Thunderbird Community Forum

I'm running Thunderbird 128.11esr in Kinux Manjaro (all up to date) and since I updated to 126 the drag-and-drop feature for adding attachments or pictures has stopped working:

It acts as if the attachment is there, but the file icon is greyed and with a ?, the file size is 0 bytes, and if trying to send or save as a draft, I get the message: "Please check that you have access to the file".

I installed this version through Flatpak, since I had problems with the version from the official repository.

Any help much welcome!

Hello, how can I add a full name for an additional caldav calendar? When I create a meeting in my work calendar, I see my full name (1.jpg). But if I create a meeting in caldav calendar, then the organizer only has an email in organizer field. (2.jpg)

Im running Thunderbird and can no longer log into my Outlook.com email. I have the OAuth2 server protocol enabled and its been working fine for ages, but over the last week or so has increasingly failed to login. It finds the server but hangs on login, finally after a minute or so returning "Authentication failure while connecting to server outlook.office365.com". I have not made any changes to the settings. Logging into Outlook via my web browser works fine. And here's the weird thing- enabling my VPN to change my IP to another nearby OR disconnecting from my wifi and instead hot-spotting from my 4G mobile phone, which also changes the IP- the login works fine again. Seems Microsoft have for some reason blocked my Thunderbird login at my home IP from their server end- a Real pain in the ass. I cannot find any info what to do online- how to reconfigure Thunderbird or contact Microsoft. Help!

in using Thunderbird - 1 - I have selected "share" from the Google news feed on my Pixel 8a - 2 - Prompt Sends to my Thunderbird e-mail account jhdavis@ptd.net - 3 - the article would show up in my inbox - where I could then read/print -

     it would show up as coming from 570-xxx-xxxx@mms.net 

4 - now - for whatever reason - the article is not being forwarded and does not show up

     in my inbox -  

Feature disappeared ?? Note: - just got a new Pixel 8a - are there settings that need to be "fixed" - or reset ?? In the past I was able to "share" an article from Google News back to my e-mail - and all of a sudden - that feature has disappeared

I have had an ongoing problem with Thunderbird being unable to log into the various mail servers that I use. I've tried repeatedly to solve this problem and have been able to cure it in the past by clearing the cache, but it recurs over and over again. I cannot keep wasting my time like this. I'm an independent contractor and I need to be able to use my e-mail client consistently. I've got work to do! This morning, it's suddenly decided that it cannot log into any of the three services that I use.

Is there a lasting solution to this problem? If not, please tell me and I'll move on peacefully, but please don't keep me chasing my tail for something that cannot be fixed.

I was previously able to set up an out of office reply using a message filter that replied with my template. I am attempting to get everything set up for my upcoming vacation and the "Reply with Template" option is gone from the available message filter options. How do I set up my out of office reply without that option?

Using Thunderbird 139.0.2

Ich kann keine Mails löschen seit dem letzten Update. Versuchte den Papierkorb löschen. Es heißt: Es steht nicht genügend Speicherplatz zur Verfügung, um neue Nachrichten herunterzuladen. Löschen Sie alte E-Mails, leeren Sie den Papierkorb sowie komprimieren Sie Ordner und versuchen Sie es anschließend erneut.

After a power outage I restarted the computer and brought up Mozilla Thunderbird the email template I use and for my emails from GMail. All eamils with content from outside such as Amazon, Ebay, and other sites I use I cannot get the content to load up. I went into settings under "privacy" and clicked on allow all remote content and nothing happened. The "Option" tab on those emails is not anywhere to be seen that will allow me to click on it and from a drop down menu allow that content to be seen either.

How do I get back to content on those emails instead of the plain text that shows nothing of any content?

I just tried to change my local folders location. I first copied everything from the current location to the new location and then changed the location in the local folders settings. When I restarted, all of the folders appeared but all of the saved emails were gone. When I tried to reset the location to the original one I received the following message.

A subdirectory of the directory specified in the Local Directory setting is already used by the "jde@ehrenkrook.com" account. Please use a different directory (also attached)

How can I get all of the saved emails in the local directory to move as well?

Only in ~last two months *some* special characters and jpg images are being lost when email passed from att/Yahoo to TB. They are all present in Yahoo. Two friends using TB or Betterbird are both receiving these emails intact. My TB is set for auto update and I'm now at 128.11.1 est and there was a recent update. Problem never experienced before. What setting change could cause this? How to fix? In attached screenshot, opening quote s/b a large quote special character and image of book s/b in empty box. Thanks, Lynne

I changed my password for my retiree account with Rutgers University in NJ (which is a Gmail product) and now Thunderbird won't send or receive email. I get a pop-up email from Google asking if I want to allow them to access my Thunderbird account. I keep saying "allow" but it still won't work.

Thunderbird 138/139, Windows 11 Pro 23H2. While composing a message, after a few lines the app freezes. Both the compose window and the main TB window freeze. Only opening the Windows Task manager allows me to close them. This did not happen with earlier versions.

If I save the message every few seconds while composing I can get most of the message back and continue after restarting TB. This behavior is the same in both the normal and troubleshooting TB modes. I can't even find a crash log to send to Mozilla.

Where shall I look next?

Thank you!

The first comment describes what is happening. We would very much appreciate your being able to correct this. We have lost much valuable information due to this....we have not been accustomed to something of this sort happening. I have now changed my schedule to go to Trash first and review all the subjects, then go to my inbox. To me, this is highly unnecessary.

Hello,

i have multiple Thunderbird profiles which i start using seperate Shortcuts (.desktop files) and arguments: thunderbird -P 'profile-1' %u thunderbird -P 'profile-2' %u

But these seperate Profiles always get grouped together in the Taskbar. How can i avoid this? For FF there is some about:config setting (taskbar.grouping.useprofile)
