Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi

Is it possible to use some managment tool in corporate network of Thunderbird Clients? We have clients in our company deployed with one version when reinstalling workstations. As Thunderbird can be set so that it does not download the update, it is still in a state where at least it asks and the user clicks on it. The question is that is it possible to do this in some software or update center??? The point ist we dont have the control over the clients updates. We wont to release these updates for the whole company when we agree not when the users do so by accident. What often happens to us, the versions are then different and we would like to have it under control.

Imagine we replace 100 workstations a year. The version is the same. Time will pass and in 3 months it will be a mess. Is there any way to keep it in order ??? Tips on how to keep one version in a large network and then do a massive update on 100+ workstations.

This mess of various versions then causes a problem for users with different views and unnecessary problems in managing clients for administrators in our company. When we know that version 80 is good and then that 85 is good again or does not cause any problem in our environment after the tests. Then we will deploy it for everyone.

Thank you for your help Lubomir

Apparently since version 91, I have an issue with Virtual Folders.

Current version is 91.3.0

In my "Sent" virtual folder, messages sent by Gmail do not appear in the overview list.

I tried to clarify the issue: - the messages sent through my Gmail accounts do not appear in the summary list, but they appear in the detailed folders - this problem concerns all my Gmail accounts and no other accounts (laposte.net, me.com). - this problem only concerns the SENT virtual folder, not the other virtual folders - I can make all the messages sent to reappear correctly, by going to the properties of the virtual folder, then "choose" and ticking the right folders. But when I quit Thunderbird and come back, the messages no longer appear (and the checkmarks for those folders have disappeared). - I arrive at the same result by deleting in the data of Thunderbird the folder "smart mailboxes" and the file "VirtualFolders.dat": at the first launch everything works, at the second one again, the unified view for the Gmail accounts is lost (and Gmail mailboxes do not appear in the VirtualFolders.dat file, section Sent ". They appear in all other sections.) - I deleted and recreated one of my Gmail accounts, without success.

Thanks in advance for your help. Jean-Pierre

Whenever I configure in Thunderbird, OAuh2.0 with google, I get the pop up with prefilled account name as soon as starting up or synchronizing, but as soon as I click anything or type anything in the google box, the prefilled name disappears.

Refilling it does not work either, the page / box, just reloads and the (pre)filled name is gone. Logging in at the same time in a web-browser and staying logged in, does not work either. Switching on or off my VPN does not work either, (this has caused major problems in the past, to access my accounts anyway).

Only using "normal password" and the setting "allow unsecured apps" in Google, works as work around However Google is ending the support for this option in a month or so.

I have seen multiple (old) posts about this, but not found the one where my issue of a reloading page without prefilled name occurs..

Please advice, yeah stop using google hehe, no but seriously... wtf.

Win10 Thunderbird 91.8.1 64 bits

I know I asked this before but sorry i forgot the answer plus i am on a difference machine is there a way to remove it from the bottom right of the status bar. Thanks

Hello,

My remote server supports POP only and the disk space is filling up. So, I wanted Thunderbird to download all emails from all times to the local disk.

But it is downloading only few days and not all mails. Tools >> Account settings >>Synchronization & Storage option is not available to me.

Is there any add-on to do the job or some way to activate the Synchronization & Storage option?

Is there any kind soul to help me out?

In anticipation, Thanks, Gaurab

Thunderbird WIndows - auto-installed update 91.8.1 this morning, Apr.28th.

Incoming emails stopped showing up in the inboxes in all three accounts I have set up.

Can I unroll the update? 91.8.0 was working fine. I use Thunderbird for work - need a solution urgently.

Thanks in advance! Cyril

<tools> <Clear recent history> asks whether I want to delete Browsing history cookies cache

I have 7800 entries in cache. Are these "scratch" or "temporary" files or are these files I have kept in folders over a few decades? I want to keep the messages that I put in folders.

Is Browsing history just links to Firefox I clicked on inside messages?

I receive emails addressed to many different eddresses which have been sent to me via a remailer. The To: function still shows the original eddress. I want any emails originally addressed to two specific eddresses to be forwarded to another eddress, one that will be read on an iPad. Is this possible?

Why is this Thunderbird version so confusing? Doesn't print, can't reply, etc w/o having this whole bunch of tech headers at beginning. What happened to the regular email, print, text, reply features.

Left Outlook due to it's craziness and deciding what to put as spam and in archive vs myself so again thought I'd try Thunderbird as it was a good email program. Now I see why it isn't listed any longer as a good free email program. I have 2 email programs I pay for - Protonmail VPN and Mailfence Entry level. Still learning how to have more than1 email address to use.

Thunderbird used to be very simple, user friendly, and quick. Now it's a mess even when trying to just reply to someeone's email. I get all these 'headers' first and when I select print, I get all this header garbage which wastes tons of paper. Can't find a way around it.

Please help or I'm going to have to dump thunderbird until it gets itself fixed!

Hi I sent an email with responses to questions changed to red text. However, when it arrived, all text was back to black. - Even shows black in my sent folder, which is when I realised there was an issue.

How do I solve this?

Windows 10 21H1 TB 91.8.1 32-bit

I love TB, but this is an issue, as is not being able to send images within an email - they always disappear when email sent. I have learnt to get round this by always pasting image into a Word doc & then attaching that, but it's a bit long winded

Any suggestions gratefully received Thanks

When I send an e-mail from my virgin.net account it is sent again from a g-mail account, so the recipient gets it twice. I can't see anything in settings that can explain this.

I use Google Workspace as my e-mail provider, and Thunderbird (PoP3 -- there is a good reason why I use PoP and not IMAP) as my e-mail client. This has worked very well for a long time. Yesterday (4/12/22) updated TB from 91.7.0 to 91.8.0. Previously, I would enter my Google Workspace password (only, once per session) to download mail, and my gmail password (only, once per session) to send mail (using Google's SMTP server). After the update, I was asked for both username and password to log into the Google Workspace account, and every time I sent an e-mail I had to provide both username and password for the gmail account. Fortunately, I had set a restore point before the TB update and was able to restore my system to its normal operation. Can you please help me with what is going on, and how to get back to normal operation under the new update? Thank you!

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19044 build 19044 (21H2)

Suddenly .... Folders show that they contain messages but the message list window is empty. If I '"repair folder", the list of messages is restored. But i have to go through that painful process for each folder, and i have many accounts and folders. And if Tbird is closed and reopened, the problem still exists - even 'repaired' folders do not display their messages.

Version 91.8.1, Win 10

I have only ever had one email address on Thunderbird for the last 17 years or so and now I have added some more email addresses. Each email address is listed on the left, however, in other email platforms there is a generalised view with inbox, sent., deleted etc., on top of the separate email addresses so that you can see what's come in or gone out without going to each address and dropping down the menu on each one to see if you have emails. Is there a way to arrange this so that one has a general view of all one's email activities on top of the individual addresses just as they have in Outlook or Apple Mail please?

I have been getting this for a month or so. Thunderbird checks all 4 email addresses I use with my PC (I have one for mail, and 3 I use only for e-transfers between banks). This popup always shows one of the banking addresses. When I click Next is asks me for email address. No matter which one I put in, it fails. So now I just accept that I must X it off every time I start Thunderbird. I use MailwasherPro to check all my email every 10 minutes and reject all the mail I have blacklisted. I think it uses iMap to check the mail, then Thunderbird uses POP to down load mail and delete it from the server. I just checked my password for the troublesome account and found it was incorrect (?). I corrected it but I still get the Google popup. I've gotten used to having to X off the popup before I can read or write mail, but I'd still like to solve the problem. I tried the suggestions in the replies to the 2020 question, but no luck.
