Thunderbird Community Forum

I really hate typing so I welcome every oportunity to import data, text, appointments etc. My problem is with recent downloads from MyChart (Epic Systems) the add to your calendar option for appointments downloads an ICS file. I can add the ICS file but the right click edit option is disabled. I have noticed that "Provider for Google Calendar" an extension is disabled and I cannot enable it. It is incompatable with TB141. I am runnining Windows 10. I cannot find the FAQ site.

Up until this point the extension p[erated flawlessly. It was updated on July1 within a few days when I can document the problem begining.

my main account used to get hundreds of messages. Now I'm only getting 1 (or less) a day.

But what's worse is that all my accounts are mixed up! I get a message for one account, but it's in the wrong account!

I wouldn't know how to do this on purpose, if I wanted to. Should I just delete all my messages? Should I kill and redefine all my accounts?

Thanks Ken Whitaker

Why do I get this message" You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site" smtp.genemaas.net:587 when sending email?

Since Wednesday (July 23), I have been getting "Login to account xxx failed" messages when trying to download emails. Note - I'm on the Verizon/AOL email source. Is this a known problem? I haven't changed anything on my PC recently.

Hi

I'd appreciate some help.

I have already set up two Mailcow email accounts in the same profile in Thunderbird. I want to set up a third but I've lost the "add an existing email" page. How do I find it again? I've checked the file menu or the three dash menu on the top right of the page and the option is missing.

How can I find it again?

I was forced to erase my PC because it was infected with malware. I saved my Tbird profile to my HDD before erasing. I pasted the saved profile to %Appdata% >Thunderbird, copying 1,777 items. When I brought up Tbird, I got the Account Setup window, so I don't think the profile was actually there. What did I do wrong?

This request to confirm a gmail account just began to pop up and appears to be spam. I cannot find its source.

Windows 11, up to date. Thunderbird, up to date.

1. I have never used this account with Thunderbird in the past and it is not an email used for communications. 2. Have only accessed this Gmail account via a web browser and am NOT logged into this google account. 3. The web address listed is not accessible. 4. The only object that links to anything is the Next button. 5. Have run a full Windows Defender scan - reports not threats or objects of concern.

Any direction on how to make it go away?

If it is a Google issue, any direction on where to look?

Any help is much appreciated. I am a long time user and supporter of Thunderbird and this is just annoying.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, Kevin in Annapolis Maryland, USA

Google calendar provider has stopped working and I can’t import my calendar into Thunderbird. I fill out the Google account email and password, but I got a message saying that it can’t reach the server.

I've been using Thunderbird for years. The other day after an update (related?) I could not send or get email. Tried many things. Each time when I was prompted for password, it failed authentication. Went on my email server (AOL) and changed password. Still failed authentication in Thunderbird with new password. Password is not listed in password manager. Deleted old accounts and tried to start a new one. Can't get past password prompt. Can get email with Gmail and AOL. They both found password on their own. Password is hidden. Had a friend create an account on his Thunderbird app with my info. He could not get past authentication. So doubt reinstalling Thunderbird will help. Can't get support help from AOL. Ideas?

Thunderbird loaded twice, and I closed the first instance, however this has caused a gap in time in the emails retrieved from a POP mail server. I have tried reseting the mails to "unread" on the mail server but Thunderbirdstill does not download them. is there anyway to reset the time window or otherwise downolad theemails that thundirbird thinks are downloaded? I have tried repairing the inbox folder.

I changed settings to no threading, but it continues to show the thread column in all the folders and do threading unless I manually remove the threading column from each folder - very time consuming. How do I get rid of the threading column globally?

When I click on the Add-on compatibility check drop down arrow at the top the message box for add-ons is too big on the screen so I can't see the whole list to the bottom of the box and the box isn't resizeable? Anybody know a solution please?

I recently had a hardware crash on my fedora machine and transferred my thunderbird backup to my mac. I have a new fedora machine and want to transfer my thunderbird profile from the mac to the fedora machine. The problem is that Fedora is currently at version 128.12.0 and the mac is currently at version 141.0.

In response to a previous question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513367 I got a suggestion (which I have not been able to make work). 'if you Exit Thunderbird and access profile name folder, then delete the 'compatibility.ini' file, you should be able to use the profile on an older version.'

Here is the revelant directories on the mac

``` bradbell>ls Library/Thunderbird/Profiles y0mvyr8l.default

bradbell>cat Library/Thunderbird/profiles.ini [General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/y0mvyr8l.default

bradbell>ls Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/y0mvyr8l.default/ | grep compatibility compatibility.ini ```

I think I should put y0mvyr8l.default in $HOME/.thunderbird but I am not sure what should I change ?

I am missing some sub folders and also can not create new subfolders. A saved profile does have those subfolders in it but will not show in thunderbird. When I try to create subfolders the "Create Subfolder" is greened out. I have a very old profile from Windows 10 but Idon't what to use it as I would lose my latest emails which are important. What parts of the thunderbird program could be causing this and how do I get my subfolders to show in Thunderbird if they are in the profile.

Every now and then a folder flag will change to the drafts flag/icon, it seems to be a random occurrence which can happen to any sub-folder. Up until the most recent Thunderbird upgrade I had a working extension called FolderFlags which allowed me to go into the Folder properties and change it back but that extension no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird and there is no alternative extension. How do I change the flag back to it showing as an ordinary sub-folder in my Inbox instead of Drafts? As an interim measure I've created a new sub-folder and copied the emails from the old into the new but that's not ideal at all. I hope somebody will create an updated extension but has anyone any other suggestions please?
