I'm using Win11, TBird Version 145.0 (64-bit). I'd like to copy an address entry from one address book to another. I can MOVE the entry by dragging it from one book to the other, but I'm too stoopid to figure out how to duplicate the entry in the 2nd book. Help!

When I attempt to print an email , a bunch of metadata gibberish appears and I cannot print the email without it . How do I clean up the email so that only the email itself prints ?

I am trying to add a Gmail account to Thunderbird. After clicking Continue from the configuration window, the system shows a 'Waiting for authorisation in login popup' window with a rotating circle, which eventually finishes and the window says 'Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. . . .'. As I understand it, the login popup window should be from Google asking me to confirm that it is OK for Thunderbird to connect to the Gmail server. It looks like that Google popup is being blocked. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Google permission popup to appear?

I am 79 years old, have supported Tbird for many years but have spent an inordinate amount of time researching and trying to work out how to change the colour of hyperlinks in outgoing emails. I am on Tbird 140.8 eclipse. Precise instructions would be much appreciated Thank you in advance

I am using Thunderbird 148.0.1 on Windows11. I want to move the signature block to above quoted text, but the setting does not seem to be there. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla help site: "When you are replying to messages, by default your signature will appear beneath the quoted text at the end of the message. To change this behavior, select Tools > Account Settings > <account name> > Composition & Addressing. Change the reply style to "Start my reply above the quote". Next, change the setting for "and place my signature" to "below my reply (above the quote)". This setting can be configured for each account and for each identity."

But they do not match what I am seeing on the screen. There is no selection for signature position, I assume a version change caused this. Any advice?

For some time now, Thunderbird has been correcting words by capitalising them – incorrectly. For example, the words ‘Mir’, ‘Dem’ and ‘Du’ are always automatically capitalised, which is, firstly, nonsense and, secondly, annoying. I have already disabled ‘Spell check’ and ‘Spell check whilst typing’ – to no avail. ---deutsch--- Thunderbird korrigiert seit einiger Zeit Worte indem sie sie - falsch - groß schreibt. Zum Beispiel werden die Worte Mir Dem Du immer automatisch groß korrigiert, was erstens Unfug und zweitens lästig ist. Ich habe schon "Rechtschreibkorrektur" und "Rechtschreibprüfung während der Eingabe" abgeschaltet - ohne Erfolg.

Recently my email subfolders stopped being visible on my Thunderbird desktop. They are still visible and accessible on my Thuderbird Android app on my phone. Any suggested remedies I see call for steps that I don't seem to have in my settings. My desktop SW version shows as 148.0.1 (up to date)

Why am I not able to add a 3rd IMAP email account?

Everything comes up like before for IMAP accounts, but it does not recognize the email or password, for some reason, and I have checked them over and over.

I also tried adding manually, but although it adds the email account name, the connections don't work, and there is not much information to even adjust that.

Will thunderbird run on an iMac With a M4 chip? I’ve tried to move the app from an older iMac to my new one and all I get when I open it is a message that it’s corrupted,

Good day support team, I had this sending message error show on my Thunderbird desktop when I try to send Annual Report to my members. I had tested to send through Bcc to 50 recipients and not sure how many is going through or not even one is going through. This is due to the over limit of the recipients I send through Bcc or recipient "bcl5157@gmail.com" account as show on the attached screenshot picture had problem? For this scenario, is it better to create a Mailing list instead?

Thank you in advance.

Regards Jim

I have two email accounts, one is hotmail.com, the other is on outlook.com

The SMTP for the outlook account works fine, but Thunderbird puts that same smtp details into the Hotmail account smtp. That also puts into the Hotmail username, the outlooks email address.

If I try to send an email using the Hotmail account, I get a message saying 'Hotmail can not send using xx@outlook.com

If I use the settings to make the username xxx@hotmail.com, it puts that into the smtp of the outlook.com address then that will not send giving the same fault. This has only started this last couple of days, nothing changed in the settings.

This only occurs on my Desktop. On my laptop with same settings it works fine.

Thunderbird is showing up to date?

I'm trying to list future events in the T-bird Calendar without including my numerous daily reminders (mostly when I'm supposed to take my meds). Is there a way to suppress their inclusion? Or is there a way to enter daily events as a separate class that won't show up in the standard future events list? Thank you.

I'm Using Thunderbird version 148.0.1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro I currently have 2 email accounts in Thunderbird...a Gmail account and a private account linked to my own webpage account. Both these accounts are working very well and I encountered no problems when I originally set them up some time ago....... However.. I am trying to add an additional email account. a Live .co.uk account I enter my Full Name and email address "xxxx@live.co.uk" as requested... I enter my password for this account and in my "Your Login" details ( the characters "xxxx" before the @ in my email address) I then select "Continue"........... Response : "looking up configuration...." Then.... Authentication failed. Please check the username and password...Exchange auth error I know I have entered the correct username and password for this account... and the account works fine on my mobile phone email app. using the same username and password..... No matter how I try, I am unable to set up this existing Live mail account so that I can access it in Thunderbird...... along with my other email accounts in Thunderbird, which are working OK.... Any suggestions as to how to fix this annoying problem, would be really appreciated......... Thank you

Since the latest update to my Thunderbird installation (Windows 11), my previously created Mailing Lists have stopped working after always working well. Thunderbird Release: 140.7.0esr (64-bit)

I now get the message below when I try to send an email using a mailing list address:

• • • Committee <*** Committee members> is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email. (Name partially starred out for security).
