Thunderbird: форум сообщества

I recently move to a new Windows 11 computer and seemed to have done the move correctly, given that everything showed up, and I could send and receive emails.

For no apparent reason, however, the keyboard suddenly began mistyping in the message portion of the email message frame but not in the header ("To," "Subject," etc.) areas. For example, when pressed, z appears as {, y as z, h as i (but followed by a space), 6 as 7, d as e, and so on.

I tried various fixes, which didn't work, such as pressing windows key + space bar simultaneously, or left alt + space bar simultaneously, to no effect at all: nothing appeared, nothing happened. I looked in "Settings" to see if there were any other keyboards listed, which there weren't.

This is happening nowhere else, in any other application, but here, and I've never seen anything like it before. Also, I've used Thunderbird for quite awhile and never saw nor heard of anything like this.

I sure could use some help. Thanks.

1. I downloaded the german language pack for correcting my writings. To use ist I have to go to options and writing correction and make a makr there. Works perfect until the next email than I have to make it again, no way to store it ??? I always jumps back to english

When typing messages with incorrect word, Thunderbird advises the error, but does not offer alternatives. This worked on my old PC, but not on newly installed version on new PC.

Thanks.

I tutor a number of students in math which necessitates using Greek letters. Easy enough in WordPerfect etc but I can find no usable info on how to do it in Thunderbird.

I dropped by to see if I replies to a query about Thunderbird. Sometimes the options to Login wouldn't let me in, it kept going to "Como colaborar" that went to a Page with mixed English and Portuguese, another page had mixed Spanish, Portuguese and English.

After a lot of translating, I made it my login. Wow! And my day has just begun. :) ~r

It beggars belief that such a mature email client as TB does not cater for Right-to-Left texts, to languages/scripts used by so many countries who are actually keen on opensource technology.

AFAIK the current solution is the bidi-mail-ui add-on, but then it's near impossible to get the slightly old version to work! Come on.

Is there a roadmap for this? Can we log a request somewhere? Wishlist?

Cheers

Incoming mail (txt only; no html) is getting more and more unreadable the last weeks. It looks like in the attached screenshot. I am desperate. What can be the cause of this?

At the same time there are problems with outgoing mail. Characters like 9 or : do not appear on screen although I typed them. When I copy the text to another program, these characters do show. Very annoying. Hope there is a solution to be found somewhere!

Best, Mike

I am using Thunderbird with IMAP accounts and the Swedish language pack. My Inbox is correctly displayed as "Inkorgen", but other system folders like "Drafts" still show their English names instead of the Swedish ones (e.g. "Utkast").

In the folder properties dialog, it looks like there is a field for the display name separate from the server path, but I cannot edit it for system folders. For custom folders I can rename them, but not for Drafts, Sent, or Trash.

Is there a way to change only the display name of these system folders without altering the IMAP path? Or is this a limitation in Thunderbird's localization/mapping?

Witam, prawdopodobnie skutkiem jakiejś aktualizacji programu, niektóre nazwy folderów poczty thunderbird nie wyświetlają się w języku polskim. Nie umiem sobie z tym poradzić. Proszę o pomoc. Dziękuję i pozdrawiam. Wojtek

Dear Community,

I have installed Thunderbird on a new system and imported my mailbox and archives from my old Mac (both running macOS). I am currently using macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and Thunderbird 40.5.0 ESR (64-bit).

All messages—whether imported or newly received—both in the Inbox and in archives are showing the month as April (i.e., xx/4/xx). This issue also appears in the email body when replying or forwarding messages. Please note that the day and year are correct, only the month appears incorrectly as “4” (April)on all messages.

Messages in the imported local folder archives display the correct dates. I have email folders going back to 2006, and I would greatly appreciate your guidance to resolve this issue.

Many thanks in advance, Leonardo

Some email messages have wonky text - how to fix this in Thunderbird?

Same question for how to fix in Firefox.

See attached screen shot.

Thanks

Bonjour, Après plusieurs essais je n'arrive pas à mettre les dossiers de mes comptes mails en Francais ? ceux-ci restent tels que: - Drafts, - Sent, - Junk, - Trash. Par contre le dossier "Courrier entrant" est bien en Francais. Dans les paramêtres impossible de les changer. Merci de votre aide.
