I've installed the latest desktop version of Thunderbird to evaluate. The signature is added only for new messages and not included when replying or forwarding a message. I've tested the signature with both plain text and html signature - both doesn't work as expected. I've also tried pasting the html code in the input field and attaching it as a file. Is this an intentional omission of functionality or I'm I missing something? I'm attaching my account settings interface.

Emails received in reply seem to couple themselves under the original sent email. How do I tell Thunderbird to treat them as separate, and stored them in my inbox as a separate individual email. Thank for your advice. Kanga85

我的邮件客户端为128.7.1，用的时IMAP协议。在客户端界面显示收件箱（包括收件箱下级文件夹）总共大小为78GB,但是在%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹却有恐怖的795GB！！！我尝试压缩收件箱但显示只压缩了7.5GB。。有人知道这是什么问题吗？我应该怎样减小%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹的大小？谢谢。

Hello, Not sure if my first post was published.

Over the last week non of my mails was sent to the SMTP server. I uninstalled the account to start over again.

Upon configuring the mailbox account, the MAPI step was successful.

However, configuring the SMTP server, I am receiving an error: Unexpected end of stream (view image) What is the solution?

Just lately, my gmail sent emails are going into trash folder and not being stored in the sent mail folder. In account settings, under Copies & Folders, I have the box checked for to "Place a copy in" and have tried both "Sent" folder and Other "Sent Mail". But the sent messages are not staying store in either of those files.

Most attachments come through as application/octet-stream which I should be perfectly able to view via "gnome-text-editor" or "gedit" etc. I want to be given the option to use one of these.

I don't see any mechanism in the menus to allow this, though. The "application/octet-stream" is conspicuously absent from the content-type list, which is absurd since that's what 99% of all attachments are recognized as.

Note that I want this as an *OPTION* to going through the steps of downloading and then viewing the file.

I installed Thunderbird 138.0 a couple of months ago and was really pleased with its reliability and simplicity. About a month ago, it stopped retrieving emails from our local ISP. After a few very frustrating days of trying to fix the problem myself, I contacted our ISP. They told me that everything on their end was fine, but that I should probably change my password, just in case. I did that and Thunderbird started to work again as usual. About a week later it stopped again and nothing I try fixes it. I can't keep going to my ISP to change my password. The same thing is happening to Thunderbird on my Android phone, except every once in a while, it downloads 20 or so emails, then days of nothing. Its intensely frustrating! Your insight and help would really be appreciated. Thanks, Audrey

Keep getting a message for only some of our email addresses when sending messages. Attached is a screenshot of the message. I have checked the smtp settings and they each have their own outgoing settings and they are linked to the correct user name but some work and some do not. We also are getting an error that requests us to login to yahoo. The yahoo mail popup window opens, we enter the user name and it pops up the Turbify business email popup window (because it is a business email). We again enter the user name and password for the email and it opens an error message blocking the turbify site sayin it is suspicious. We have deleted the email account and then added it back, but it does not solve the problem.

When I receive an e-mail that has a JPEG attachment (Windows 10 Professional 64-bit), Thunderbird opens the JPEG image with Microsoft Photo Viewer. When the image opens, I cannot rotate the image. If I save the image and then open that saved image via the same Microsoft application, the rotate icon in the upper left is operative. Is this due to the permissions in the image being opened by Thunderbird from alt/local/temp? Thanks.

Sometimes I'll get an email that will not open to read. And it is at random doing this.

What I see is this. In Outlook it is shown but will not open. While I get the same email in "gmail", it will open. If I open it in gmail and go back to outlook, it is now open. If I open another email in outlook and then go back to the one that does not open. It will not open again.

Does not make sense, does anyone have a "fix" for this problem? Thanks ahead for any suggestions or solutions.

Shortly after my Win10 x64 ver 22H2 update on tuesday 5/13, my Tbird fails to save any sent message with an attachment to the local sent folder. It is sent correctly and saved with attachment in the IMAP server's sent folder. The same message sent with no attachment will correctly be saved to the local sent folder as it should. In both cases the message "saving to sent folder" is displayed. The TB version was just updated to 128.10.2esr (64-bit) and issue continued as before. PC restarts make no difference. SFC system scan finds no issues. Had no issues with this PC & TB over last 5 years until now. Issue is annoying, since I frequently use the local sent folder to forward messages to additional recepients.

Hi I have been used to Thunderbird responding to my beginning to type recipient names with a list of matches. Suddenly it has stopped doing so. I have checked that all my addresses are still present in the Address Book (relief!), but I note that the Contacts sidebar is completely empty (even the Address Book options are missing). I can't find a setting to correct this, and would be very grateful to know how to revert to the previous good performance. Thanks

Suddenly, the conversation view has disappeared from my Thunderbird. This happened in version 128, and I have now updated it to the latest version, 138.0.2, but the problem persists. Previously, if I selected any message and right-clicked, there was a local menu option 'View as conversation' (or something similar - I use a localised version). Now, if I right-click the message, it opens with only two options: 'Open in a new pane' or 'Open in a new window'. No conversation view. The default shortcut (CTRL + SHIFT + O) does not work either.

(I did not change any settings, I only compacted folders and tried to rebuild thir index because the global search did not find existing messages.)

Any help on how to restore this functionality would be very much appreciated! Thanks

A few days ago I stopped getting my mail. I checked to see if the firewall was set to allow Thunderbird. It was. I tried changing account settings. I found out that if I changed Connection Security from STARTTLS to SSL/TLS there was no change. But, if I went to NONE my mail came through. Fine, but I don't want to go on without Security. Any suggestions?

unable to send emails, "the message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.alburyathletics.com timed out

Thunderbird opens okay, but does not check for new emails. If you press it to manually trigger a refresh - it does not react. It just constantly says DONE in the bottom left hand corner
