I updated to the lastest version of Thunderbird (Windows) a couple of days ago and ever since have been unable to send emails and my address book has disppeared. The two things seem to be connected as Thunderbird seems to refuse to send emails that do not have an address in my address book and as the address book has gone - no send! I can't even reply to incoming emails, the "send" button just stays grey (see attached example). Even if I type the email address - same result. If I try to add a contact to Address Book nothing happens when I hit "New Contact". The address book just comes up with the following strange messages:

"Contacts from remote address books are not show until you search" note nothing happens when I search

and

"This addess book show contacts only after a search" again nothing. (Screenshot attached)

I have tried copying address book from a back up of my profile that is a only a week or so old but nothing changes. I can see lots of abook-x.sqlite etc files in the back up profile but even deleting all of these in the working profile and copying the back up files in does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated as I can't just keep using my mobile version to conduct business.

Since update my emails are all in dark mode, I used the button to turn off in email read, but cant turn it off in email reply, means I cant read what the person has said because the majority of people write emails in normal black on white. how do I get it back to normal? Thanks in advance.

I'm on Thunderbird 140.3.0esr on Fedora 41 Cinnamon

Hi ... I have carefully followed the instructions but when Icopy and paste ihe file involved - it seems to transfer - but NO PROMPT to overwrite appears. What might I be doing wrong?

I recent got the new thunderbird update. However i also loss all my saved messages and local folders and my contact email addresses. I really need that information for some IRS imformation. Plus u also get nothong but a bid Donate now message in the body of thunderbird. I have already donated several times. I need my information now. I am quite upset about this loss is data and email addresses.

It makes sense that you might want your signature text to change depending on who you are communicating with (employer, business, friend, etc).

In Outlook you can enter several signature texts, identified by a name. I sure would like to have that in Thunderbird!

Another possibility would be to circulate among several signature texts, just to "keep it fresh".

Thanks for your consideration.

ich habe einen Emailaccount bei web.de. Leider werden nicht alle Ordner meines Emailaccount in Thunderbird angezeigt. Welche Lösung gibt es ?

I use Thunderbird to manage my personal Gmail. After changing my Google account password, I had to go through the authentication process. At first, it failed with the message: “Cookies are not enabled. Try again.” On my main PC (Windows 10 Pro), I tried several times to set up my Gmail account in Thunderbird (profile changes, uninstall/reinstall), but without success. After those attempts, Thunderbird stopped showing the “cookies” message, and every setup attempt now ends in a blank (white) page: either just before the second-factor authentication (2FA), or — less often — right after the 2FA is completed. This behavior continues even now that cookies are properly enabled. The first Thunderbird version I used was 142.0, but I also tried 115.13 and 140.2 ESR with the same result. In all cases, the process always ends with the blank page, and the account setup never completes.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Can I safely access my Profile, which is on a Windows partition, when I am using Thunderbird under Linux (Fedora) on a different partition?

My computer is set up to dual boot using Windows 10 and Fedora Linux. I use Thunderbird and access my emails using POP3.

I use Windows most of the time and therefore my Thunderbird profile is on the Windows partition. But when I'm using Linux I sometimes like to be able to access my emails using Thunderbird. I have set up access in the Linux Thunderbird profile so that it points to my profile that is on the Windows partition.

In some earlier versions of Thunderbird that were around in 2022, I found that if I used Linux to open Thunderbird I could access my profile that was on the Windows partition and read and send emails, but then when I rebooted to Windows and tried to run Thunderbird, I found that my profile was broken and Thunderbird under Windows could not get to my emails.

But, confusingly, with some versions of Thunderbird, the Linux version of Thunderbird did not break my profile on the Windows partition.

I tried asking questions about this issue on the Forum back in 2022 but I received answers saying that what I was trying to do was very "dangerous" and I should not even attempt it (even though it did work sometimes with some versions of Thunderbird).

The last time I tried this was in 2022, and I have not tried it since then.

So, my question is "Is Thunderbird robust enough to allow me to access my Windows Thunderbird profile when I am running Thunderbird using Linux (Fedora) on a different partition?

I am running Thunderbird version 140.3.1esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro machine. Software and operating system fully up to date.

Followed instructions global junk settings. There simply is no such caption in my privacy settings. What's become Global junk setting?

I am buying a new PC. I would like a 'blank' TB on this machine so I can replan the folders and the email address books. I'd like the current copy on my current PC to be moved to the new PC such that I can access it as I do now but- like a 'sleeping' copy - ie just there to access the emails and address book occasionally/when needed, but not receive new emails.

This will give me a fresh start on the new TB on a new PC, and will save me having to clean up the old TB version. Is this possible? Thankyou

Recently Thunderbird was upgraded on my main PC, and suddenly the 'new mail' icon in top left was gone, I hav looked under various settings, and can't seem to get it visible.. I know that 'ctrl+n' is useable, my version here is 143.0.1 .. strange on my secondary PC Thunderbird version is 141.0 and there icon is still visible.

I have a bunch of folders and messages in an email tree in Tbird's Local Folders and I would like to move the root of those local folders and everything below that folder root to a Tbird remote email server which is an account on my Tbird tree. My Tbird is using IMAP to communicate with the desired server.

Is it possible to just drag the root of the tree from the Local Folders and plop it onto the desired server and all the messages would get moved to that remote server and everything would just magically appear there? Is it possible that it's that easy? :-)

I want to ask before I try it and really mess things up.

Thanks!

Compacting fails with error message " The folder 'Inbox on **********' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." This happens on both my PC's, which are not connected in any way, but have duplicate installations. The profile is 7.75GB - PC A - Win 10 Pro - has 704GB spare disk space, PC B - Win 11 Pro - has 50GB spare disk space. I can think of no reason why write permissons would change. This problem started with ver. 138 & has continued with ver. 139
