Thunderbird Community Forum

My junk email has increased dramatically lately. I'm sure it's just life on the internet but I'm trying to figure out if clicking "unsubscribe" actually does anything. I've been putting all the emails that I click "unsubscribe" into a separate folder. I'd like to sort the folder by the email address of the sender. However, when you click on the "from" selection in the message window it gives you the entire entry that the sender put in the send section. In other words I see "The Scary Law, Thomas T. from NFE <daily@today.newfinanceera.com>". Is there a way to get a column that just shows the "<daily@today.newfinanceera.com>" so I can sort on that item?

In my Thunderbird, I accidentally deleted the Menu Bar from the new Draft box e.g. including Reply, Delete, Print, Save etc, and I can't link my draft with my Contacts to enter the email address of the recipient.

Account Settings > New Account > Enter passwordless Microsoft account credentials

After this, Thunderbird now prompts me to enter a Password and "Your login", whatever that means. My account does not have a password, but the field is mandatory. What am I supposed to do here, exactly?

Hi there, Just installed Thunderbird email. Before uninstalling Outlook 2016, I tried to forward some messages to Thunderbird, but Thunderbird will not show emabedded images or attached photos, regardless of format (JPG, WEBP or PNG) Example: Instead of the image embedded in the email, I got this: g:20260201194950ee722ec300f042669bef9585ca10p0eu&R=1KSFSC960P76L&T=O&U=https %3A%2F%2Fimages-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fnav%2Ftransp.gi f&H=8QFJAA9HOQ1LXLAKNXLPWFHXGSSA&ref_=pe_109088481_1104238771_opens>

I have Original HTML in Thunderbird settings, not changed anything. How do I resolve this? I appreciate your help

I want to change the folder to which I currently send my spam filters on my Mac. I understand how I can edit them individually and handle new filters, however I have several hundred accumulated filters created over the years and doing so individually will be very time consuming. Is there a method I can use to change all existing spam filter's destination folder in a single step. I know a bit about using Config Editor, Chrome css, probably just enough to get my self in trouble. I see several spam filter files within the Thunderbird folder, but not sure if they are germane.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm a retired IT Tech and supported MS Outlook with Exchange for years. Lately I've tired of the constant bickering between Google and MS that just seem to make using Outlook at home difficult. I've been working on Migrating from MS Outlook to Thunderbird v147.0.1. I had a large PST file with Saved Items and it's been a struggle to process all that but finally got connected to Gmail, converted/imported the PST items and then began working on Calendar. Finally got all that working and I'm now having trouble getting Google Tasks connected to Thunderbird. Google doesn't seem to be exposing the Tasks feed via CalDAV. Has anyone run into this before and does anyone have any suggestions to resolve? Thanks.

docx and xlsx attached files don't open with I click on them. I want them to open in Word and Excel. Nothing happens. I have to save them to my Desktop and then I can open them.

doc and xls attached files open when I click on them.

I can't find any associations in "files and attachments". 

I'm using version 140.7.0esr (64-bit)

Hi, I have googled this and been into the Thunderbird Help section and cannot find an answer. I am having trouble with one of my email accounts, I want to delete it and it and reinstall it. I get to the point in the process where it says to click on Remove Or Remove account but there is no tab or button that is visible to do this. Help here would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark

I have ended up with five different calendars. They all have different names--probably because I really don't understand how Thunderbird organizes things in regard to the rest of the internet. Several people in our household share calendars, to keep track of events, tasks due, and medications.

So how do I consolidate all the entries in all of these calendars? I have tried syncing, but that doesn't seem to work. How can I know that when I enter a soccer schedule on (one of) my calendars, it will end up on the calendar that my wife uses to print out our family weekly schedule?

Hi, I'm a new user. I cannot send email. Receive is ok.

I get this prompt: Password required for outgoing (SMTP) Server mailhost.zen.co.uk So I add the password, but then I get this error: Login to server mailhost.zen.co.uk with username zen53214 failed. Retry - Enter new password - Cancel I add a new password (the one I use on the zen webmail portal) and I get this message: Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) AUTH command not available at this time. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'. The outgoing server setup is the following: Description: zen53214 Server name: mailhost.zen.co.uk Port: 857 Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password User name: zen53214

There is a sync issue with zen email password but I cannot change it on the zen portal, because the password in ThunderBird doesn't have a special character and Zen will not let me change the existing password to one that doesn't have a special character.

What can I do to resolve? Please help. I'd like to stay with ThunderBird email.

Thanks!

Thunderbird 143.0.1 eclipse.

Quite recently I noticed that, in the list of folders, I see 2 "Junk" folders.

On looking at the properties for 1 Junk folder the location is shown as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Junk",

but properties for the other shown as Junk locates as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Spam".

I've tried renaming that folder in Thunderbird to Spam but the change doesn't take effect.

What went wrong, and more importantly how can I rename it to see it as "Spam"?

tnx.

Mit meinem e-Mail Konto .gmx.de kann ich keine eingegangenen Mails mehr weiterleiten und auch keine neuen Nachrichten mehr versenden. Nach dem Betätigen "Senden" kommt immer der Hinweis "Postausgangsserver SMTP kann nicht authentifiziert werden.Überürüfe Passwort und gewählte Authentifiziermethode unter Kontoeistellungen " .Ich habe aber nichts verändert und weiß nicht was ich in Einstellungen überprüfen soll oder ändern soll.

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 102.15.1 on my laptop and have a problem with right-click menus on folder names.

The menu appears for a brief instant and then disappears. If I move the mouse cursor slightly then it is redrawn and behaves normally.

Is this a known problem, i.e. requiring a further upgrade?

Hi, I have been using TB for many years, when suddenly 4 days ago ( Feb. 1st.) it started as a brand new install, asking to set up a new account, I got no previous warnings or had other issues.

Since then I have done several attempts to get it connected with my profile, among others: - Everything from this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data - Importing the Profile from Functions > Import > "Import from another Thunderbird installation" - Reinstalling TB ( without removing the profile)

All of it with no succes, there is no accounts, and no mails, only some empty local folders so I'm running out of good ideas, and I really hope you can help!

BTW, somehow the addressbook has content, as the only thing.

Thanks Best regards Preben
