Mail filters for custom headers like List-Unsubscribe, Authentication-Results or Received-SPF copying messages from IMAP accounts to Local Folders do not work on the Yahoo! IMAP account. For example:

filter1.jpg: name="_Inbox2: List-Unsubscribe <https" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox/_Inbox2" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"list-unsubscribe\",contains,<https)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

filter2.jpg: name="Spam: Authentication-Results dkim=unknown | Received-SPF fail | X-Antivirus-Status Infected" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=unknown) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=perm_fail) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=none) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,fail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,softfail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,none) OR (\"x-antivirus-status\",is,Infected)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

But filter3.jpg works well: name="Inbox" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox" condition="OR (subject,doesn't contain,t[k\6iq69pd+}'cr)" (copies all remaining messages from IMAP folders to Inbox on Local Folders)

(the snippets above are fragments of the msgFilterRules.dat file)

Filters1 and 2 work well on other IMAP accouns, like for example wp.pl. So this is about Yahoo or something is corrupted. My question is, what wrong is here ? And by the way - how to create filter copying all messages from IMAP to Local Folders ? Is better way then filter3 looking for random string in the subject or somewhere else ? Thank you.

I want to install Mozila Email on my Windows 10 Laptop and want not to use the default version 150 but version 142. The support still downloads version 150 when I choose verso 142. What can I do to correct this?

I have a new gmail account and I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to show me messages that come in to that address. I changed some things trying to set up a second account but emails still don't arrive. I am using a desktop computer with the most recently updated Windows 11 and updated Thunderbird too. What am I missing?

I have everything I need from my old machine except my e-mail filters. If I copy the whole profile I will lose all of the sent messages and saved messages I have generated since I got Thunderbird up and running on my new machine.

Hi, I’m having a recurring UI issue in Thunderbird with the toolbar above the message preview pane.

After some time of using Thunderbird, the area between the message list and the message preview becomes visually corrupted. The toolbar where the Reply / Reply All / Forward buttons should appear either disappears completely or turns into a broken/glitched gray bar.

I attached a screenshot showing the problem.

What I already tried:

Restarting Thunderbird Starting in Troubleshoot Mode Disabling all add-ons Resetting UI/customization settings

These actions help only temporarily. After some time, the issue comes back again.

Additional info:

Windows 11 64-bit Latest Thunderbird version The problem seems random, but happens multiple times per day It affects usability because I lose quick access to reply buttons and message actions

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what may cause this? Humanity invented email clients 50 years ago and somehow we’re still fighting disappearing buttons like it’s experimental Soviet software. Beautiful continuity of civilization.

Thanks.

Tags summary display has disappeared.

I can search for tags, but the convenient "tags folder" is gone. Please help.

Tried in safe mode with add-ons and toolbars/controls disabled. Error console is empty when assigning or removing tags.

If you turn on "Show Timezones" in the New Event window, then close it, and open a New Event window again, the time zones will be shown, but the option will not be checked in the settings, checking it now will hide it instead

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird only occasionally for backing up Google emails after which I delete the emails from Google. I am thinking of using Thunderbird permanently but there are things I'm not sure about.

1). Does Thunderbird automatically integrate Google Take Out mbox files automatically into one email list? When I start Thunderbird, I see files that I have uploaded to Thunderbird (on two occasions in the past and these were mbox files from Google Take Out) but these files are empty. (screenshot attached). When I select the "all mail" folder all of the mails saved since 2005 appear to be there.

2). Does Thunderbird save attachments or only the emails themselves?

I would be grateful for some help so that I can optimise my working with Thunderbird.

Best wishes

DanZ

When I go to set a custom time for when an event's reminder will happen, it doesn't matter what date or time I put, when I click OK, it sets the date to be today, and the time to the next hour, if I use the date and time picker dropdown thing (clicking the arrow instead of typing it in), the date does set correctly, but the time is impossible to set even like that

Hi, I use my Thunderbird installation as a feed reader for RSS. Unfortunately, there are two feeds which aren't updated any more. I can't find an error. The feed is OK, I checked the XML file - the new entries are in the feed. The same feed works with a different feed reader. I already deleted the feed and added it again to Thunderbird. That didn't help. I don't know how to find the error. One of the not working RSS feeds is this one: https://mastodon.social/@islieb.rss

When I execute "right click -> Get Messages" on the feed, nothing happens. No error message... What can I do to find the error?

I'm running Fedora Linux 43, Workstation Edition; Thunderbird 140.10.2esr from Flathub. Everything's up to date.

Thanks, Simon

For two days I'm having intermittent "hanging" when I'm typing a document or letter in Thunderbird. It has just dont that for the 2nd time in less than 10 minutes. Don't know what's happening but it's very frustrating. Am not having any other computer problems. Am running Windows 11 which is automatically updated by Windows. I think Thunderbird is the most current version too. Help please anyone! It does say "(Not Responding) at the very top of the page.

I have tried multiple times to setup a new Outlook email to Thunderbird. I already have one setup and that's fine, but when trying to connect my new email account I keep getting the error

exchange auth error

I've tried everything to fix it.

The setup configuration all goes well, but then connection just won't happen. I've checked in Outlook and I have given Thunderbird permission but still it won't work.

I have the latest Thunderbird on my laptop. I have turned off the hub, but it still appears when I add an account. Sigh!

Please help!

In Firefox, to send an email, you click on the NEW EMAIL button in the tool bar and the email app appears. When you click on the TO button to add email addresses, the ADD RECIPIENT page appears and a list of people and their email addresses normally appear.

THERE IS NO LIST OF PEOPLE AND EMAIL ADDRESSES. They have been moved to the PEOPLE folder on the left side tool bar below the top MAIL icon. The email list in the PEOPLE folder is still in tact

My question is how do I correct this error which appears to have happened during an update.

One would think if you highlight/select the PEOPLE email list it could be moved back to the ADD RECIPIENT list/folder but that does not appear to be possible.

What is the solution????????
