Hi I need to create a filtering rule so that messages with attachments (specifically PDF files) are moved to another folder. I can't find a parameter anywhere that would allow me to create such a filter. Please help. Is this even possible?

Best regards Slawek

Yesterday Thunderbird suddenly stopped receiving and sending emails on my Notebook. Email still works on my Phone (Samsung Galaxy Email) and settings are the same for both devices. Any suggestions on getting the Notebook version working again?

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Hi,

since I installed Ubuntu 24.04 Thunderbird (V. 128.1.0 as snap app) changes the path of the local directory each time I restart Thunderbird. My original path to the local directory points to a mounted drive e.g. /media/username/disk... Thunderbird changes it to /run/usr/1000/doc/.... How can I avoid this? The same thing happens also to the path of the signature file.

Thank you for your help! Ubuntu

TB 128.2.0esr (64b) Setting a decent Date/Time format should be easy, it's not. This is what I tried - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird I added these formats to Config - intl.date_time.pattern_override.connector_short = {1} {0} intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short They had no effect, see screenshot for before and after. 08:42 for today's time and date = good. 9/3/2024, 09:11 the comma is unnecessary, I want it gone, otherwise good. Monday, September 2, 2024, 17:12 after 7 days ultra verbose? Am I missing something?

All of sudden, clicking a email link on a webpage in any browser on my computer doesn't open Thunderbird, in fact, nothing happens. Thunderbird is set in Windows as my default email program. If I change the default email program to something different, then clicking on a email link in a webpage works. Switching back to Thunderbird as the default email program doesn't work either.

I am using the following operating system:

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎6/‎12/‎2021 OS build 19045.4780 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

The following version of Thunderbird:

128.1.1esr (64-bit) Release notes Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0

My main browsers are Chrome Chrome is up to date Version 128.0.6613.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox 130.0 (64-bit).

Can someone help me fix this problem?

Thank you.

Before the last update, when you assigned a colored label to the message (e.g., work, important, etc.), the entire title, header of the message, took the chosen color. Now you only see a small tag.

'The previous system was definitely more practical. Can it be reactivated?

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

Using TB 115.15. When I delete a number of messages, then empty the trash, I cannot delete another message until I restart Thunderbird. Is there a limit as to the number of emails I can trash prior to emptying the trash?

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

Hello, I'm on the point of reinstalling MS Windows on my laptop and as part of the process I backed up Thunderbird to a USB stick using your instructions "Moving Thunderbird Data to a new computer".

I have four email addresses, one I've used for probably 15+ years, another for 8 years, and two more recent additions. In copying the data to the USB stick, there are two Trash transfers taking significant time, one for 70%, the other for 6%.

I've looked for the Trash folders on my laptop but can't locate them. I have empty Deleted folders (I'm in the UK so perhaps that's just a terminology difference). Obviously I don't want to have these Trash folders transferred into a fresh copy of Thunderbird after the Windows reinstall.

So my question is how do I delete these Trash folders before I copy the Thunderbird data to the USB stick, and how do I prevent them reoccurring?

Grateful for any help with my problem.

Hello, I still have not gotten my answer on how to fix my outgoing emails with Thunderbird, I do not know how to configure it, I have tried many times watching YouTube vidoes, and nothing works!

I need over the telephone assistance or I will have to pay again to get it fixed, and now it has happened all over again. Also, there is a so-called Mozilla Thunderbird customer service phone number, which I do not know whether it is legitimate or a fraudulent phone number, it is (817) 406-3036. As far as I know there is no customer service number on your site, so this make me wary.

                                                               Thank You,
                                                                D.S.

What do I need to do to make my hotmail.com accounts comply with Modern Authentication requirements before September 16/2024 to maintain email access?

My Thunderbird stopped downloading new email messages on August 22 (but is still able to send). Microsoft says that Thunderbird is not comptatible with Windows 10, but it worked fine before the update. Is there now a compatibility issue?

if tb checks emails, they're not downloaded & i keep receiving sound pretending there's email.. until i click on "Get messages" button.

if ur having a nap or sleeping at night, it's harassment, forcing ppl to wake up.

This should be fixed as a bug of Tb.
