Thunderbird Community Forum

In my Thunderbird I have some folders with names printed italic starting with "INBOX". The folders are empty, so it's easy to delete them. After deleting I don't see the folders anymore. But after shutting down Thunderbird and starting Thunderbird again, the folders are back... How do I delete the folders to not see them anymore?? (see also attached screen print)

Best regards, Marianne

I want to make a local back-up not only of my local Thunderbird folders, but also on the on-line folders. I am using IMAP and as far as I get, using the "export options", you only back-up data in the local folder. How do I ensure that I get a local copy of also the on-line inbox (and all of its sub folders)

if I type a hyperlink into the Calendar description field it does not link to the url.

The mouse pointer does not change from a cursor to a pointy hand when I hover over it

I have also tried using the 'Link' button and that creates a blue/underlined url like a traditional clickable link but the result is the same as before.

Please help troubleshoot the problem, at the moment I'm having to copy and paste every link which becomes tedious when there are lots of links

Thanks

Am having prblems authenticating oauth microsoft 365 from tbird ubuntu.. Everything was working fine but suddenly getting auth failures. Phone works fine, and all software is up to date.

Hi im trying to setup auto filtering for my IMAP account. The IMAP account already moves files to subfolders. But i still need to apply my custom auto filtering to them aswell.

This old post (https://www.thunderbird-mail.de/lexicon/entry/70-filter-erstellen-und-verwenden/) says it works with `mail.imap.filter_on_new` set to true. (It does not work for me!)

While this newer post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/organize-your-messages-using-filters) says it doesnt.

Am i doing things wrong? Is it bugged? Is there no way to do it?

Thanks in advance! :D

Have 3 gmail accounts 1 icloud account all are appearing and working, but can't get unified inbox to display anything even though there are emails in all accounts.

I right clicked unified inbox properties and selected all 4 accounts and clicked ok then update. In box shows 0 email. I did shutdown and restart computer????

Below is version info

Thunderbird 140.6.0esr (64 bit)

Yesterday Thunderbird upgraded itself to a version which will no longer run Lightning. For me, this is a crisis as I need access to my calendar. Please don't suggest I get a working copy of Lightning and install it, as apparently no such thing exists.

How do I roll-back to the previous working version? I am running Ubuntu 16.04. I have no idea what the last working version of Thunderbird was but my current (broken) version is 60.2.1.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi, I have a strange experience with thunderbird's calendar: an hour or two after i created a new appointment in my calendar, i cannot change this appointment anymore. When i do so, this appointment is not saved anymore when i click on "save & close". When i alter and save this appointment within the hour it works normally and the item is saved as expected. I searched the settings, but nothing could be found concerning this issue. My OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. Thank you very much for your efforts. Wyl. Holland.

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.
