I am using TB 115.8.1 on Ubuntu. I had set up an openPGP key for my main address but never used it. When I created templates to use for OoO as per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1126211 I found that the OoO reply messages (even for a different address) were attaching the key. Stupidly with hindsight, I deleted the key. Now I find that many but not all the messages in my saved folder won't open as TB says, correctly, that the key is not accessible. However, I never asked TB to encrypt these messages. I also still can't get an "Autocrype: addr=" out of the replies using some of the OoO templates I created. At least for me the openPGP is pretty fundamentally broken and has lost me content and time. I like TB but this is seriously frustrating. Perhaps this is a useful warning to others.

how do i setup 2FA for my thunderbird email account with the Microsoft authenticator app and how do i know my encryption setup is done correctly. I did this for my account but not sure if it was done correctly just want to confirm. Also recovery and backup codes can I have those too?

I used the add on "full address column." Today's update silently removed the add on and does not provide any obvious replacement for showing the senders email address in the main email window. Why are you helping spammers to get their way ? This is extremely frustrating and I might have to look for an alternative email client. Seeing the senders email usually makes detecting spam emails a lot easier. The "Correspondents" column is in most cases misleading.

Best Regards.

I have just bought a new computer and have downloaded Thunderbird for my emails. I have 3 email accounts. I have lost my passwords for these accounts. When I look on my old computer in Thunderbird I go to password manager and there are no saved passwords for me to get. It's like I have to set up thunderbird all over again. I transferred from the old thunderbird to the new one and nothing happened. I AM A NOVICE AT THIS. No accounts etc etc no passwords. I am desperate. Yes I used an external drive to put the thunderbird stuff on the new computer,

PLEASE HELP

Hi, I get sextorsion mails now and then (blackmail which claims to be sent from my own mail account). These I routinely move to a folder for scam mails together with Nigeria letters and what else I get. There are quite a lot of mails in that folder now! A few days ago I wanted to do some statistics on all these mails, and to my great wonder, all sextorsion mails, save one, have disappeared from that folder. All other kinds of spurious mails seem to remain. Are there anything in Thunderbird that automatically do away with that kind of mail? One of the mails contained nothing but a screenshot, so it did not even have text that could trigger a delete. Kind regards, and a happy new year to you all, Carl Ejnar Nielsen

Hi

My Thunderbird password has been compromised and I've been trying to create a new password for my email inbox. I've followed all the guides but just can't seem to do this!! My email location does not appear in 'saved passwords' which doesn't seem to be helping...please help!!

Trying to forward an e-mail from the UK National Health Service results in message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Message detected as spam. [1709223430-338018].. Please check the message and try again.

How do I overcome what is obviously incorrect feedback? My TB mail client and server did not detect anything during receipt. There do not appear to be any client-based TB detection tools where I can identify suspect content or the particular server.

I am using Thunderbird for two gmail accounts. I am trying to add another account (not gmail). My coworkers can use Thunderbird no problem, but my set up receives the message in the subject line. I'm trying to do IMAP, SSL/TLS for both input and output. I am on Windows 11 and the latest version of TB. I can access the account no problem in outlook. I have cleared old passwords, turned Windows Defender off (and subsequently back on) and most everything else suggested in the forums. My coworker has the same settings for multiple things we have checked and his works. I'd love to be able to use TB for my email. Any help would be appreciated. It seems like this has been a problem for lots of people over the years. Thank you.

Can one have Thunderbird with the following privacy rights? • Erase my Personal Data now and in future; • Cease the processing of my Personal Data from the moment it begins; • Restrict the processing of my Personal Data from the moment it begins; • Do not sell or transfer otherwise my Personal Data to any third party at any time, including Amazon, for example. Is there a way to have Thunderbird and one's privacy rights respected? Perhaps installing Thunderbird without its email function? Please advise. I would have no objection to the entire Thunderbird array of apparently wonderful parts should what reads in its Privacy terms document as fast and loose personal data collection and flinging about -- with all due respect to all of you otherwise.

I've received a message from Google saying "We’re writing to let you know that starting September 30, 2024, your Gmail, Contact and Calendar account will no longer support less secure apps, third-party apps or devices that ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password."

Will this have any effect on my Thunderbird usage? Many thanks

I have been locked ot of TBird (due to a lost Primary Password) for so long that most of the stored passwords are no longer relevant. I need to start over with a new copy of TBird on my PC - can anyone please give me detailed instructions?
