Thunderbird Community Forum

I use Signature Switch as I have several signatures that I need for work. I want to add an animated gif and do so using the html area. The gif never shows, just a blank box the size of the gif. I wrote to the developer of Signature Switch, but no reply.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,

I'm having a problem moving messages from one folder to another. There's one message which will not move no matter what I do. I'd like to turn off QuickFolders so that I can determine whether it causes the problem. How do I turn QuickFolders off, and then when I'm done with my experiment, turn it back on again?

I added the Cardbook extension and I want to import a CSV file with contacts from Outlook. Is there a way to do this? Can you export from Cardbook? Thanks, -- Haig

Upon starting Thunderbird today, it appears the connection to my two Outlook exchange accounts (through an Owl extension) are no longer functional. I can receive messages but I cannot send them. I have attached images of the error it returns first (Error1) and then the screen that results upon refresh (Error2). I can reach and send mail from my accounts using Outlook365 web access, so it must be a Thunderbird configuration problem. Please help!

I am trying to install an add-on to enable the transfer of large email attachments but, having tried to install a "selected" Filelink add-on, I receive a message that it cannot be installed as it is not validated by Mozilla. Please advise which add-on is accepted. Thank you.

I'm trying to setup tbsync to use with Google Contacts. I'm running 128.12.0 esr. I've installed tbsync and Google-4-tbsync.

I followed the instructions to create Google credentials, but where do I put them? And the account setup for tbsync asks for a "client secret" - what's that?

Suddenly messages have disappeared from all folders; all I see is No messages found.

I tried Repair Folder. It appeared to work, it ran for several minutes on my Inbox, but that didn't help.

I discovered that if I run in Troubleshoot mode that all messages appear, but when I close Thunderbird and relaunch, which opens without Troubleshoot mode, that all messages have again disappeared.

I'm running 128.11.0esr with windows 10.

Proszę specjalistów o pomoc co mogę zrobić, aby Thunderbird szukał również w treści załączników tekstowych np. PDF, jak np. eM Client, który ma tą funkcję, ale jest znacznie mnie elastyczny i gorszy jeśli chodzi o sprawy konfiguracyjne niż Thunderbird, ale szukanie w załącznikach działa idealnie.

Czy są jakieś dodatki w Thunderbird, abym mógł szukać w załącznikach bezpośrednio w programie w jego wyszukiwarce? Nie chodzi o szykanie poza programem.

Zależy mi na wygodzie użytkowania i skoncentrowania pracy w Thunderbird.

Pozdrawiam :)

I have used Thunderbird for decades with no problem. On a new Windows 11 machine, though, I am having a problem. I am running 128.4.2esr (64-bit) and just reinstalled it, but keeping the profile folder.

When I start Thunderbird, it should open to mail, specifically a unified inbox and various other mailboxes below. Instead, usually, it is blank. Other reopened tabs correctly display their title and content. See screenshot.

Thunderbird works correctly if I start it in troubleshooting mode, but at this point my few add-ons are disabled. (Quicktext, Compact Headers, dark theme.) See screenshot, lightly redacted.

With Thunderbird running, in its bad mode, selecting "mail" brings up the same blank page. Also, "calendar" shows a correct list of my calendars but will not display their content. However, "address book" works, showing my address book correctly.

If I am lucky or patient -- waiting for the mail tab to potentially come to life -- Thunderbird occasionally works and, if it does, stays fine for days, as long as I don't close it. What could be going on and what should I try doing?

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi, I am wondering if there is an add-on for Thunderbird that makes it send messages like Outlook without the connection timing out under poor network conditions. Outlook simply holds the message in the Outbox until it has sufficient service to send it. With Thunderbird if there is a poor connection, it's always popping up time out errors in such a case.

I see duplicate menu items for addons under Tools menu for some addons like ImportExport Tools NG for example and its developer identify the issue as longstanding Thunderbird bug on Mac.

Any idea about the isse?

On new computer. I went to Add-ons and searched for Imogies/Emojies, etc., but nothing comes up. I hoped to have the set I had as an add-on on previous computer (which crashed - had to start from scratch).

If anyone knows how to get it, I'd appreciate knowing. I loved using it.

(I know about "Win." - but that doesn't have nearly as many emogies as the Add-on.)

Do these plugins exist? If not, please make them, I need them!

1) The plugin lets you make filters for all mailboxes and folders, or for any selection of them, rather than for just a single folder/mailbox. Some things I filter for may arrive in any of several mailboxes, depending on the address I used, and it's a drag to create the same filter for each of them.

2) The plugin lets you search in specific mailboxes or folders, or for any selection of them, without having to wade through masses of irrelevant results from other folders.

3) The plugin shows you, in search results, what folder each email is in. Currently, when I do a search, each folder containing any results is on the list showing how many results it contains, and if I click on it I can see those results, but that's not the same - and it goes away when the results are shown as a list.

Thank you.

I keep installing the Add-on to customize the message body toolbar. Unfortunately, the toolbar returns after a while. Now I can't seem to find the Add-on to customize it.

Any ideas? James
