How the [edited] do I turn automatic spam filtering off? I've literally unchecked EVERYTHING related to junk or spam, but it's still marking every [edited] email that I get as spam. Even addresses in my address book!

When I type the word "attachment" in version 149.0.2 I no longer get the warning bar across the bottom of the screen. I do have the "check for missing attachments" box checked in Settings.

Have been using the 104.9.0esr 64-bit release on Windows 11 for some time now (mostly for email, involving a number of email accounts) and have been generally satisfied...

...but discovered when I started looking into switching over to the 145 default release that I have a capital-P Problem. The first thing recommended on making that change is - sensibly - to back up one's Thunderbird profile. Only as far as I can tell, I don't *have* any such file anywhere on my system. [To answer the obvious question - yes, I've got "View" set in File Explorer such that it should be showing me hidden files.]

I have drilled downward through all the USERS subdirectories on my C: drive. "Default" and "Public" have nothing at all (as one might expect). My personal subdirectory has a Mozilla directory under "Roaming", and both a Firefox and a Thunderbird directory therein, but the only things in the Thunderbird directory are an empty folder labeled "Crash Reports" and a tiny "desktop.ini" file.

There is a "Mozilla Firefox" directory under Program Files, but nothing in that hierarchy looks applicable. There is a "Mozilla Maintenance Service" directory under "Program Files (x86)", but nothing there appears relevant. There is a "Mozilla [alpahnumeric hash]" subdirectory under "Program Data", but nothing there appears relevant.

And in fact, I begin to think I have a bigger issue than I thought I did...because the more I poke at my C: drive, the less I'm seeing...to the extent that I'm not at all sure where the Thunderbird program itself (not to mention a quite large accumulation of associated email) is being kept.

Which would be nice to know if one were attempting to back up one's mail before changing program versions....

Once I delete a message, T-bird (147.0.4 on W11 Pro) begins compacting, and then I'm stuck until it's done. This is new behavior. Previously the system compacted occasionally, but now it's every single time I delete something from the inbox (which happens frequently during the day, of course, sigh).

Anyway, many thanks in advance for help/guidance and if it matters, I'm one of those who contributes monetarily for use versus freeloading. Also, no, we don't believe updating to the latest version is productive for our situation so I hope this is not the solutuion. -- Regards,

Previous Colors add-on is apparently not him compatible with the most recent version of Thunderbird which installed itself in the last few days.

Does anyone know if it updates to that plug-in is anticipated?

If not, are there any similar add-ons available?

Thanks! Bill

突然、どこにもメールの送信ができなくなってしまいました。 受信はできます。 KDDIを使っていますが、問い合わせしましたが、サーバーに問題ありません。 Webメールでは送信できます。 Thunderbird側の問題のようです。 添付のようなメッセージが表示されエラーになってしまいます。 解決策を教えてください。

Suddenly, I can no longer send emails anywhere. I can still receive emails. I use KDDI, and I contacted them, but they said there are no issues with their servers. I can send emails using webmail. It seems to be an issue with Thunderbird. The message shown in the attachment appears, and I get an error. Please let me know how to fix this.

Have just downloaded Tbird to a new PC. Only view I can choose is a totally useless Vertical View. Unusable. Can I download a previous version? I have no need for pgp security. Will classic view be coming reasonably soon? Can I somehow upload a profile from the old PC? I Will download if possible and if you tell me how. Otherwise it will have to be bye bye Tbird and use Outlook. Hoping you can help me. Thanks, Gordon X@gmail.com

I recently bought a new laptop and upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I am a Spectrum user for my email server and Thunderbird as my client. All of my IMAP settings are correct according to Spectrum support. For some reason I can only receive email messages send to me but cannot send any out, including to myself. When I try to send anything it times out. What is the problem?

This is the third time I am sending this request for support. Here was my original request:

"I am a Spectrum user for Internet/email in the US. I recently migrated from Windows 10 to Windows 11. On both platforms I am a Thunderbird user for my email client. My settings are for IMAP (port 993 for incoming and 587 for outgoing) on both Spectrum and Thunderbird. Since migration I am no longer able to successfully send messages but am receiving fine. I have been on Spectrum's help desk and can successfully send and receive messages but when I try to send anything from Thunderbird the send request fails after several minutes. I need help! This is very frustrating."

The first time, I received a response from Manu Audino (Mozilla Support) who told me that his team's responsibility is to assist with restoring access to Mozilla accounts and subscription services. Manu gave me the link for Thunderbird support which is took me here. So I ask again for support to resolve my problem for sending out email messages. Since sending another request for help I have received nothing. I need help!

Hi, I have changed my PC and in setting up Thunderbird I find I can only add two accounts. I cannot find a way to add that third address and account. I am looking for help with that, please.

In den Vorschaufenstern sind in Thunderbird seit Kurzem keine Anhänge mehr zu sehen. Habe ich unbewusst eine falsche Einstellung vorgenommen? Habe alles versucht, keine Lösung erhalten.

I am working on a new laptop running Windows 11. Thunderbird was successfully installed a week ago and was running fine until I made a change related to OneDrive - attempting to remove OneDrive as a default location for files. later, I attempted to open an MS Word attachment to an email and got this message from Microsoft Word: "Unable to open the existing file: (C:\Users\..(myname)..\AppData..\Normal.dotm)".

I think my OneDrive action - removing a OneDrive folder from my C:/Users/..(name)../ location on my laptop - per Windows support directions, caused this. Maybe a disconnect between Thunderbird and MS Word? I can open other file types that are attachments.

Can you help explain and correct this problem?

Thanks

Good day, thank you in advance for your help.

I have two questions: 1. Which Thunderbird version is better than ESR? Could you share your opinion?

It's faster and it applies all changes more quickly, that's how it seems right now.

If there are still 32-bit and 64-bit versions available simultaneously, I'll test it sometime. I have no idea what kind of channel that would be.

Problem question:

In Thunderbird 64-bit POP3, the font changes to blue for every second email, including in replies. Can you tell me how to display every email in black? Only the second email in the inbox is displayed in blue, so the text isn't blue when receiving emails. When composing, everything looks black. What do I need to change?

Question 2: Regardless of whether it's 32-bit, 64-bit, or any channel, I see updates to the latest version, and in the program itself, there's an option to view older updates, but everything is white. I only see white and nothing else. Is this intentional? I can't see the update, but it's still current?

``` Thanks for the information

I am totally frustrated with Thunderbird. All I want to do is send and receive email, but I always run into problems. This time I cannot send or receive emails because the password is incorrect. I changed my password BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO EXPIRE IN 5 DAYS AND I TRIED TO LOGIN AND SEND EMAILS BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING IT IS SHOWING THAT INCORRECT PASSWORD so why is this happening? I removed all OLD passwords FROM PASSWORD MANAGER to my email and Thunderbird still SHOWING INCORRECT PASSWORD AND I M NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE THE EMAILS SINCE 10 DAYS. . Please advise.

Hi, Thunderbird search as we know is and always has been megabroken. I search for "4.91" and it does not find anything even though there are e-mails with that string in subject and body.

Isn't it about time to fix it?

When ever I try to send an email list I get the reply below. Usedto work waht am I doing wrong??? HELP Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <Reminder>: recipient address must contain a domain. Please check the message recipient "Reminder" and try again

Regards John Dobson.

I had a problem and deleted thunderbird. Now I have reinstalled and cant get to the allow button for account setup. It seems to be way down the page and I cant sroll down to get to it.
