W10 machine, Thunderbird 140.4.0esr (32-bit)

I thought I had successful auto install W-10 but when I open to send 1st message the"+ new message" button is not active/working. Per article this is how to start. Thanks for help.

Confused. Version 144.0.1 | Released October 16, 2025 Says 32 bit. I thought I downloaded 64 bit.

Problem: Freezes when I click anywhere on TBird desktop

How do I address the freezing problem?

Thanks Robert

When I compose email messages, I want them to be plain text only. In older versions of Thunderbird, this worked fairly well, but in new versions, even though the message is sent as plain text, it is not the same text that I type into the editor.

For example, if I begin a line with "> " (greater-than space) to indicate a quotation, Thunderbird will add another space at the beginning. I once tried to send "-- " (dash dash space, a signature marker) in a message, only to find that Thunderbird replaced the space with a non-breaking space.

I didn't ask for that. I want the content of the message that I send be exactly what I type, nothing more, nothing less. No reflowing, no subtle character alternation. Is there a setting to disable those mis-features?

I copied my profile because I had to reinstall TB. When I copied it back, I got all my emails but not my address books.. How can I get these back? Also, I got my emails back but it didn't include the number of each. How do i get these back?

To be clear, I seriously doubt the problems I am encountering are TB's fault! The problems may be my fault since I've grown older, I've tended (believed) using new versions of software present my mind a BIGGER challenge than using the older software/version I have been successfully using? I'm still using Version115.10.1

After our ISP chose to start using Zimbra Oct. 7, 2025 and their tech support could not assist me in getting TB working the had me remove POP3 settings for TB and change to IMAP with their software.

FINALLY someone helped me get TB working with IMAP. For 3 days grrr. Now the ISP says I need to use their web mail, Zimbra.

So might downloading the current TB version and somehow get the In box, all the folder contnets etc. over - into the new TB help?

I was going to backup everything tonight, now I have little to NO hope, without help!

THANKS & remain WELL plus be SAFE!

I've been searching for a few days for a solution to Yahoo Mail not downloading to Thunderbird, I've seen other people with the same problem, I've tried different solutions, but at this point I've given up. My Gmail is still downloading but I have to check my Yahoo Mail via a browser. What gives? Why did this happen in the first place?

I have Windows 11, I've updated Thunderbird.

Upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 a couple months ago. Since then, TB freezes nearly every time I am composing an email. "Help About" says TB is up to date. Remedies? Or do I have to wait for a new version?

Every time I want to print an email, the default copy number on my printer menu is shown as 2.

I don't know how, when or why this change [from 1 copy to 2 copies] happened.

I wish to 'reset' the default copy number to 1, so I don't accidentally print a second copy and waste ink, etc.

When I want to print documents stored on my PC, the copy number field on the printer menu is blank, allowing me to enter the number of copies I want - so the issue appears to occur only when I print emails.

Hi

I am using the latest TB build, 144.0.1and have only the British dictionary as an extension, no themes.

Occasionally TB will hang when launched and the Windows event viewer will show this....(added image)_

The friendly xml log within the event viewer...

AppName thunderbird.exe

 AppVersion 144.0.1.0 
 ProcessId 0x6234 
 StartTime 0x1dc51956edcf231 
 TerminationTime 5 
 ExeFileName C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe 
 ReportId f3ad169f-c629-4357-85ae-7db29d0541f1 
 PackageFullName  
 PackageRelativeAppId  

HangType Cross-process

as noted, this only happens when the email client is launched and will not happen each time. I have tried without the dictionary, as it is so random it can take a while to occur, but that does not seem to make a difference.

I am using Windows 11 25h2

Thanks

I suddenly this week cannot send email using Thunderbird (v. 140.4.0esr (64-bit)). I receive email fine. I can send email using webmail with my provider. Error message in Thunderbird is: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server not available (62240/216.183.125.238)." My provider says the issue is not at their end because my server settings are correct. Outgoing SMTP port is 465, connection security SSL/TLS. Operating Windows 11 v. 24H2.

Hi

I work in a small traditional community fishmonger shop in Scotland and we use Mozilla. I am trying to find a basic instruction manual i could print out handy for us (we are a small team and only i have experience in Microsoft emails etc but this is different ) and i am just trying to help us understand some basics priority being for email, contacts and folder daily management.

We receive a mix of online orders, customers, suppliers and much “junk” noise emails so i’m trying to help us figure out simple and easy to set things moving forward after some staff changes that impacted our “flow”😊

Any tips would be much appreciated 🙏 Thankyou Danna

Right after typing my email address and pressing "Continue", Thunderbird crashes. I wanted to give it a try after many years of not using it, but then it crashes right at the start.

Since installing Windows 11, the right click "send to/mail recipient" hasn't worked with Thunderbird. I located the "send to folder", selected and opened "mail recipient", and selected Thunderbird. Now the "mail recipient" option has completely disappeared from the send to drop down menu. Can anyone help please?

When adding my outlook account to thunderbird, my right password is regarded as wrong. I don't why. I've checked the password several times, and make sure it is right.

I get a pop-up every 5 minutes asking to let Thunderbird access my gmail account. I've never had the gmail account set up in Thunderbird and don't want it there. I hit the Deny button every time, but it never gives up. How can I make this stop? Thank you!

If a folder has been compacted and now only shows emails that have been starred, is there any way of retrieving the files that have been compacted? I am using Thunderbird version 144 on Windows 11 Thanks Michael
