This isn't really about messaging, it's about attachment printing, but I can't find a better topic to file this under.

I get emails with PDF attachments dozens of times a month. When I print the PDF's, I always select "print headers & footers" and never had an issue until this morning. Now if I "print headers & footers" all I get is headers & footers, no portion of the PDF file is visible on the printout. If I unselect that, what I get is a blank page. Changing margins doesn't help. Changing the Scale doesn't help. Saving the files and then printing them from Adobe works fine, but obviously I don't want those extra steps and I DO want the headers & footers from Thunderbird.

Windows 11 home, 25H2 26200.9168 Thunderbird 154.0 64 bit, it auto-updated itself to this version sometime in the last day or two.

I have been using Thunderbird on my PC for years and when I got my last PC, I found a article to help me move my files. I am now looking for instructions on how to move my Thunderbird files from the PC to the Mac so I can continue using it as I have been.

After a re-install of Thunderbird the Message List does not appear in columns, and there is no label bar at the top of the Message List to allow sort by date, sender, topic, etc.

How do I get the Message List to appear in column format again?

Thanks in advance.

Ok small issue but annoying, I'm using a desktop install of thunderbird,and upto the last few days it has worked fine,I was using a custom sound file to inform of new emails and that was working fine,but yesterday I noticed that no sound was being played when a new email arrived,I've changed it back to default and that is not working either.

Anyone any ideas why it's not working or how to get it back to a working basis?

A couple of days ago we could no longer send or receive email through Thunderbird. When we try, we get the notification "Connection to server mobile.charter.net to [email address] failed" and repeatedly get the notification that our server connection has timed out. We can send/receive through Charter's webmail site, but not through our Thunderbird email client. Thank you for your help.

8.24.2026 As of yesterday, Thunderbird Inbox new messages have no content showing. Today, a few new messages can through with a date stamp only-- no subject or sender info and no content when clicked on. Ran the Troubleshooter procedure in which all old Inbox messages vanished. Some slowly came back with subject/sender info but now their content is missing. Today, Spam folder held new messages w/subject/sender line and content showing. But still no new emails with/subject/sender and content. just a time stamp. What's going on?

Using Mac Airbook M4; iOS Sequoia 15.6.1

THUNDERBIRD 154 - IMAP MESSAGE LIST EMPTY AGAINST MERAK MAIL SERVER 8.5.0

=============================================================

SUMMARY Account sets up successfully. Folder tree enumerates. Message counts and unread counts are correct (folders render bold for unread). No messages are ever displayed in the message list pane, in any folder, regardless of size.

ENVIRONMENT

 Client : Thunderbird 154.0, Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 (19045)
 Server : Merak Mail Server 8.5.0 (2006), IMAP 143 STARTTLS
 Auth   : CRAM-MD5

SERVER CAPABILITY STRING

 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN SORT
 THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UIDPLUS QUOTA ACL NAMESPACE CHILDREN IDLE
 UNSELECT STARTTLS

 Note: no CONDSTORE, LIST-EXTENDED, ESEARCH, MOVE, LITERAL+, SPECIAL-USE.

REPRODUCTION

 1. Add IMAP account (autoconfig finds 143/STARTTLS correctly).
 2. Wait for folder discovery to complete.
 3. Click any folder. Message list pane is empty.

OBSERVED

 - Empty on every folder, including a 7-message folder and a 19-message
   folder, so this is not a volume or indexing-time issue.
 - Reproducible on a brand new profile with only this account configured.
 - All folders confirmed subscribed via Subscribe dialog.
 - Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) shows nothing when a folder is clicked.
 - "Run search on server" + Search returns nothing, AND no SEARCH command
   ever reaches the server (confirmed in server log). The request is never
   put on the wire.
 - Setting mailnews.imap.jsmodule=false has no effect.

CONTROL - SERVER IS HEALTHY

 The exact command Thunderbird issues works correctly from curl on the
 same machine, same credentials, same account:

   curl.exe -v -u stem --url "imap://<server>/INBOX" \
            --request "UID FETCH 1:* (FLAGS)"

 Returns all 2932 messages with UIDs and flags. SELECT INBOX reports:
   * 2932 EXISTS
   * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1435733459]
   * OK [UIDNEXT 45598]

 Bounded FETCH (FETCH 1:5 (FLAGS)) also returns correctly.

CONTROL - CLIENT IS OTHERWISE HEALTHY

 CardDAV and CalDAV from the same Thunderbird install to a Nextcloud
 server work correctly - address book and calendars sync fine.
 Outlook (with the same mailbox) reads this server without issue.

LOGGING NOTE

 MOZ_LOG=IMAP:5 produces no log file at all in 154 (tried via batch file,
 as administrator, with Thunderbird fully exited, log path outside any
 redirected folder). The MozillaWiki instructions for IMAP logging appear
 to be out of date.

SERVER-SIDE LOG

 Below: sessions for user "stem" only. Other users on this server have
 been removed, all SASL credential blobs redacted, duplicate sessions
 dropped, sorted by time.

IMAP server-side log - sessions for user "stem" only Server: Merak Mail Server 8.5.0 (2006) Other users and all SASL credential blobs removed.

With the new meadow update when either replying to a message or selecting new message there is no command menu bar to send save as draft etc.... tried several of the commands an setting changes but nothing seems to work - can do cntrl+enter to send and that s about it....

I wish to have a non American email client, but most free ones have a 1GB limit. Can I set Thunderbird to save all emails to my home PC so that if I delete the email in the email client, it is still saved on my home PC? So far I have not downloaded or installed Thunderbird, so just asking if it is posible, if so I will install Thunderbird.

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

I'm looking for a possibility to customize the font size of OUTGOING mails (not the incoming, these I could already change). For example, what term should I search for in the advanced settings?

This is the message I get when I try to send a message. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <budguinn@charter.net> sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I have included a screen shot of my server settings.

When using the Unified Inbox to compose a new email, the From address is the Default Address of the first account created in Thunderbird. Presently I am having issues with that addresses server so I want to default any new mail to the Default Address of one of my other accounts. Anyy help with this?

all INBOX emails disappeared from one of my email accounts. The other is working fine. Emails that were still open in one of the tabs are also now just an empty tab. --no luck repairing folder or deleting INBOX.msf. If I go to the Charter/Spectrum website the emails are still showing What should I try next?

154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

8.24.2026 Incoming emails are showing sender and subject line and date/time stamp. but nothing more. Click on one and no content shows up. Where is the missing content?

I ran the Troubleshooting Mode yesterday which initially "deleted" every email in my Inbox. Last night and into this am, those missing emails have begun to slowly show up in the Inbox. New emails are also coming in today but without any content, as in, their message does not appear when clicked on.

When scrolling down to view older emails from earlier this year, same problem with no content showing up after clicking on item.

Why is this happening? I'm not a developer so need elementary instructions on what I need to do to restore whatever has gone haywire.
