Thunderbird Community Forum

I am trying to add a new identity, I already have 3, so perhaps there is a limit? I have created the identity under manage identities with no problems. However, the new identity does not appear in Thunderbird, where the others are. The address is not recognized, and does not receive emails. I feel like I have missed a fundamental step but have followed the help instructions & cannot see what I am doing wrong. Ive checked and the program is up to date. I hope someone can offer advice thanks Anne

I have 'Allow remote content in messages' turned off.

When viewing a message with remote content, I see the bar "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message", however the 'Preferences' dropdown described in Remote Content in Messages does not exist...

I want to show remote content for a single message, but this seems impossible!

What am I doing wrong?

Hello.I just want to let you know,that somehow the client what i uzsdeing is forget to make undread massages to read when i takea look at them.When i double clivck on them they open a diffferent page and then they get read status.What could cause this?

I have an old iMac running macOS High Sierra. After a power surge last night, I have been unable to access any mail accounts. Apparently this is because my iMac cannot use two-factor authorization. The recommended fix is to use Mozilla Thunderbird. I downloaded this, but when I double-click the .dmg file, I get a corrupt image message. I am wondering if this is because I have a 32-bit machine.

TB address book has duplicate entries or other entries that will not delete or edit? Tried to even change the name. Close reopen and it reverts back to original. ??? Thanks for the help.

[Edit:] I'm using Kubuntu with Thunderbird installed via flatpak using the flathub repo.

When attempting to add my calendars on our Nextcloud server, I can't get further then the second dialog.

Steps to reproduce: 1. New account > Calendar 2. Select "On the network" 3. Enter the correct user name and address (I did try the server address AND both CalDAV addresses presented in the calendar settings on the Nextcloud web app). 4. Press "Search for calendars" 5. After an extended period of time a dialog with a title "Adding a security exception" appears, claiming, that our Nextcloud site does not have a correct certificate (it does).

This is where the journey ends. If you add an exception, the dialog disappears and you are still at number 3. Trying again will produce the same result. Funny thing is, that you can press the button "Load certificate" in the "exception dialog" and then the same dialog will declare that our site does indeed have a correct certificate! But it will only allow you to close the dialog and you are still at number 3 and without any chance to add your calendars.

This is a completely new installation of Thunderbird. There are other folks that are using Thunderbird with their calendars on the same Nextcloud server and everything works happily. I presume this is a bug with the newer version of Thunderbird or something of that sort.

I get a message saying "The certificate is invalid." And I am currently unable to receive emails. When I open the server settings screen, it says "The certificate exception already exists."

I'm being notified that I have to give a password for a mail from an unknown sender. Giving my Mozilla password doesn't help. How do I solve this because it is a recurring request which is very annoying .

I have tried the procedure outlined in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-delete-messages#thunderbird:win11:tb152 several times. The account in question is a POP account. The procedure creates a Trash folder that I can see in File Explorer. However it doesn't show up in Thunderbird and i cannot delete any messages in this account.

Here is how I got to this point: I was deleting a two messages that Bitdefender had found were infected. The messages disappeared but so did the Trash folder. I know the infected messages are there somewhere because Bitdefender keeps reporting them. Now I can neither locate these deleted messages nor delete any other message in this account.

When I press send, the little box 'sending message' appears along with the blue line, but it doesn't progress beyond that even after a very long wait. SMTP settings have been checked and are correct.

Currently, Thunderbird only downloads my emails when it's open. That means that, after a week away from home, it can take 15 minutes or more for all emails to totally download. How can I make it do this in real time, as does my phone or my Cogeco Webmail?

I have been using Thunderbird for over 10 years (currently version 152.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11). For the past few months, I have intermittently been receiving duplicate emails. What could be causing this issue, and what are the possible solutions?

I can send a message to one of my address book contacts without issue, but their replay always winds up in my spam folder. I click on "not" spam, but that does not resolve the issue. I do 'not' have an issue with any other of my address book contacts.

This has gone on for a while.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

On upgrade to 152.0, a pop-up asked for options I have not seen before. I cannot find info about what the net.thunderbird option is, nor why I would or would not want to click it? Any help out there?

Thanks!

Assistance with Read Receipt and Delivery Status Notification

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

I have been trying to determine why I do not receive read receipts after selecting Return Receipt and Delivery Status Notification under the Options tab when sending emails. This has been an ongoing issue for more than 10 years.

I am currently using Thunderbird version 152.0 on one computer and 140.10.2 ESR (32-bit) on another. Despite trying numerous settings and troubleshooting steps over the years, I have never been able to receive a read receipt.

I would be truly grateful if you could guide me in the right direction or let me know if there is a setting I may have overlooked. If there are any troubleshooting steps or additional information you need from me, I would be happy to provide it.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Brenda

When preparing an email and leaving the TB window, it saves a copy to the Draft folder. It should delete this email in drafts after it is sent. Instead, TB creates multiple entries in the Drafts everytime going out and back in TB.

Is there a setting to change to stop this behaviour

Hi,

I have a domain with catch all address.

I have default send from address as john@mydomain.com. When i press new message or hit reply , from is john@mydomain. 

With catch all setup, some email would be addressed email1@mydomain.com, email2@mydomain etc...

Is it possible than when i hit reply button on email, the from address would be set to "to" address of email i'm replying to ( for example email1@mydomain.com), instead of sender defined in account settings?

Thanks, Mario
