Dear Sir,

Username: [email]@malcolmgmiller.biz

I am unable to sign into my email account.

A fault notification comes up advising incorrect username or password.

I have checked and all is in order.

Perhaps I have put in the incorrect information earlier when setting up.

Please reply to

[email]@aol.co.uk

until issue rectified.

Yours faithfully,

Malcolm G. Miller. [email]@malcolmgmiller.biz [phone number]

Good morning, As the Release channel is the new default one, I updated my ESR version to the new 136.0. And now there are some things that doesn't work :-( I've my Exchange account configured with Owl addon. It's compatible, and it's enabled, but I see two bugs:

• Msg filter are not applied automatically, I've to apply them manually. Very annoying!
• The Exchange account Inbox messages are not displayed in the Inbox unified folder. I've to manually add it every time I restart.

Are these bugs from TB or Owl? How I should proceed?

I recently moved my TB to a new PC desktop, and TB is working fine. But I see that my local archive folder is gone from both the new and the old PC, as well as my NSTMP folder. Could someone help me locate them?

thanks

When I receive an attachment in an email, I have the option of opening it, in this case a PDF. Then the attachment is properly displayed, and one of the options given is to print the attachment. When I select print, I get a progress gif that just continues to spin; nothing gets printed. I can open the PDF with Adobe and print it so I know the PDF file is intact.

Help.

I'm trying to import my contacts from Outlook. When I choose import from Outlook, it doesn't import anything. So then I exported from Outlook as a CSV file, and imported into TB. But only the first and last names are importing. I'm mapping the email column to 'primary email', and also mapping the work phone column to 'work phone' and the cell phone column to 'mobile number'.

But emails and phones are not importing.

I'm using TB 136.0 on Win Server 2019

As I would like to use the Troubleshooting Mode for Thunderbird, I clicked the appropriate button. Soon after, my browser screen appeared and showed Thunderbird’s site requesting me the donation. I have been paying it regularly, thus I would like to skip this site to go further. However, there is no way to go further. I am writing this now from my mobile phone. Please help me.

Hi all. I have repeatedly tried to delete all the default Thunderbird categories in Settings > Calendar > Categories, but every time i do, and restart Thunderbird, they reappear. I'm on 128.6.0esr 64-bit, no add-ons except for Darko and Allday Tasks, and i've tested this with Allday Tasks removed. Renaming them and THEN deleting them works, but deleting a default category with its default name doesn't. I guess it's a bug and i'm reporting it.

Hello,

I have a problem with searching for emails in Thunderbird. It finds older emails, but it doesn't find any emails from this week at all. Sometimes, it even fails to find automatic emails sent to customers, such as order confirmations or shipment notifications.

Could you please help me with this? It’s slowing me down and making my work more difficult.

Thank you.

Hello. I have been using Thunderbird for personal email on my desktop for some years now, but recently the client seems to download messages and then allow only a few for me to read. I don't think I have set up any SPAM or TRASH detection. Right now, in addition to my message downloads, the client is showing 3 messages as NOT READ - but which I cannot find to see! Is it something to do with the number of messages still sitting in my INBOX? I have around 3700 of them.

Just not sure how to solve this. I just tried to send a message from another of my email accounts - which was received and viewed fine. Attached is an image of my INBOX. Thanks for your kind help. Lee, West Sussex UK

I have set up GPG on my own computer. My friends computer is on the same system, F41, Sway, Thunderbird. All updated.

My GPG in Thunderbird works, and the other system hangs for around 30 seconds then return “failed to send mail”. The error console returns the following:

We followed the instructions Encrypt emails with Thunderbird and GPG | Bacardi55's Web Cave and GPG Keys Management :: Fedora Docs which as I said results in my other system working as intended.

Could the non-working system be missing a package or a pointer set incorrectly? GPG and GPGME are installed. Keys are configured.

Hi, When an incoming email has a link to a web page, it doesn't open up in my separately installed copy of Firefox, which has my password keeper and other useful tools. It opens up, instead, to a separate copy that is controlled, it seems, by Thunderbird. How do I get rid of that intermittently appearing Firefox. Instead of being able to click on the link and go to my installed Firefox, it's forcing me to copy the link and manually insert it into the installed Firefox. The third image is my active Firefox window. The other two (duplicates) is the Firefox screen I get when I click on a link. My Firefox install appears on the lower menu bar. The Thunderbird generated Firefox is only accessible by clicking a link in an email. I hope there's a solution. Thanks Barbara
