Thunderbird Community Forum

I have several Google accounts. For each one, the first time I checked my mail, I got a Thunderbird pop up saying "See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar" and another Thunderbird pop-up saying "See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts", followed by two "Mozilla Thunderbird Email was granted access to your Google Account" emails to each account.

And for all accounts but one, that was the end of it. But for one account, for some reason, I have to go through the whole authorization process again each time I start Thunderbird. I tried deleting the account, and Thunderbird still made me go through the whole authorization process -- for an account that no longer existed!

I re-created the account. No change.

Any idea what the problem is? It started after a Thunderbird update.

Hello, I have a problem with creating messages. The new message button does not respond to clicking (the same with file > create > message). You can reply to messages normally. Please advise how to fix the problem.

Hi,

Knowing this is the "ask the community" 's Thread, but don't know where else has official place to share about Thunderbird's info.

For those who wonder how to change this settings (View message in new window), I had searched up and down the net there is no new updated method has been shared.

It is easy and here is settings to change: Click at upper right corner resembles "Hamburger" icon > Settings > General > Scroll down till "Open messages in:" > Select "A new message window".

Done. You're welcome :)

Just setup a second Thunderbird profile for Exchange. Using Owl for Exchange plugin.

I right click onto a subfolder, and pick Properties, then go into Synchronization. I click onto a checkbox for "Select this folder for offline use" and I hit OK to close the window. Nothing happens. I go back, and the checkbox is not checked. I tried hitting the Download Now buttons, nothing happened.

Any clue why my check box selection is not accepted?

When I used Outlook, I set it up to use OST, so I have a copy of my email that is on the remote Exchange server. Now I am trying to do the same with Thunderbird.

Thank you

I use thunderbird on various computers and laptops. In one of them I cannot change the signature permanently. I have to change it every day again. In the mask is no button for saving the changes. Neither is on the other computers. But on my other devices is no problem. What can I do?

Hello, I want to put a table in a Thunderbird message. The table will have no borders except for the leftmost column, which I want to have a black 5px border on its left side only. I can’t figure out how to do this with the tools available, any assistance would be gratefully received. Alan.

I use the conversation button to see the thread as well as the search feature. Both weren't working properly. I thought it could be a problem with the indexing.

So I followed instructions online and typed in %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\ to the Search bar in windows and then deleted the global-messages section and then opened again to watch the progress in the actiivites manager. It gets stuck at a specific number/% adn it cannot move on.

worse yet, NOTHING is indexed now since I deleted it and it cannot index. Still have the problem that I cannot see conversations either

TIA for the help

My husband is not here to help and I need to get into our emails. On the pop.gmail.com it states "Invalid credential. What does that mean . I have accounts on my Thunderbird account that are also not loading , it states "Failed to connect to server" or " Connection refused". I know nothing about this Thunderbird emails system and I am computer illiterate. Can I get some help please.

How do I report an issue with the way NVDA and Thunderbird interact? When I tab, I can't out of a link, and the focus does not move. If I tab to a link in a message then arrow down, I am where I expect, but then if I go to the top of the message, the tab focus remains where it was when I last hit the tab key. This is not standard behavior, but everyone else I've talked to seems to think it's behaving normally and has no tips for me on how to fix it.

Hello, I use Thunderbird app on my computer. Yesterday I pulled up an email from my comcast.net email on thunderbird from Jan 28th in my inbox. I watched it disappear along with every email before Feb 14th. I could no longer access them on xfinity's website or on the email app I use on my phone. I've been in contact with Xfinity's customer service and they said there was a known glitch of Thunderbird deleting emails from the comcast server and there was nothing they could do to recover them. I've lost over a decade's worth of emails. I had settings with Thunderbird not to delete emails from comcast server and to store emails on my computer but I cannot find them. Is there any way you can recover my emails?? Thank you.

Just spent a couple of frustrating hours on what should be a 2-minute task, and hoping someone can point me the right way. I manage a bunch of mailing lists for a small non-profit. Just got a group of new email addresses. I need to add them to a new mailing list, then after I've verified that they're valid and that the people do in fact want to get these emails, merge them into at least two of the existing mailing lists. I have them in a CSV file. First problem was finding where "create a mailing list" had moved - no longer on File - New in Address Book (why, by the way? That's the logical spot for it.). Then found that there's no way to import a file of addresses into a mailing list - they can only be imported into an address book. Ok, I'll import into a new address book, then create a mailing list, then drag and drop the contacts from the new address book into the new mailing list (which is both what I'd have expected to work, and what a support article I found said). Not what I wanted, because the new mailing list will be under the new address book, which is not where it needs to be, but I'll deal with that later. Nope - doesn't work. I can select any of or all the contacts, I can drag them, but everywhere on the panel has the "not permitted" symbol *except* another address book, which does me no good at all. Ok, try creating a new mailing list where I actually want it to be, then cutting and pasting the names and addresses from another file. Nope, can't find any way to cut and paste 2 fields into a mailing list in edit mode and have the data go where it needs to be, even a single contact, much less a bunch of them. It seems bizarre that something as fundamental as mailing lists would be as difficult to use as it seems, so I'm hoping I've missed something obvious. Currently on 128.7.0, BTW - I usually let TB update whenever it asks. Windows 10 on that box, but also pretty up to date.

Since upgrading to Thunderbird 136.0 I have noticed that none of my task reminders are displaying. Before the update, Thunderbird would display new reminders in a separate window whenever I started the app. I confirmed that reminders are still set for each of my saved tasks.

I have windows 10 with 4 Email accounts on my desktop computer. One is TB using ee.net 3rd party provider, two are TB using Gmail and one using Outlook. The Gmail accounts and Outlook work ok. The remaining account with ee.net has been a problem for weeks now. It will not install. EE.net says NOT their problem because all Emails are received and sent OK on their webmail server. They will not help further. I cannot find what is at fault, TB, ee.net or both.

I can't create an IMAP account even though ee.net says their server handles POP3 and IMAP. After long trial-error, POP3 installed manually but sending/receiving messages has server errors. Incoming: mail.ee.net port 110, no security, password insecure. Outgoing: SMTP.mail.ee.net port 587 ssl/tls Auth2 Messages to it have "server refused" error & messages sent say "outgoing SMTP server failed".

Here's the biggest mystery: At one time I found a "magic combination" where all at once everything started working and all waiting messages suddenly downloaded. However, without changing anything, an hour later it returned to earlier non-working condition. It did that once before when I logged out of the ee.net web site and then logged back in. It then asked me for the password again and when I did that, everything started working but quit a day later.

Re-entering the ee.net password again didn't fix it. So, now I ask, how can a fix work only temporarily??? I've chased this problem for weeks now. Art Towslee towslee1@ee.net

Some customized search criteria work as expected, e.g. Content-Type, Message-ID, In-Reply-To, ...

Some not: Content-Transfer-Encoding, Content-Disposition

Some may appear more than once, e.g. Content-Type.

Searching for contents of such criteria / tags yields no results.

How to customize search for these criteria properly?

Below is a shortened source / example addressing all of these issues:

When I compose a text message in TBird to send, it starts a new line after __ characters. I want it to occupy the entire screen width, and set it to show me a larger font. I recall there is a way, but searching has not turned it up. Would appreciate pointers to both settings.
