I can no longer sort emails by date. I did find “Sort by – date” in the right hand menu but it’s greyed out. Since I’ve noticed tags are underlined when a new email has come from the same source, but the option to view only tags are greyed out too. So I have an impossible jumble of emails “sorted” by sender and without taking all morning, I’m left with no idea what new emails I’ve received!

I’ve only one sensible option left. I still have my old computer that runs on “outdated” software. I can consult Old Thunderbird, installed about eight years ago! That version works just fine!

Thanks!

Hey!

Is there a way to apply Message Filters only to a specific folder of the mailbox?

I have a filter that moves emails from my Gmail mailbox to a Local Folder. It works well.

However, if the same email gets downloaded to the "All Mail" folder of the same Gmail mailbox, it gets moved as a duplicate to the same Local Folder. (all Gmail mailboxes have this "All Mail" folder)

I have unsubscribed from the "All Mail" folder, as an attempt to resolve this issue.

However, if I go on the Gmail website, delete the email from "All Mail", it moves that email to the Trash. Then, once Thunderbird downloads that email in the Trash folder, the Message Filter applies, and the duplicate is moved again to the Local Folder.

--

I believe the only way to resolve this is if I could select "Inbox" specifically, for the Message Filter.

So my question is whether it's possible (maybe with an addon) to select which folder I want a specific Message Filter to apply to.

Thank you!

Hello dear Thunderbird members.

Please, I would like your assistance to the following issue.

It's about when creating an existing account on Thunderbird application. Creating a Google mail account, or Yahoo! account (IMAP setting up). Or creating on POP3 module my mail account that I have on my internet provider.

So, the question/problem is, when I create account, all settings are being created (settings I mean incoming mail server, ports, etc), the authentication of username and password is passed, and finally account is created, with inbox folder, and immediately automatic getting messages begins. And, all other folders under inbox are being created/loaded. What I want to ask is if there is a technique, after account creation, only the inbox folder to be created empty, then not starting an automatic getting messages, and only if I click on inbox folder or press the get messages button, just then, the getting messages and folders begin. Just something like say disable automatic getting messages when creating existing account.

Is there any way to make this?

Thank you for your time!

Hi there!

I have 20+ email accounts on my Thunderbird, Mac os and some are from my old websites that aren't functional anymore, but I would love to back up the data as there's quiet of useful / business info in them.

So, is it possible to just back up selected accounts from Thunderbird, instead of backing up the entire profile of 30+GBs?

If yes, how ? and will I be able to restore them later ?

Lately Thunderbird is very, very slow to send or receive email from POP3 Gmail. I've noticed the slowdown a while ago, and hoped that a reinstall would fix the issue. But it does not.

I am using a fresh snap install of 115.9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, with calendars disabled.

This is what happens:

  • When checking or sending mail, Thunderbird spins up a single CPU core for 130 seconds.
  • The CPU core spins only if Thunderbird is on foreground (not if in background or minimized).
  • I can see on the Network Monitor that until 130 seconds have elapsed no network request are made.
  • After 130 seconds of waiting, some requests to google are made and mail is actually checked in a couple of seconds.

Seems that Thunderbird waits for something that never happens, and actually checks mail only after something times out.

How can I fix this? Do you have any suggestion of what to try?

Regards,

José

Suddenly I cannot send emails. I can receive emails. I have checked my account settings and they are correct as follows: Charter Communications mail.twc.com port 587 Starttls normal password ggordets@san.rr.com. I contacted Spectrum and we proved that the problem is not them by initiating an outgoing email to myself using webmail. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird. As indicated above my email is ggordets@san.rr.com

Thank you. P.S. My operating system is Windows 10.

I am running Thunderbird 115 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Desktop. I am used to an earlier version found in Mint 20.3, which had a header bar, I will call it, for lack of a better term, that let me sort by name, subject or date. By date, I could sort with ne newest or oldest email at the top. There is no such here on TBird 115.

There is a screenshot attached to this post showing at the top of my inbox.

Now, to answer my own question: Referring to that attached screenshot, there is an arrow pointing to the button, just right of the Quick filter. That button will open a menu that provides display options. Select to sort by, then select Date at the top of the menu and Descending toward the bottom of the menu, fourth up from the bottom, in my case. The Descending option will put the newest email at the top.

When I finish typing something either into the search bar, YouTube, YouTube studio, really anywhere, I have a hard time editing it.

The best way for me to explain it is to show you:

Before edit: Firefox is the best browser, hands down.

After editing: Firefox is ntheot best browser, hands down

What I meant to say: Firefox is not the best browser, hands down.

When I went to add the "not", I selected the place right before the "t" for "the" and began typing. All of a sudden it freaked out and did what you see.

This seems to happen no matter if I am in desktop mode or not. Also, this is even worse when trying to type on YouTube studio to edit the title and description.

"All_I_Need_Is_You_exported_0"

This is the default title that I get on a video. See how there are multiple underscores? When I go to delete them by selecting the spot right in front of them and then add a space to keep the gap, it often completely removes the word to the right of where I am adding the space. This doesn't happen as often, but what happens everytime is when I try to add text to the beginning.

For example:

Before editing: "All I need Is You"

After editing: "Lecrae - I need is you"

What I meant to say "Lecrae - All I Need Is You"

It has this issue when I select the beginning. There is no way to not have the problem because there is no empty space between the beginning and in this case "All".

Hello Mozilla Support Community,

I'm an aspiring web developer diving into the world of Firefox add-ons to enhance my workflow. While I'm familiar with some popular add-ons like Firebug and Web Developer Toolbar, I'm eager to explore more tools that can streamline my development process further.

I'm particularly interested in add-ons that aid in tasks such as:

Code Editing: Are there any add-ons that offer advanced code editing features within Firefox, such as syntax highlighting, autocomplete, or code snippets management?

Page Inspection and Debugging: I'm looking for add-ons that provide robust tools for inspecting and debugging web pages. Something akin to Firefox's built-in Developer Tools but with additional features or customization options would be fantastic.

Performance Optimization: Are there any add-ons geared towards optimizing website performance, such as identifying and resolving bottlenecks, analyzing page load times, or minimizing resource usage?

Cross-Browser Testing: I'm curious about add-ons that facilitate cross-browser testing within Firefox, allowing me to preview and debug my web projects across different browsers without leaving the browser window.

Accessibility Testing: Given the importance of accessibility in web development, I'm interested in add-ons that assist in testing and ensuring web accessibility compliance.

Version Control Integration: Lastly, I'm wondering if there are any add-ons that seamlessly integrate version control systems like Git or SVN into Firefox, providing convenient access to version control features directly from the browser.

If you have any recommendations or personal favorites in these categories or any other add-ons that you find indispensable for web development, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you in advance for your help and expertise!

I'm running Firefox 123.0.1 on Linux Mint 21.2. Something changed after my last update. I visit a number of web sites at which I scroll down a window to a link, click on it to open it, read that link, and then return to the previous page. Examples are news sites like slashdot.org, associated press, or arcamax. Firefox used to return to the place in the original site page where I had clicked on a link. Now, it returns to the top of the original site page, and I have to scroll down again to where I had clicked on a link. I can right click on a link, open a new tab, and then close that tab, but that requires multiple clicks, and I used to just click/click. Is there a way to set up Firefox to go back to the previous behavior? Thanks in advance. ;
