Thunderbird Community Forum

Last week I deleted about 600 emails from the inbox, leaving about 500. I shut down the computer for 5 days then rebooted. TB seemed to start up ok. I deleted the remaining 500 emails. Emptied the trash folder. Tried to pull new emails to the inbox. I usually receive 100 - 200 emails per day but could not receive any this time.

When I get an attachment as a reply in an email it is with tmp file name. It cannot be opened because Thumberfird does not have a file association program, Using libre office with here I cannot find a file association either. Hoping for some help. Thanks in advance. PS. Should the questions be asked in English?

I need help. How do I troubleshoot TBird asking for a password that disappears when I go into troubleshooting mode? In other words, I can enter anything in for the password, or dismiss/close the pop up box, and nothing is effected by it. I still get all me email for all accounts. The only thing at the top of the box is a user name (pmruzicka). At this point, I have deleted the accounts that used that user name, including all info for the outgoing servers (even tho this password request pops up at TBird start). I have Disabled ALL extensions one at a time and the pop up still happens. I have set TBird to default them,e - pop up still there. I have unchecked the hardware acceleration box - pop up still there. I have no clue what else I could do at this point. I do NOT have a Primary password set. Can someone please help me figure this out? Getting tired of having to click off that pw box every time I start TBird. Thanks. Also, this has been happening through the last few updates of TBird.

All bar one of my Extensions have stopped working on the last update (see attached image). I'm on Linux Mint latest, running TB 153.0esr. Also, I used to have two sent mail folders, one called "Sent" which showed all sent mail, and another called "Sent Mail" which was the useful one as it showed sent mail that hadn't been deleted. Now I have two called "Sent" which isn't helpful. Same with Spam.

Are there settings I can adjust to re-enable the extensions - the QuickText is the one I really need, and is it possible to rename the Sent and Spam folders as I can't see an option to do so.

Hello, Bonjour, Since few time when i want to send an Email it is impossible and that i get with any Email address everytime the following message !!!

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird, but the tagging behavior has become erratic since version 153.

The phenomenon is as follows:

• Tags attached to messages are disappearing on their own.
• The tags disappear when I select a message or receive a new email.
• It does not occur with the default tags (such as "Important"), but only with the ones I registered myself.
• It also occurs in troubleshooting mode.

Is there a solution?

Regards.

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.

Hello! I'm having a problem where a specific tag keeps un-applying itself. I have a number of filters that look for specific words in emails, and tag them accordingly -- all of my other filters are working just fine, but one specific one has decided to stop working. It has exactly the same settings as the other ones, and when I manually run the filter, it correctly applies the right tag.

But, minutes later, the tag will un-apply itself, and I cannot figure out why. For some reason, an older message is staying correctly tagged with that filter, but newer ones un-apply the tag. This same filter and tag used to work just fine. Other tags on emails from the same source work fine, too.

Version 153 brought account colors to the desktop app.

Is there any smoother way to transfer just these settings, no more, no less, to other machines, other than copying the whole profile? I'm using TB on 3 different pc's, of which one has a special profile.

Right now I made screenshots of all 7 accounts + color. I can do it by hand but that's rather cumbersome.

I'm experiencing an issue with Thunderbird when trying to open attached PDF files. As soon as I double-click a PDF attachment, Thunderbird immediately shuts down completely. When I reopen Thunderbird and try again, the same thing happens.

I have already restarted my computer, but the issue persists. The only way I was able to open the PDF files was by accessing the email directly through Outlook.

I'm running TB on Windows 11 on a Dell Desktop machine. It's a pretty basic installation with EE Cyber security, which is I think Norton. I've been using TB for a couple of years but recently it has almost stopped working. I notice from Task Manager that TB is massively leaking memory and consuming much CPU time. I don't think I have any add-ons and I only use TB for email. It's now so bad that I'm even unable to go into TB's Settings or Tools or anything else. I've tried creating an exclusion for TB profiles and TB.exe in the Norton. I've tried starting TB in troubleshoot mode but all to no avail. I have it in IMAP, Port 993, SSL/TLS for incoming mail and Port 465, SSL/TLS, Authentication Required for Outgoing mail. I'm currently often unable to even access mail previously downloaded to the local Mail folders, TB is just hanging with the bar in the lower right corner endlessly running along. Most puzzling of all, is that very occasionally is starts working again and then I dare not switch the machine off! It's become an indeterminate system. Please help, I'm nearly eighty and trying to organize my holiday, which is needs email to make bookings. Thanks in anticipation.

Hello

I use Thunderbird for many years, I have a profile weighing 3,6 GB now… I already moved this profile on my old computer, from default location to a data disk. Now I needed to move it to a new computer, so I moved it to my Dropbox (with local storage on both), to conveniently access it from the new machine, and to have some kind of backup (with a real backup, more occasional, of course). I don't plan to launch Thunderbird from both computers, so there should be no conflict.

I installed a fresh new download of Thunderbird (152), which I just upgraded to 153. The new computer runs Windows 11 Professional (build 26200.8875), has 32 GB of memory and a large amount of free disk space.

My profile.ini file currently looks like: ``` [Install734AE0B000379192] Default=C:\Dropbox\Applications\Thunderbird\0q9jw2nn.default Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/ncc2rvps.default

[Profile0] Name=default-release IsRelative=0 Path=Profiles/30jrlwud.default-release

[General] StartWithLastProfile=0 Version=2

[Profile2] Name=PhiLho IsRelative=0 Path=C:\Dropbox\Applications\Thunderbird\0q9jw2nn.default Default=1 ``` Profile 0 and 1 were created at installation time. I added the Profile2 and I set StartWithLastProfile to 0 to ensure the profile manager sees the profile.

When I start Thunderbird, after choosing the PhiLho profile, I end up with an empty window: no accounts, no messages, no folders, etc. I see no relevant error in the developer console, or the logs. What I am missing?

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 cannot set up my yahoo mail account in thunderbird. first, yahoo does not let me log in using firefox (all extensions off). I set chrome to my default browser. chrome at least allows me to log into my yahoo account directly. First part of set up is okay: server setings, imap etc. then thunderbird wants to connect to yahoo.com. Using chrome I can log in. It then tries to open some file and returns an error message, "no app found." I attach some screen shots.

I am using Ubuntu 24.04LTS with all current updates. xdg-com is installed. the version is 1.1.3. Thunderbird version is current: 153.0 (64-bit).

What is the problem?

I recently changed hosting and now I am getting login boxes nonstop to my old servers. I see no way to remove them and this is so annoying I may have to change from thunderbird. All my emails are there, it just keeps checking for old servers.

Thanks in advance!

I ran TB in troubleshooting mode and the problem was still there. I deleted the account and created it again but it did not help. I killed TB and restarted, no joy. I rebooted Windows (build 26200.8875), no help. I have a working hotmail account so I compared the Account Settings and Server Settings, they are identical. Both accounts can contact the Mail Server and I get the Certificate ok. I could add the hotmail email account to my Mail app on iPhone and iPad and that worked fine, so seems like a Windows Thunderbird issue. I tried changing the password of the account to the real password but then restarting TB I got an error message: "login.microsoftonline.com needs you to confirm access again to keep syncing with your account. Username: <foo>@hotmail.com". I do not know how to handle that.

In recent update several duplicate folders were installed in three different email accounts. Point to them there was a 'delete' button enabling elimination of duplicates. However, on two accounts, 'Drafts' duplicates didn't have the delete button enabling elimination. How to clean up?
