Thunderbird Support Forum

After the last major update (right now it's 102.3.3), I'm facing a weird problem.

I'm using a personal ID certificate for S/MIME, but the new email window has always PGP turned on by default (see attachment).

Once I want to send a message I'm getting an error that PGP is not configured.

Is there anything I can do to get back to S/MIME turned on by default?

Thanks in advance, Tim

Hi,

Is there a way to set Tbird to select the first unread email in the inbox on startup? Or go to the first email in the inbox?

My "write" page does not have the contacts list at the left since yesterday, what can I do, please? I have used Mozilla for some time without this happening before.

Most annoying thing ever. Used to be when I wanted to print just the 1st page of an email I could do it in 2 clicks.... now I have to fill in what pages i want ...took a simple thing and made it more "clickey" ... finally got it to let me open PDFs with native Acrobat program.... this one I can't get rid off.

When displaying grouped inbox I changed the View -> Sort By setting to "Grouped" from "Unthreaded" (I'm translating these names from Polish so might not 100% match). After that change Thunderbird freezes when starting it. I can run it in safe mode but as soon as I click on grouped inbox folder it freezes again.

Is there a way to reset View -> Sort By settings for this folder somehow without displaying it? E.g., from config editor?

I tried setting mailnews.default_news_view_flags and mailnews.default_view_flags to 0 but that didn't help.

I have just installed 102 thunderbird on Windows 11. There is one setting I can't find, that I swear behaves differently/'correctly' from a Linux (91.x), that is: Hover over a message in the list for a second or two, scroll down with keyboard, message goes from 'unread' (bold) to 'read' (normal font), the green 'unread' indicator goes out.

The setting I found seems to apply to a message being read, not hovered over (selected with keyboard or mouse), if that makes sense.

Also, I'd like to see a delete icon rather than needing to hit the keyboard delete, when browsing a list of messages. Possible? Or is it just hidden by my "PixelsPerPX" setting?

Sorry, go ahead and give me a "piling-on penalty" for multiple questions in the same support request.

The automatic header of the quotation is only one line with name and date, if I create an answer for an email. It must be the complete header like the header of the quotation, if I create a forward-email. There is more information in that header like date, time, sender, receiver, subject of the original email wich is quoting. How can I configure this for the quotation of an answer-email?

thanks for your answer!

Hello, I am trying to configure a new POP email address for the first time in many years, and I just need a bit of assistance.

All of my previously configured email accounts share the same inbox etc under LOCAL FOLDERS and I want the new one to do the same.

I know how to configure the account to use LOCAL FOLDERS for sent items, drafts, etc via the COPIES & FOLDERS tab under Account Settings.

But what else do I need to do in order to tell Thunderbird that I want to use LOCAL FOLDERS for everything and not have the email account show up separately in the folders panel?

I can't remember what I had to do years ago when I set up my other accounts, and of course things may have changed.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Buongiorno, dall'aggiornamento alla versione 102.2.2 di thunderbird nella preview degli allegati in altro a destra non c'è più il pulsante per inoltrare l'allegato. Come posso risolvere?

More a suggestion than a question.

I had problem to change my "sound", but finally installed a .wma sound and it works fine.

Now a suggestion: change the menu to change the sound with only a .wav sound, instead of the current BIG list. For the fun, I found the http:\\www.soundrangers.com who produced sound of the background themes installed from Windows. It's still open.

For years when I compose an email, my address book appeared on the left column.

Somehow today it disappeared. How can I get it back to the above location when composing an email?

When i am typing a text in thunderbird and then pressing the return key, the cursor springs always in the next paragrph ( 2 lines under ), but i want it only to go to the next line. When i choose text it always changes by pressing the return key to paragraph. How can i change this ungraceful habit of thunderbird?

Hi,

I have a Mozilla Thunderbird email client, which has been linked to my Microsoft Outlook account using IMAP for years, and has operated perfectly well for my personal preferences.

At some point overnight (26th / 27th May) this stopped working and I am now presented with the error message "Sending of password for user xxx@xxxxxxx.co.uk did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" when trying to download mail.

This is very strange as I can log in directly to my Outlook account using the same user name and password. No settings were changed by me in either Mozilla or Outlook.

For information, I can still send messages from Thunderbird but not now receive them.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks.

Hi, I have cancelled automatic updates for add-ons. When I choose check for update TB does nothing despite the fact that there was a new version of Card book, for which I proceeded manually. Any Help???
