Hi, I used a text sig for ages in Thunderbird and it worked ok. I now have one with some images that I have saved as a sig file that I made in Thunderbird and when I choose to use it, then it works fine. problem is whenever I close TB and re-open it then its gone back to using the old text sig and I have to set it up each time to use the new sig file?

Is there anyway I can fix this, its driving me crazy....

Many thanks

I believe I have noticed a change in the operation of Calendar Event notifications, following recent updates to Thunderbird, in the past week or more. I am currently on release 137.0.2 (64-bit) running on a Linux Desktop. This computer gets shut down every night, and rebooted the following morning. When a calendar reminder has been snoozed, and the snooze time expires when the computer is not running, and Thunderbird is not running, those calendar reminders used to show up the next time Thunderbird was started after the computer was rebooted, even if the calendar event time had already passed. In the last week or so, following recent updates, I believe this is no longer happening.

Also, I believe that calendar events that have reminders set, that have not been snoozed, whose reminder time happens when the computer is shut down, are also not being shown reminders the next time the computer is started, if the reminder time happened when Thunderbird was not running. This is also a change from the way it used to work. For example, if an event is marked as starting at 10:00 AM, with a reminder set for 2 hours before (which would be 8 AM), and the computer is booted and Thunderbird is started at 8:30 AM, that reminder no longer happens. That is a change from the way it used to work. A few weeks ago, in that scenario, the reminder would have been shown the next time Thunderbird started up.

Dear Team After Updating from 102.15.1 (32Bit) to 115.28.0 (32Bit) I can not connect to the provider "pop.hispeed.ch" anymore. Ping pop.hispeed.ch (on CMD) shows normal raction of beeing reachable with a "reply from xxxx.". I am on Windows 7 SP1. I have checked several times all setting POP and SMTP, switched off Firewall, uninstalled virus scanner, and and and many more (all knowledge found on internet..). Pressing the "Get Message" button in the upper menue bar shows no raction when pressed. The icon "Get Message" on the left side of the button "+ New Message" results in a none moving blue status bar at the right bottom of the window. After a while with the message "timed out.. ".In the settings "Config Editor.." the values of "mailnews.tcptimeout" are set to "300", and "true". I am using TB since donkey years with many many eMails. Are the lost? Thank you for support and help, Andy

Have used Mozilla for about 30 years without too much trouble. However, I have been unable to receive emails since Monday and wonder what problem is. It worked fine Sunday evening Did send a test to my freenetname address which arrived so not sure whether problem is only outwards mail.

my dell desktop pc has been updated ms w10 seems to have put in a new system i have lost all data i have installed firefox on my laptop and would like to recover all my firefox and thunderbird emails data

Thunderbird constantly asks me to enter my password, then informs me that the password is incorrect. I can't enter a new password or log in again with the old one. This happens after starting the program (with the same, correct password). For example, an hour after starting it, I want to send @ and then these messages appear. In the meantime, the mail works properly. This happens on different laptops but on the same email account. Does anyone know what's going on and what could be the reason?

Attachment displays size unknown. I am unable to save, download or open. Most of the online fixes suggest searching for mime under config editor. This does not seem to exist in this version. Using windows 11, TB 137.0.2

I had to do a clean install of my Mac. Recovered my Thunderbird settings from Time Machine, but for some reason the mail view now looks like this. How can I get the message list looking like it did, without such thick rows?

I've finished setting up the S/MIME encryption in Thunderbird, and imported all the certificates needed. When people with the certificates emailed me, I could receive and read all the emails. However, when I replied to the same people, I got the error message saying 'End-to-end encryption requires resolving cerficiate issues'. My colleagues imported the same certificates without any issues. Do you have any suggestions for me to solve the issue? Thank you very much!

こんにちは。 現在、以下の問題で困っております。

自身のパソコンではPOP3でメールにログインすることができません。 複数のアドレスを試しましたが、どれもログインできずにエラーメッセージが表示されます。 どのアドレスでも他のパソコンではポート番号や設定を変更せずに正常にログインできる状況です。

Thunderbirdを一度アンインストールし、再インストールを試みましたが、改善されませんでした。 また、メールアドレスとパスワードに誤りはないことを確認済みです。

IMAPではメールの受信は可能ですが、メッセージを送信することができない状態です。 大変お手数をおかけいたしますが、これらの問題の原因や解決方法についてご教示いただけますでしょうか。

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Hi all,

I have to use a Microsoft365 account for work, and I was lucky enough to obtain the possibility of connecting to it via imap.

Thunderbird filters work for all my other imap accounts, but not for the M365. I'm wondering if others are experiencing and and if there is a solution/workaround.

Thanks!

The Automatic Account Configuration in release 138.0 (64-bit) is not working for me on my WIN11 laptop. When I try to add my Comcast Email account to Thunderbird it finds the information for Comcast in the Thunderbird ISP Database. But when I continue by selection "done" the Credentials Window opens but fails to connect with this message:

Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

This process works perfectly on my 2 other PCs running Win10 with Thunderbird release 128.10.0ers I would really appreciate and ideas or steps to correct this issue. Thank you

As per this support article (under "Archiving messages"), Thunderbird by default archives to Gmail's "All Mail" folder to match Gmail's behavior. This makes sense.

In the same article, it's recommended to unsubscribe from the "All Mail" folder for Gmail accounts. This also makes sense. However, after doing so, performing the Archive action on an email in Thunderbird causes it to resubscribe to All Mail.

More generally, unsubscribing from the target of "Other" in the "message archives" setting for the account will cause the setting to be unspecified (i.e. point to "Choose Folder"), after which the Archive action seems to use the last-specified target, re-subscribing to it if currently unsubscribed.

1. Is this the desired/expected behavior of the message archives settings? 2. For users who do wish to retain the habit of "Gmail archiving" (to keep the Inbox clean without managing specific labels/folders to move each message to), does the "unsubscribe from 'All Mail'" recommendation imply a recommendation to specify a new Thunderbird folder (= Gmail label) for this, e.g. the usual ' "Archives" Folder in:' option?

Hi, I am getting a message asking for password, when I enter password which is correct I get the message

Login to server imappro.zoho.com with username admin@begamotorcycles.com.au failed.

I need step by step setting up Protonmail to Thunderbird. I had this set up before but it stopped working. I know my emails and their corresponding passwords are good because I have access on the web. I am getting "unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" When I try to put my newest address in. Not only do I know that my passwords for my emails are correct, but I also have a copy of the screenshot of the configurations from when I set it up before: Imap, hostname, port, username, password security. I use this to double check when I go into the Manual configuration account setup. The other error I get is "login to server 127.0.0.1 with username Grammy14@proton.me failed." This email had been working just fine until April 19. I love Thunderbird's set up when it works, and I donate regularly. I have been working on this for a week now. It would be great to get live help. I would gladly pay for the help. It would be nice have that option.

There is a bug in the Thunderbird Newsreader which affects composing replies to messages.

After clicking the Followup button and attempting to reply to a newsgroups message in the middle of quoted text if you click on enter to create a new line in the middle of the quoted text, type the first words of the reply and then delete a miss-typed character Thunderbird will add a new line to the bottom of the quoted text above your signature. If you delete more characters it will add more new lines to the bottom and then finally if you delete the new line you entered it will move the typing prompt to the bottom of the quoted text after the extra new lines it previously added.

This bug is present in 138.0 (64-bit) and in the previous version and the version before that and probably earlier versions too. The big did not exist in version 115.8.1.
