Thunderbird Support Forum

My thunderbird always requires a password when accessing from a new travel location. To solve this, I need to enter outlook from the web, then verify with a second email, then reenter the password in Thunderbird.

Can Thunderbird/Outlook not remember my Notebook device?

Thunderbird 102.6.1 Windows 10 on HP desktop PC. Only one message selected for deletion but TB deletes all contents of folder. Deleted emails normally go to DELETED bin but this folder has also been emptied. No changes made to TB or to Fastmail, this system has been faultless past five years. Tried Repair Folder, no luck.

Hello, I have NEVER had problems with [Currently using:Thunderbird 60.9.1 (32-bit). Can I update to current Thunderbird with no problems?] Or - simply NOT fool around and stay with the above version?

Thank you, P. Mitchell

I keep getting the message about to many server settings open. I have reduced the number to and the problem still persists, and I cannot receive any emails. What needs to be done?

Not sure where to put this; too many issues at the same time.

1: - Thunderbird moved the top menu bar to the left, now has unreachable buttons at the bottom due to negative interactions with other menus and window manager => tried many forums, but all changes to ./chrome/userChrome.css are ignored. 2: - the quick filter button was moved from the toolbar to an individual bar, adding one new line above message list, reducing the vertical space for content 3: - new management of borders have negative interactions with window manager (tried both options, with and without decoration, both are ... BAD). making it impossible for window manager to properly resize window magnet to other windows 4: - there are large sensibility zones for decoration management catched by TB that make some buttons unreachable in the left bar, and the window manager gadgets i have below (quick launch and desktop management) 5: - there is a new sensibility zone between the top menu bar and the top decoration of windows that give access to some window manager menu, useless at this place, and it reduced the vertical sensibility zone of the buttons, making the click box smaller, and reducing the effective size of buttons, making them harder to click 6: - the unread message count which used to be a nice light blue is now white in a dark grey box, catching the eye more than necessary, slowing me down, and increasing my brain work to focus on what i need to do. also this value is unconsistent; my inbox is curretly shown with 411 total messages, and 630 unread. If i unfold the folder in left column, it seems i have only 89 unread in inbox, and 2 in one subflder, but, to me, 89+2 is not equal to 630. 7: - the file/edit/view menu bar is now BELOW the actions buttons Get/Write/Reply ... 8: - if I roll up the TB windows in the top decoration, any mouse click in the place where the win used to be remains inefficient. So, TB completely broke E17. A shaded win still occupies the screen as if it's unshaded, and more (about 20 pixels below the bottom decoration). 9: - It's 20y the message list was aligned on the top message, so I always made that box half a message taller than an exact message line height multiple, so that the half line white space was a proof I was at the bottom of the list. Now, the list is aligned bottom, and the top line is shown half. I now have no way to know if i am in middle on bottom of list (plus lift is now auto hide).

i don't have any screenshot from previous version for reference. And half issues are bad interactions with E17 about magnetism, and size of click boxes, and this can't be shown on screenshots; even videos would not help if you can't feel it physically, or never used E17 yourself in the past; you can't know how it used to behave.

All these changes have an intense negative impact on my work speed. They slow me down.

TB had almost not changed in 20y of use, but these changes, at the same time, with so many consequences on window manager ... I can't stand it. 20y of habits lost in one evening. Not something you can change at my age.

I have seen only one improvement (bug fix) in recent TB: "save all" attachements works now fine from the menu under the message, and we no longer need to use Save All from top menus (regression bug between TB 1.2 and 1.5, IIRC).

Not sure if you did a recent update to Thunderbird but my setting changed, took me a while to get things working again. Today I wanted to edit an address but after right clicking on it to bring up the edit option, it didn't work..? When I open "Write" I have the address book open on the left and could always edit the addresses. What's happened...?

I have four Gmail accounts which I'm phasing out because of the absurd Google policies and convolutions. I've added four new accounts with another, my own mail hosting service. all the four Gmail accounts I have set to forward all to thee new accounts.

The problem is every time I start up Thunderbird it defaults stubbornly to the previous Gmail account which subsequently it cannot log in and for a password.

I tried everything, setting the other account as default account, unchecking server settings [i.e.check for new messages at start up].

Since I have much (downloaded) information still in subfolders that I need to access from time to time I have not yet deleted that account.

Nothing seems to work, every time I start Thunderbird it immediately goes to that previous default Gmail account and then prompts me for "mail server password required".

The strange thing is that the other remaining three Gmail accounts which have identical settings do not create a problem.

how can I make this stop for once and for all?

Trying to set up an account from VistaPrint (webmail.vpwebmail.com).

Everything checks out on their end, but T-Bird won't set it up?

Thank you.

Have one PC that thunderbird is crashing on. Program appears on the screen for a second or two then crashes, then I get the crash report popup. I tried starting thunderbird in safe mode and had the same results. Here are the last two crash reports, I have more if needed. bp-69869915-73ce-42e9-ab1b-30bbf0221122 bp-2b617d21-dc6c-4dcb-863f-27ff50221122

Thank you for any help that you may offer.

All of a sudden I can't send emails from Thunderbird. Even though the email is just a bit of text, I get a message saying that the size of the email exceeds the space available on the server. Our internet provider is Frontier, and I can send messages from Frontiermail. I call Frontier tech support, and got told that I didn't have space on my server, which makes no sense. Have any suggestions? I can get emails.

My computer broke down a few months ago and when I put Thunderbird onto my new one, it only retrieved my mails from 2021 when actually they went back to about 2013. I now have another computer and I wondered if, when I install Thunderbird on this one, is there any way I can retrieve my early inbox and sent items and if possible my drafts?

Some emails, after opening, display a series of letters and numbers, etc., and some emails from other sources are displayed as they always have. I have updated to Firefox 102.0.2.

Sometimes when I click on a particular email, the body of the email is not only a mess of alpha and numeric characters but the email that is opened is completely different than what I selected.

In addition to this new problem, the screen display of my emails has changed; I no longer have an [Address] button across the top and when I access my addresses from a drop-down menu, they do not appear in the format they used to and the one I need.

Greetings,

I was wondering if there was a way to move the ENTIRE messages column to the left side of the screen next to/in front of the Folders menu. I tried looking it up online but have not found a way to do this and was unable to find something that looked like what I was looking for on the FAQs.
