Thunderbird Community Forum

I got this notification:

"You must have the 'Encrypt' button present in your compose window toolbar to be able to schedule messages with Send Later. If you removed it some point, you need to customize the toolbar and put it back. This is due to a Thunderbird bug which we hope will be fixed soon."

I don't use encryption, but do use "Send Later." I also never removed the button. I tried to customize both the main toolbar and the one in the composition window; neither one had a button under "customize" for encryption. Can anyone help with this?

Sorry I'm not making myself clear. I want to save the emails to where I can access them if needed later. After I have that I want to delete the older emails in Gmail to make the inbox and folders smaller. Thunderbird will then sync the inbox which will be considerably smaller. It appears that archiving will do this but I don't know how to copy the emails to Local Folders. It appears that Thunderbird will still be able to search & find the old emails if I need them. After deleting them, Thunderbird will be syncing the smaller inbox instead of all of them. I copied the Profiles directory from the appdata string to an external drive which it appears I have backed the profile up.

質問お願い致します。 先程、誤ってメールを送信してしまいました。 受信側のメールも削除したいのです。 申し訳ありません。 回答よろしくお願い致します。

Please ask any questions. I sent an email by mistake earlier. I also want to delete the email on the receiving side. very sorry. Thank you for your reply.

Thunderbird 115.12.2 is generating an overlay over the body of an email message blocking the user from clicking on the login link when they move the mouse cursor close to the login button contained in the email body.

Hopefully the attached images adequately demonstrate what is happening.

What is this feature called and how do I disable it please?

Thanks

I received an email where I am part of a "grouped email" that the sender created. How do I expand the group email to see the other email addresses included in the group?

Hi,

Let's say you're opening an email in thunderbird, and it's an email you've been exchanging with someone for a long time. As you scroll down, the older emails are indented to the right, making the view of the email "narrower and narrower". What is the setting or method to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance!

It must have been one of those nutty "...something I did" things that made a second account identity appear one day. I use a Unified Folders mode exclusively, and the subject account is my primary account (identical to the first Unified listing), but some action on my part made it pop up below as well, just above 'Local Folders.' The only subfolder under this redundant appearance is 'Templates,' which is empty. The unwanted appearance starts out in a blue font, but turns black (as shown below) once the 'Templates' folder is clicked on. Can I get rid of this somehow?

Whenever I select an email in my Inbox which has attached files (of any type) i get this pop-up, one for each attachment. https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-07-02-00-10-20-f3ab8a.png This has only been occurring since I updated to Ubuntu 24.04 and Thunderbird 115.12.0-2 If I click on the "Find more in Software" button I get a message 'Failed to execute child process "Gnome Software" (No such file/directory)'. I have searched for a solution but can only find a reference which suggests that the problem has something to do with Evolution, (the file handler, not Darwin's theory). Any suggestions? Cheers Ian

I've been using Thunderbird for my hotmail.com and cox.net accounts for many years. Recently cox transitioned to yahoo.com with their email and users had to transition over. I was able to do this for 5 accounts - no problem. My hotmail.com was a bit more of a challenge but I was able to get it to work. Last week I started getting sign-in errors. Nothing worked and I deleted my hotmail.com address in Thunderbird figuring it would be better to just start over - wrong choice. Now I cannot even install my hotmail.com account on my Thunderbird.

I first tried the straightforward approach. Get an app password from my Microsoft account. Nest I it account actions, add email account. I added my name, email address and app password. When I hit ok a message quickly flashed saying configuration doesn't work. When I done I get a message that server already exists. I tried going to manual configuration and changed to normal password but got the message again that server exists. I went to the Outgoing server (SMTP) list but the outlook server doesn't show up.I tried using the hotmail password instead og the app password with same results. Finally I logged out of Thunderbird, turned off the two party requirement in Outlook and again tried to add the account to Thunderbird. Now I get the message 'could not get issuer fot oauth2 authentication'. I next went into manual configuration, turned authentication to 'normal password' the the hotmail account installed.

I closed Thunderbird and started again. sent a message to the hotmail account and had to reenter the password - works. Tried to send a message and was asked againgn for the app password - then it works. So all is good except when I check the server settings for smtp and IMAP, ot shows 'normal password' After strugglig for two hours I do not want to risk changing them to oauth2. Checked under 'saved logins' and the app password is shown. Is it likely that I have arrived at a stable solution? What am I risking by having the 'normal password' authentication?

I back up my TB profile every few months. I just went thru the Cox-Yahoo email conversion and I am getting emails. When I did my back up, I noticed in the properties it had one more folder and the files went from 1311 to 2585 files. Is something wrong? Do I need to compare and research what is causing this or just move on!

How do I include a newly made email account so that it will appear in unified folders? I thought that when the new email was added to Thunderbird it would automatically show in Unified Folders but it does not.

to select two or more messages on the message pane, one method is to hold down the CTRL key and left click on the messages you want to select. This has stopped working on my Thunderbird. When I select a message and then go on to select the next message, the first message I selected is deselected. So I can only select one message for an operation, e.g. "move", "delete", rather than a group of messages.

There's an article that says we can change where attachments are stored by going to tools, options, attachments. However, I have no "options" under "tools." Thanks in advance.

I recently installed Thunderbird on my mac. It seems to work well, except that it will not show my Archive folder (simply named "Archive") in the list of folders. I can see from my mail provider's web app that it is there and has my messages in it, and if I use search in thunderbird I can find messages in the Archive folder, but the Archive folder is completely missing from the list of folders. (I can see other folders, just not Archive.)

I did find how I can customize what folders Thunderbird will put Archived messages in, but that's not what I'm looking for. What I want is to be able to see the already existing folder with messages archived by other clients, e.g. the provider's web app.

Hello, When sending a message from my gmail account within TB, I would like to automatically attach one of my other adresses as bcc: . How can I do that ?

As an alternative, is there a way to automatically copy the message in my sent folder in my gmail account to my local sent folder ? Using a filter perhaps , but I have been unable to create a filter that operates on the Sent folder.

Thank you, Alain Damlamian

I have a verizon.net email account at AOL. AOL now requires use of a one-time-use "app password" to sign in from Thunderbird. This does work but it seems like now I will have to go through this process (going to AOL web mail and requesting a new app password) every time I reboot my computer or restart Thunderbird. Is this true?

I have a notice in the bottom right of my Thunderbird screen stating 103mb of 110mb IMAP total (93%) has been used.

I presume there will be consequences should this reach 100%!

My mail server is showing no issues of quotas being reached.

Is this an issue that relates to Thunderbird quotas?

Can anyone advise how I can reduce the 103mb total that is being shown?

Many thanks in advance.
