Thunderbird Support Forum

I have read that in earlier versions (TB 102) arrows would appear on the left of the message header indicating that a message had been replied to or forwarded. I'm using TB 115 and there are no such arrows. I tried safe mode, but that made no difference. It would be helpful to see which messages have been replied to or forwarded, and which not.

When I click on a link from thunderbird mail to a specific website, it takes me to a log in page in the specified website where the email is automatically filled in. In firefox browser, I have cleared history for all time, including "form and search history", cookies, cache, browsing and download history, active log ins, site settings, and offline website data. I have deleted my log in for the specific website (the id and password for the site in settings, password section. In Thunderbird, I also deleted, in the Privacy and Security section, all "saved passwords" When I open up the page of the specific website in question, through Thunderbird, I continue to see on the log in page, that an old email I no longer use is entered automatically. When I type in firefox browser the same specified website, the old email address does not show up. That makes me think that the log in information is stored somewhere in Thunderbird, not firefox. What is the solution to remove this information whereever it has been stored?

As of Sunday, Thunderbird can no longer reach my ATT server to download email. It has behaved for ten to fifteen years. Last time someone at ATT fixed it. I have been on the phone or on screen with ATT most of my waking hours since Sunday. (In the process I lost my internet, my landline, my cell connection, etc.) Everything is restored except the connection between Thunderbird and ATT. Everyone thinks changing my password will do it. Done it four times. It gets me into the ATT mail. I have replaced the password in Thunderbird settings with it to no avail. Is there anything you can think of? Not only is Thunderbird more attractive than ATT, I have thirty years of mail boxes there, a continuation from Eudora. I will appreciate your wisdom.

My calendar is Baïkal 0.8.0 running an a debian 10 server. My thunderbird is 115.12.0 (64-Bit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS My other devices are two thunderbirds 115.12.0 (64-Bit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and aCalandar 2.8! running an Android 14

It does not matter on which client I add or change calendar entries then synchronize them (I can see on my Baikal dahboard, that the synchronization has succeeded!) the other thunderbird clients don't show the changes, even after explicite synchronization, only after unsubscribing and then new subscribing.

Please advice for help!

Thanks in advance

Greetings,

In Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) on Linux Debian 12.6, when I examine "Help -> About", cursor movement in the focused information window moves the list of messages displayed underneath in the unfocused messages window. Hopefully the image suggests the issue. Is this an OS problem or something that can be corrected in Thunderbird?

Also, I maintain several accounts, each with several folders. It would be helpful if these all stayed collapsed until selected, with a digit alongside indicating the number of unread messages in each, but recently they each seem to fully expand at inopportune times, making email management rather difficult.

Is this the result of a selectable setting somewhere, please?

When I start a email message search, I am bombarded with bad suggestions for email addresses. These include addresses from everyone I've received email from even though I have deleted these entries in collected email addresses and my personal address book.

The addresses could be from old purchases or ebay responses or anyone I've ever received an email from. I have deleted most of the emails entirely, yet I still get all these bad addresses when I search.

Is there a way to clear the history in search or remove the email addresses where I have deleted the email?

I've attached a Home Depot search as an example.

Microsoft is changing the authentication method for outlook mail to OAuth2. I follow the guide provided to update Thunderbird, but my version of the program does not have OAuth2 as an option. My outgoing server is smtp-mail.outlook.com, but OAuth2 is not an option in the dropdown for authentication method.

A couple of days ago I had to change my default browser from Firefox to Chrome to fix a problem on a particular company's web site. After I made Firefox the default browser again I found that every hyperlink in an email or a document that I clicked on opened Firefox at the same web page: "https://read.amazon.com/landing".

I have no idea what I might have done to create this situation, let alone how to undo it.

I am using Linux Mint with Firefox, Thunderbird and Libre Office.

I would like messages I identify as junk, or messages automatically identified as junk, go to the spam or junk folder. All junk messages remain the main inbox.

On the other hand, in my "spam" folder are many emails that have gotten sent there automatically, but none of them are identify as spam (by the fire symbol being lit up).

In settings, I have "junk settings, box check on new junk messages to:, other, spam.

I also tried box check on new junk messages to:, Junk folder on:

When checking my email the 'Thunderbird' status bar says "downloading message' (as normal), but sometimes the message does not appear in my Inbox or any folder.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.12.0 on Linux Ubuntu. The email is downloaded via the POP protocol.

I have checked on the server and nothing is left there.

Using the Thunderbird search function on 'date' only, the e-mails actually in the inbox or folders show up, not the one purported to have been downloaded.

All of my folders are set to 'Unthreaded'.

Any ideas please?

Hi, Any time I'am connecting to email addresses ending by @akeonet.com (SFR compagny) on THUNDERBIRD, I'm receiving a message asking me my password imap.sfr.fr. Same to send a message exit server (STMP) smtp.sfr.fr.

Problem is the existing password is not working anymore with THUNDERBIRD but is still working with the webmail of SFR ????

I'am don't have such problem with addresses ending by @gmail !!!!!

Can you help to reconnect THUNDERBIRD to server SFR/ Neuf ?

Thank you to help me to solve the problem.

as stated in the title, my HDD failed the other day and on recovery, my Thunderbird seems to have failed too.

I know (sort of) that it is all driven by the Profile.ini file.

But everytime I relaunch TB (even after what I think is an uninstall and a reinstall) I am getting : "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

I would be happy enough to have a blank TB load up and I would reconfigure my various email accounts. but I cannot seem to do even that.

I know there is a trick to getting to a Thunderbird configurator....but I have forgotten what it is.

Where does TB "look" when it starts up? how would I control that?

Hello! I'm trying to subscribe to the calendar at this link: webcal://github.com/othyn/go-calendar/releases/latest/download/gocal__community_day.ics

But when I add the calendar to Thunderbird using New Calendar... > On The Network, it resolves that URL to this very long different URL: https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/580172601/b8d41b00-ad34-4a4f-937b-55ab6a554213?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=releaseassetproduction%2F20240625%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240625T114538Z&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Signature=10a1c88bd26110f81b16dd6f839ce758de482cc6c450135e518550bb3eed5840&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&actor_id=0&key_id=0&repo_id=580172601&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3Dgocal__pokemon_spotlight_hour.ics&response-content-type=application%2Foctet-stream

The resulting calendar then works for one day but then disables itself and cannot be re-enabled (if I try to enable the calendar, it immediately disables itself again). I think this is happening because the calendar at the webcal link updates to a new file every day, so the specific link that Thunderbird resolves to becomes invalid on a daily basis. Other calendar applications that I use (like the iOS calendar app and the web interface for mailbox.org) do not resolve the link (they just leave it as webcal://github.com/othyn/go-calendar/releases/latest/download/gocal__community_day.ics) and they work fine, which is why I think the link resolution is causing the issue.

Is there a way to get this type of webcal link to work with Thunderbird?

I also filed a bug report here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1906077

keep getting "Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com failed." I've tried everything thru Mozilla to change passwords and tried every password possible. It's been 2 weeks no access to my emails thru Thunderbird. I'm at a loss. what can I do to get into my Thunderbird account without dumpig it all to start over?

I've had Thunderbird mail for some years but I haven't been using this computer for about 18 months. (Mac High Sierra). MacBook Pro 17-inch mid 2010 2.66 Ghz Intel core i7. 8 gb memory

I came to open Thunderbird mail today. It was all set up as before. The Yahoo accounts were fine, and Cloud. But when I opened Google it gave me: "Authorization Error. Error 400: invalid_request You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure. You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules."

I went to Google and was able op open google mail fine as a standalone M-Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox)

How can I incorporate gmail into Thunderbird.?

This has happened to me on several occasions but today I was fed up with it and came here.

I completed an important message in Thunderbird (latest Windows desktop version) and saved the draft so I could read it over with the Darling Bride before sending it. When I opened the draft to go over it with her, the draft literally stopped in the middle of a word - and nothing after that had been saved!

Several carefully-worded paragraphs had simply vanished, even though I saved the draft when the message was complete. WHY is Thunderbird not saving entire messages when I finish them and hit SAVE??? One can imagine my anger and frustration of trying to recall, word for word, what I had written so I can rewrite it (and it's never as good as the original). I like the idea of Thunderbird and not using the big data-mining email apps out there... but this is ridiculous!

Hi,

I've downloaded T-bird on two computers- a windows platform and a mac. It works find on the windows platform, but on the mac, while it appears to have populated from my email account (IMAP) with no issues, the search feature always returns nothing. On the windows computer, it works fine.

If relevant, it's open on both computers at the same time, but that doesn't seem to cause any issues, as they're pulling from a web-based email account.

Any ideas about how to make the search feature work on the mac? I search for words or names that I know are there, but the results are always empty. It's important, and I need to get it up and running quickly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I added this https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/added.atom and in Thunderbird I do not see the summary tag data :(

Is it expected?
