I used to just have my Canon TS6350 do my printing. Great. Now Thunderbird seems to have taken over my choice of how I print for a long while and it's driving me nuts. It is a dreadful system. I have searched settings to no avail. Can someone advise a Geri Brit of 82 how to deal with the problem Thank you very much Kind regards Alan Jones

I can't access to my personal Google account from Thunderbird.

Thunderbird configuration is OK. Cookies authorised.

e-mail account connection process goes this way: - I enter name and e-mail address - I confirm standard configuration found in Thunderbird's FAI database. - Google asks me to confirm that I authorise Thunderbird to share mail, contacts and agenda informations (I was asked my Google pwd only the first time I tried the process). - I confirm my consent - Back to Thunderbirds account configuration window, with "authentication error".

Similar failure when I try to only connect to the contact list or to my calendars (which is my initial will), also from a scholar Google account.

No change after update from 149 .0.2 to 150.0

Hello. Impossible to connect to an existing Google account. Neither to the "full" account, nor to the Contact list nor to a Calendar of an existing account. Neither to a "private" account, not to a "workspace".

When trying to connect to a Contact list, after the Oauth window and the authorisation to share data from Google accounts, the app answer "Connexion impossible" (I am a French user).

When trying to connect to Calendars, Google's window asking authorisation to share data comes back after clicking "authorise".

When adding a new email account, the built-in web browser launches and displays the OAuth screen. To verify the security of the destination site, I want to click the green lock icon in the URL bar to check the details, but I can’t click it.

Does a green lock icon mean a secure connection has been established?

Thunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0

I run two browsers on Linux Mint 22.3

Librewolf and Waterfox.

I prefer Waterfox. It is set as default in its own settings

I open preferred application in system settings and choose Waterfox as preferred WEB. Thunderbird is preferred as MAIL I click on an email, waterfox promptly opens my 4 home pages....not the email I return to preferred applications and choose Librewolf instead of waterfox, click on the email again, and it promptly opens the email.

Waterfox has been set as the default browser. I am looking for a way to set Thunderbird to open emails with waterfox......I cannot find such a setting in Thunderbird.

I searched and found this : Make sure to check the settings in both Thunderbird and your operating system to ensure Waterfox is selected as the default for opening links.

Is there a way to do this in Thunderbirds settings?....It does not make sense that there would be, becasue Librewolf opens the email anyway....

Hi! I wonder how Thunderbird for Android works regarding security and privacy? If I use a Gmail account via Thunderbird, will I not miss the security features that Google provide, like warning for malicious/fraudulent emails? How can Thunderbird improve my privacy? I mean, Google will scan my emails when they are coming into or leaving the server anyways, I guess. And they will still let AI be trained on emails resting at the Gmail servers, so will there be any privacy benefits using Thunderbird? Please help me understand, because I have really liked Thunderbird for Windows and used it for many, many years when I had a Windows laptop as my main computer!

Thunderbird is used on a domain network of 100 computers, all connected to a Carddav address book. About 10 computers have stopped syncing their address book. Reconnecting the address book doesn't help. Newly added email addresses don't sync. Everything is fine on the other computers, all running Windows 10.

My email provider has transferred their services to a messaging service and I need to change accounts in Thunderbird from Pop 3 to IMAP. All the solutions I have found so far aren't working for me. Is it possible? This is starting to get pretty urgent as I have to change to the messaging service within the three days.

The import function does not work. I exported a Thunderbird profile in its entirety into a zip file that is only 127 megabytes when extracted. When I go to import the Thunderbird profile, I select the ZIP file, import, and it restarts, and nothing happens.

I have tried the method of going to the profile folder, manually copying the files from the extracted profile, and pasting them into the profile folder and overwriting all of the existing files, which will work for a few seconds- it briefly shows all the emails, and then they disappear. The top of the inbox indicates the correct number of emails, but no emails show up in the inbox, and when I restart Thunderbird, everything disappears.

Hi community,

I want to have the same font and font-size in:

• my HTML message body text
• my signature.html file

so I can send consistent and nice-looking e-mails, like you would expect.

Here are my current settings:

• Settings > General > Language & Fonts > Fonts >
  • Default font: Arial
  • Size: 12
  • Advanced: For both "Latin" and "Other Writing Systems" I have the settings you can see in the attached screenshots.

I heard that these settings are for personal viewing.

• Settings > Composition > HTML Style >
  • Font: Arial
  • Size: Medium

I heard that these settings are for viewing by recipients.

The first line of my signature.html file looks like this: div style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: #222; line-height: 1.0; font-size: 14px;"

There is always a slight font size mismatch of the message text with my signature.

I unsuccesfully tried tweaking the html font size values in px or pt to match the given size in Settings > Composition > HTML Style for Medium or Large.

It seems that the available font size granularity of Medium or Large just does not match corresponding pixel or point values?

I would be extremely grateful if someone can guide me on how to achieve this!

If there is no valid solution for this problem, I'm happy to open/report an issue on this.

Thank you and have a wonderful day

In my INBOX folder I have a number of subfolders that I use to filter my client email into. Lately I can't remember how to create and add anew folder to the INBOX. I used to simply click on either my account name (IMAP)or the INBOX folder (I can't remember which one) then right-click and add new folder.

Also I have noticed that the dialogue window seems to be cutting off two buttons in the lower edge of the window (see image attached).

i can't seem to copy and paste so, here goes: what i see that i send Our Blended Rates: ≤ 100,000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

Now when i send it---it looks like this

≤ to 100,0000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

No longer aligned. Thank you

I had 3 different email accounts operating in outlook originally under a pop3 format. I would like to have all those email show up in the local folder with all the subfolders so I can save the imap emails currently coming in to thunderbird into the local folder and subfolders if I want to keep them. I have managed to download the email account that was the default in outlook through the import function. I have tried the import export tools and the local folders add ons but dont seem to be able to pick up the other email folders in the outlook file. Am I doing something incorrectly or, if I open outlook again could I change the default and then thunderbird would pick up and add the default through the import function.

Suggestions or corrections to my assumptions would be wonderful.

In the last months I have received e-mails that says one thing on the subject line but the content of the e-mail is an old e-mail from before. I can see in the Inbox that the subject and corresponden is related, but when I open the e-mail the address to the sender is different than expected and the content is from another, old, e-mail. If I use the web-interface to the service provider and log on to their server, the e-mail looks OK and I can see the content that I expected to be there. The service provider can't see any issues on their side and I don't have enough knowledge about Thunderbird, or the mailing protocol, to provide additional informtion to them about possible issues. It feels like the issue is on the client side, but what do I know... This has happened 5-6 times in the last 4 months. The service provider, Telia in Sweden, changed their mail server about a year ago. I have used Thunderbird, and the same service provider, for 20+ years.

Using Desktop version 140.10.esr with Windows 11, I am pasting a link to a gifted article from The Atlantic. If I paste the link into a messenger window, it works -- but when I paste it into a newly composted email in Thunderbird, it's blank. What's up?

Just installed a new hard drive and windows 11. Installed Thunderbird, which I have used for years. Began receiving e-mail right away. Have tried to send several e-mails but I get an error message saying mail server responded: relay access denied Please check message recipient and try again. The e-mail for the recipient is correct and I have tried to send to others with the same result.

Do not know if it is a windows error, an smtp error or a Thunderbird error. My web host gave me the proper settings for incoming and out going mail. They are the same as I had for windows 10 which worked forever.

Can you help? Thanking you in advance.

Hello,

I was adjusting the width of the calendar list, and every time I clicked on the adjuster icon (that line and arrow that you slide to grow or reduce area), the line moved to the right automatically, until the line went to the far right side and all you see is the sidebar. I can't slide it back.

I have quit Thunderbird and re-launched, and also restarted the Mac. No change.

Thanks for your assistance.
