (with appropriate warning notices, perhaps) or at least give us the ability to NOT link various messages. It's not only vastly annoying, it can cause severe real-world problems if anyone not in the CC or BCC fields is receiving these messages that were not intended for them.

I suppose for now, the only way to NOT link things that were never meant to be would be to change the Subject when discussing important topics.

Either that, or get a whole new mail service, which I'd prefer not to have to do.

I upgraded to 115.3.1 from 102.15.1 this week. I do not understand the large increase in version number, but I have not done any searches. I have a number of complains with this new version.

1) I want to move one message to a Local Folder, and I get the message at the bottom "nn messages moved from Inbox to Tr.ash". The one message I wanted to move remains in the Inbox, and I have to move it again. When I try to move them again, the folder displayed is NOT the one into which I had just tried to save. I have no idea if any messages were moved from Inbox to Trash, and I have no idea how I would find them.

2) The font size in the window is smaller than it was with 102, and there is blank space on the right. Is there a way to increase the font size?

3) I read one mail message and I process it (delete it or save it in a Local Folder). Most of the time, the next message in the Inbox is opened. But sometimes the window advances to a message further down in the Inbox, and I then have to go back into the Inbox to access then next message I was planning on reading.

Hi, ubuntu 22.04 thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit), firefox firefox-120.0.r20231129155202-x86_64.AppImage. Just replaced snap-firefox with appimage and now links in emails don't work. New firefox window opens but no url is loaded. I would expect the link would open in a new tab in the already open firefox. New firefox picked up all the old config files after a bit of editing.

Thanks Jim

Hello Support

I have been using your product thunderbird for my email purposes. Recently I upgraded my HDD capacity to 4TB and copied all my files across, which worked OK.

My thunderbird email platform now has two inboxes and the incoming mail appears in both inboxes, which is becoming inconvienent.

Q: How do I delete one of those inboxes with out risking a major loss of folders?

In box #1: wbob@optusnet.com.au wbob@optusnet.com.au

In box #2: OPTUSNET wbob@optusnet.com.au

Kind Regards Bob wbob@optusnet.com.au

bold textMy emails will not download. Optimum or Comcast or the Geek Squad will not help with 3rd party users. I dont know how to get them to download. I am using a computer that is stationed in Florida, so it has not been used in 9 months.

After recent update, TB seems to have created an extra account. My account has name <myemajl> and ends in ".com". New acct has same name but ens in .com_2. That's why I think TB created it. Which do I delete and how

Hi

Why does Thunderbird want all my personal information.......??

I'd be MORE THAN happy to make a donation to support you guys, but I am NOT happy about all the info I have to provide - and frankly I'm bot going to be bullied into giving info I don't want to. I donate to Wikipedia and they don't ask such intrusive questions - so why do you? You say that less than 2% of TB users donate - this PROBABLY the reason why they don't...!

And the fact that there is no direct link to ask somebody ask question about this subject, is really frustrating.

Thanks

for years I have used Thunderbird, and during that time have replaced serveral old pc/laptops. My new laptop when trying to open Thunderbird asks for a password. I have no record of that anywhere!! So how do i create a new password or gain acess to use Thunderbird. Im using Windows 11

cant send or recieve eemails for past week get this message???? This message could not be sent because The connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out ... Try again ???

I hae no idea why or what to do now if someone could help me that would be great

Sorry I have no idea what any of what is in the Shared Data means

My emails are threading up, even ones that have nothing to do with each other. I've tried 'collapsing threads' in the 'view' menu, but it doesn't seem to help. With so much threading going on, I can't even find some of the new emails that I am alerted to.

I'm a newbe Thunderbird user making the transition from Outlook which I've used for years but recently discovered is too compromising especially when it comes to archiving. Have been using Mozilla for years on a Surface laptop (windows 11), Cyberpower desktop (windows 10), and Android Note 20. I've downloaded Thunderbird and it is working fine. Where can I find user training videos for Thundbird, especially archiving? Are there other ways besides on-line gifting in which I can contribute to the research that makes Mozilla and Thunderbird possible? Thank you.

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and really like it - until two recent updates (sorry!). I am running Ubuntu 22.04, and Thunderbird 115.4.1. One now has a column taken on the left which is unnecessary, and a section at the top which is above the menus with e.g. File... but I would like my File menu at the top, as it used to be. The second issue is more frustrating - the search facility, where one can find the emails being sought, allows me to search by many options, and I was able to display the results sorted by subject, size or my normal was by date, but I never use the message threads as that is rarely of interest, and I can sort on that using the message subject if needed. Now, when I search the results are ONLY in the message threads, and if I try to sort by date, I lose all information, and the ONLY option is to see the messages by thread which is no use to me! How can I restore good old Thunderbird - the version I enjoy using (or have the functionality I had restored)?! Many thanks,

Emails with different subjects are getting threaded together. For example, in the attached snapshot, why are the emails with subject "Bid S011090833" getting threaded under "Hein Revised Hall Bath..."?

Perhaps I don't understand how Thunderbird determines messages have a common thread.

Using Thunderbird 115.4.1 (64-bit)

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

I want to turn off ALL threads in Thunderbird.

Just the last two days TWO IMPORTANT messages (from two different people) on my computer did not display in my email feed, I only saw them by accident on my phone..

I have searched very, very many times to change the settings, but regardless of what I do, it doesn't help..

I have tried "View / Sort by / Unthreaded", it doesn't work.. I have tried to look for the "Organize Mail by Thread" in Settings, I cannot find it. I have spent SOOOO much time trying to find out about this, but not been successful... (It is NOT the first time this has happened!)

Can anyone help??

Whazzup with both a POP3 & an IMAP?

Which one to remove & how to do it step by step please

edit: moved thread from Firefox to Thunderbird section.
