Hello,

I hope this is the right place to post about this issue.

Just installed Thunderbird Beta 112.0b3 (64-bit) a couple of days ago, getting the feel of this one and doing OK, but found an issue.

Buttons (screenshot supplied) are not working (not taking me anywhere) except for the calendar one, which works OK

Any feedback or instructions to correct this would be appreciated.

Regards, Jay

I had several address books with selected contacts under my Personal Address Book so that I was able to select them for sending emails to selective groups. Unfortunately my system crashed and I had to reinstall my OP system including Thunderbird. When I upgraded to a new version of Thunderbird I was unable to migrate the contacts within those list to the new address books, unfortunately I don't remember which version caused the change except it was when they moved the address book icon to the left side of the screen. I had copied the respective sub address books to .csv files. How can I import the selected .csv files to a sub folder under my Personal Address Book? Also, how do I copy/paste individual or groups of contacts from one file to another?

When I receive emails with calendar invitations, I can't put the event into my calendar because Thunderbird says that I have "no writable calendar". In the Properties for my Calendar, when I try to associate the Calendar with an email account, I see two, sometimes in the past three, identical email addresses listed, and that's the email address that I need to associate with the Calendar. Sometimes, I just keep trying one after the other until my Calendar becomes writable and I can save the emailed invitation. However, most of the time, no matter what email address (in the Properties list) that I choose, I still get the error that my Calendar is not writable.

I use Thunderbird with Exquilla for Microsoft Exchange. That works fine. Earlier, I had tried Thunderbird with Owl for Microsoft Exchange, which also seemed to work but my office suggested continuing with Exquilla.

Thank you for any assistance with this showstopper problem. Best regards, Damon

When I try to send email from Thunderbird, it gives "Sending of Message Failed" error. I'm running Windows 7 with Thunderbird 102.9.0 32bit. I tried with a gmail.com and a hotmail.com address, but it gives the same error.

On Windows, I have an Admin account and a User Account. I can login to the Admin account and it'll work fine. It's just a specific Windows user where I have the issue. I tried reinstalling Thunderbird, deleting %APPDATA%/Local/Thunderbird and %APPDATA%/Roaming/Thunderbird, but the issue persists.

Any ideas?

Hi there. I hope you can help me.

Suddenly, I am unable to upload outgoing messages to the server and I have a message stuck in the outbox. Clicking on the icon in the bottom left and corner of the screen merely turns me on or offline. Downloading is OK. I've checked the outgoing server settings and all seems to be correct.

Is it my imagination, or is there a setting that prevents automatic uploading to the server when the icon is clicked? If there is, I've been unable to find it.

Any help / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jan

Hi!

I recently got Thunderbird (TB) re-installed in my new PC.

In the re-installed TB, certain mail threads are sort of compressed, so I cannot click and open older specific emails, or did not find the right method to do it. Also, Archive or Remove are the only two buttons active. The drop-down thread with Save As (and other options) has disappeared.

Can I still click and open specific emails in a thread in TB? If so, how do I do it? Am I missing something?

Can I still find the Save As option, to save email threads (as backup) outside TB, in my PC? If so, how do I do it?

Why are only some threads compressed? It seems to happen randomly. For example, the thread most recently active was compressed, along with some other, older threads.

All threads I refer to as compressed has a branching-like symbol to the left of the subject line. This symbol never appeared in my old TB. In my old TB there was never a problem archiving a thread outside TB.

Many thanks in advance!

Best, Stefan Andersson

After update thunderbird sending errors in all accounts. Removng all data (profile and cache folders) and reconfigure not help. Use:

• Xubuntu 22.04
• snap install
• version 102.9.0 (64-bit)

Hello, I am a long time user of Thunderbird and appreciate all the work that is going on to update the software. My simple piece of feedback, purely for your information, is that connecting to the Thunderbird and collecting messages has now become very slow. In the past the process was almost instant, not so now. I am sure that you are aware of this but if not I hope this is useful to you. Keep up the great work. Thank you. Gerry Bird.

I have had a problem with duplicate emails over the past 2 weeks and today a new problem started. After trying yet another Repair of my Inbox, TB crashed. I requested a restart which it did. Once it had restarted, it promptly crashed again. It repeated this 5 or 6 times when I decided to uninstall TB and reinstall it. But it did not help. As soon as I started TB again it began to populate my Inbox with 10s of thousands of duplicate emails and then it crashed! I really need to read my email and I'm considering an alternate program. Can someone provide some guidance? Thanks!

I use Protonmail, and after a year of on-and-off back and forth with them, I finally have the bridge working with Thunderbird.

At any rate, I have been trying to import my contacts from the Protonmail webmail to Thunderbird. There is an export tool on the webmail site, and that seems to go fine - it creates a .vcf file. If I open that document, it has all of my contacts there. Then I open Thunderbird and use the import tool - that appears to go fine, but after I hit "finish" and look in the contacts, there are no addresses. I have shut down and rebooted, closed Thunderbird and re-opened it, tried all of this several times, but nothing changes.

I searched on here for threads on this and found things from 2015 saying that a .vcf file is for individual addresses only, but I'm thinking that must have changed? It is the only export option.

Can anyone help? I have TB 102.8.0, and I am on Cinnamon - Kernel: 5.15.0-67-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 11.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 5.6.8 tk: GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 21.1 Vera base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

Thank you.

I turned on my desktop Mac today after five weeks away. All the folders in my main email inbox on Thunderbird have disappeared and, when I try to send an email I get the following error message: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I checked the setting with Thunderbird on my Macbook and there is not problem: all the folders are still there and the server settings are identical on both computers. In addition, I'm not getting any emails in that inbox on my desktop Mac, though on my Macbook they are all coming through fine..

Also, I have several other email inboxes on my Thunderbird and they are all working just fine on my desktop Mac. It's just that one email box on that one computer.

Any solutions, anyone`/

I have a Mac running Ventura 13.2.1 I use Thunderbird 102.9.0. When I try to retrieve mail, it takes over a minute. The bottom of the screen says "Host contacted Sending Login Information".

I am running no anti virus programs and have none on my computer

T'bird & Firfox, Win 11 OS. Prob: one weekly formatted newsletter has for over one month come in as an unformatted monster para. Comes in on two other Win OS computers formatted correctly; also correctly formatted on Apple OS. Did Come in on Gogle/Android OS. Have uninstal/reinst F'bd not fixed. What is possible issue? Thank you.

I'm trying to migrate a 45 GB profile to a new computer the usual way: I have copied the profile folder, started Thunderbird Profile Manager, created a new profile assigning this folder as the profile folder. I'm working in offline mode. The old PC runs on Windows, the new on Debian Linux.

All of the email addresses show up, but NONE of the emails are displayed. The folders appear as empty. Interestingly enough, I can search among the emails though using Ctrl-K: upon entering a keyword, emails containing it are found and enlisted, however, I cannot read the full email: clicking on them leads to an error message saying email cannot be loaded since I'm working offline. Ctrl-Shift-K does not work.

I have tried the same process on a different PC running on Windows: here at least some of the emails are displayed, but not all of them, although I have followed exactly the same procedure as before, as described above.

I'm out of ideas. What could be the problem?

Apparently last Thunderbird or Windows 10 update added a second duplicate sent file folder.

How do I remove it?

I saved info as an rtf file with images pasted into it. Can not paste in or attach here.

In 2020 I had asked how it's not possible ( and after what, 10yrs of Lightening being in production ) that in 2020 that when a person ( we will call him Bob ) send another person ( we will call her Sally ) an email ( and there are 2 other people on that same email ) that when Sally wants to QUICKLY and EASILY setup a meeting that people from the email from Bob are not just added to that new meeting and you are done?

This should be INCREDIBLY incredibly easy to do: right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and then when the dialog box pops up, Bob, Sally, and the 2 other people are added to that meeting. Yet, No. Three years later? How can this be ?

In the original post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1295910 and as commented on by @sfhowes it was suggested to ask on the chat groups. Yep. Did that. Nothing. Again, How can this be?

So, Let's add up the time it takes to do this, the number of clicks, etc,. and it's more than 5 mins just to go back and forth to the original email, copy and past peoples names and put them into the "attendees" dialog box. If I have to do 10 of these a day - and I often do, that's 1hr a day of meeting setup that I could do in literally 1 min if the above functionality worked and which it does on just about EVERY other email platform out there. Add this up, 1hr a day, 20 work days a month that's 20hrs a month * 12 = 240 hrs or TWENTY FOUR DAYS of our lives wasted every month making calendar invites where if right right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and peoples names and email addresses were already added, this would not be happening.

Is there someone at Modzilla / Thunderbird / Lightening that we can pay to put this functionality which was clearly there in the past back, so we can ALL have 23 days of our life back every year? :))))))))))))))

It's 2023. This functionality is clearly needed to be enabled again.

j'applique le mode d'emploi Phase 1 sur l'ancien PC phase 2 sur le nouveau PC mais arrivé à profiles je ne trouve plus roaming ni thunderbird alors impossible de continuer l'import

I am using Thunderbird ver. 102.9.0. When i send an email, a copy naturally goes to my Sent folder. Lately, a duplicate also shows up in Trash. But the subject plus to whom sent are in bold type. I can delete these duplicates in the Trash folder.

I have looked at my account settings and nothing there appears to account for this. I would like to eliminate the creation of these duplicates. Any ideas?
