Thunderbird: форум сообщества

Before I recently (& reluctantly) upgraded to TB 140.8.1esr, I used to be able to paste the following in the Error Console to get a URI for an email message (or template) that I wanted to access from my calendaring app (EccoPro -- yeah, I know, one of those "from my dying hands" things, but it has never been equaled much less surpassed, just choked in the cradle by MS Office).

var hdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

I would highlight the message I wanted to use, hit Shft-Ctrl -J, and paste that in the console.

I would get a notice with something like this which I could copy

"mailbox-message://nobody@Local%20Folders/Templates#10"

I could then put a clickable link in my calendaring app to run

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -mail "mailbox-message://nobody@Local%20Folders/Templates#10"

That message would open. Then I could hit Ctrl-E to edit it, paste as needed, and send .

This worked very well. I did not come up with it. I struck gold with Google and just copied it. With something similar to AutoHotKey I was able to automate it.

Now those URI codes no longer launch at all, and I cannot get new ones because when I paste

var hdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

into Error Console I get

Uncaught ReferenceError: gFolderDisplay is not defined
   <anonymous> debugger eval code:1
   getEvalResult resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:306
   evalWithDebugger resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:218

   evaluateJSAsync resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:788
   makeInfallible resource://devtools/shared/ThreadSafeDevToolsUtils.js:103

If I had known what I was doing in the first place, I might be able to adapt to this version of Thunderbird. Something obviously changed in how the Error Console operates or something.

Does anyone know anything about what command could generate a message URI so I could open it from another app using the command line?

When I open an email and that email has a tab you can tap and open, the window opens on the far left side of the screen an I am unable to see or drag it. How do I make it open in the middle of the screen?

After recent update I can no longer send email on any of my accounts. A message popped up when I opened Thunderbird after the update stating I would need to change some settings, but message disappeared before I could read it all and could make changes. I need to know what settings I need to change to restore outgoing mail ability. my Email accounts are Gmail and Yahoo.

I’m on Thunderbird 148.0.1 (aarch64), and having an issue each time I go to my Sent folder. What happens is this. I try to select an email I just sent minutes ago, and Thunderbird scrolls down to almost the last sent email (in my case, as I keep everything, that email could be years old).

This is only on my M1 MacBook Pro, as on my 2018 Intel Mac Mini (both systems are running Sonoma 14.8.4 I can select any recent email in my Sent folder and the selection stays.

I'm changing email servers and need the best way to automatically backup my complete(multiple domains and user accounts) emails in thunderbird to a separate drive or local machine before changing servers. I would prefer an automated way to do this so I can continue to update backup file routinely

I already back up my profile regularly to a remote drive

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I want to set one account that's used every time "+ New Message" is clicked, regardless of which account or folder I'm in.

Is that what the Default Account is for? If so, how do I set it?

This support article says there's an Account Actions button that offers Set as Default. But I don't see it.

There is a gold star next to the desired account name in the account list in Account Settings, so perhaps this has already been set as the default account. But sent emails are not defaulting to it.

Any help reducing my confusion would be appreciated.

When Thunderbird injects a link preview into a message, it changes the text composition from Body Text (my norm and default) to Paragraph. This styling change persists even after I delete what look like the entire preview.

My fix for the current message is to select all and reestablish Body Text, then clean up left over mess.

My overall fix is to uncheck Settings > Composition > Add link previews when pasting URLs

Clearly HTML is required to create a graphic preview box in a message. I do not recall having turned link preview on to begin with, so I'm feeling opted in. Do Thunderbird updates download with this option turned off? ___

Another reason I eshew link previews is that they appear to establish connections to online assets without asking. How is this safe? As a software developer - and simply as a user - I have occasion to send people links that I don't want to connect with. To pick an easy edge case, what if I'm reporting a phishing or malware site? Just because I type or paste an URL into an email message doesn't mean I want to download anything from that source.

Curmudgery aside, I'm grateful for your help as always. Paul

Very little to do with accounts, but none of the selectable topics cover 'user Interface'.

Used to be able to open different accounts in different windows. Can't remember how, but it was obvious. Once new window is created, each time Thunderbird is started it re-creates them. I accidentally closed one and can find no way to re-open it. I use three email accounts each needing a different mindset, so keeping them in different windows helps. Also one has a screendepth full of folders and so is easier to handle in its own window. (The others are still there but only take up one line each when collapsed.

Good morning,

I have a Thunderbird desktop client connected to an email on a Smartermail server via IMAP. Receiving mail just fine, but sent mail stalled on the send then gives the following error.

Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent Items) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent Items-chrissy@fruitacoop.com.

I can switch it to save to a local sent folder, but that is not a viable permanent solution. I have searched and followed all suggested troubleshooting steps I could find in the community forums without success.

Steps tried: - completely removed the account and added it back - completely removed Thunderbird and all app data, reinstalled - Tried many suggested "copies and folders" configurations

All unsuccessful. If anyone has had this issue and has any insight into a soluution, I would be forever grateful.

How do I write vulgar fractions, e.g. one half, one quarter, in Thunderbird? I don't want to use 1/2 or 1/4, just a neat way of writing them in the traditional way with one number on top of the other.

Thanks.

Firefox added a Windows SSO check-box to its security and privacy settings and UI.

It corresponds to the "network.http.window-sso.enabled" prefs. My org now requires this to allow sign-in in, including for emails, so Thunderbird is affected. Any plan to support this prefs? I wpould be fine editing my prefs.js file in muy profile if no UI is provided. As of now, Thunderbird no longer is compatible with this org requirements.

I made a folder and called it April. One day the folder just disappeared. No one seems to help me recover the folder and i need it. Once I moved emails into that folder they are no longer available in my inbox. SO if you know how to recover my folder help, or if you know how to recover emails that were sent to a folder, that would work also. I use Windows 11 and I have the most recent release of Thunderbird. I use Charter.net as my isp which is pop. Thanks,Charles

For about 2 weeks, EVERY time I try to write an email, after typing a few lines or so, the whole window 'grays out' and becomes UN-responsive. I get no error message. Waiting for it to respond doesn't work and I have to close out and re-start Thunderbird. Sometimes Thunderbird will have saved some portion of my email in my 'Drafts' folder, but not reliably, so I have to frequently 'Control + S' - save it to avoid having to re-type the entire message again. Troubleshoot Mode doesn't help, nor does clearing the cache. I've been hoping an update would come up that would solve this, either from Thunderbird or Windows (11), but not so far. Please tell me how I should resolve this - I have used Thunderbird for years (and regularly contribute too) and don't want to have to change to different email client.

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize their images. you can imagine over time this all adds up in the email storage folder total size.

i dont always need to keep a 6mb image version, it can be reduced after i am done.

i would like a method to resize the received emails image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge thunderbird email account profile (in the email received not externally saved)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc. or some way to edit the received email and its attachment in program.

thanks

Hi there. I'm looking for a shortcut that takes me from the folderlist pane to the message pane and the first new message, when I'm on the inbox folder. The tab is not good. It moves between to many fields/options.
