Hi

When Thunderbird is started maximized it overlap taskbar if is set to hide and taskbar won't show until Thunderbird is minimized and maximized. Another way is to press the Win key two times. Then the hided taskbar can be shown/use. The same thing happens to Firefox. Only when is first started. Then if Firefox is minimized and maximized, press Win key two times, press F11 two times then the hided taskbar show/hide normal.

It is a setting that can be changed to start Thunderbird and Firefox in full screen and do not overlap hided taskbar?

Hi! I got a new computer and installed Thunderbird on it in such a way that the Thunderbird data was saved from my old computer and uploaded to my new computer (Thunderbird profile backup.zip). But unfortunately it did not transfer either the address books or the calendar and tasks entries. I tried the calendar and tasks export/import function, but when I select the import .ics file, it says that it is not found in the importable element file. I also use Google Calendar and I was able to import the .ics file from there into Thunderbird without any problems. What could be the problem?

When I tried to import my OpenGPG keys from the "Select File to Import...", I found that it cannot display the hidden files or directories.

Did I miss a setting for this? What can I do to show the hidden files?

I am trying to set up a visualization of the columns of the main interface. Here's what I do:

1. Click on the list icon in the top right corner.
2. Uncheck the columns I want to hide. Specifically, From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB).
3. Apply the selection to all folders: click on the icon in the top right corner, apply columns to.. > folders and its children... > select account > Confirm

These actions produce immediate results. However, the next day or a few days later, when I reopen the program, the column display changes. Sometimes in the main folder (inbox), sometimes in the subfolders.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to keep the desired column configuration stable?

I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-

   Something went wrong
   We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device.

   We couldn’t sign you in
   Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
   Turn off ad blockers
   Enable JavaScript

If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.

I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation. Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)

   Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com

Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)

   No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site

I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).

I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo" BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed?

der e-mail Anbieter ionos gibt mir folgende Fehlermeldung: Anmeldung auf dem Server imap.ionos.de mit Benutzernamen "info@palion.de" fehlgeschlagen. Ich kann es nochmals versuchen, neues Passwort vergeben oder abbrechen. Ich habe mit Ionos gesprochen, sie sichern Hilfe zu, aber es dauert. Solange empfange ich keine e-mails auf info@palion.de und wollte die mails auf info@latea.de umleiten. Geht das? die Antworten an info@latea.de senden.

I opened Thunderbird and it seems that all my emails from Inbox are gone. They weren't moved to Trash, they were just gone. My folders are intact and also my Sent emails are still there. This is already the second time in 6 months that this is happening. I haven't changed any settings, there were still disk space left, I haven't clicked on anything. If I go to Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Folder -> Inbox and open in Notepad they are still there, however the extent of my IT knowledge ends here. What could be the issue and how can I restore my Inbox?

Hello,

I have two calendars in Thunderbird connected to my email server at the provider https://all-inkl.com/. The connection is done via CalDAV.

My problem is that the calendars do not synchronize with the changes on the server or do it in intervals that are not understandable to me. I have also connected the server via CalDAV to my calendar app on my phone and that works fine. Changes to events on my phone are synchronized to the server quickly and I can check the server to see them. However in Thunderbird, the changes do not arrive and even if I manually tell the calendars to synchronize, nothing happens. The only reliable way I have managed to make them update is closing Thunderbird and reopening it. Then the synchronization happens by itself within a minute.

Does anyone know how to address this problem?

Switching offline support on or off makes no difference, as far as I can tell by testing.

My system: Thunderbird 147.0.2 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Calendar settings: - refresh calendar: every 5 minutes - read only: off - show reminders: on - offline support: on

Thanks!

Hello, I have three profiles, and then a large number of sub folders in Local Folders. I would like to know how to transfer these Local Folders to Outlook. the profiles and their emails have all been transferred successfully.

Hi all,

After thoroughly searching this database, I could not locate an answer to the issue I am facing, although there seem to have been several similar cases.

My former university has recently decided to delete alumni email accounts, so I am using Thunderbird for email transferring from university to GMail (added both accounts to Thunderbird and then began copying emails and folders). Transfer is slow, depending on the server capabilities etc., but I am going folder by folder and so far it has been fine. I began the transfers a week ago.

Last night I noticed my Thunderbird inbox for my school is not showing anymore. The profile folder is only showing one file (.msf) for Inbox, instead of what should be, in my understanding, two files.

Thunderbird is still communicating well with the university email server because I made a folder rearrangement on the university webmail service (outlook.com) and it showed on Thunderbird. In addition, all my Inbox emails appear fine on the university webmail service (outlook.com).

Any ideas? This is obviously important and urgent.

Thank you in advance.

For 2 years have been trying to get Thunderbird to access my mail from The Messaging Co. My old Win 10 laptop has no problem. My new win 11 laptop won't. I have configured the servers over and over but everytime I try to access Thunderbird I get "could not connect to mail server: the connection was refused". Who is refusing the connection? And why? I have re-downloaded Thunderbird several times but the problem persists. I am using Firefox. And using the in and out servers as per my win 10 laptop.

I have spent most of two days trying to Thunderbird to send email. It has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly, emails end up in Sent folder but go nowhere. My email host service sees nothing wrong. I can send emails through webmail and usually through Outlook. I have spent most of the day getting coached by Copilot and I am quite sure I have all the settings the way that worked flawlessly until two weeks ago. Is Thunderbird just dead and I need to go to Outlook?

Whenever I create an event in the calendar, Thunderbird creates it in the "Task calendar" and I want it in my other, email named calendar. Can this behavior be changed? It's so frustrating because I have to edit the event and all the attendees get a second notice. Thank you
