I'm using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint.

Yesterday, I performed a complete reformat and upgrade to the latest version of Mint and I've been struggling to read emails in Thunderbird ever since. The text in the emails I receive is absolutely tiny - I'd say it was almost impressively small if it weren't so infuriating.

I've included a screenshot example of what I'm talking about. Note the size of the subject line at the top to see the disparity.

I've scoured the support pages and carefully followed the instructions given, but the aside from increasing the font of the program itself, there is no change in the text size of the messages themselves.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to add a new account to thunderbird. I filled out the appropriate information and checked on done. When the drop down window comes up it ask to sign on to my xfinity account to verify my account. But the drop down window does not provide a place to enter my password, just keeps saying that my ID or password is incorrect. I know that my information is valid, so how can I get my comcast e-mail address included on thunderbird?

I am currently using TB 115.9.0 (64 bit) but this problem has existed for a number of recent versions. I have a similar second machine with the same setup and version, same email accounts, and this does not occur so the problem is specific to this machine.

Many times when moving or deleting emails TB freezes up and becomes unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. For example I will delete a spam email and then I can't do anything with TB at all (everything else in Windows 10 works fine during this period and I can for example browse in FF). There is no indication of any problem. I tried compacting and repairing every folder and nothing changed. A while back someone suggested I delete some index file and I did that, it took a couple of days for TB to re-index everything, but the problem persisted through that.

This is very annoying as I get a lot of spam and also file a lot of emails into folders and this really slows me down, having to keep trying to click on something and drag until it works etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hyperlinks in Thunderbird (115.9.0 64 bit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4-LTS have quit working overnight. Too my knowledge nothing changed. I have followed all the steps in the document "Hyperlinks in messages not working" with no luck. 1) My default browser was Chrome. Changed to FireFox. No Luck. Changed back no luck. 2) Check that no application is specified for HTTP content can not be followed No Preferences option exists under the menu in my version of Thunderbird. Checked in settings found nothing matching the description. 3) Checked for incorrect preferences. Used config editor. Their is no Reset option for the settings. Found the referenced setting. Switched from True to False and then back again, hoping the might reset it. No Luck 4) Switched to Safe mode from the Help menu. No luck.

New to Linux, just set this system up 2 months ago. Migrated my Windows Thunderbird database without issue and it was working fine until this morning.

In need of suggestions. If uninstalling is going to be required, I need to be able to do it a way that does not lose my historical email records or my cardbook address book of 1000 names.

Thanks

1. I have automatic updates set for Thunderbird. Recently, it updated to 115.9.0. After this update, all but one of my multiple email folders disappeared. I have searched for days trying to find a solution. I added in two of my email folder names and manually entered the incoming and outgoing information. I now open my Thunderbird application today and all the folders are listed, including the 2 duplicates. The 2 duplicates have a different number of messages than the other 2. 2. I can not find where to be able to view the header and the message underneath. I have to click on each message to see if I want to keep it or not; then close; then delete. 2. how can I sort the email folders? This is a nightmare for me as I have more than 10 email folders to manage.

I have Thunderbird v 115.9.0 running on two PCs (one with Windows 10 the other with Windows 11). On both computers I can no longer open attachments that I attach to emails I'm creating, like I used to. So for instance, if I'm sending someone a PDF or JPG file, and I attache it and want to open the file and double check it before sending, I can't do that. Doesn't work if I right click on it and say "open" or if I double click on it. However if I save it to my Drafts folder first, then I can open the attachments. Likewise I can open the attachments from the Sent folder. And I have no problems opening these types of files when someone sends them to me.

I have Acrobat Reader Pro set to open PDFs, and Photoshop set to open JPGs, and I double checked the settings, and have re-enabled those as the default programs in T-bird's Settings/General/Files and Attachment section.

Any advice on how to fix this?

Hi,

TB 115.8.1 on OpenSUSE 15.5, rpm based install. KDE/Plasma.

Had to install MS EDGE, as unfortunately one urgently needed device's firmware based webserver works only very restricted with Firefox. Firefox is defined as default browser. And is used by every apps, except TB.

-> TB opens every link in MS Edge, now. Which is definitively NOT want I want :)

Found this link (German): https://www.torstenkelsch.de/blog/2022/internet/emailclients/den-webbrowser-in-thunderbird-aendern/ which descibes the as it should work way, setting file type based rules for "file type" 'http'. Or also this: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/hyperlinks-nachrichten-funktionieren-nicht

-> No entry exists for "http", so no settings possible.

network.protocol-handler.external-default was and is still set to TRUE

As "file type" is missing, searched and found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1330147 which is from 2021:

-> Checked that in fact there's no entry for "http" in my profile's "handlers.json"


As the last mentioned article is pretty old, 3 years, and archived, my questions:

-> is the missing "http" file type a bug? If so, TB in general or specific to my OpenSUSE based version? If so, I report this for OpenSUSE (only) -> If not a bug: Is editing "handlers.json" still the only way to solve this? -> As there's no entry for http, and Firefox is used by all other apps: Why/how is TB calling Edge instead?

Thanks in advance, Michael

When I select an e-mail and click delete in the top panel sometimes not only the selected item is deleted, but also the one under the selected item. It means, that important mails dissappear. I have no idea how to prevent this neither how or what I did. It seems that somehow Thunderbird selects more than the selected item. I enclose two screenprints:

  • Selected item to delete in inbox with the to delete item in the inbox
  • deleted items in the map deleted, wheree you can see that also the mail beneath the selected item is deleted

This really bad, since I lose from time to time important e-mails

I often forward spam emails to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) in my fight against phishing. I always do so in attachment format, as APWG requests. However, if any individual attachment spam exceeds about 150K (give or take a few K's), the whole message gets rejected due to a (very) old SMTP (RFC2821) protocol limiting line length (998 relevant characters) within the message as measured by carriage return/line feed (CRLF). I think the rule is delineated as 4.5.3.1 within RFC. I can still forward such messages as attachments via Gmail, and I believe Yahoo, but not if I use Thunderbird as a suite to send. Is this a deficiency on Thunderbird's part, a bug, or something they intentionally have in place? And is there a workaround-?

Today Thunderbird began to display e-mail in a very different way. E-mail is now being displayed in two (top and bottom) panes on the left. There had been only one before. The top pane seems to have very extensive "Header"(?) information I am able to scroll through about 80 lines. For example: RvqJAUcWLDsHMFDfnGYGOXezVFGgF6O_2gSu4AdcwNVA6VcB 4VkQZtPJ1zYpRwikamfQhCH6CDwYU0t1bb0x4aqv9emhalBlAaQFLyAgHRbf zUV1fp5RMcqRyIcq1MBHGHpvwJK.YkVhbdrXlG2wUxkpEqgh3gzSOXwsA0RO 6MPyV_KyWFe9ocTWNB2I_N0pAkYCdwjfs0tdbddWxtpMbmY6hWzuMTHcd3x1 EUKjlM1Up4tGcgfxDT660CHdKXrsBGqpuF9alts0MrVfZ1cNvRZZ.9fSmT.x 7khrAYljhB45I07htl2B4QkH1mycWHZ52sdZzDEDQVF4CdhqxkVITK1W2LeY dW_3L44wnfYsPI2KSXP9_NRzBPc21Yy.sl2byo_DFLS0etpJRxWPj2SEmNBt YR3KBKl_iLIVn0kb1D5Tu4kkmOubczeYmRqeKAbz91IcQce1R8JC8uoM4laY

The bottom pane has just the e-mail text.

When I print the e-mail all the Header Lines print followed by the text. I have PDFs displaying the problem but am not able to send PDF files. How do I convert them to images

Where is the setting to stop the display and printing of he "Header" information. I have no memory of doing anything that might have caused the new display

When I send email with an attachment (not very large attachment) it takes forever and then I eventually get a message back that the out going server has timed out and the message is then automatically saved in my Draft folder. However, it seems the message and attachment are actually sent and received by the recipient. Is the system not recognizing that the message is complete and just stays in the send mode until the server times out?
