Форум поддержки Thunderbird

I have TB set up for my gmail account and everything is working fine. However I have a folder on my HDD containing old e-mails and mail folders (these are files with an SBD or MSF extension or no extension) and I would like to be able to access these old-mails from my current TB setup/profile (or, if necessary, from a new profile - but in that case I would need some guidance as to how to set up that profile because I would not have an e-mail address I could use for the purpose). I have tried Local Folders~Settings and pointing Local Directory to the e-mail folder on my HDD but that doesn't work. Any help will be much appreciated.

HELP! I've used Thunderbird since inception and love it. My dilemma. As of this morning, it was asking for a password? Strange. Of course I had no idea what it was, but through the help of this forum it showed me how to find it. I typed it in and it will not accept it. Through the help of this forum again, I found out how to simply change it which I did all to no avail. Still won't accept it. Grrrrrr!

So here I sit with important emails to send out and receive and unable to get anywhere. I even tried, "forgot password," but because I can't receive emails due to password request, I cannot get the link to proceed in that direction.

What now? I'm crossing my fingers and toes someone can help. I still don't understand why it would all of sudden ask for a password. My internet provider is Spectrum (previously Time Warner). I tried calling them to see what gives and of course they said they can't help.

Most of my emails suddenly got erased from the server (I checked in cpanel). Thankfully i took backup few days back, and thunderbird still has them saved offline (Not POP3, its still IMAP configured). I recovered most of emails but those are visible only on my system. How can i put back those emails back into server, so it can be accessed from other devices as well?

I am having difficult connecting to mailboxes in Plesk Obsidian on a VPS. I can set up the mailboxes in Plesk and make a note of the password. I then go into TB and start the 'Add Mail Account' process. All goes well at first. I get a green message saying 'Configuration found by trying common server names' (automatic connection). When I click 'Done' TB whirrs for a bit and then comes back with a green message showing a tick and 'Checking Password' but an orange message saying 'Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password'. If I try manual configuration I get a similar sequence (using ports 995 and 465, SSL/TLS and 'Normal password').

I do not have this problem when working with cPanel (on a different server, but very similar mailboxes and security settings). This suggests to me that there's something amiss in my Plesk settings, but what could it be?

I have searched around without success. Most articles that might help are for TB 31 (even the Plesk Obsidian on-line manual). Any suggestions, please?

When I reply to an e-mail using Thunderbird, quoted text appears (in Thunderbird) with a quote bar on the left as expected.

However, when the recipient gets the message in Outlook or GMail, the quote bars are missing. In GMail quoted text is indented and a slightly different color (though it's hard to see the difference). In Outlook the quoted text is just indented.

How do I get Thunderbird to include quote bars for quoted text in the sent message?

If I format the message (with quote bars) using markdown in a browser, and then cut/paste the formatted message into Thunderbird, then it appears as expected to recipients using Outlook and GMail. But that's a painful way to compose replies to Outlook and GMail users (IOW everybody I reply to).

In the email client I have just come from the Unread folder contains all unread messages irrespective of the folder they might be in. The Unread filter in Thunderbird appears to relate only to the highlighted folder. I have many folders, the list being long not all are visible on the 'home' view. This means that messages in folders far down the list are only visible if I scroll down looking for them. Is there a way to modify the Unread filter to ensure that all folders are searched for unread messages and displayed together? I am using TB 91.8.1.

I have recently moved from Outlook to Thunderbird as Outlook developed a problem communicating with my Virgin Media email accounts. I am slowly finding my way around Thunderbird, but am experiencing a problem with some of my sub folders. This only applies to Virgin Media accounts.

I have looked at previous questions on a similar topic and have tried the simpler solutions (the ones applying to advanced users are Greek to me)! Unfortunately, they haven't solved my problem.

If I go to account settings and uncheck the "show only subscribed folders" box, the greyed out sub folder disappear. However, right-clicking on the folder heading and selecting subscribe and attempting to subscribe to the folders there, doesn't work.

Is there a simple process I can go through to access these sub folders?

I cannot sent email to one specific recipient. I have two accounts, one through gmail and one through AT&T. When I try and sent an email to this one recipient from either account, the File/Send Now function is grayed out. Ctrl-Enter does not work either. This is the only recipient I cannot send mail to. I've sent test email to several other recipients with no problem. Obviously, I'm not getting any kind of 'email blocked' type of message, since nothing is being sent out.

My Thunderbird version is 91.9.0 (32-bit)

Any ideas why this is happening?

TIA for any help.

I am trying to add a new gmail account to Thunderbird but when I enter my address and password, a pop up appears in which I need to enter mail address at google. I do this, but it seems to just re-prompt me.

I have attached images of the steps taken to try to add the gmail account:

tb1.png: I enter name, address, password. tb2.png: TB validates this and adds some server info. tb3.png: a popup opens and my address is pre entered. I click the blue button. tb4.png: I am reprompted for my email address. I can enter my address again and again and click blue button but I am re prompted every time. Seems impossible to proceed from here.

If I can open this pop URL in a proper browser to inspect what is going wrong, I could probably fix this issue. However, TB will not let me copy the URL from the address bar which is frankly user hostile behavior :(

I have tried doing this on several different internet connections as well as tried disabling pihole, etc. So that does not seem to be the cause.

Recently, and not for the first time, Thunderbird sent an automatic reply which thankfully bounced. However I couldn't find the offending email when searching for this address. Using a third party tool, namely Agent Ransack aka FileLocator Lite, I found the folder and hence the email.

How can I do this within Thunderbird. I can only select To, From, Cc and/or Bcc. Not Reply-To.

Can anyone let me know if this is possible, if so how?

I need windows 7 system, it supports older version software. Wife complains she need to set "landscape" for winword for each print. This is not required when using windows 10. Microsoft office is installed on both systems.

I have read all the "solutions" to the above issue however the "solution" popups do not appear on my screen. For example, from the address, I can select multiple addresses in which to send emails. However when I select "Write", it puts them automatically into the "To" box. I want them in the "Bcc" box. I see where you can move them from the To to the Bcc but it won't let you select ALL of them, you have to move each one, one at a time.... ARRGGG. Why can't this simple issue be resolved? This was no problem with Windows Live Mail. One "solution" says I can select the contacts from my "address side bar" next to the email..... I have NO sidebar.

No response to previous, so trying again with 2 questions: 1. Having lost addresses and calendar because of having to download fresh program, are addresses and calendar still somewhere in the computer to be retrieved?? 2. To guard against it happening again, can ads & cal be stored remotely for re-importing??

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

I have searched the help to increase the size of the opening page fonts in - email subjects and account names. I am using the most recent update of Thunderbird. Per what I saw in the help I went to layouts.css.devPixelsPerPx and changed -1.0 to 1.2. Closed the config editor and returned to email - no change. I shut down Thunderbird and opened it again - still no change in the font size. I reset the setting in Config Editor and tried 1.25 - still no change. Tried -1.25 still no change. Each time when I go back to this setting in config editor - the number has been changed - but does nothing to change the font.

None of the font settings in Preferences have any effect on the opening page of Thunderbird.

I have some visual impairment and need these fonts larger. There has to be a way to do it. At one time these fonts were larger. There must be a way to change these - and why it is not easily built in to Preferences is terrible - and makes Thunderbird useless to those with minor visually impairment.

I need help in resolving this - there has to be a way.

Can my registered email address be changed? The user settings make it appear that it can't. If so, how do I precede if/when my email address changes (which may happen at the end of this month)?

Thanks! Mark.

The use of a separate filter set for each Thunderbird account can be a major pain for some users. I have 32 email accounts (some of them disposable) in a number of domains for a large number of purposes. Sometimes several accounts need the same filter, so when I add a filter I add it to the dominant account, and then have to copy that filter set to the other 31 accounts. I suggest adding an option that would use the same filter set (the one for the dominant account makes the most sense) to be used for every account, eliminating the need to copy filters.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm - new to Thunderbird. What are the two small lines i.e. -- on the compose email page? Can they be permanently removed? They seem change the text formatting from the Calibri I have set.

Messages with the different subject are grouped in one thread

The subject line for one was " Fw: Important Document(s) from Store's" & "Signing complete: 123 Main ST Residential Lease Contract & Pet Ag". One email came from a store email. The other came from docusign.

The only thing they did have in common was that inside the message from Store it mentions "Main St.", but not the full address.

I tried to move one email to another folder, and both emails get moved. My end result is that I need to put the store email under my "VENDORS File", and the other under "SIGNED CONTRACTS File"

Also, I keep missing emails because it keeps putting them in weird threads like this.

I have set "mail.thread_without_re" to false already. I just need to file emails to correct file.

Please & thank you for your help!
