Thunderbird Email and Printing

Thunderbird has suddenly decided that it will split the header and sender information of an email from the text message which means that if I try to print the whole message the header and sender information appears on the first page and the rest of the body of the text is on the following pages even if the message is only one page long.

The message appears correctly when I view it it's only when I go into Print Preview that the separation shows and even if I reduce the margins or remove the header it still splits the first page. The Config Editor appears to be correct in terms of the height and width of the paper being A4.

I'm not sure but I think the system was upgraded recently as this problem only started this week.

Can anyone help me?

Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection: STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2

A browser looking window opens up with a long URL in it (https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=xxxxxxxx%40hotmail.com) the windows is just blank and the dialog box for sending opens. The browser window shuts and the sending dialog box just sits there.

It ends up timing out saying it can't connect to the smtp server. I cannot send any e-mails at all. Please help or advise. Thank you!

Hi, I run TB on 2 machines. On one (running Win10) Supernova downloaded automatically, odd as I thought you had to opt in to get it. (The other running Win11 is still on v102). No problem as it looks good. (I'll make any suggestions separately.) But I'm concerned about migration as I have a lot of messages, both archived and in live folders. Judging by some forum responses version 102 should still be lurking in the background. Is that right? And if so what's the migration plan once Supernova is out of beta? And as I was about to move storage location from C: to D: for space issues, is it best to hold off until Supernova is fully live?

was recently forced to upgrade to winblows 11.. in the previous version of Thunderbird, 102.2 64 bit, I could follow these instructions to background colors in the various panes .

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1389364

Now with version 115.0, I am having issues getting it to work.

the CSS file I am using is

  1. threadTree > treechildren {
 font-size: 16pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}

  1. folderTree > treechildren {
 font-size: 16pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

} after I follow the instructions, carefully, nothing happens. see screenshot attached...

I have 2 questions:

1 - what am i doing wrong? 2 - In the attached screenshot, how can I get rid of that toolbar in green on the left?

I'm seeing this on only one of two TBird 115 PCs: on the first, in the message list, when I double-click to read the message, there's a delay of about three seconds before the message header appears, and above the subject, there's an icon and the sender's display name, and also, on a second line, the sender's address.

On the other installation, there's no icon, and the display name and the sender's address are on one line above the subject. I have no idea why the first PC has this two-line-plus-icon layout for the senders of messages. I can't find any settings that will get rid of the icon and the two-line display.

Hi,

This just started tonight: I'm running TBird 115. I have several email accounts downloading to a unified local folder. With previous versions, I could click on the Download email icon and select individual accounts to download. I can't find an option for downloading individual accounts in the 115 GUI. Is that gone?

Hello,

a few days ago I switched to the new version 115 and I find it very nice. In my daily work, I use View > Folders > Unread Folders most often.

If I now open unread mails in a folder, the folder is actually no longer an "unread folder". In the "old" version of Thunderbird, folders were refreshed at irregular intervals and folders were automatically hidden when there were no more new mails to read.

This no longer happens with 115. Here the read folders remain visible all day or until I manually select View > Folders > Unread Folders again.

I would therefore be very pleased if this old function were possible again.

Thank you and best regards from Berlin Florian

Installed thunderbird for the first time. Mouse scroll wheel doesn't work in the inbox, in message view, in settings, or in calendar.

The scrollbars are visible, if I click and drag them they work, if I use the up/down arrow keys the window scrolls as expected, it's just the mouse wheel doesn't work. Mouse wheel works in other programs ex firefox.

I disabled smooth scrolling and autoscrolling but the issue persists.

Thunderbird is completely unusable in the latest release. Attempting to set up a gmail based account results in

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to 192.168.1.250. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

That's it. No options, no explanation, no KB articles, nothing. It just doesn't work. But why is Thunderbird trying to open a web connection to my local machine? If it's trying to talk to itself, why can't it? This is clearly an issue with trying to authenticate to Google as it happens after auth, but come on, this is a given requirement these days. If your app doesn't work out of the box (MacOS 13 btw), it may as well not exist for the OS, so this is very confusing.

Trying out older versions was a real comedy of failures as well. Too old and it's just a disaster. Too new and it just self updated to 115 again which doesn't work. So kinda seems like this is not a functional app anymore, at least not on Mac. Baffling. I guess it can only be used with legacy style email systems.

I don't think I can properly explain but I will try. I just got the latest version of Thunderbird and now the look of the messages in the inbox are very compacted. In the previous version, the visual look and spacing of the messages in the inbox were more spaced out and easier to read.

Is there a way to fix this through a font change or add on? I can't handle squished messages.

But I can not seem to find a way to go to the Start Page, other than restarting Thunderbird.

The Go Menu mentioned in the article below is not there anymore. And I can not find a Home button when customizing the toolbars.

My mother would like to export her very extensive address book in CSV format for safekeeping and eventually for porting it to a new email address. She recently updated to Thunderbird v. 115. I can find help for exporting address books in previous versions. In v115, under Tools, I can only find that a zip file of everything in the profiles directory can be made. Am I looking in the wrong place? Any suggestions besides downgrading to v. 102?
