Thunderbird Community Forum

in all the years i've used thunderbird (am now on 64 bit version 144.0.1 on windows 11 25h2) the notification counter has never worked correctly

i can be sent an email & thunderbird notifies me there's 1 new email / unread message on the taskbar + tray icon

if i'm busy & ignore it / leave it thunderbird keeps on checking & incrementing that counter

when i actually download the new emails, there is still only 1 & not the number thunderbird has counted too

crazy!

If you look at the attached screen shot, you should see that the replies in the thread are not entirely listed by date/time. The last reply should be the 3rd in the list. I would like to understand why this is and how to correct it.

I have been using Thunderbird for months on my new computer. Last night when I brought it up, a new screen said "Unable to Connect" followed by good information like check the network connection, firewall, etc., make sure Thunderbird is permitted to access the web. Plus, the PC bubble communicated "Authentication failure when trying to connect to server imap.comcast.net".

I have checked everything (looked around) and all seems fine. However, I am a "senior" and maybe I missed some communication along the way. I am getting emails on my iPhone and on the Xfinity website, but Thunderbird is not connecting to the server now. Do I need to change any settings?

Witam, prawdopodobnie skutkiem jakiejś aktualizacji programu, niektóre nazwy folderów poczty thunderbird nie wyświetlają się w języku polskim. Nie umiem sobie z tym poradzić. Proszę o pomoc. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam. Wojtek

I quite often get this message, though it tends not to be a problem later "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox"

One of the solutions seems to be Compact a File. How do I do this?

Hi,

I try to subscribe to online calendar (.ics format), for example the calendar of the school of my child: webcal://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/e9d7c3e1627c47dbbb494c04dd439cb6@montessoricollege.nl/90ee10a5ac224fa2af7e51cd8be5a46215938853368348660489/calendar.ics

But no matter what I try Thunderbird always returns there's no calendar in that particular location. When I try to subscribe to the same calendar in Google (online) it works fine and I can see all content.

This is just an example. This problem occurs with virtually all calendars I try to add in Thunderbird.

Has anyone a solution for this problem? Thanks

I want to continue using Thunderbird for my emails receiver. I have it with Comcast (Xfinity), now they have changed things where I get emails thru Yahoo.com. How do I change over to Yahoo using Thunderbird software.

When I export my private key and add more user IDs to it, GPG adds extra feature flags that apparently aren't supported in Thunderbird. I've tried following the directions here, but GPG doesn't seem to do anything different with the --rfc4880 flag, and so importing the key back into Thunderbird still gets the "unsupported features" warning.

Even when creating a key in Sequoia-PGP, it seems to add an extra notation? And that also seems to make Thunderbird say it's an extra unsupported feature.

Am I doing something wrong?

non riesco piu'ad accedere a Thunderbird prima attraverso il browser mi chiedeva l'identificativo e passoword di yahoo.it ora invece con la richiesta della password principale non riesco a fare piu'nulla e non si accede

Hello,

We ARE on version 145.

I spend an ENTIRE DAY following this information, especially that section regarding to "alternative method for manual transfer between Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers"

[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-com...]

IT DOES NOT WORK! I may not be doing something (I could not find it), but in this consideration, I'm wondering WHY it's left there? Does it work for 144. Can I FIND 144?

Thanks, Lizzie's mum

An alternative method for manual transfer between Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers

This section assumes you have a default Windows installation and will work on computers upgraded to Windows 10 from previous Windows versions.

   Locate the master profile folder on the source computer as above.
   Locate the master profile folder on the destination computer as above.
   Note out of interest that your username (indicated by ~ below) on the two computers might be different due to legacy issues, but it will make no difference with a manual transfer as below.
   Close Thunderbird in both computers.
   On the source computer, copy the Thunderbird folders in both Windows(C:)/Users/~/AppData/Roaming and Windows(C:)/Users/~/AppData/Local to your transfer media, in separate folders so you do not overwrite them.
   On the destination computer, remove (or rename if you need a data backup or to preserve an old profile) any Thunderbird folders in the destination folders Windows(C:)/Users/~/AppData/Roaming and Windows(C:)/Users/~/AppData/Local directories.
   Copy from your transfer media the correct Thunderbird folders into the two folders above to replace the ones you have removed or renamed.
   Restart Thunderbird on the destination computer and test it, noting that your inbox tab should be identical to source, but that other tabs may have opened with Thunderbird messages.

I wish to use Thunderbird email on my Android tablet and after installing the app on the android I followed the instructions on my desktop version. eg Settings, QR code etc and downloaded my accounts. However none of my Local or Storage folders came across? Is there other instructions I am missing or do I need to start from the beginning on the Android version of Thunderbird? any suggestions would be helpful. My intention is to do away with my out of date PC and use an upmarket Android tablet.

I have 4 accounts in Thunderbird, each with an Inbox. Thunderbird shows the blue 'inbox' icon next to these accounts in their respective account folders, but only two of them show up in the "Unified Folders" inbox. I don't see any way to add the other two inboxes to the Unified Folders inbox.

It's possible I accidentally removed the two missing inboxes, but I am not sure how I could have done that. Is it possible to add them back in?

It appears that any ESR version will auto upgrade to the Release version right after you close the program and shut your machine down. When you go back online, surprise!, you now have 144.0.1 installed with HALF your folders missing.

My TBird inbox says I have an unread message count of 1. This also shows in the W11 task bar with a badge of 1.

When I go to the Inbox and filter on unread emails, it says there are none. (See attached.)

How can I find the unread email, or make the badge go away? Or maybe, does the badge have another meaning?

I restarted TBird and that didn't clear the badge.

My previous Thunderbird program reported the number of E-Mails stored in each of my Local Folders. New installation on my latest Win 11 computer does not display that number following the Folder name. Is there a way of getting that feature back on display on the left side of the general info window? Usually showing on the left of monitor screen.
