I have been using Thunderbird for years. In the last few weeks I have a problem with appointments disappearing from my calendar. The calendar syncs to my Google Calendar and nothing disappears from the Google Calendar.

Before the last Firefox update, I was able to view jpeg attachments in emails (before and after sending) in Windows phot viewer - now I can't!!?? The options it offers to view are weird - adobe, media viewer etc - rather than before where it was Paint, Picture viewer etc? - and in settings, the ascribing options are the same, and I can't find any other on offer? How can I ascribe something like Windows picture viewer to attachments? (I have managed to get t to accept Photoshop - but that is a slow-opener) Mike

i have a imap acct using msft 365 exchange, i have created folders dividing emails into categories. i able to see them with outlook, emclient and mailbird, but with thunderbird, i can only see my inbox, no archives or created folders.

Having tried this and that (see previous email) I finally got it working by deleting the account XXXXX.XXXXX@lineone.net and then re-creating it. Beside re-specifying the email address and password (exactly as they were before) all the defaults were accepted. So the long and short is that I really don't have the foggiest on what Thunderbird had got hung up on but at least it is working now (for a while..??). Regards, Roger

Been using and loving Thunderbird for over 10 years - now on 115.18.0 (32-bit) with 8 different email addresses, all on 'ionos.co.uk'. My AV is Norton and seemed to 'upgrade' to 'Norton for Gamers' 2 days ago. Since then attempts to read messages get a pop-up window titled 'Add Security Exception' with text 'You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores will not ask you to do this. ' It gives location as 'imap.ionos.co,uk;993' then a line says 'This site attempts to identifiy itself with invalid information'. Clicking button marked View shows details that include 'Organisation: Norton Web/Mail Shield' hence my suspicion. I've had a lengthy call with Ionos support, very patient and helpful, checking things at their end, concluding nothing of theirs has changed and all is working correctly. I tried one of the addresses using their webmail, which worked perfectly. About the same time that this happened, I started getting pop-up messages from Norton when I started software programs that I wrote myself some years ago. That's never happened before! Tried reading Norton help pages but cannot get hold of a human. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I ditch Norton? Many thanks!

I created a 2nd account years ago and it has worked since then. Now when I create a third account, it works well but when I disconnect I loose the account and have to recreate it again. How come?

With the new version of TB the address book has become unusable. It is not White Text on white background. I can't find any settings to reset or apply a theme or fix the colors of the text within the address book. There are many settings and themes that one could apply to the mailbox but if one can't see the address book that pretty much it useless to try to use the email.

How does one just set up the ENTIRE program to apply a theme? Or can we get a working White and Dark themes that address all Text and All backgrounds to make them legible so there are at least useful. TB has become very frustrating. Sorry to rant but before the big changes to use native Darkmode it was really good email client but like so many that try to embrace the darkmode trend (which isn't a bad idea) they are falling short of addressing the entire product.

Any help to address the color issues in the address book would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using the Calendar for a long while I think I set it up when using the Lightening add-on. I used to be able to add a Custom Email reminder from the Set up Reminders dialog. The Choose a Reminder Action had the option to send an email. This option has disappeared. The only thing I have done is to add a Google Calendar so I can use it along with my phone's calendar. The events created before this issue still show the email notification on the tab.

Can anyone explain what has happened to cause this and what action I can take to get the email reminders back?

I get a reasonable number of TEAMS & Zoom invites by email into my Firefox account.

I have 2 questions ...

1. Can I add Google Calendar to FireFox Calendars ..... or vice versa ... so I can add an invite to FireFox calendar and have it show in Google Calendar.

2. Currently if the invite includes an .ics file I can import that into Google Calendar ..... clunky, but works. However many invites do not include an .ics file ..... as the invfite has arrived in FireFox .... can that generate an .ics file ?

I need to use Google Calendar as it provides cross platform support of multiple calendars.

I exported my profile to an external drive, then reset my Windows 11 PC. The resulting file is a zip file. When I import, the import starts, then stalls and gives an error. The error log is incomprehensible to me. How can I not lose my local folders and messages? I tried unzipping and importing that folder, but another error. I need help! Ideas? Thanks.

My email host requires changes to connection settings (this is for an existing account), specifically to increase security but also specifying new incoming and outgoing server names.

I have meticulously copied the settings provided by the host for this purpose but Thunderbird will not (cannot?) connect to the server.

Thunderbird is not asking for my password, nor does the password appear in TB's 'Saved Passwords'.

So I tried 'Add Mail Account', entered all the new settings manually, but TB responds 'Incoming server already exists' (presumably because I had already changed the existing account settings?) - see screenshot.

Should I remove the existing account before trying 'Add Mail Account'? Although that would seem unlikely to work, since the existing account with the new settings does not connect.

Support from my email (and broadband) host has been practically useless, so I thought I would ask the wonderful brains on TB forum if they can give me any clue as to where things are going wrong?

Hello, sorry for the question but I can't solve it alone

My issue : I think my emails have been deleted. Its something like 500mb of content.

I'm on Windows 10; on 128.9.2esr version for Thunderbird.

You see how the path is structured: account@mail.com/inbox/... I moved my mails folders into the folder account@mail.com (instead of account@mail.com/inbox/) Closed thunderbird Restarted thunderbird

All folders at account@mail.com/ disappeared.

I tried to find them. I created a folder named "TestAccountFindThunderbird" I moved account@mail.com/inbox/TestAccountFindThunderbird into account@mail.com/TestAccountFindThunderbird Closed thunderbird Restarted thunderbird "TestAccountFindThunderbird" disappeared as well

and making a research on C:\ drive I managed to find TestAccountFindThunderbird.msf inside the folder at C:\Users\<my_account>\AppData\Local\Temp\MozillaMailnews

At the same place I found also the other things that disappeared from my mail account Health.msf, Apple.msf, Work.msf, Insurances.msf, Bank.msf, ... But they are all .msf files...

I saved them into a backup folder. Then I copy pasted all that content from backup to INBOX.sbd but when I open Thunderbird in a blink they are all removed. I guess its because they are .msf and not actual content.

1) Why when I move a mail folder into account@mail.com/ then the folder disappears/is deleted? 2) Where are my emails? And how do I reimport them? 3) Why do I have traces of them into AppData\Local\Temp\MozillaMailnews?

Thanks in advance

I need to get my centurylink emails moved to thunderbird, ( and keep them in my centurylink for now also ) all folders and contacts if possible. NO IDEA how to start the process here after the initial account set up is done. Please , in easy to understand terms if possible, am computer challenged for the most part.

When setting up TB to use my Gmail, I can successfully set up the configuration, but when I "allow" TB to access my Google account, the credential process starts, but never complete. Note that sometimes I get a security alert indicating the TB has been granted access to my google account, but TB is not actually updated
