Thunderbird has been working well for years, but now when I click on the icon it simply drops to the bottom taskbar and refuses to open. I can do nothing with it from there - refuses to do anything but close. I've run antivirus and cleaned up the computer, but no joy with Thunderbird. Thanks for any suggestions.

Android on Galaxy S24 Ultra. Recently, swipe left or right has a tendency to engage a "pull down" causing the swipe action to reset / cancel because the app thinks I'm pulling down when I'm not.

I have been using Thunderbird for over a year without this issue. It just started happening today.

I am unable to modify the font color that I see in a email. However, it shows for others. And it copy/pastes - I can change a sentence to blue, it will appear to me black, I can send it to another and they see blue; copied to me I still see black. I can copy the text and put it into word, alter it, put it back in Tbird and it all seems black to me all along, but when I send to another, they see blue. (I should maybe put it in a text editor to inspect code there???)

But I think a clue is - apologies if this is a misdirect, but just before noticing all this, it happened that when I used Constant Contact to send me a test email, the background color of that newsletter is clear -- no color. MORE, when I lookup old emails that had the same background color, while once they were colored, they now appear all clear to me. More, when I go to the gmail server, those test emails look fine there. Others receiving the tests fo not have the color problem. Oh, and the "real" newsletter also still has the color problem, when sent to me and viewed in Tbird.

SO. It is a my-Tbird problem.

I have tried to follow old threads, looking for old settings regarding color and overriding; cannot do it.

I am using Tbird 140.0.2

Can anyone please help me? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Also, tried the window-closing order-of-operations thing (for font color change) but it's really not that at all....

Also, following others' threads, I got into a colors setting and tried resetting that to default but the problem persists.

I'm trying to get Thunderbird working on Windows.

I can't read thin faint Windows-style font rendering. I can set * {font-weight: bolder !important;} in userChrome.css, but since Thunderbird relies on boldness to distinguish unread and read messages, I'd need to find another way to distinguish these.

I also use MacType, but it doesn't seem to affect Thunderbird or Firefox.

As far as I can see, either 1. if the css can distinguish unread and read messages, maybe I could set extrabold and semibold, or I could set different colors. Or 2. I could set a bolder font with good-enough script support.

Hello. When navigating YouTube on the main page, if you simply Hover the mouse over "Previous page (Alt+Left)", then SOMETIMES strange music or some strange video plays. Important: there is no video of this unknown video, just the sound plays. Other browser tabs are closed, only the YouTube tab is open. I use Firefox ESR, since I have Windows 7, I use the latest version of Firefox ESR. The extensions that are installed are Ublock origin and uvpn. I don't know if it could have been infected by an unknown virus? I scanned with ESET, installed Comodo, but the problem was not solved. I would really like you to sort this out. Please don't ignore me. I want to understand what's going on. I am open to new questions on this topic that will help resolve this situation.

Specifically Youtube videos and nothing else either don't load at all, load only the first 10 seconds and then buffer, or load partially after ~20 minutes. No error message. Only in Firefox.

I tried: Reinstalling Firefox Switching profiles Disabling all extensions Running in safe mode Clearing cache and cookies

Context: Windows 11 23H2, Thunderbird Portable (102.15.1, stubbornly declining updates until the Supernova IU starts looking tolerable), Avast Antivirus. Multiple email accounts on various servers, all POP3.

For the last several months (not sure when it started, but I first took a screenshot in October 2024, so perhaps that was the first time), after each time I reboot my PC, the first time I send an email using one particular account will trigger a complaint about a bad certificate, which is probably caused by Avast getting in the middle of the process. Clicking "View..." opens a tab with certificate information. I'm attaching screenshots.

I assume my other accounts also had a similar complaint when they were first used, but it has been a long time since I added a new account and they are all quiet now. But on this account, I get it the first time I send mail (normally a reply to someone else - this is not my default account for new messages) after each reboot. When I click "Confirm Security Exception" with the "Permanently store this exception" checkbox checked, the next thing I get is "Send Message Error" (see the third screenshot), then I click OK, and then I can hit "Send" again and the message is sent with no complaints. Then I can also send future messages with no complaints until the next time I reboot. (I don't reboot often - normally just when Windows needs to do an update.) This is the only account on Dreamhost (others are InMotion or Google), but other than that, there is nothing special about it, as far as I know. Why is it forgetting my "permanent" exception? Is there a setting somewhere that I should look for?

I just now tried following the instructions on this page: https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/troubleshoot-invalid-antivirus-email-certificate But it says, "This certificate is already installed as a certificate authority." Perhaps that is because I have already gone through the process for this reboot cycle, but if TB needs a new Avast certificate or exception each time I reboot (due to something changing in Avast, perhaps), I'd think the first email I send through any server would ask for the exception, but it's never any other account - just this one Dreamhost one. Fortunately it's just an inconvenience, not a showstopping problem, but it would be nice to solve it eventually.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a privacy-focused email setup and ran into an issue with Thunderbird.

Here's the situation: I use a catch-all email address for my domain, so anything sent to *@mydomain.com gets forwarded to my real inbox at secret@mydomain.com. This allows me to use unique aliases like alias1@mydomain.com, alias2@mydomain.com, and so on, without revealing my actual email address.

That part works well.

The problem comes when I reply to messages. Thunderbird automatically sets the sender as secret@mydomain.com, even if the original message was sent to an alias. That defeats the purpose, since it exposes my real address to the recipient.

Thunderbird does let you set up additional identities, but maintaining one for every alias quickly becomes impractical if you use a lot of them.

I tried a workaround where my mail server adds a custom header like "X-Alias: alias1@mydomain.com" to incoming messages. The idea is that when I send a reply, the server could read that header and rewrite the From address accordingly, keeping the alias intact and hiding my real address.

Unfortunately, I found that Thunderbird strips out custom headers like X-Alias when sending emails, which breaks this solution.

So I have two main questions:

1. Is there any way to configure Thunderbird so it preserves specific custom headers (like X-Alias) when sending messages?

2. Alternatively, is there a better approach to replying from the alias address automatically, without exposing my real one, and without having to manually create identities for each alias?

I'd really appreciate any tips, suggestions, or insights. Thanks!

Recently, Thunderbird is saving my sent messages to "Sent Messages" which is a folder that exists on my remote server. Up until this time, they were going to a folder called "Sent" which is where I want the messages to go.

I navigated to Account Settings and clicked on Copies & Folders and found the option for placing a copy in the "Sent" folder on my server. So, I chose that option, but messages are still being saved to "Sent Messages."

I have the latest version of Thunderbird that I am using on a Windows 11 laptop. I'm not sure what else I can tell you that will help.
