Hello,
I'm running Thunderbird 31.5.0 on Windows 8.1. Upon trying to install a certificate (Options -> Advanced -> Certificates -> View Certificates -> Import), the certificate manager prompts me for a password (as expected), which is never accepted. No matter what I type, the password prompt will show up again and thus will never install the certificate. This happens for .p12 as well as .pfx files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some of my addressees display in red, even though they are set up in my contacts. For instance, an addressee A is set up the exact same way as addressee B (first name, last name, display name, e-mail address), but addressee A is red. Both are in the same folder of addresses. This is puzzling. Is it a glitch? Any explanation? Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a folder created under one of my accounts named Archive. In it I had subfolders for previous years. I've discovered they are all missing!
But I have a full profile backup from months ago, but these previous year folders would still have their contents.
How do I get those folders (or therir content into my current profile which is of the same name?

In earlier versions of Thunderbird, you could highlight text in an email, then go to the Link Properties box and paste in the URL information. Now, I have to either manually enter the URL data or, use a simple link with both the link and the hyperlink data being the same. I'm not into typing about a hundred characters of link data when it could be done with a paste function. Am I doing something wrong, or is this the new standard?

Thunderbird worked until yesterday when I received an error message 'There is not enough disk space to download new messages' I deleted/moved to local folders a number of emails from my inbox and, as advised, compacted and set it up to compact automatically. It continued to work for the rest of the day but when I opened it this morning it did not download my emails automatically as usual. I clicked the 'get mail' button but to no avail. I know that I have messages on the server because I have looked on my webmail and they have been received at my Apple mail account and my iPhone I run Mac OS X 10.9.5 and Thunderbird 31.5.0 I have a POP 3 nildram (now TT) account. I hope that this is sufficient information to enable me to resolve the issue and resurrect my Thunderbird account but, as you can see from the tone of this message, I am not terribly computerate.

Recently, I have been unable to login to new gmail accounts from Thunderbird. I get the message that password is incorrect and a suggestion to login from a browser. When I login from a browser I find a message from Google to say someone maybeen trying trying to illegally access my account. It suggests also that I should allow less secure apps. I do this but it has no effect. I still get the password incorrect message from Thunderbird. However, I now no longer get a message from Google about illegal access to my account. That message only occurs on the first attempt from Thunderbird. I have tried turning on and off "allow less secure apps" but it doesn't help. Each time I turn it off I get an email of confirmation.
Curiously, the gmail account which I have been using with Thunderbird for many years still works. I only get the above problem when trying to add a new gmail account to Thunderbird, with a new Thunderbird profile.
I see from previous questions that the answer is to allow less secure apps but this solution does not work for me. I do not have 2-factor gmail authentication. These are new accounts which I only use from my computer.

In this archived thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/other?search=#summarize-question someone has the same problem as me. I recently upgraded from a very old version of TB and dont recall having this problem before (correct me if I am wrong). If I move the mouse from the address entry field down to start my message, the last address it rolled over is used instead of the one I entered. I am regularly sending emails to the wrong recipient.
I realise I can hit the enter button, but old habits are hard to break :)

This started happening about a month or so ago. TB will be fine and download my email. Then it won't do it anymore. It will act like it is trying but nothing happens. If I close and re-open it, it still will not download. When this happens, the only way that it will do it again is if I reboot my computer. Sometimes it happens daily, sometimes it happens every 2-3 days.
It has nothing to do with my mail server I am downloading from. My hard drive is running lower on space (still has almost 60GB free), but I don't see how that is the problem since it works fine again on reboot. It has happened after compacting, but not all the time. I regularly delete the trash folders.
Has anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts as to what may be causing it? Could it have been something in one of the upgrades?

When take a long time replying to an email. Thunderbird "decides" it needs to attach something. Clicking send email gives message "attaching" and seems hang. When I try to it it give me the option to wait or close the message. If I choose close it looses everything. However, if I copy my replay and paste it in a text editor (for safe keeping). Close the reply Create a new reply, get my message from the text editor -- paste it in the new reply and click send. It then sends the reply quite happily
My Question is why does it "think" it needs to attach something

I have two computer terminals. One is connected to internet. THen I have another with an internal network set-up, not connected to internet. Thunderbird installed on both. I download emails on the internet computer, export the messages on a USB stick and import them in my Thunderbird in the other computer. Answer the emails, then export from the outbox and them import to the outbox on my internet computer in Thunderbird. This has worked fine up to now, but since some days I can't send the emails after having imported them in my outbox. I have to reopen each email and send it, and then it goes. But I can't just click send and it sends all one after one. what happens is it processes the email for about a minute and then gives an error message. On each email. What to do?

I have a Thunderbird set up with two email accounts, separate IMAP connections. Messages are downloaded locally when they arrive and are deleted from the server when I delete in my inbox, the local is a mirror of the server messages. Since an update (possibly to version 30.0 ) I have noticed a curious situation:
My Anti Virus (Eset Endpoint Security, Business Edition Version 5) when scanning the computer comes up with numerous viruses, located in my local thunderbird profile, these are then cleaned and removed by the antivirus, but future scans there are more, the virus types and number change.
What I am fairly sure is happening is this: I get a small amount of spam - 20 emails a day for each mailbox, these are easy to recognise and delete, which I do, however some of them have fake / virus attachments which Thunderbird (I presume) downloads, but when I delete the message, the attachment is not also deleted and is instead left dormant and unattached but is then discovered by the Antivirus scan.
This has been happening fairly constantly for the last 6 months at least, it never occurred before and my amount of spam emails has been pretty consistent - so It seems to be a issue with an upgrade (perhaps). So, how do I delete local attachments when I delete a message in Thunderbird? I also presume that perhaps the attachment has some way of sidestepping or otherwise denying deletion.
To Summarise, the viruses are NOT active, they are NOT infecting my computer, but they are sitting in my Thunderbird Profile waiting to be activated. the ONLY way these would get here is via downloads from spam , which I do get, and I do delete the email, but my evidence suggests the virus-infected attachments are NOT deleted as well. I have not checked if the attachments are also deleted from the server, that's a little beyond my abilities at the moment, but the email HAS been/appears deleted from the server.
Any help in removing these sleeping threats would be very useful, thank you.
When using Message Filters on an IMAP account I often get duplicate messages in my local folder where important messages are put. How can I stop this?

Since switching to IMAP and using message filters, I often get duplicate messages in my local folders. I think this is a bug.
That is my guess as to what is happening.
When the IMAP part starts syncing with the server to fill in the inbox, the message filter system starts working before it is done syncing. I appears that the filters runs too quickly because as the filter moves a msg to a local folder, the sync thread think it need to download it again from the server. If the sync with the remote server takes a long time, I could end up with 5 or more copies of the exact same email.
This has always happened for years now but I figured someone would have noticed it and fix it by now. Now I am wondering it it has something to do with my filters or my settings.
Has anyone run into this before?

I setup thunderbird on my brothers computer. It uses the same settings as mine which functions correctly however his keeps downloading old messages (from 2012) every time it starts up. I delete them but when I go into the deleted folder they don't show up (it shows it as moving messages but never seems to complete).

When I open a message, a display name (raw message content) is displayed as a window at the top of the Message Pane window. I would like to make that display name window smaller (adjust the size) while retaining the scrolling capability. Dragging the display name window boundary would work well. Or, the ability to toggle the display name on and off as F8 toggles the Message pane.
I have noted the address book display name capability but very few of my messages have or need address book entries.
