I see that MS Exchange server support is available in Thunderbird version 145 and above. I have a Linux Mint PC which is version 140 which when I try to upgrade I'm told I'm on the latest version. Is there a version 145 and above for Mint and if so how do I upgrade it??

Thank you

Hi... so, when I realized that Thunderbird was not able to access Outlook accounts successfully about two years ago, I was offered the opportunity to try Owl as an add-in, which did a splendid job at the time for accessing my Outlook email and saving it/using it within Thunderbird.

But now it's my understanding that Thunderbird supports Outlook email natively, and I've dumped Owl (including turning it off as an add-on within the software), and I cannot receive emails. I tried resetting the password using the method of "deleting the password from the passwords list so that Thunderbird asks for it the next time", but it continues to check for the email at that address, tells me there isn't anything to download, and won't import the mail. I have to be missing something simple, but I cannot put my finger on it.

I've tried a couple of Reddit methods, also no help. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Recently, when reviewing my emails the correspondent is NOT correctly listed. It's another entry in my contacts with no connection to the email, which IS in my contacts. It's getting worse and worse, happening more frequently. The header info is correct within the email, but it doesn't display correctly in the correspondent field. Checked my email provider, and they are listed correctly there.

How do I get the correct correspondent to be listed for the corresponding email within thunderbird?

My correspondents keep getting shuffled and applied to the wrong subject line in the inbox. It was suggested that I right-click on the folder, select "properties" and then "repair." That clears it up, but only for a matter of hours. Plus, any emails that I have open get closed and then I have to find them again.

One person who suggested that I right-click the folder and repair it said if that didn't work, there was a more technical fix. I need it!

Help!

The spacing of the Subject column label is inconsistent and apparently not under the control of a user. In the graphic with yellow notations, the leading space for Subject is much larger than any of the other column labels shown.

Also, in the graphic with red notations, the leading space for Subject is even larger; I "applied columns to ... Folder ..." yet both folders are not the same as the leading blank space for the Subject column header is different from the "copy from" folder.

I cannot find anywhere that this is controllable by the user. Please advise on both issues: too much space on the Subject column before the word Subject and the inconsistency of the Apply Columns To feature.

Thank you.

I am unhappy with version 150 of Thunderbird. In earlier versions, I was able to access the full range of emojis when writing an email. That is no longer possible; I can now only access a few. The integration of add-ons with Thunderbird isn’t working properly. After adding the German dictionary, Thunderbird froze; after adding ImportExport Tools, Thunderbird not only crashed but also wouldn’t start up again.

This is a continuation of the thread - [is being managed by your organisation CAUSE: Bitdefender]

The solution of deleting the Registry Key does not work. It simply comes back after reboot. I have engaged with BitDefender support and they suggested the same thing - they also added to uninstall TB which I am not going to do.

The issue is that the BitDefender extension is not installed in a normal way, and cannot be removed. The settings in BitDefender do not make any difference, I cannot change settings in a Thunderbird account eg change a folder location, it looks like it works, but it actually does not.

I did find in the about:config extensions.webextensions.uuids key has the bdThunderbird@bitdefender.com entry but there is no indication as to what other strings belong to the entry and I do not to mess things up.

I do realize this is a BitDefender issue, and i did follow up with their support but I am wondering if anyone has solved this annoying issue.

Thanks

Ever since one of the recent updates, my new email notification box is showing up on wrong monitor. I have a 2 monitor setup, the notification box is now showing up on the second monitor. I have tried turning the option off and back on but makes no difference.

I have moved my Thunderbird data from drive C:\xxx\Thunderbird to N:\xxx\Thunderbird. The Thunderbird program remains on "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird" How do I tell Thunderbird to find its data on the N: drive?

     Thank you,    Art Lieberman

I have multiple email adresses for different purposes, but all of the incoming emails are sent to the Local Folders inbox, where I have separate folders to save emails for the each purpose. I am able to manually sort the folders in the order that I prefer, however each time I shut down Thunderbird and then restart it, the folders end up in seemingly different random order each time. Is there a way to ensure the manually sorted order of the folders does not change?

I downloaded Thunderbird into a new computer and there are a lot less emails than on the old computer. I cannot find a setting to download the rest of the emails. Can you please help. Please send me an email telling me if I can download the rest of them.

My inbox is now put in alphabetic order thanks to one of the newest updates. I want it at the TOP. Can you fix this? In Thunderbird I now have to manually drag it to the top each morning.

When I open email in outlook my Inbox still appears at the top where it should be.

I hope this can be fixed sooner than later.

If this isn't the right place to post this please provide an email to post to. The website is not user friendly enough to be of any help to me.

Hi, my folders have disappeared, apart from my inbox - including sent, junk, deleted. How do I recover them please? I've tried the suggestions from Google, but nothing works.

Also, as a separate issue, I can't now send or receive emails from my iPhone, but can from my Mac? On my phone, I get a message saying that the server is not responding. I have tried entering my server details but it doesn't work. The message says 'bad certificate format - 9,808'. This happened overnight and I hadn't changed anything. How do I fix this please, in order to send and receive messages on my phone.

Got new internet provider. Old provider has blocked or frozen me out of my prior email account. I need to see my contact list and provide those people with my new address.
