I've followed Thunderbird setup according to "Automatic Conversion of Google mail accounts to OAuth 2.0 Authentication" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20) The failure is described in my initial post below:

Mozilla Support - Signin, and use of Thunderbird https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1484529#answer-1729438

LarryGad post (Reply to Ashley LambertonQuestion owner): I get the same screenshot Ashley posted above. But...clicking Allow doesn't download my Gmail messages. And clicking the link, Account Permissions, just produces a blank window. An idiosyncrasy is I'm the domain administrator for a "Free Legacy Edition of G Suite for personal use".

This paragraph may not be relevant to the above issue. I did stumble across the Account settings link (https://myaccount.google.com/general-light?pli=1) which contains the line: 'Connected accounts View and manage your accounts from other services' Clicking the 'View ...' link goes to https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts and displays the message: "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know." Highlighting the 'View ...' link shows https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts?authuser=0

Thanks in advance.

Can you please help me in composing a message, specifically, changing the line spacing? As I type, I may choose a different font which may require me to choose a different line spacing, either bigger or smaller for readability and aesthetic purposes. Thanks!

Guys, I am on TB 128.6.0esr (64-bit) and I am using TB since Netscape era (25 years now).

Since last update, when I try to forward an email in my Sent box, it produces a blank window with only the subject filled-in. No content, no attachments.

I tried Repair to the box but it's still the same.

The problem happens with all recent mails but not with all older mails. For example, some older mails, sent e.g. one year ago, or more, when clicking forward, behave as expected, with content and attachments. Other ones, however, do not work and open as blank windows, as I explained.

It works always with "Forward as Attachment", but this is NOT what I want.

Has anyone faced this problem? Do you have any suggestions? Should I file a bug?

Please advise.

Thanks, Nick

WHY is reading my email SOOOOOO EXASPERITING????

Headers are HUGE but the main thing, the text body, can only be read one line at a time!

You really do not seem to have the concept of what your users are going through!

There is no way to fix that on our end!

Smaller text size would just make what we need to see and read too small to read! Why not a separate butten to show all they jumplk loodinge header test?

This really miserable to work with. Or try to work with it. The eamil headers would still take over and hide what we need. You think WE are worried about fixing spam that way? It's taken over by the time you try to see what is going on!

WHY IN YOUR CRUEL HEARTS DO YOU NOT ALLOW US TO GO BACK TO WHAT VERSIONS DID WORK WHEN PEOPLE LOVED THUNDERBIRD?

Thunderbird 138.0 x64 will NOT check folders for emails/messages OR deleted emails/messages (other than the INBOX folders) unless I FORCE it to by clicking through EACH folder, INDIVIDUALLY. And sometimes even THAT fails to see or note existing emails/messages sent previously OR saved for future reference. Yet I can WATCH it display processes as they work through various folders at the bottom of the "Home" page. Won't show any "changes of or to", DRAFTS, SENT, TRASH or any of my added folders such as ARCHIVE or SAVED EMAILS although my "email providers" (Spectrum, Gmail) show every email/message available in every folder.

What's actually going on? I don't understand and I ask for help here, please.

Oh, and Thunderbird MOBILE is even worse. If it's NOT at it's "polling time" (every 15 minutes or whatever) it doesn't get new messages unless or until I go to the "HOME" page and tap the "Check Now" (rotating arrow) Icon. Any help here?

Thanks for any help, other than "take a long walk off a short pier".

How do I turn on the format text toolbar/menu in Thunderbird 128.9.1 running on Ubuntu 24? When I compose a new message, this menu doesn't seem to be available. I've tried using automatic and HTML only in Settings -> Composition -> sending format. In View -> Toolbars I no longer have a format text option (as I did with TB running on Win10)

Thanks.

Earlier I asked a question about why Thunderbird crashes when I click on the link to a healthcare forum sometimes. Someone named Wayne kindly responded by asking if I reported the crash, but I am not getting the window that asks you to report the crash and leave a comment or crash report # either anymore. I'm only getting the window that says TB crashed and you can choose from force quit or wait only. Thanx again for any help. ~Kelly

I have added my calendar to Thunderbird and it is syncing with Google but when I add a new event it only allows me to set one notification time. I have a standard notification of 30 minutes before something happens and in Google I can add additional notifications like a day before or a week before. I don't see that I can do that when I create the event in Thunderbird. Need to create all of my calendar events in my Google calendar?

I had to do a clean install of my Mac. Recovered my Thunderbird settings from Time Machine, but for some reason the mail view now looks like this. How can I get the message list looking like it did, without such thick rows?

Hi All. Long time (25 years) user here, first time poster. Just want to report weird issue/bug, thought to start here on the forum: I'm a fast typer and often sending emails quite quickly. When I click 'reply' to a message, for example, I start typing pretty shortly thereafter. What I'm seeing in the past month or two (sorry, don't have accurate info on when this started) is that the focus briefly jumps to the 'to' field of my message before jumping to the body (where I think it should be from the beginning). The result is that I start typing my message (e.g. "Hello Gloria, Thanks for your email ...."), and get an auto-matched address from my address book (e.g. "He" matches to "Henry Yu") plugged in to the to: field. Then the rest of the text continues in the body field.

Sometimes I notice, sometimes I don't (if there are multiple recipients in particular it's harder to notice the extra address).

It's obviously undesirable to be sending messages to basically randomly selected addresses from my address book. Why is Thunderbird sending the focus to the to: field for a moment, and then jumping to the body? I suggest just putting the focus squarely on the body. Or, lock my keyboard or something until the message is ready to receive input.

Or would anybody know a workaround to this? Other than slowing down, which is of course what I'm doing at the moment.

I'm on Windows, T-bird 128.9.2esr (64-bit).

Thanks!

Greetings. TB crashes - It originally died after a short period of working. Managed to empty cache which seemed to have solved it, but then it came back with vengence and has given me no chance to explore as it won't load at all. I used to use folders for mail and also regularly compressed, however not the last few years. I also have a few Mozbackup files, but restoring a recent one of these has not helped. I am now finding it frustrating not being able to reach my messages. It is set up mainly as POP, with a number of different email addresses all reached through a common inbox. I have been using TB for decades and this is first issue like this. Glad of any suggestions. David

Just got a new pc with windows 11, I used the export from my older Thunderbird to create the file and it worked great, but I messed up when I installed Thunderbird on my new pc, I was so impressed (and curious) that Thunderbird could auto set up my email account, so I let it do it and it worked. I have 3 email accounts and when I used the import I thought it would overwrite the one it just created, but it didn't so I'm missing 3-4 folders I had on that one account It imported the other 2 accounts and folders great Is there a way I can get those folders from the old pc and copy over to the new?

I tried to uninstall Thunderbird from the new pc so I could do it right, only use the import function and get everything, but it doesn't uninstall much, everything is still there. Or is there another way? Thanks.

TB on desktop is set up for POP3 from my ISP. I found out there is a TB Mobile App for Android. How will this work as far as accessing my messages on the Mobile, but still leaving desktop on POP3? Can I have visibility of emails on Mobile, or do I have to change to IMAP? What about Local Folders, which I use extensively on Desktop.

Keeps on telling me it can't authenticate the outgoing SMTP server for both of my email accounts. Have checked settings and all appears to be in order. I do not want to re-load my accounts because the last time I did that I lost all of my messages because of being on POP 3 setting.

I (by mistake) tried go attach a file that was too big to send in a Thunderbird (gmail) message. Even though I click "Cancel" to the warning "Warning! You are about to send a message of size 29.6 MB. Are you sure you want to do this?" the warning reappears each time I open Thunderbird (and I have to close and restart it to have it send any e-mails). The offending message is not in the drafts or trash folders. How do I tell Tbird to stop trying to send this message?

On my Desktop, I use Thunderbird Desktop Version 128.9.2esr [to access a gmail-account.] On my android phone, I use K-9 MAIL [to access the same gmail-account.]

So, today I get an email from Mozilla talking about a advances/upgrades to Thunderbird. The email went to a video link... so I watched that...

Is there a "new" Thunderbird App???

If yes, Can I just upgrade from my existing version 128.9.2esr... to the new Thunderbird?? Or, do I need to download a brand new Thunderbird app and install???

What about K-9 Mail?? Do I update the existing K(-Mail app to the new Thunderbird android App??? Or is this a new install???

Please help me understand what is going on with Mozilla and Thunderbird...

PS: Has Thunderbird been fixed so that I can access microsoft-email? I realize that microsoft is making it difficult to access email using 3rd party email clients... What is the status on this??

I look forward to your response, Thank you, Kevin

Hello, I have Thunderbird 115 on a Win10 HP laptop. Until today, I could both send and receive emails OK; today, I can only receive emails, for some unknown reason I have an error message with sending only, reading: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.fastmail.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." The SMTP settings match what is on Fastmail's website for POP3. I haven't done anything I can think of since last using Thunderbird that would trigger this. I have updated successfully to Thunderbird 128 OK and that hasn't solved the problem. The email provider is Fastmail (I've been in touch with them, they have given advice, so far, no luck), SMTP settings are on the attached image. The ISP is NBN (National Broadband Network). Antivirus software is McAfee Premium - Individual. It is really frustrating.

Years ago I created a local folder D:\mail for old mails nice to have, but not needed on the server. It works very well. But it seems that it is no longer possible to create a folder like that, separate from the rest. It seems that a new folder should either be created under the general mail account or under Local folders. So is this type a left over thing, no longer possible, but for a while maintained for compatibility?
