Thunderbird सहायक फोरम

Just upgraded to SuperNova (115.3). In the previous version (102.15) there was a dropdown that had Get All New Messages - meaning from all accounts, and/or you could select any account individually to get new messages. Now in SuperNova that's been replaced with the silly little cloud/download icon, and I don't see anywhere to select all new messages vs. single account. I'm in unified view, and when I have the unified inbox selected, you'd think it would default to 'get all' from there, but it appears to be downloading from just one account. If I select one of the individual accounts on the view pane and hit 'get messages' there are new messages to retrieve there that didn't come down when the unified inbox was selected.

Is this configurable?

Thanks

Hi all Since 26/09/2023 I haven't been able to receive or send emails on my main dektop PC. At first when trying to download e-mails I got a "Secure Connection Failed" error. I was using version 115.15.1(?) It has since updated to version 115.3 and the error message hasn't re-appeared, although I still can't send or receive anything. When I try to send an email I get this message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) relay.plus.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. I have a laptop where I have copied all the account settings across to and that works perfectly. (on the same internet connection)

I am using Win 10 64 bit with Thunderbird 64 bit and Kaspersky IS, with Mozilla as an exception in the firewall settings.

I am a bit of a numpty with email programs, so have no idea where to start.

Regards Keith

I have two problems with Supernova that I hope will be corrected in future bug fix upgrades. 1. When I delete an email the display resets with the location of the deleted email off screen at the top. I have to scroll back up all that way to go back to work on my next emails. In the past it did not reset the screen - everything stayed the same, just without the deleted email. 2. Emails I have not read are in bold. I have not been able to identify why, but some emails do not change off bold once I have read them. The just sit there as bold no matter how many times I click on them.

Toad-Hall,

Sorry for going off-topic - Initially, "Clearing "Junk" folder", I expected to be a very simple question - BUT - NOT.

Anyway, you answered "How to clear the "Junk" folder & size" (It makes no sense to me - BUT - gets the job done) - Thank you.

The image of my folder structure I sent the first time was before I learned of "***" / "Show Total Message Count" & "Show Folder Size" which I like to know (NOW - I know).

I have an att/yahoo email account. I have used thunderbird to access the email for quite some time (years). However recently (since September 20, 2023) i only get the message "no messages to download" after a long wait. The log on process seems to work fine. I have tried everything I can think of and everything I find suggested on line, but the problem has not gone away. It appears this started at the same time as Thunderbird was updated to 115.3.0. I am using POP3 settings and leave email on server (indefinitely).

I am able to access and download new email with my Iphone. I am also able to access and download new email using a browser and the yahoo email interface.

Any ideas? I've waited for the problem to fix itself for 9 days, but no luck.

Hello! I'm having problems with setting up my yandex account in Thunderbird. App password is absolutely correct. The most curious thing is I was able to setup another yandex account, but now I can't setup the second. I asked yandex for support, but they told me to ask you for help. Could you help me please?

I usually like to have 4 emails visible in the upper right window and view emails in the lower right 'preview' window. The most recent update limited the size of the preview window, so I can see lots of emails in the upper right window and only an inch or so in the preview window. I prefer to see fewer headers in the upper right window and more 'preview' in the lower right window.

I like Thunderbird and have been using it for many years. This latest update 'fixed' something that didn't need 'fixing'. Thank you.

Using Tb 115.3.1 I've checked/shown "Tags" folders in my Folder pane. I've customized all other folders' columns by first having my desired selection on one folder, then "Apply Columns to Folder and its children..." for each account I have. I've looked into applying the same to my "Tags" folders but I couldn't find if there is such possibility?

At the end I applied my preferred columns to each "Tags" folder individually. For tag-folders I added "Account" column as well but I wanted the rest of the columns as with my other account folders. It would be nice if "Tags" folders could be targeted by the "Apply columns to...".

I sent 2 attachments in several emails lately, but when I open my own attachments, my selected files do not show up. Instead I see the cover page of the last folder I had open. What's wrong

I hate the way the new Thunderbird version looks, can't get normal number of emails at once, can't read any of them at the bottom of the page. Please give me my old version back. This was a horrid intrusion with no warning that it wasn't just a normal update

Used thunderbird with comcast for over 10 years without probs. In early July 2023 moved from Xfinity area to one not supported and became a disconnected user. New service was with community wifi and COX Cable ISP. Everything worked fine until 28 September 2023 when attempting to send email, received error message as shown. SMTP server settings not changed and have been reset and verified as shown. Xfinity tech support has checked their side and claim no problem. This is sort of verified as I can send outgoing email when logged into the xfinity site. The only hint is the current configuration worked for three months and then stopped without notice or reason on 28 September. Any suggestions appreciated.

The only choices for installing updates to Thunderbird are 1. install automatically or 2. Notify me and let me choose. Could there be a third choice so that I don't get notified at all? I have been extremely happy with this mail program and have used it exclusively for more than a decade. Perhaps I am stuck in my ways but I tried the newest version and decided I much preferred the look and feel of version 102 more. Obviously it is not difficult to keep declining to update but it would be nice if I didn't have to see the notice all the time. Thanks for your help and for maintaining a great program

In Thunderbird from v102 (I think) onwards, a new message is indicated by a yellow/orange diamond indicator to the left of the subject heading.

Unlike other "status flag" elements in the message list ("Read status", "Starred", "Priority" and so on) – which are columns that can be repositioned or removed like any other column – this indicator seems to be implemented as an integral part of the "Subject" column, and the user can't do anything in the UI to remove it.

(You can see from the HTML in the screenshot that it uses a placeholder img element inside the table cell that contains the subject line: the default CSS renders this img with the yellow/orange graphic.)

I could get rid of this indicator easily enough with some code in userChrome.css. However, that's not consistent with "Read status", "Starred", "Priority" etc, which a user can simply remove with the column chooser in the UI.

Am I missing something: is there a way of removing this "new message" indicator without custom CSS?

My thunderbird just upgraded to 115.2.2 (32-bit) - my windows is 64-bit - but I can't read the preview window or emails. Everything is in a gigantic font so I see only 2 lines at a time in both the main email edit screen and the preview screen. I tried changing it to Calibri 12 in Settings (it was Calibri 17) but that makes no difference. I also don't like that I have to go through File menu now to get messages for just one account. Is there a way to downgrade back to my old version? I guess that would be 115.2.1. Thank you!

This issue started as soon as Thunderbird updated to 115.3.1 (64 bits).

I was in another window, a full screen (borderless) game, and as soon as I received a new e-mail, Thunderbird minimized the game to focus on the Thunderbird window. I tested this sending a e-mail to myself and the same thing happened but also tested this while writing this message and this time the focus did not change to Thunderbird.

So as a workaround I am having to close Thunderbird as I am playing games.

Everything else but link opening works.

There are no "content" settings that would clash on "HTTP / HTTPS content type".
