Thunderbird Tekoha Aty

I'm a Thunderbird novice.

I had Thunderbird working to allow me to read and write messages to the Quicken newsgroup.

Something went wrong (Thunderbird was displaying the Quicken newsgroup name twice - in the left column), but clicking on either of the displayed names produced a blank screen. It did not matter what the read/unread setting said: no messages diaplayed.

So I tried reinstalling Thunderbird - which is requiring me to set everything up again. I struggled to get setup the first time, and this time I'm getting almost nowhere.

First: Thunderbird setup my email account even though I don't want to use Thunderbird for my email. I'm hoping that's just a minor annoyance, though I'd like to get rid of the Thunderbird email account.

But I am not getting anywhere setting up the Newsgroup.

I'm trying to use www.eternal-september.org to get messages from the newsgroup alt.comp.software.financial.quicken - which was working fine before I had to reinstall.

Is there a simple step-by-step guide I can follow to achieve my goal.

This says so, but is over 5 years old: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/maildir-thunderbird

Lots of awful warnings, should I be worried?

Hello all,

I've spent some time testing and trying to figure this out myself but without success. Epic fail some would say.

I'm running Thunderbird 128.4.3esr (64 bits) under Rocky Linux 8.10 (Green Obsidian) installed via Flatpak (Mozilla Thunderbird Flatpak en-US, thunderbird-flatpak - 1.0).

I have multiple IMAP accounts all set to empty trash on exit.

When I quit Thunderbird, I can see the actions it's performing in the bottom right among which I do read « Corbeille vidée » (trash cleared) for each account. But these trashes are not actually emptied.

I first thought it was not working at all but after more testing it seems like it does work but only for the trash that I've looked into before leaving the app (click on trash in the sidebar to display the message list it contains).

If I remember correctly it was working fine when installed from Rocky repo.

If anyone has any idea on the why and, even better, has a solution, that would be great.

Regards, Charles

Two weeks ago my received email displayed the imbedded links with a picture, now all I get is a blank box for the link. The link works properly but I would rather see the image in the email rather than click on the link

While there are over 60 emails on the Comcast server this morning, only 5 have downloaded. I tried repairing the folder but no change. While I can save chunks of email on the server, my import of a zip file of them is not working. This has become a problem over the last 36 hours. I am using Thunderbird 128.4.3 under Windows 11 Pro 23H2. Should I remove the account and reinstall it? Other suggestions?

Thank you for your consideration

Greetings everyone,

since the upgrade to 128, chats and the motd from the IRC server are only displayed sporadically. I had hoped that this would be fixed in one of the updates, but so far this is not the case. Sometimes nothing is displayed when opening Thunderbird, sometimes only the chats (chat rooms) and sometimes a motd of the IRC server. Maybe someone can help me fix this so that everything is displayed as usual again.

I am using Thunderbird version 128.4.3esr (64-bit) under Windows 10 Pro 22H2 with Windows Defender. The settings for the chat, that it is connected and that there are also unread messages that are not displayed, I put in the attachment.

Got a pop up saying to enter a password on my email. Nothing worked. Log story short - contacted Comcast (my carrier) and they had me delete my email from Thunderbird and try to "add an exsiting email account" -access is always denied. Can someone please help. Thank you

Thunderbird was upgraded to 128.3.3esr. Since the upgrade I can not save edits to existing templates. I can't create new templates. When you choose save, template it acts like it saved but the edited template is not in the template folder. When I test with creating a new template it is not in the template folder.

Having already experienced terminal problems with Thunderbird under Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS, I opted to install Betterbird 115.17.0-bb35 (flatpak) in my fresh installation of Ubuntu Studio 24.04.1 LTS. I followed the instructions in the README on github to migrate my 9.5GB non-flatpak Thunderbird profile to betterbird. However, betterbird spent hours re-downloading everything. On every subsequent start, the downloading starts over again form scratch. In addition, the numerous folders that I had under Local Folders are gone. Instead, there is one folder which contains a bunch of messages that do not belong there. I have tried numerous workarounds from various sources on the web. My last experiment consisted of starting betterbird with the "-purgecaches" option using a profile made by copying my old Thunderbird profile but excluding:

• everything with "cache" in the name
• all .msf files
• all empty files and directories

However, the results were the same. Unfortunately, I don't have a recent enough backup of the profile to be useful. The profile contains only IMAP accounts and Local Folders. What is the best way to get a working new profile containing as much as possible of the data form the old one?

How To Import from Thunderbird Desktop

   Open Thunderbird Desktop and click ≡ > Tools > Export for Mobile.
   

The Export to mobile doesn't show up on my desktop Thunderbird Desktop is up to date

Any suggestions as to how to import desktop to android?

Since the latest update Thunderbird is extremely slow to launch the mail pane always comes up with no messages for about 7 seconds after that it works but is often not very responsive Why ?? I have disabled all add-on's and recreated the msf files

While deleting blocks of inbox messages the screen view suddenly went to full screen. By this i mean i have the menu bar at the top and the space bar on the left, the rest of the screen is the actual message that was originally highlighted. (i suspect fat finger syndrome and extra keys pushed) but i can not get back to the classic view even though it is ticked in the view/layout menu no matter what i try. all possibilties in the view menu explored, app restarted just came back to full screen. i have searched help database and cant find anything else to try. To all intents it is locked on this screen and i cant find a way out.

Great problem to navigate back after sending/reading e-mail, checking enclosed and so on. Waiting up to 5, 7 minutes to get back in business.

A strange problem... On a few occasions I have had a situation where and an email sent using the Thunderbird app under Windows 10 from an IMAP account appears to have been sent but not received. On investigation the email has been moved into the local Sent folder but when looking on Webmail on the server it is not in the Sent folder there. Other emails sent the same day are. I get no error messages. I don't know the order in which the emails are processed but could it be that there is some failure in the process , but how and why?

Hello everyone,

Since updating to the latest version 128.4.3esr (64-bit), I’m having trouble with external content not displaying in emails. Even though I’ve enabled the option under "Privacy" > "Email Content" > "Allow Remote Content in Messages", external content is still generally blocked.

Every time I receive a new email, I get the message: "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message."

In the previous version, this worked without any issues, and I didn’t have to manually allow content for each email. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this, or is this perhaps a bug in the current version?

Thanks in advance for any help! 😊
