Thunderbird — Fora społeczności

I've just transferred my profile to a new computer, for which I downloaded TB152 (had been running TB128), and no add-ons/extensions work. Of course many were rendered inoperative with the update, but that's not the issue, because:

1. Even those which claim to be compatible, or were updated since the transfer for the purpose of extension compatibility, do not work.
2. Moreover, when I invoke the Add-ons Manager to inquire about the various non-working extensions, none of the links (which can be seen and read by the OS), can be invoked or even copied (to be, for example, pasted into a browser window).

I went through the standard [[Mozilla Support diagnostics|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working]] and found no answers. Can someone suggest a next step?

Trying to understand why this problem is related only to the extensions, I examined the profile's "extensions" folder. There are 40 .xpi files (same as the number of mostly-disabled (and mostly-expired) extensions in the Add-ons Manager), along with a subdirectory named "staged" containing 7 empty folders with what appear to be .xpi filenames - though none of those empty-folder-filenames match any of the .xpi files in the parent "extensions" folder. Because the "staged" folder has a recent timestamp (apparently the last time TB shut down), it seems to have some significance to TB operation - but what can be the use of it is more than I can see. What is the significance of that folder and its contents?

Two final (and possibly related) questions about this "extensions" folder:

1. Is there any way to relate the <filename>.xpi to the name in the Add-ons Manager?
2. Since nothing in the "extensions" folder identifies which are enabled, there must be some file containing a functional description of the folder's contents. Where would that be?

Grateful for any pointers, -John

Dear Support,

we can not log-in with our office 365 account. We need to log-in with "Exchange Add-on erforderlich", but we receive this error message.

I attached you some screenshots. We do not understand why this error appears.

When we log-in with option "Exchange" then it works but we need the other option because we need to have the sub-folders.

Please help us.

Best regards, Andreas

Hi,

we developed an add-in for MS Outlook. The add-in, connects to a mail message, and reads information from the mail - to transfer information to a special journal system.

Is it possible via API to Thunderbird, to create Add-Ins as seen from MS Outlook?

Best regards, Michael Vad

Tried getting help from SPAMfighter, but they are closed for the day. I uninstalled SPAMfighter and reinstalled. No luck. No toolbar. Is this version of Thunderbird, (151.0.1 64-bit) having issues with SPAMfighter as some of the previous versions have had?

This is a continuation of the thread - [is being managed by your organisation CAUSE: Bitdefender]

The solution of deleting the Registry Key does not work. It simply comes back after reboot. I have engaged with BitDefender support and they suggested the same thing - they also added to uninstall TB which I am not going to do.

The issue is that the BitDefender extension is not installed in a normal way, and cannot be removed. The settings in BitDefender do not make any difference, I cannot change settings in a Thunderbird account eg change a folder location, it looks like it works, but it actually does not.

I did find in the about:config extensions.webextensions.uuids key has the bdThunderbird@bitdefender.com entry but there is no indication as to what other strings belong to the entry and I do not to mess things up.

I do realize this is a BitDefender issue, and i did follow up with their support but I am wondering if anyone has solved this annoying issue.

Thanks

Been using Tbird for quite a while. Currently using ver. 149.0.2 but problem started before updating. Used to have a tab called Cardbook which shows all my contacts and is synchronized with Google. Its gone and I don't see how to add it back in. Advise please and thanks.

Now the Message Header Customizer I was sent to about a week ago is no longer compatible with Thunderbird 149.0.

Is there another somewhere I can install?

I'm using Thunderbird vesion 149.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11. Our Email host has a 100 emails per hour limit. We need to send out 400+ emails to subscribers and are having issues with using only Send Later and BCC being rejected by certain email domains and or going to spam. Is there a way to use both Mail Merge and Send Later to send 100 emails to the recipients {{Email}} {{Name}}, pause one hour send another 100?

I've developed a thunderbird add on. Now I need an extension ID I've read https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/extensions-and-the-add-on-id/

So how do I get an extension ID?

I seem to have purchased "Owl for Thunderbird," unwittingly paying 10 Euros ($11.93) while in England on 2.11.26. I don't want or need it and I want remove and cancel the add on. I also want to stop paying. How do I do that? Where is it hidden in Thunderbird?

None of the topics suggested fit. I'm having trouble with getting extensions on toolbars. In the customize toolbars window there's a toolbar at the very top of the page that starts with mail, calendar, addressbook, etc. Just for example, the Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar extensions are in that toolbar, but I can't move them to another toolbar and that toolbar disappears when I close the Customize page (either way) and I haven't been able to find a way to get it displayed in other places. That toolbar is very similar to the toolbar that appears on the left side of the Thunderbird window, but that one doesn't include the extra extension buttons that I mentioned above.

Some people in various places have suggested that customizing Thunderbird toolbars is done the same way as in Firefox. But I haven't been able to find a puzzle piece icon anywhere.

By the way, I used to be able to add more toolbars, which I found to be an attractive concept, although that implementation didn't always work so well.

Hi there,

Is there a way to get checkboxes to select messages or at least a plan to get it in a future release? I saw that there has been an add-on in the past, but not maintained for some years and therefore not possible to use in newer versions. Yes, I know that you can select messages with ctrl and mouse click, but there are others in my family who are not familiar with it and reluctant to get used to it. (have used gmail for too long).

Greetings Grauer

I am getting started with TB and Exchange with the OWL plugin (https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/owl-for-exchange/versions/). None of my filters seem be working. From what I determined from ChatGPT, certain body-oriented filters aren't supported. However, I'm just trying to do a simple filter on a sender (see attached image), which as I understand it *should* work.

Can someone confirm that filters like this either work or *don't* work for you? The OWL docs are very light on this: https://support.beonex.com/help/en-us/4-features/23-unsupported-feature

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

i started using Thunderbird on my Mac last year as i was experiencing issues with Outlook. I was very happy until now, as Thunderbird has a lot of nice functions that are easy to use. One of them is the integration of Teams via the Microsoft Teams Quick Access expansion. However, since two days this has stopped working for me. When i open the expansion tab, i get a message that "the browser version is not supported. Please download the desktop app".

Is anybody experiencing the same problem? Is there some kind of incompatibility between the versions that i am not aware of (both expansion and thunderbird are on the latest release version)?

If anybody knows a solution it would be really good. Thanks
