I have several cards in my address book that have two email addresses on the card. When using Thunderbird and selecting the card does Thunderbird send the email to BOTH addresses? I'm a long time user of both Firefox and Thunderbird. John Feagin Birmingham, AL jfeagin@charter.net

I have a couple of hundred filters and one of them occasionally kicks in and unexpectedly moves certain messages to a new folder but I can't figure out which filter it is. Rather than me going through every filter manually, can't Thunderbird tell me which filter affected a given message? I'd like to be able to right-click a message and be shown the exact filter(s) which affected it.

Hi

My version of Thunderbird has just been updated automatically to 140.Oesr (32-bit)

I now cannot enter hyperlinks (Ctrl K) into emails.

The text appears in the email but it is not underlined.

I have also sent the emails to myself and the hyperlink is still not clickable in the received email.

I was able to enter hyperlinks in the previous version of Thunderbird.

I hope you have a solution because I use this facility frequently.

Thank you.

My green "New Message" button has stopped working for some reason. I've tried switching it off then back on but it still won't work. so at the moment I can't create new emails. Regards William

Thunderbird couldn't connect to ATT/yahoo mail with the error "Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Unsupported SASL mechanism." I am totally unfamiliar with this issue but know it involves an encrypted password. A net search so far is of little help though I did run into a statement that windows doesn't have this issue. I use linux and searching my package manager I find quite a few SASL mechanism plugins (who knew?) but no way to differentiate any. ATT's site is useless. Is anyone here familiar with this problem? In the meantime, I see 1 called login mechanism plugin - no, thats deprecated of course, says use the plain one so its that one for me. Tnx...

I'm recovering from a HDD crash that damaged the boot sector only, my files were unharmed. I am/was using Thunderbird. My Roadrunner IN BOUND e-mails were saved on the Roadrunner servers and successfully downloaded to the new Thunderbird client installed on my new hard drive. But none of my SENT e-mails were stored by Roadrunner.

I want to find my old HDD file of SENT e-mails only and move it to my new drive so they'll load in my new Thunderbird. Roadrunner support said they should be on my old HDD but because my old Thunderbird settings were in POP while my new Thunderbird is in IMAP, the file may not be compatible. Of course they gave me incorrect settings also, so not sure if that's accurate.

Regardless, even if incompatible, I want to have some way to access my old sent e-mails for tax and other purposes.

Please help!

Thanks Theo

I just installed Thunderbird on a new computer. I hadn't used Thunderbird in some time. I can't seem to add ANY remote address books. There is an option to add an address book account. When I click on it, I get a dialogue box which lists several options which get highlighted whenever I mouse over then, however, when I click on ANY of the options, nothing happens.

How, then, can I add a CardDav address book to this?

(This is embarrassing.)

The first screenshot shows how I've been viewing messages.

Today I tried some of the View option.

Now I have what shows in the second screenshot.

I've tried every View combination, but I can't get back to the way I had it! 😣

Would appreciate some help, please.

[I am starting a new post because I was replying to someone else's post and it stopped working.]

After updating to TB v.140.0esr (then just now updating to v.140.0.1esr) from v.128esr, I cannot compose a new message in any Local Folders or my main virtual inbox. The +New Message button is there, but clicking it does nothing. It was working for over a decade before this.

However, going into the normal account folder inboxes DOES allow me to click the "+New Message" button and start/compose a new message.

I can still reply to messages in the local and virtual folders, just not start a new message.

I have tried disabling all security software. No luck.

I have ran Help > Troubleshoot mode with no addons. No luck.

When I create a new folder under Local Folders, clicking New Message still does nothing while in that new folder. But if I move that new folder to an existing email account, then go to the new folder, clicking New Message works correctly.

I am on Windows 10. I did use the addon Manually Sort Folders in the past, but not recently.

I ran the Check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) on TB v.140.0esr. Here is the paste:

What settings do you suggest to allow access to my att email account? I am using Thunderbird V 140.0.1 esr on an iMAC running iOS 10.15.7. The attached screenshots show the results of attempts to re-establish the account and the resulting error messages. It appears that the server settings need tweaking, since the user name and password are those I use to log in successfully to the att account with both Firefox and my iPhone. Thank you, Vince K.

I recently added the Send Later add-on, but, when I click on the "Send Later" button, a pop-up briefly appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears. Is there any solution to this? Thank you in advance.

I have an email account with BlueHost, which also hosts my web domain. A couple weeks ago I stopped receiving emails and contacted BlueHost tech support. The agent had no clue why I wasn't receiving email. She said "Can you please click on acocunt actions and remove the account and re-addd it. [sic]" I did that, and I was again able to receive emails. But then all my old emails -- sent and received -- had disappeared. BlueHost was able to restore my Inbox emails back to May 19, but was not able to recover any Sent emails. I have a backup of my Thunderbird directory from April, but would like to recover all of my old emails, which apparently still exist because my current Thunderbird Profiles directory contains files corresponding to deleted email folders. For example, my Inbox had a subfolder -- call it ABC -- that was deleted and is no longer visible in my Inbox, but I can find files ABC (no extension) and ABC.msf in my Inbox.sbd folder. My Sent.sbd folder also contains files ABC and ABC.msf. These folders are in C:\Users\aaa\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\aaa.default\Mail\mail.aaa.com (with "aaa" representing my personal identifiers). mail.aaa.com contains files Inbox, Inbox.msf, Sent, and Sent.msf, which seem to contain my old emails. (Inbox is 132,151 KB and Sent is 289,829 KB, and the file dates are from a couple weeks ago, when I removed and re-added the email account.)

Is there a way that I can recover the old emails?

I am trying to find the Thunderbird app so I can bypass SurfShack VPN The latest version of Thunderbird is installed and working but I can't find the executable SurfShack does not show Thunderbird as an application it can bypass

Hello, I usually redirect incoming email automatically to custom local subfolders (POP account).

Today I noticed that, since october 2024, my Message Filters started copying emails, instead of moving them, despite the still-correct instruction. So I'm left with a bunch of duplicates.

Does anyone know how to fix this bug?
