Thunderbird messages in my Inbox display the full link to websites instead of just a clickable link. These links often take 6 to 8 lines in a message, which, for example, makes reading the New York Times a nightmare. What setting will hide the content of a link?

This is an example of what is displayed. I've added blank lines between links in order to separate them.

When composing a message, as soon as I hit the space bar a blue border appears around the message pane and instead of inserting a space the cursor jumps to the end of the message. When I try to go back to insert the space where I want it the curser jumps to the end again. So basically I can't insert any spaces in the message. This has only just started happening, been using TBird without any problems for a long time. Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks Geoff

Usunelam konto w Thunderbirdzie i dodałam je ponownie, ale nie weszly z powrotem stare wiadomosci od roku 2021 do marca 2025. Przychodza tylko najnowsze wiadomosci. Poprzez strone www gmail działa normalnie, tylko w Thunderbirdzie mam ten problem.

My thunderbird taskbar icon just started to display arabic numberals instead of roman numerals for the count of unread mail. It's weird because it doesn't always display the arabic when hovering over the taskbar, but it has done it more often than not the past few days.

Win 11 pro and latest TB version. I have to reset one of the passwords repeatedly while doing emails. After resetting, I check saved passwords & they are there; but somehow one gets deleted & again reset. I have changed profiles but problem continues. One email address on the computer and my computer has 3 addresses w/o problems.

Hello, I did just make a clean reinstallation of Thunderbird and while going through the setting I have notices that at Passwords / Save Passwords / `Show Passwords` my Account Passwords can be access with less effort.

My question now is, why is this even a feature?

In my mind, this should be by default off. Or at least informed me at the first account setup that my passwords are visible in the Settings, and if I want to set up a Master Password as well.

Is there an option to have the Button `Show Password` disable? Or if a Master Password have to be, then set it for only access `Show Password` but not for the login in to Thunderbird.

I'd be happy with an answer, but I offer a possible solution. Can someone tell me whether it will work?

When more than one copy of an iMap account exists, there is a problem with Junk mail learning. Namely, the learning only occurs on the computer where the user declares mail to be Junk, not on other copies of the same iMap account. It has been suggested that Training.dat be copied from one account to another, but that wipes out any training that has occurred on the copies that receive the new Training.dat file. A merge is needed.

So... Does THIS work? Go to the Junk folder and select all mail in it. Mark all the mail as Junk (seemingly redundantly). Unless Thunderbird makes a special case of NOT learning from marking mail as Junk when it already is, this ought to work, right?

Hi,

I put some messages into folders yesterday and then created another folder and dragged the first folder into it to become a subfolder.

When I did this, I saw the new folder but it couldn’t be expanded to show the subfolders.

All other mail clients showed the correct hierarchy except Thunderbird.

Why is this happening?

Secondly, I post comments on the thunderbird blog regularly but they never show up. Where are they disappearing to? Are you receiving them?

Something changed such that copies were no longer sent to my sent file under Inbox. My email is run through web.com and they said it was not their issue and then the next web.com guy said it was their issue. At present messages do get copied if I set "copy to Sent on local folder" but then I don't have access to them away from the office. I am not tech savvy so I don't know what the issue actually is other than an email I sent on February 24, 2025 at 12:50 was the least copied to that file since I started using TB years ago. Any help is appreciated.

We have 2 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. outgoing emails don't show in sent mail.

I read the solution for my same problem- quoted below. This does not fix the problem for me. Every time I change the SMTP outgoing address for one account the other account gets changed to match it.

"It is exactly as I suspected: all the SMTP servers have the same description. To fix the problem, you need to edit each of them in the account settings>Outgoing Server (SMTP) pane and give each a different DESCRIPTION. Since they all have the same name, Thunderbird goes with the default. I suggest putting each email id within the description field for easy identification. Do that for all four SMTP servers. Then, click the account page for each, and at bottom of pane, click and set the appropriate SMTP server.

The foldeder 'eduora .htm on local folders' could not be completed because writing to folder failed. Verify you have enough disk space and that you have writeprivileges to the file system, then try again.

When I open up my Thunderbird to get emails I keep getting getting error code 0x80570015. I can't see attachments and cannot respond to emails. Also cannot delete emails. I Iooked it up to see how to fix it and they say to remove the "lightning" add on. When I go under tools and look for this add on, it is not there. In fact it doesn't seem that I have any add-ons. Something to do with the calendar which I don't even use. It says Thunderbird is up to date. Could you please give any advice how to fix it. Thanks, Matt

reply messages are not being saved to the DRAFT folder when trying to save them. I set up a new DRAFT folder under Local and can save them to that folder. However, I can not open the saved reply and need to move it to my inboix to get at it to send.

I have bought a new computer. I had 3 acounts in my earlier computer. I could inställ 2 of them in the newncomputer. But for the 3rd i get a errormessage that is was the wrong password. How can I change to a new password for this account? Regards Sven Palmgren

I have several Google accounts. For each one, the first time I checked my mail, I got a Thunderbird pop up saying "See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar" and another Thunderbird pop-up saying "See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts", followed by two "Mozilla Thunderbird Email was granted access to your Google Account" emails to each account.

And for all accounts but one, that was the end of it. But for one account, for some reason, I have to go through the whole authorization process again each time I start Thunderbird. I tried deleting the account, and Thunderbird still made me go through the whole authorization process -- for an account that no longer existed!

I re-created the account. No change.

Any idea what the problem is? It started after a Thunderbird update.
