The edit tool bar to set bold, text color and text sze under the "+ new message" is missing. How do I fix?

Question from Jack Anema. , EMail [redacted email from public]

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

Moved my thunderbird account to my new lap top using %appdata% . All has transferred but it is not letting me put in the passwords for imap and smtp. I checked on the old laptop, and I do have them correct. Any help would be lovely. I can access my gmail account online if I have to.

I can't find my Junk folder on any of my three Thunderbird email accounts. I tried everything from the Thunderbird and Internet search pages but nothing brings up my Junk accounts.

My problem is that all emails to one of my email accounts goes to the Trash folder, Every time now starting this morning, The two other email accounts work properly.

Please help. Thanks.

Hello

I use Thunderbird (153.2 0esr) on a win 11 PC.

I have some POP email accounts with btinternet which work.

I want to change. them to IMAP accounts using the same email addresses.

Before I do this I have several minor problems within Thunderbird, which I would like to sort out before copying the Thunderbird files as a backup.

Rather than list them all, it's possible that fixing the first may solve others.

When I open Thunderbird I see this message... see FIRSTCalendar if it hasn't been inserted into the text

I have never (knowingly) used BT's calendar. Clicking cancel removes the report and does not stop any of the BT mail accounts working.

I tried using the username and password of the default account but password of the default account without success. At a later stage this appears...

See SECONDcontacts if not inserted here

The address displayed is one that I have deleted from my BT Email account.

It is no longer shown as one of my BT accounts in the email management page in MYBT or in Thunderbird

Again, clicking Cancel does not stop my BT email accounts working.

Any suggestions how to fix this, would be welcome.

Cheers

Dave

I use IMAP and I've allowed remote content from particular sources (not all). Sometimes I work in offline mode. When I do, I accept Thunderbird's offer to "download messages for offline use before going offline." This appears to download my IMAP server's messages, but not the (allowed) remote content. As a workaround, I've found that opening each message in my inbox before going offline is sufficient to cache the remote content, but that's tedious. It'd be nice if the "download messages for offline use" would cache the (allowed) remote content when it downloads the messages.

So I think this is a feature request unless I'm doing something wrong. And if this is the wrong place to submit feature requests, please let me know. Thank you!

Was on version 115, had this problem. Updated to version 155, same problem. One of the email accounts I set up on Thunderbird is redacted1@lake48.net, registered with 123-Reg. However, this is a forwarding address and has no email server, which is why I am getting the error now.

Messages addressed to redacted1@lake48.net are forwarded to redacted2@lake48.net, which does have a server, My system was to download from there and use a rule to divert the incoming message to my redacted1@lake48.net Inbox. This has worked OK until now. Thunderbird gives me this error right at the start and then does not respond, so I cannot get in to investigate account settings, and cannot access emails in other accounts such as gmail. 123-Reg has today changed its system, assuring me I don't need to change anything. Clearly I do, but I can't get in to change it.

What should I do to resolve this? I have no other access to my emails.

Inbound emails are going to Trash instead of Inbox.

No changes have been made. How can I check settings to find a solution? I see nothing related to this issue. Thanks for any help.

When I used to click on Minimize, it would minimize to the system area down by the clock. Now it minimizes to the taskbar, something that it's never done before. When I clicked the X, it would close out the program completely. Now it minimizes the program down to the system area. Is this a bug, or is this the way you people do things now?

I have Win11, Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0, and several accounts (The box below won't take anything past "Thunderbird Window.")

I'm looking for some way to make a different ring either for one of the accounts or for certain domains or for a subfolder -- any way that I'll know when something comes in from specific domains. The special ring(s) can be for each of the two domains or both of them. Can that be done?

I've been using Thunderbird version 155.0 with only a few issues (reported in other posts).

To investigate one of the issues I've had to create a new profile for testing. I've managed to set everything up except for my default font for outgoing emails. If I send an email with say, four lines of text, I can format each line to be a different font and the received email reflects the different fonts for each line.

But Thunderbird isn't remembering the last selected font. So if I send a second email (without re-selecting any font) the recipient receives it in some naff mono-spaced font. I guess there's somewhere where I can set up the default font for my outgoing emails but I haven't managed to find it yet. Can anyone help?

all of a sudden I'm not getting any new emails and some of my emails that I got won't come up or unbold. I didn't do anything to the program. I haven't fooled with it. I saw there was an upgrade recently from 154 to 155. when did this happen?

I have 5 email accounts on my desktop and the emails are doing funny things. Now they finally loaded but they aren't coming up or unbolding in one of the addresses. In another address I was able to pull up the emails and they unbolded but then all of the new ones bolded again and I couldn't pull the last two up

do you have to contend with Windows upgrades? Do windows upgrades affect Thunderbird? I don't 'fool' with my computer as I'm not very computer literate.

Trying to solve aperformance problem I tried to move my profile from C:\Users\Peter and Carol\Profiles\sjig3laj.default to "C:\Users\Profile\." -- when that did not work, I was unable tomove back to the original location, TB telling me "Local directory path ... is not suitable for message storage". How do I get back to the config that worked before ? (was just slow)

I have settings from Greenby to set up server connections for a new account. They are validated by thunderbird but, after, entering my greenby password, generates the error, below, which greenby claims is a thunderbird problem.

"Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI] Show less

Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI]"

Now my greenby password works on their systems

Now I'm very new to Thunderbird so not familiar with the commands

Any one any ideas ?

When I send an email with my HTML file signature Thunderbird appends a text signature as well. The text signature is not visible in the draft email, and is not in the settings. The text signature is added for separate identity with no signature enabled. I want to stop this. Any ideas please?

My Thunderbird Account was updated by TB on 2 September. Since then all of my new emails go to Trash. Although I've tried the various responses to such questions, I've been unable to change the problem and get my new emails to come into my Inbox. I'd very much like your assistance please. Thank you.
