When I upgraded from MacOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma, Thunderbird stopped working. Getting it to work the first time required me to use Apple's 2 Step Verification process to create an app-specific password. After the MacOS upgrade, that process was no longer available. Apple switched to 2 Factor Authentication, which is apparently different and incompatible with 2sv. The other websites and applications on my iMac have already switched to 2fa, and I'm not sure I can have both methods active on the same computer (but I've asked, Apple, anyway).

Is there a recent change in Thunderbird that would allow me to use 2fa instead of 2sv to access Thunderbird?

I have many years worth of emails in Thunderbird that I can no longer access. I can see the directory structure, and some of the email lists, but not the content.

Thanks for the help!

Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

I get this message from Thunderbird on my desktop computer on app start up: ]Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

This started suddenly about a week ago.

I have Thunderbird on laptop that works fine.

How can fix this?

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I've been using Thunderbird for YEARS, with 4 different accounts and 10 identities. As you can imagine, I have a ton of rules to help organize my emails.

It just self-upgraded to 115.3.3 yesterday, and suddenly, I have NO RULES.

I can get used to the new look & feel. But to lose all of my rules? Really? Come on man!

Hello.

I've read some articles about the way Thunderbird works with GMail IMAP folders. If I understand well, TB creates a copy of every GMail messages for each assigned label. This means that if a message has 3 labels, TB will copy it 3 times. According to Google storage status, I have about 12 GB for my mails. If multiple copy of messages are done depending on assigned labels (all messages, sent messages, about 20 custom labels, and so on), does it mean that I'd need 50 or 60 GB or more to synchronize my GMail account ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards.

As an example, I might order a flashlight from a vendor. I would have received an order confirmation by email, and then might get another message when it is delivered. But depending on the vendor's practices, these messages might not say "flashlight." A year later, suppose I want to know where I ordered the flashlight. If the messages refer to an order number but do not say "flashlight", I don't have a simple way to find this out. What I would like to do, when I archive the message (or subsequently), is to edit the body (or subject) to include this keyword. Is there any straightforward way to do this in Thunderbird? Thanks for any advice.

Whenever I forward an email, I get a 26 line table added above the body of the email, full of technical info. My efforts to eliminate this table, which cannot be simply deleted, have resulted in the entire body of many emails being inserted into similar tables below the inserted table. How do I stop this from happening?

Please advise - after hours with Spectrum they said my issue is with Thunderbird, (version 115.8). Mac OS 12.7.2 A few days ago, emails stopped SENDING. When I attempt to send I get this error message: "Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500... Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings." SMTP previously used port 25; I have tried STARTTTLS with port 587 and SSL/TLS with port 465, at their suggestion . Please give me correct server settings and SMTP settings for outgoing email, to input on my account settings tab. SPECTRUM was not helpful. From our online chat: ME, giving them my change settings per their instruction: MY Outgoing server SMTP Connection security: SSL/TLS Description: RoadRunner/TWC Server Name: mail.twc.com Port: 587 User Name: xxxxx@maine.rr.com Authentication method: No authentication Connection Security: SSL/TLS THEM: Perfect! They match the settings.
