I'm a newby to Thunderbird so forgive me if this sounds stupid. I'm moving off Outlook so used the TB Import function to get all my mail into my TB Inbox. Sucess. Next I'm setting up Filters to move all that mail to my Local Folders but struggling a bit. After setting up a few filters, I hit the Run Now button and off it goes (I guess), reading thru all 9,000 messages and moving the ones targetted. The problem is, I don't know when that has finished so I go and build a few more filters and run manually again, or try to. The Run Manual button is now greyed out. It would be nice if there was a display at the bottom telling me why that is so. It would also be nice if, when running manually, it not only told you the target folder, but has a progress bar to let you know how that's going. I suspect the greyed out Run Now button on my subsequent execution is because it's still doing the first execution. I would know that if the display was there.

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.

I apologize for the mess I made entering duplicate requests. The is the latest UPDATED request on 6/24/2026 at 3:30 PM EDT

I'm using Firefox for Android version 152.0.1 (Build #2016167575) on a Galaxy S24 Plus phone running Android 16.

Firefox is set as the default browser. It always opens whenever a task requires a browser. But when I try to open an HTML file by tapping or long pressing it, the dialog window that opens doesn't show Firefox as an option. Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

I have checked the settings in "Apps that can open links", all apps there show "In other app" In "Default apps", Firefox is under "Browser app". Screenshot_#2_20260624.jpg

What do I need to do so Firefox is either the default app for HTML files or at least shows up in the "Dialog window"? Screenshot_#1_20260624.jpg

Thank you!

After Fire Fox does an upgrade for the next 3 to 4 days I cannot connect to web sites that circle just keeps spinning. Sometimes after about 20 to 30 minutes it might connect but then all I get is blank pages. Unfortunately I'm stuck with windows 10 for a while longer. Have tried most of the solutions refreshed 4 times and even reinstalled 3 times but doesn't change anything. Any ideas? Thanks

I update Thunderbird/linux to v.130 over a year ago, implementing oath2 with gmail. I do NOT want to do more updates because with each previous update I lose desired capabilities; I did this update only because of gmail's authorization requirements.

Worked fine for a while and then I started getting "authorization error" messages and could no longer access this account with Thunderbird. I have over 20gb of stored messages on my computer and do not want to do anything that will jeopardize this -- I generally delete all messages at the server. Google is of no help other than suggesting deleting and then somehow restarting the account. No. Someone suggested switching the account from oauth2 to password and then switching back again, but I am reluctant to do anything that might lose my messages. I can backup the entire profile, of course, but that just gets me back to where I was.

I went through the reauthorization process with gmail, including getting the 6-digit code, but the error still exists. I've been forwarding mail in this account to another account, but I'd rather go back to the REAL account. Help!

I have discovered Major problem with Firefox which affects the use of my btinternet.com email account . Since the recent update I am no longer able to add the contact name to a new email which I wish to compose automatically from my contacts (I am required to type it in full. I can still do it, with the shortcut of typing in the first 3 letters, when using other browsers such as Google or Edge or the Outlook muti mail account service but generally prefer Firefox. If this situation prevails I will ditch Firefox as speed of communication and addressing is of the essence to me. Are Firefox aware and are they correcting things?

Could any settings have been altered by the update - which contribute to my problem?

When I select one (or more) people from my email contacts in the dropdown list of BT Mail, the address(es) appear as "invalid" or "illegal" in the "To:" field. This has only happened since the last update to Firefox. This does not hapen with other browsers, so why should I be forced to change, just to send emails? It is a real PAIN. Having done a bit of research, it appears that there is Javascript issue. When can I expect a patch? I have enjoyed everything Firefox gives me, but this issue is giving me cause to consider moving

Thunderbird 170.7 My son's email address has changed. When I write to him, the old email address appears by default. I cannot delete it from the address book, and I can't change it or edit the address book entry. If I am not careful, my message gets sent to the old address. Nothing seems to work in correcting the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. John

Neither my wife nor I can access email on our respective PCs. This has been the case for four weeks. We can access email by our Android phones, but we really want to use our PCs. I've tried to resolve the problem and failed. Previous to this failure, I had an account with BT but this was transferred to EE. When I attempt to log in to my mail account, I receive the message "Could not connect ... :the connection was refused". I can also add is that in my Account settings, Outgoing Mail server I see a message "Connection to server mail.btinternet.com:465 failed."
