Fórum da Comunidade de Thunderbird

Email from a trusted address over past decade is suddenly going to Junk as of today. Cannot see how to whitelist the Sender, and googling the question tells me to go to Tools>Options, however Options does not show in the Tools menu.

Hello,

I want to be able to highlight/copy an email address from the 'Results for:.. ' header at the top of the Search Results page in Thunderbird 115 (see attached screenshot).

When I use the Search Bar, Thunderbird recognises the email address as being used previously, but does not bring up any results. It used to be possible to highlight/copy the email address from the 'Results for:.. ' header in previous versions of Thunderbird. I would much prefer to be able to do this save time and ensure that I have the email address correct - otherwise I need to type it out manually which is frustrating and can lead to errors.

I hope you can help!

Best wishes,

Ellie

I'm using Thunderbird 115. I changed to card view layout but I have a problem where the height of the row in card view is too small. See screenshot.

How do I increase the height of the rows or set some margin/padding etc so I can see the email subject properly. Please help.

Since yesterday I am unable to receive mail. When I send a test email the message below comes up. Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent...

I have searched, read and tried all fixes on this topic already provided but nothing has worked.

Thanks in advance.

I composed an outgoing email message that I wanted to keep for future use, and saved it as a Template. That not only saved it under the unified Templates heading, but created a second appearance of my main email account with its own Templates subfolder. At that point I decided I really didn't want to keep it after all, so I deleted the message, but the second Templates folder didn't disappear; its still on the tree list as an empty folder. Right-clicking that folder doesn't have a Delete function, but it does present a Repair option, but running that doesn't help. How do I get rid of that unneeded individual email account listing and the empty Templates folder?

From the article "Microsoft OAuth Authentication and Thunderbird in 2024" there is a screenshot showing a OAuth2 option for the SMTP server setting with STARTTLS connection security. It does not appear for me. There are only the five options, as shown in the screenshot. How do enable the option to be available in the drop-down list or set it?

The available options are:

No Authentication Normal Password Encrypted Password Kerberos / GSSAPI NTLM

I am on Thunderbird version 115.12.1 (64-bit), Windows 11, version 23H2, build 22631.3737

Hello,

Thunderbird keeps crashing. That is about all that I can tell you. It started this morning (/when I got to work I fist noticed it). I have not used any add ons. I have been submitting crash reports. Crash data avaiable on request. I uninstalled and re installed, same result; crashes immediately on start up.

Please assist.

Thank you

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

I want to change the styles, I know how to change teh default typeface but where are the Para styles hiding? And does anyone know of a style management add-on?

thank you....... liz

First off you should warn that this version changes your profile, so there is no going back. I installed it and have lost ALL of my accounts and had to start from scratch. It took me back to the beginning. I hate the interface, too cluttered, to busy and generally sucks. I am thinking of dumping thunderbird at many, many years of using it.

My inbox is badly messed up. Most incoming messages will not preview.

Let me attach a screen grab from earlier this morning. Look at the last (most recent) incoming message. The preview displays a completely different, unrelated, 5-year-old message. That message can be found in its proper chronological position in the inbox.

Also, one of my important mailbox files is ruined. When I look at such a mailbox in my text editor, each message begins with a "From" line. Normally this line has data in it, such as

> From ???@??? Mon Apr 25 16:58:14 2005 or (since 2011) > From - Mon Nov 28 16:46:45 2011 In the ruined mailbox, there are thousands of messages, but only one, the oldest one, has the special flag and the date after the "From" -- not even the hyphen "From - ". So when I try to read in that inbox, the TOC shows only one message, that oldest one. None of the others get into the TOC because they lack the necessary opening line. I don't know how all those opening lines were changed.

I am using Beta 122.0b1 (32-bit). I don't know why I am in the Beta channel, and I probably should not be, but it was easier to remain (and have automatic updates) than to change. I am on Windows 10.

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

How do I search for a specific folder in Thunderbird?

For example if I want to search for a folder that might have the name DDC-Benefits or part of it ?

Also is the wild cards that could be used if I don't remember the name of the folder for example if could I do like *dc* (the * would be the wild card character)

Thanks in advance.

My wife and I have both used Thunderbird successfully since the Turnpike email clients became obsolete with Win7. We have enjoyed doing this. I have also made occasional donations over these years to support Thunderbird when appeals have been made. We are both, however, disgusted with the new layout of Thunderbird and have now downgraded back to ver 91. We will continue using this earlier version as long as we can and have no intention of upgrading again to your new monstrosity. The familiarity of a layout is a vital part of using any software and we have not found the new layout, FORCED upon us, at all helpful or in any way "better" than before. Your failure to provide any flexibility in adjusting the new layout to become more familiar to us is dismal - have you not heard the expression "If it 'aint broke, don't fix it"? Not all of us want the latest gismos and features and are quite content to continue with what we have. You could at least have still allowed that possibility in the options provided rather than denying us it by FIAT. If it proves impossible to continue with the earlier version at some time in the future we will find another email client to use instead. Sadly we will then no longer be supporting your work.

I am searching for a solution for my problem and maybe this is a possible new feature that would help many users. When I open my thunderbird, all attachements open in a new tab, easy and very usefull because of the invoices i need to pay are always open, and when paid i save+ close them. But then i have to send the invoice attachement to my accountant. So i have to go to the original mail AGAIN forward this mail to the accountant etc.....It would be easy if there was a little button in the open attachement tab that directly opens a new sendmail tab with the open attachement already included in the concept.....Maybe i didn't searched very well....BTW I love thunderbird and install it @ all my customers sites instead of MSOutlook, plugins are fine an email reading is once set up correctly the most easy to read interface. the attachement tab is displaying an url like : imap://my%40mail%2Ecom@imap.mailserver.com:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX.xxxx%3E128?part=1.2&filename=20210446.pdf&type=application/pdf. I can not even get that by a right click+ sent to email to work.....Yup I'm Belgium and dutch......so i hope i made my idea clear by not using the translate apps and just my brain......:)

Hi, really thank you for your great work.

1. My question

I observe that in other editors like VSCode, Sublime Text

If nothing is selected, and I press Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+X the current line would be copied/cut

meaning while in Thunderbird nothing is copied/cut.

※I write only text mail

1. My suggestion

Is it possible to implement this feature? Would be very convenient.

Hi,

I would propose a feature request as follows to show a more detailed mail history in Thunderbird:

• List full email adresses in mail history from TO: and CC: addresses (currently only the display names are used)
• List full subject line for each mail quote (currently no subject line is listed in mail history)
• List filenames of attachments (I think this was already done in some previous versions of Thunderbird but it has been removed for whatever reason, it would be very nice to include this feature again)

Or is this already possible with the current Thunderbird version?
