TB suddenly moves messages from inbox to trash automatically without any interaction. Search through the forrum shows that it has been asked for already, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1588804, similar postings can also be found with you search engine.

As described in other postings, the messages are moved from Inbox to trash. When moving them back manually from trash to inbox, they are moved to trash again immediately.

• it happens for the default account only,
• there're no filters at all in TB,
• junk detection is disabled,
• Settings->General Storage is all disabled,
• (account)->Settings->Server Settings has checked "move deleted messages to trash",
• (account)->Settings->Storage is all disabled,
• Inbox->Properties "Repair folder" does not help,
• Inbox->Properties "rules is set to "use account settings" (and greyd out "do not delete messages"),
• exactly same behaviour when starting TB in save mode,
• manually deleting all *.msf files (for inbox) does not help,
• manually deleting xulstore.json does not help,

Additional notes, which are not related to the problem, IMHO:

• IMAP on port 993,
• no other clients anywhere are connected to that account,
• TB configured for more than 10 accounts, more than 500 folders and sub-folders,
• host with > 16GB RAM, TB uses 3GB virt,
• problem observerd in older TB also, at least 13x.x

I'd be happy to debug/trace the problem if someone can give me detailled insructions how to start TB with debugging. Please feel free to ask for about:config settings as they are non-ambiguous and language independent ;-)

Thanks.

I have set a custom theme on my Thunderbird on Linux. As you can see by the attached image though, the menu bar is hard to read when you get to the right side. Dark background and dark text doesn't really go together. Is there a way to make the background of the menu bars a solid color or something less see-through so the text can be read? I want a light theme, but I need to be able to read the menu.

Hi!

I have configured a EWS email account that requires manual configuration (I need to pass the override Office365 settings with application ID, tenand ID,...). When I select manual config I can configure the EWS server settings OK and the receiving part works OK. The problem is the outgoing server is not created OK (it is imap with password setup). I need to use the same EWS to send the email, imap is not allowed in the account. And I cannot configure the account to use EWS as the outgoing server. The outgoing server cannot be EWS and I need to setup one. So I'm in a loop.

For what I have read, thunderbird can send the email using EWS (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-exchange), but my feeling is that using manual setup (which I need to do to configure this account) breaks something internally and the outgoing is separated from the EWS receiving part. And I cannot configure back to use the internal EWS configuration in the receiving server part.

Can I do something to send emails using the same EWS configuration? What does the automatic setup to use the EWS configuration? Is there any bug for this situation?

Thanks in advance!

This happens regardless of whether message is moved to trash or junk folder. My concern are this also marks spam, phishing and/or malicious emails read which allows read receipt to be sent when enabled. I don't want to be forced to use remove immediately or disable read receipt option to ensure these messages are deleted unread.

I have just installed Thunderbird on a replacement computer (running Linux Mint). The version I have is 140.7.1esr. I use a POP Gmail account. For a change it installed and connected seamlessly, but I cannot persuade it to download anything other than the messages in my Inbox. I have right clicked as recommended on my Gmail address, but see no 'Subscribe' to select. What am I doing wrong?

I've successfully connected to a hosted Exchange server through EWS and NTLM authentication (kudos BTW). But there is a problem - often during operations against EWS I'm presented with "Login to account XXX failed" "Login to server YYY with account XXX failed". I can ignore it (cancel) and it will work for seconds or minutes but eventually reappear. Sometimes it's very frequent, sometimes is here and there. TL;DR; connection works, I can read directories and e-mails.

From looking at development tools I see these scenarios: 1. POST requests return 200 always (no messsage of course) 2. Eventually a POST would return 401. Then Thunderbird issues a GET, it returns 401 as well but response includes header WWW-Authenticate: NTLM XXXXXX. Then another GET is issued containing header "Authorization" with the value from previous response. This time it gets 200 and continues without POST requests without a dialog. 3. Sometimes there are more POST requests with 401 (I assume in parallel) before a GET is issued and then I see a dialog. Sometimes it recovers (regardless of whether I cancel or retry), sometimes gets stuck with 401 with dialog reappearing each time it tries something. This case it's similar in sense that thunderbird issues GET with 401 and WWW-Authenticate header, issues another GET with Authenticate header but still gets 401.

If I had to guess I'd say the problem happens when POST requests are issued in parallel, not sequentially. OTOH it might be a problem at the server, but it isn't very likely.

Yesterday I found that I can't send mail using Yahoo.ca. I was able to get my wife's computer working by sending an email. A message came on the browser and I logged in to Yahoo. She can now send email. When I tried the same thing on my computer, I get a message "No apps available". I have spent hours trying and can't get around the message. The simplest test is as follows:

• create a new profile, and open the new profile
• enter my name and email address, and continue
• I get a message "Configuration found in Mozilla ISPDB." It uses SSL/TLS and Oauth2
• I hit next. Yahoo opens a page in my browser to log in. I enter the password and the security code sent by text
• The browser sends a message to allow an app. When I allow it the message "No apps available" appears as shown.

The release notes on Thunderbird are Version 153.0 | Released July 21, 2026 For now, I can use a second account on gmx.com to send mail, but prefer to use Yahoo when it works. Any suggestions?

Dear Foristi, after updating to V. 135 Oesr (64Bit), neither AOL mail nor Yahoo mail cooperate any longer. Passwords checked, correct. Other PC, not updated, still connects to AOL and Yahoo addresses without flaw. OS: Linux Mint, both PC have 8 GB RAM. Where did I screw up?

Thanxalot in advance -rick

I have thunderbird installed on my PC, and my main email account is a gmail account. I download from gmail using POP protocol (SSL/TLS connection security, OAuth2 authentication). I have been using these settings for a long time (15 years?).

This afternoon, thunderbird stopped downloading my messages. No error messages : just "no new messages to download".

I can see (by logging directly into my gmail account using my browser) that there are new messages on the server. They're not spam or junk, and they're not getting downloaded into my (local) spam folder. They're not getting downloaded at all.

I still have room on the google server (it's about 87% full), and room on the hard drive on my computer (about 3 GB).

Linux Mint 22.3, Cinnamon Thunderbird 153.0 esr

clicking on 'get messages' produces no response. zero. Nothing happens. two email accounts are affected.

Consistently Reproducible.

I use vertical view. Hate threading so that's turned off. I use a medium to large message pane. Recently been having issues with column visibility. Not sure if this is new or whether it's that I've come to a Linux client from a Windows one and there's a setting I missed when I set up the client.

Essentially dragging the column divider doesn't work properly (for me). The columns always seem to auto adjust width. Similarly if I resize the message pane the columns don't remain fixed they auto adjust.

I don't find this helpful. I prefer to set up the columns to display the amount I want/need in subject and From and I truncate the date to simply not display time.

How do I set column widths to remain where I put them? Or is this function now lost.

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

I have noticed that when a .ics file is not able to be manually imported into Thunderbird via the Events and Tasks there is a way to get it to import. Simply edit the filename of the .ics file to something very short (like less than 8 characters). I'm not sure why longer and more complex .ics filenames fail but shortening the filename almost always works.

I'm trying to dump Windows and move to Linux and I need to migrate my existing mail. The Export tool says it exports accounts, messages, address books, and settings. I've done this and have my Linux Mint Thunderbird installation up and running. The problem is the only "messages" it exports is the Inbox. Not "Sent" or any of the other 25 folders I've created to organize my mail. Is there ANY tool available that will export everything and then import it into a new installation?

I for sure don't want to have to dual boot just to do email. If I can't accomplish a complete cut-over, I'll abandon Linux and stick with Windows (ugh!).

I'm actually using Mint right now and I would need to go back to Windows to get that version number. Suffice it to say, as of yesterday, it was up to date with the latest Windows version.
