Thunderbird Community Forum

I am looking for an add on to assist in filing emails but I can't find anything at all. I used to have one which was quite good but can't now recall the name. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)

Previously the yellow banner with the text "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message" had an Options button which allowed me to click "show remote content" or allow subdomains to permanently show remote content. That options button is now missing, and there's only a X button to close the warning banner.

My Privacy settings has "Allow remote content in message" unchecked and there are no Exceptions. On mobile Thunderbird I can still "show remote images" successfully.

From time to time - and for reasons that I cannot discern - I get screens popping up from Google saying that it needs information or permission to access T-bird accounts. I have both gmail and other domain mail server accounts in T-bird.

Today, it's happening again. I can't seem to resolve the issue even though I've been through the process of providing requested information and permissions. I can't get T-bird to connect to servers to look for downloadable messages. This is a problem that is keeping me from using 2-step verification with several websites that I need to contact. I say that T-bird isn't connecting because the messages that normally appear when I request downloads do not appear at the bottom of my screen. The problem started with the first screen below and has now migrated to the second screen. I tried sending test email among my accounts, both gmail and others, but I cannot. As far as I can tell, T-bird is sending the messages to servers but not retrieving them, but I cannot be sure they were sent. As I was typing this sentence the second screen below popped up without my doing anything with email.

I don't recall what I've done in the past to resolve the issue. IIRC it has required different acts at different times. Today, nothing seems to work. If this continues, I'm going to have to find another email client after having used T-Bird for more than a decade.

Can someone please tell me how to get off this merry-go-round?

Trying to send (redirect) a Thunderbird message using Simple Mail Redirection results in an error: "Transaction failed Unauthorized sender address. 1M8Pmu-1u0qJD3qDo-000B18. Please check the message and try again." Is there a fix for this or is there a better add-on for redirecting multiple messages at a time?

Thanks, Doug

I understand that Thunderbird has some new developments, possibly called Supernova. I'm looking for replacements for Microsoft Word and Excel, or Google Docs and Sheets, but compatible with both. Thanks!

I've just resumed using Thunderbird, with a new installation on a new computer, after a long period of having only my ISP's web interface. I'm having a problem with adaptive junk filtering: it thinks everything is junk until I tell it otherwise.

By default, it leaves putative junk messages in the Inbox, but displays a yellow ribbon above a junk message's preview with "Learn more" and "Not junk" buttons. In this configuration, having it assume everything new is junk is just a nuisance.

But eventually I will finish training it, and I'll want it to move junk to the Junk folder automatically. Then this behavior will be a disaster.

Using made-up numbers to illustrate, suppose I get 1000 messages per day. Of these, 998 are from addresses it recognizes, so it knows that 993 of them are junk and 5 are legitimate, because I've received email from those addresses before, and I've told it what to do with them. That leaves 2 messages which may or may not be junk.

It should leave those messages in the Inbox, preferably with some kind of warning, and let me decide whether they are junk or not. Instead it's going to move them to Junk, and I'll never know I got them unless I review all 995 new messages in the Junk folder... which would defeat the whole point of having a junk filter.

Is there a way to make the junk filter default to "not junk" when it doesn't know? I've looked at the configuration dialog, and I don't see one.

To my new computer Thunderbird has just fetched the INBOX-mails from the IMAP-server, not my many subfolders, not the SENT-folder, not the SPAM-folder. This has previously worked when I changed to a new computer. How do I get Thunderbird to transfer these mails.

As of yesterday, 3/18/25, I can no longer dismiss or pause and calendar notifications. The drop down works but the dismiss or pause doesn't work. All I can do is close the Window. This seemed to start after a Microsoft update/restart. Gee, who'd a thunk it? Jeff

When Tbird first began it was easy to see which folders were Imap and which were local. That distinction disappeared a while back and I still had all my imap folders but no indication of which were which. When I want to access them the popup menu did show "gmail" (since that is my email domain) and the imap folders there. But when I go to create a new folder it does not show up in the imap list even though I want it to be an imap folder.

How do I create/manage an imap folder in the current Tbird?

My Thunderbird client has stopped receiving more messages. The size of the inbox is 4.5. Is there a limit on the inbox size? If so can it be increased?

Thanks
