Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi. My hard drive crashed. I have a new pc and the old drive is readable in a drive enclosure hooked up to new PC via usb. I have done the typical search for the appdata profile file, but I am not sure what I have here. I have attached a screenshot of the old drive and a global search on "Thunderbird". I am not sure where the profile file is residing. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

Recently the email display has been changed and not by me. At present I cannot receive emails as previously. Also I wish to revert to the previous display of my emails if possible. I can access email via the email.telstra,com site but I wish to stay with Thunderbird. I also do not get emails to my mobile as before

One of my email accounts (the main one) has stopped downloading to my asus Vivobook 15 laptop. My other two accounts are downloading okay and the account that is not downloading to my laptop is downloading to my Samsung mobile phone okay. Please can you help.

I have a SOGo server that holds my address book. The SOGo web interface allows setting of custom properties, something I have used for a long time without problems. I have accessed the address book with Thunderbird both on Windows and Linux (today Windows 11 and Debian 12).

Lately I have problems with synchronization and now I have tried to understand why. I believe that the problem is connected with the transition to vCard Storage in Thunderbird. (See https://developer.thunderbird.net/thunderbird-development/codebase-overview/address-book)

In the Thunderbird error console (on Debian 12 using Thunderbird 115.11.0(64-bit)) I get for a simple VCARD with one custom property (which I created in SOGo):

09:24:18,136 carddav.sync: Error parsing: BEGIN:VCARD UID:56377-6667FA00-1F-59090880.vcf VERSION:3.0 CLASS:PUBLIC PROFILE:VCARD N:With Custom 1;AAAAAAA FN:AAAAAAA CUSTOM1:My custom value END:VCARD CardDAVDirectory.jsm:595:15

09:24:18,136 NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Unable to set Custom1 as a property, use vCardProperties

   setProperty resource:///modules/AddrBookCard.jsm:394
   vCardToAbCard chrome://sogo-connector/content/messenger/startup-overlay.js:551
   fetchAllFromServer resource:///modules/CardDAVDirectory.jsm:590

CardDAVDirectory.jsm:596:19

It does not matter if the SOGo Connector plugin is activated or not.

After having trouble sending email with Thunderbird, I contacted Spectrum, a.k.a. Charter , support. It turns out, Spectrum will no longer connect with Thunderbird:

"Thank you so much for your patience! I was doing some research and Spectrum is not allowing links with thunderbird server as of March 2024. You can use spectrum email on apple mail or outlook going forward but thunderbird email linking has been eliminated."

Thought you would like to know.

By the way, I'm using Linux (KUbuntu 22.04).

Hi,

I'm trying to automate / batch set the "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder"-setting for a large number of folders so I'm trying to figure how Thunderbird stores the setting(s) of which folders to always check for new mail.

Checking the `global-messages-db.sqlite` it seems like all folders that have the "always check folder"-setting have a `indexingPriority` value of 30 in the `folderLocations` table, but simply setting it to 30 for other folders does not enable the "always check folder"-setting so I guess that is set elsewhere. Where?

Also what other settings are set for the folder when enabling "When getting messages for this account, always check this folder" ?

Thanks in advance /frax

Dear Support,

we want to intergrade Thunderbird to our Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online), but we have massive problems with the authentication of our users.

I have allready configured an the Enterprise Application for Thunderbird in Entra ID and the Clients, excactly as documented in you article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

We have conditional access policies in out Entra ID, which allow only comliant devices to acess out Exchange Online.

The Thunderbird clients are running on these compliant devices (Windows ans macOS), but it seems that the client is not passing this information through the Oauth authentication (see screenshots 01 to 04 - I uploaded the configuration and all the steps of authentication).

I searched the internet for more then 3 days, but the only thing that I have found about this problem is this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1697805

In our Entra ID, we see in the sign-in logs, what excactly is happening with the conditional access (screenshots 05 to 07)

We use the newest client versions of thunderbird.

Can you please help me on this? We realy want to continue to use Thunderbird!

Kind Regards Ioannis Kyriakidis

I have Thunderbird Bets and want emails when opened to be in a separate window as non Beta does. In Settings I've selected "Open messages in - A new message window, but some emails don't wrap text to fit the window but instead have a width & height slider.

Can the Thunderbird Beta software display open emails in a separate smaller window as a default - and more importantly with wrapped text? Geoff

I think that I need to completely uninstall TB Something went wrong on one of my computers, and it couldn't connect to the server. It works on my other computer.

I decided to uninstall TB that had the problem. I did that, but when I reinstalled it, it had all of the same settings and problems. I used RevoUnstaller. because it said When I reinstalled it, all of the stuff and the problem were back.

What is the best way to fix this?

Using T-bird Beta 127.0b5 (64-bit) Longtime T-bird user, regular and Beta. Folders not showing in Folder Tree in 1 of 2 accounts on same outlook server. No problems with GMAIL or ISP email Spectrum). I've tried all the fixes in similar previous question but none worked. I am, and must remain in, Troubleshooting Mode to be functional. Thoughts solicited and appreciated.

Hi,

My issue is that my Thunderbird sent folder is not showing any emails that I send from my iphone or ipad, whether I use the native Mail app or the Microsoft Outlook app. I can't find these sent emails in any folder in Thunderbird.

I'm using an Exchange email account from my university. Using Thunderbird 115.11.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

My iphone and ipad are running iOS 17.5.1.

Emails sent from my iphone or ipad do appear in the sent folder on my university's webmail interface which is outlook.office.com.

If this is relevant. in Thunderbird's "Account Settings" under "Copies & Folders" it's set to "When sending messages, automatically ... Place a copy in ... "Sent Folder on ... <myemailaddresshere>" -- if that helps.

I searched but haven't found any information online about this issue.

Thank you,

kate

The folder "popstate-1.dat" appeared under my email account below Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archives, Junk and Trash. I have attached an image showing the folder located below Trash and above Local Folders.

Can it be deleted? Is it serving a purpose?

I recently deleted old messages from the various Local Folders folders.

Thank you.

I get this full screen message wants to access your google account. This will allow thunderbird to read ... ... by clicking allow ...

I can't see allow and can't change the size of the screen

I have used Thunderbird for Windows for probably 15 years at least. I change my password to my AT&T email address and have not been able to use Thunderbird since (May 2). It ask for password but when I input my new password it cannot connect. I deleted stored passwords and now none of my email accounts work. I have been forced to switch to Outlook, but would like to be about to use Thunderbird. A friend that I help with computer issues had the same problem several months ago. She changed her Roadrunner password and has not been able to get email via Thunderbird since. She only has one email address, also forced to use different email program. Why did it quit working because we changed passwords?

Hi!

What is the way to tell thunderbird to index IMAP folders in global-messages-db.sqlite which are not stored locally?

And a more generally, how does this part work, message indexing and remote IMAP folders not stored locally? Here, after removing the database, thunderbird indexed only some very limited set of IMAP folders in the Gloda, but not all of the folders, despite all are checked for "Include in global search". Or maybe it didn't even index whole folders, - I can't say for sure.

Thanks,
