I use Thunderbird as main email client on PC, I also access via iPAD email

On iPAD if I get a Calendar invite (eg Teams) I can scroll to bottom of the invite, and there is an option to add ICS file to Calendar. I click on it and it pushes the invite to Google Calendar, and it inserts the correct appointment.

However on my main device (W11 PC) Thunderbird does not show any ICS file. There is a banner that say "This message contains event information. Enable a Calendar to Handle it" Can it be configured to use Google Calendar as the linked Calendar ? If so, could someone explain to me how to do this.

2~3日前にも同じ状態にになったのですが、ヘルプをいろいろ調べているうちに正常に表示されるようになりました、ヘルプを調べているうちにトラブルシューティングを押していたのかもしれません。…が、今日ももんだいなくしようしていましたが、一旦停止してい、次に作業を再開すると　 またメールフォルダーが消えてしまってました。今回はトラブルシューティングもしてみましたが、全くどうにもならないのですが、 何とかメールフォルダーを表示するほうほうがないでしょうか？…私は視力が非常に悪く視界もごくわずかしかないので、PCの画面も読むのに時間がかかり。返事にも思うように打ちづらくいろいろと教えていただくのに手間をおかけしますが何卒宜しくお願い致します。

Hello!

I just observed a new issue with S/MIME. When trying to send an encrypted mail to somebody new, I get an error “End-to-end encryption requires resolving certificate issues with somebody@example.com”.

The message is not very helpful, and doesn’t propose any solution. So a web search gave me this article: Prerequisite for sending an encrypted email message. It states:

> If Thunderbird considers the email's signature and the sender's certificate valid, it will automatically be imported and available when you attempt to encrypt an email to that correspondent using the S/MIME technology.

When I open the sender’s mail, the signature is confirmed as valid by Thunderbird.

Ignoring the warning message and trying to send the encrypted mail results in the following error in the log: `mailnews.send: NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIMsgComposeSecure.beginCryptoEncapsulation]`

So, I verified in my list of certificates for people, and that new person didn’t figure in the list. Other people did, the last one from 6 June.

Is it possible there’s a bug causing TB to not import the certificate when I open the mail? What would a workaround be? Is there a way to import a sender’s certificate manually from their signed mail?

Since upgrading to 140.0esr on Thunderbird, client freezes (Windows 11 indicates as "Thunderbird is not responding") for anything from a couple of seconds up to a minute or two whenever downloading emails in the background. This is very annoying, especially when trying to write a new message (or even while commenting here in the Ideas panel). My main account is on a Microsoft Exchange service, so I need to use the OWL add-in but the delays also seem to occur when accessing gmail. The other "feature" which seems to have changed is inbox defaulting to top then running through to end when sorted with most recent at bottom. I have now reversed to have most recent on top, which seems to have resolved, but this was also annoying. Attempted to resolve by clearing 1 GB from cache and archiving about 15K conversations - but interruptions not significantly improved. Until a few days ago Thunderbird seemed to run without any problems. Any suggestions?

Mozilla previously released Thunderbird on Flathub. However, the version of Thunderbird available on Flathub does not support Arm64. As a result, many users rely on the built-in repositories of their Linux distributions to install Thunderbird. Unfortunately, the Thunderbird versions provided by many of these repositories are outdated. Using outdated versions poses security risks and does not meet modern security standards. I believe Thunderbird should provide an Arm64 build on Flathub so that users can more easily access the latest version of Thunderbird.

I have just installed Thunderbird 139.0.2 and I am no longer getting event reminders. How can I restore the capability to have the event reminders displayed?

Fixed this event reminder problem: checking the settings box to "Show missed reminders for writable calendars" enabled Thunderbird 139.0.2 to open the reminder box to show the event before it is going to happen, as well as showing the event after it was going to happen. Never had to explicitly do this with previous versions of Thunderbird in the 20+ years I have been using the Thunderbird calendar.

Ok people who actually write this program. It is possible that you are not guilty of this, but I am seriously suspicious. Your recent auto update automatically either ERASED my email messages and/or automatically changed the storage folder, or just changed the folder.

And :I cannot remember where I was putting them before to try and recover anything. Somewhere on my terabyte D drive because my C drive was full.

Any ideas on how to my messages back?

Your latest request for donations has evidently come with a forced upgrade which I did not authorise. I have been happily using an older version of TB because it supports my add-ons and themes. Now because of your uninvited intrusion they no longer work. Furthermore it seems that I can no longer download an older version that supports my requirements. NOT HAPPY!

have this issue since yesterday. can not send or receive emails. i verified the incoming and outgoing servers but it is like thunderbird is not connected to the internet. i checked the working offline is not selected and still have same issues. not sure how to further trouble shoot this. the computer i am using has internet and no issues reaching any browser.

Hello,

I have saved thousands of emails over the time in several local folders. Near 8Gb of emails with their attached documents. The local folder is in a Synology NAS in my local network.

I was trying to retrieve some of the emails saved in that local folders and found that I couldn't read any of the saved emails. I could see the list of the emails in all the folders but when clicked in one of the emails of the list, nothing was showed.

By saving all the files to the computer, I can read again all the emails. Never happened that it was a problem to read from the NAS. I could see a status bar in the bottom of the window showing the progress in the loading and after a short while, the email and the attached files were shown and loaded.

My local network seems to work ok and also the Synology.

So, my question is, has anything changed that blocks the reading of emails from the local network? Any idea on how to have the emails stored in the NAS?

Thanks

You are 'sorting' my email and I am missing important items. Please remove this sort option from gailw.DRShop@gmail.com and let me decide what is of primary importance and what should remain in date order in my inbox.

Thank you. Gail Warnaar Double Reed Shop

I can't quickly find a way into my Thunderbird emails since they stopped putting an email icon on the opening pages. Why did they do that and how do I get into my email quick enough to verify my identity in everything else?
