Hi everyone I use Thunderbird Portable on an external SSD. I switch between a Windows 10 and a Windows 11 computer. On the Win11, I am experiencing some issues. When I run TB, sometimes the app "loses memory" and it opens as the first time, although the local folders seemingly should have all the emails (some folders have appropriate date and time, and the total size of the folder is OK). But I have no possibility to recover these emails. I tried to import them, but there always is some problem. I tried to copy all the folders in a previous (working) backup copy of TB, but still doesn't work.... how can I fix this?

On July 2nd, I began receiving error messages in emails that connect with Healthcare apps that I need to check settings in my browser for Javascript & turn it back on.

I read in solutions that it's automatic, but there must be a way to activate it again. I even restarted my phone hoping that would solve it.

I have autoconfig.js set up to run my own js file, see below. The intention is to change the keyboard shortcuts (shame that it's so difficult😃). It worked until a few weeks ago. Now it only partly works. C+J is fine. The other two succeed in deleting the existing command, and the shortcut key does nothing. Any ideas please?

// C+J = open downloads var element = document.getElementById('key_openDownloads'); if (element) {

 element.setAttribute('key', 'j');
 element.setAttribute('modifiers', 'accel');

}

// C+D = Duplicate tab var element = document.getElementById('addBookmarkAsKb'); if (element) {

 element.removeAttribute('command');
 element.setAttribute('oncommand', "duplicateTabIn(gBrowser.selectedTab, 'tab')");

}

// CS+N = move tab to new window var element = document.getElementById('key_undoCloseWindow'); if (element) {

 element.removeAttribute('command');
 element.setAttribute('oncommand', 'gBrowser.replaceTabsWithWindow(gBrowser.selectedTab)');

}

I am prompted to FINISH SETUP. When I click on the button a pop up asking me to FINISH SETTING UP FIREFOX by completing 5 steps. All are checked. Nothing happens nor is there a button to execute the operation. How do I complete the SETUP?

Hello Following a recent thundebird update, the body of certain emails contains a list of links to images rather than the images themselves that appeared before. The screen looks crowded, confusing and unattractive. How can I revert to the old, much more attractive appearance ? I have searched but can find no help. Regards

I have a lot of folders in my account and most have sub folders. When I search the folders, it shows all the sub folders making selection a long task. Is it possible to hide these sub folders as you can in GMail for android and TB for PCs.

I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

The instruction FireFox provided state that I should go to the chrome menu, i.e., the three dots. From there, FireFox instructed me to go to the passwords and autofill option, and that once I select the passwords and autofill option a link to download the passwords will appear. No link to download the passwords appeared. How do I move my passwords from chrome to FireFox?

There is a webside called Geo FS, it's flight simulator. And i really want to set side buttons on my mouse for throttle. But i cannot do it. The browser just changing web pages all the time. Is there any way to change it? If no, then devs please add a way to customise those buttons to add no action to them in the browser. Thanks.

Regarding: Thunderbird Version 128.11.1esr 　 Please tell me how to make folder pane wider than the system default width of the vertical layout. The reason of this question is that I cannot see full of folder names under the system default width.

When typing an email I would like to have it set so that at the start of each new sentence or paragraph it starts with a capital letter. Is there somewhere in Settings to allow me to achieve this?

I have a rule that moves email messages from backups to a 'Backup' folder. I also have another rule that moves emails address to myself to 'My Mail'.

When I start TB 128.11.1esr in the morning my 'Backup' and 'My Mail' folders show new email counts. When I click on 'My Mail' the number on it decreases and 'Backup' increases. This happens with other rules on other folders.

So, my question is this behavior caused my 'Message Filters' being triggered when I click a folder or potentially a latent refresh of the folders new email counts.

Thanks
