Infrequently the spelling check window pops on when going to write or reply to a message. Sometimes there will be a person's name to spell check, or nothing at all or some random correctly spelled word. Then to make it particularly frustrating, the window refuses to close. Hitting the Done or X or ignore all does nothing. I have to close Thunderbird with task manager cause the Spell Check god refuses to be ignored. All this is with spelling check turned OFF! Sometimes after hitting the Done or X key for a hundred or so times it goes to a Sorry screen from Thunderbird with a trouble report supposedly sent to someone that nothing gets done about. Haven't always had this problem and it's not a constant. Sometimes it works as it's supposed to with no spelling being checked. Then there are the other times that make me want to use some other mail program. I've liked it for many years now and don't want to switch so please send me a solution!

Hello, I am not able to send mails via Thunderbird (updated) for at least the last week. I have different accounts (web.de, one from my university and gmail), gmail is the only one that works also for sending Mails. Receiving Mails is no problem. When I try to send Mails, I received an error message saying "time out".
I tried the points you mentioned in the FAQ Article (Settings for smtp, installing the account again, disable Avira, checking the online account of web.de, using thunderbird is allowed)
Thanks!

Win10 fully patched and fully patched thunderbird. For 1 contact when I send her email a CR looks like I hit CR twice. For everyone else it's fine.
When she gets it the mail is formatted as I would expect. I even had her just bounce back an email without touching it. the formatting is fine.
So, when composing mail for her when I hit CR it looks like 2 CRs are entered, when in fact only 1 is.
No biggie, just annoying. Any ideas?
When selecting "Use Mac OS Address Book" where does Thunderbird get that data from, because it doesn't match. (BTW the Apple App is called "Contacts")

Using MacBook Pro running OS 10.12.6. Using Thunderbird v 52.4.0.
First noticed problem when addressing an email to a friend and the proper address didn't come up. Wasn't there. Weird.
Opened up Thunderbird's "Address Book" and noticed the email address I was looking for wasn't included in that person's contact info. Then saw that Thunderbird's Address Book looked completely different from my Mac OS Contacts.
Checked Thunderbird settings and made sure "Use Mac OS Address Book" was checked. It was.
Tried removing and re-installing everything. First just the email account. Then the whole application. Neither solution worked.
In fact, right now, before I have even added back my email account to Thunderbird (I have zero accounts; just a freshly installed version of Thunderbird), if I hit "Address Book' under the tab, "Local Folders", the address book that Thunderbird opened up is the bad one.
How do I fix this issue? How do I get rid of this bad address book?
Which file does Thunderbird use for its Address Book? How can I force it to use the correct one?
Many thanks, Dann

I receive a large e-mail with 20 individual JPEG image attachmens, each one 1 MByte in size. Hence, total e-mail size is in excess of 20 MBytes. Internet connection is slow.
When clicking the e-mail, Thunderbird loads the headers, displays the message, slowly loads the images and displays them.
Fine.
Now expand the attachments view, select all attachments (click first, press SHIFT, click last), then select "Save As...". Thunderbird will ask you with a file dialog 20 times (once for each attachment). Press OK each time quickly.
What now happens: Thunderbird downloads THE COMPLETE 20 MByte message from the server to save the first attachment. Then it downloads AGAIN the COMPLETE 20 MByte message from the server to save the second 1 Mbyte attachmend. And so on. It will download the WHOLE 20 MByte message 20 times to save 20 attachments generating 400 MByte of traffic where ZERO would be required. Zero because it has just downloaded the message previously for display and is actively displaying this message.
Version: 52.2.1 (64-bit), Linux, no AV software.
Preferences -> Advanced shows "Use up to 350 MBytes of space for cache" under "Disk space" and "currently using 2.5 MB of disk space"
There's plenty of HD and RAM space available.
Before I upgraded thunderbird, I did not have that problem. Previous version was some Debian Iceweasel, don't know exactly which.

I have an installation that has 64 users all running Thunderbird using POP3 in which the universal settings have been to delete email from the server after download. My task is to revamp the email system and use IMAP so what I'm wondering is this:
Having 64 people manually create new Imap accounts, changing names, etc. is a non-starter ... Having me sit at 64 desks and manually do it for them is unappetizing at the least ...
Is it possible to change the existing accounts to IMAP with some form of Command Prompt or PowerShell scripting?
I'm guessing the steps would involve closing Thunderbird, moving the various boxes to new names within the profile folder, changing the protocol and port in a config file or two?
Or -- even better -- is there a commercial program that I can buy that will just do it?

I'm running 52.4.0. When I go to Account Setting from the Tools tab, my settings have disappeared. I'm only given an Account Actions dropdown that only offers adding or deleting accounts. I have fairly recent backups that would permit me to restore selected files, if that would help. I have all of my folders and, otherwise, Thunderbird is okay, downloading new emails, sending emails, etc.

When I insert a portrait-orientation (vertical) image into a TBird email message, TBird flips it 90° counterclockwise. It does not do this for landscape-orientation (horizontal) images. This is the case whether I do an insert directly from Photos, or first drag/drop the image from Photos into, say, a desktop folder and then drag it into the email. There is no formatting option to change an image's orientation in TBird. Attached is an example.
Of course 99.9% of these images were taken on my iPhone; when imported to my Mac Photos program they automatically appear in the original, correct orientation as photographed.
Mac 21.5" desktop, OS 10.12.6 TBird version 52.4.0 (64-bit) iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3
How do I prevent this?

I have the following constellation: Client A uses Windows10 and Outlook Client B uses Ubuntu and Thunderbird Client C uses Windows10 and Outlook All mail clients are set up to use POP3 to access the same Gmail account.
If client A downloads emails using Outlook, Client C downloads the same emails again. The same email exists on Client A and Client C. This is what is needed.
If Client B downloaded the emails from Gmail before the other clients accessed the mail account, Client A and/or Client C don't get them anymore. So the emails only exist on Client B.
How can I set up Thunderbird so that it downloads the emails but leaves them in a state that the other clients get them, too? I thought if I configure Thunderbird to leave the emails on the server that this is what will do the trick. It does leave them on the server but seems to mark them as downloaded. Can this be avoided/switched off?
If I log on to Gmail via the web front end I still see the messages in the inbox and they are marked unread.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Peter

I am using Thunderbird to write emails in two languages. I have setup spell checking for both languages and am able to select a default language for spell checking via Preferences->Composition->Spelling->Language and I am able to switch languages on the fly when composing emails through the Spelling-Option in the Composition Toolbar.
I would really wish to be able to set a default language per account. An example: For my work-account I mainly compose my emails in English and for my personal-account I mainly compose my emails in German. This would save me so many clicks in the composition toolbar where I am constantly switching languages.
What do you guys think? Perhaps this can be achieved through a plugin? I am a big fan of Thunderbird and have been using it ever since burying Eudora.

This problem started a couple of weeks before Hotmail failed for thousands of people. I had not changed any settings in either Thunderbird or Hotmail and a subsequent re-install of a newer version of Linux Mint did not alleviate the problem. Outlook Support provided me with server settings which are both correct and unchanged. They said it was a problem with Thunderbird. HELP!
The error message reads:
Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com is unknown. The server may be incorrectly configured. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Hello,
I have an email account with an inbox of 16GB and I currently use imap with it. I want to change it to pop3.
The only instructions i found seem to suggest that I should create a new pop3 account on my computer and re-download all email from the server, then delete the imap account. This would take many hours on my slow 10Mbit connection.
Is there a way to transform the imap email that is already downloaded to my computer to pop email so I don't need to re-download 16GB of emails?
Thank you

Hello,
Long time ago I saved some Sent emails to Thunderbird's Local folders. The menu structure looked like this:
Local Folders > Personal Folders > Sent Items
However that "Sent Items" folder contained emails from multiple accounts, so yesterday I decided to organize those emails a bit better, so I created new folders like this:
Local Folders > Sent > EmailAccount1 Local Folders > Sent > EmailAccount2 etc...
and moved the emails that were previously "Local Folders > Personal Folders > Sent Items" at the appropriate new folder. It looked fine.
However today I noticed that the "Local Folders > Sent" directory item doesn't show up in Thunderbird. All I can see is the (now empty) "Local Folders > Personal Folders > Sent Items". If however I check my hard drive at the location where "Local Folders" exist, I can see directories (.sbd, .mozmsgs) and files (.msf and a file with no extension) for both "Personal Folders" and "Sent", and if I open the "sent.sbd" directory, then I can see the directories I created containing my email.
How can I make them show up in Thunderbird again?
Thank you
