Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

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.

OR

   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? Currently using OAuth2 for Thunderbird

I manage 8 emails accounts for the dfferent projects - I collapse all the account folders when I close down T/B. When I reload T/B all the email account folders all open up. Is there a setting to prevent this?

Sadly Thunderbird often hangs, particularly if a network disk goes down. It is a strange hang, with the Inbox shown when hovering the task bar, but selecting it does not open the window. I have been observing this for perhaps 6 months.

In the past, it was sometimes possible to Close Window, else End Task, but neither have any effect. It seems that End Task is disabled.

Consequentky when Thunderbird hangs, the only way to restore Thunderbird functionality is to tidily close all other applications, restart Windows, which fails, hold power button for 5 seconds, then manually start again.

Why isn't Thunderbird killable?

Good morning all.

I was wondering if someone could assist me in standardizing email signatures when sending a new email, and replying to an email. Let me elaborate a little bit...

When I compose a new email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `composing.jpg` attachment.

When I reply to an email, my signature comes out like what you see in the `replies.jpg` attachment.

I appreciate any assistance someone can provide, and guide me to the best way of standardizing these bad boys.

Have a great day!

I've always experience occasional TB crashes. According to my log history there was 1 in July, 3 in Aug, 2 in Sep, 2 in Oct, and 6 in Nov. I never really paid attention since the reboot was quick. But now in December I am losing work and it is a major problem. I've had 30 crashes in Dec and 21 in the past week. I have only 3 add ons and they have not changed, and a Copernic connector. I disable the Copernic connector and it didn't help. I have the same 140.6 on my Surface Go with the same add ons, except for Copernic and it runs fine. On both PCs I use Malewarebytes and WinDef. I have put exclusions for them in their setups. Even with MBAM completely disabled I've still had crashes.

I cleared the Cache and no help. I've even had occasional crashes in Troubleshooting mode. Here are my last 5 crash IDs

bp-070bf941-4e8b-41a3-8b84-3e3440251224 bp-a936f7c2-9ee3-4c38-b304-dab830251224 bp-8be9cf9e-8f2f-49bb-95cf-47e780251224 bp-12f8fc2c-c505-40f0-8c67-44b730251224 bp-9013fb78-086c-4327-9de8-62db30251223

Interestingly I’m also experiencing crashes with Firefox, especially ChatGPT. I cleared the ChatGPT history and that helped but did not solve the problem. I cleared the Firefox cache and in troubleshoot mode still have issues.

Otherwise my win11 PC seems to be working fine. I’ve run chkdsk and all is ok. Also scannow is ok.

Is my next step a profile rebuild?

Hi, I have moved to a new computer and transferred my Thunderbird account to it without any problems. However, I wanted to do a backup of my profiles, etc, but the old Thunderbird backup link no longer works. Has it been discontinued, and if so, what replaces it?

I need predictability where I can find it. Thunderbird opens how I left it, so I never know what's going to appear when I start it the next day. Isn't there some setting so that it always opens showing all 3 panes, regardless of my laziness at exit? It would also help with my autohotkey script if it knew what to expect. I suspect the lack of answers in my search suggests there is no such setting. How about a command line argument?

Hallo, ich hatte ein Password verdecken, aber mache ich nicht mehr. Ich wolle das Password loschen, das geben aber nicht. brauche auch nicht nehnen Password. Bitte helfen, danke. Andrea

I want to use TB as client for a twc.com account. I do not want a TB email account; I want to use it to access my existing twc.com account. I have downloaded TB but the only option I see is to open a TB email account, which is not my goal. How can I find the option to open the TB site and setup to use TB as client for a twc.com account?

email address no longer imports new mail. The mail is there if I go into Gmail directly, but not Tbird. I have three email addresses, the main one only has stopped importing mail. How do I fix this?

I currently have two email accounts in Thunderbird (both from Virgin), and want to add a further one (from Hotmail). The new account is up and working, but I've only been partially successful in adding it to Thunderbird. I followed the procedure given in the Support Article "Automatic Account Configuration" and this worked up to a point, but it failed at Step 4 (or possibly 5). Thunderbird seems to be able to recognise the new account and add it to the on-screen list, but It claims that it can't find any messages, although I know that there are at least 10 in its Inbox on Outlook. Furthermore, although my other two accouts have subfolders such as "Inbox, Drafts, Spam, Sent, etc." the only subfolder that appears in the new account is "Inbox", which remains stubbornly empty!

I'm attaching two screenshots. The first one shows my Firefox screen with the three accounts and their subfolders (collapsed for "richardandmaya@ntlworld.com") in the left hand column. The new one is the one named "ailuros2@hotmail.com". The second screenshot shows the new account seen via its native Outlook, which shows all the messages that I know are there but which Thunderbird can't see.

Strangly, I seem to be able to send messages from the new account to other accounts.

Any suggestions?

The New Line (Enter) key always double spaces, which is intended for paragraph text. But for tabular text, this makes unnecessary white space. What key combination generates only a SINGLE new line character rather than TWO of them?

Example: Donor: xxxxx Email: xxxxx Phone: xxxxx Billing Address: xxxxx Bank: xxxxx; Account ending in xxxx

This screen defaults to single spacing; why doesn't Thunderbird allow it?
