Hi there,

i try to describe my problem as good as i can, i am no native english speaker, so sorry for any confusing phrases :)

What is my acutal problem? When i open Thunderbird it asks me to type in the password for the account. If i type it in without checking "save password" everything works. When i check that Thunderbird should save my password, Thunderbird is trying to send the login information, but after some time (about two minuets) i get a timeout error while trying to reach the mailserver. I am able to login and work with webmail, i contacted the hosting provider, we double checked all settings in Thunderbird and he also checked if any IP of me is blacklisted or something, but everything is fine.

Since when does this happen? I am self employed and i am providing IT support for customers. Yesterday i got this new customer who said he can't receive mails anymore. His installation of Thunderbird was really old (version 45.x), so first things first i updated the installation to the recent version. When i first opened the updated Thunderbird the password prompt appears and the problems begin.

What i tried to fix the problem I did some research. I searched for pkcs11.txt inside the profile, but there was none. After that i looked for key3.db and key4.db files, i found both and moved them both to a backup-folder and started Thunderbird again. key4.db is created new, but that does not fix the problem. I can't find any more related topics to my problem, so maybe some of you have any idea. As i said, when i don't check the box to save the password, Thunderbird is working fine without any problems.

Thanks in advance for any help,

greetings from germany Christian

I have a hotmail.com address. Until recently, it worked well as webmail, plus also from TB on laptop, via IMAP and SMTP.

A few days ago, the sending function via SMTP stopped working (not IMAP); and webmail is still fine. I've tried a lot to solve it, but to no avail.

My guess is that MS is to blame, but don't know how to reach someone better-than-hotline there.

Details see annex; OS is Win10, TB is 115.9

Would someone be familiar with this kind of problem? According to my traditional european quality idea, best should be to get in touch with an MS technician with access to the syslog, to hear what the system's response to connection attempts is - but this seems to be precluded? I wonder what alternatives there might be?

I'm running TBf 115.8.1 (64-bit) on Gentoo and trying to install an extenstion (Note++) for TB. When I select the *.xpi file from the 'Add-ons Manager' after having downloaded it, I get a dialog of the following:

--- Add XNote++? This extension will have permissions to:

Have full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird, and your computer

Malicious add-ons can steal your private information or compromise your computer. Only install this add-on if you trust the source.

Learn more Cancel Add ---

So I select the Add button, but nothing happens, the dialog just stays there. Even if selecting Cancel nothing will happen and it doesn't go away.

Thoughts? (image attached)

Hello, Nothing changed in my settings and now when I go to forward a message it is no longer inline, it has the messages as attachments I can't see, read, edit. My settings does say "inline" yet it is still not placing the forwarded message in the body anymore. How can I get this back? Everything I read says to check the setting inline but that doesn't fix the issue. thank you,

A few days ago emails with attachments (pdf, jpeg), and of various sizes, stopped sending (timed out). The problem appears to only exist when I send from my desktop, not using webmail. All had been working fine prior to a few days ago. Emails without attachments send fine. Incoming emails (with and without attachments are also fine). I have had several discussions with my internet service provider who claim there is no issue at their end. I have checked my account/server settings in Thunderbird and all seems correct there. I'm using the POP mail server, if that is relevant. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. Not being able to send emails with attachments if a major impediment.

Checking and checking again, no errors found. Thank you! Best regards, Simon Roos

In 115.8.0 (and earlier versions), the plain text Write window text area ignores the Colors shown everywhere else. Even if I choose Edit->Settings or Tools->Settings from the Write window toolbar, and select Composition in the Settings window, I get color choices that affect all other windows, and even the Write window header line and the dropdown menus from the Write toolbar, but NOT the Write window toolbar itself, nor the content I'm composing!

The text of the content I'm writing is decently visible, but the background behind it is medium gray, and the quoted text I'm replying to is a pale green almost indistinguishable from the pale gray background. Miserable for my lousy vision...

Is there some trick to getting that text area to follow the colors seen everywhere else in Thunderbird?

bold text4 or 5 years ago i simply synced TB and Firefox straight to my laptop from my desktop. Today it does not seem to work that way. Why has it gotten more complicated? I have all of my emails, address's and etc.saved profile and cannot seem to replace it. I tried the thunderbird.exe -p and it gets confusing there. Apparently it does not give one the option to replace profile like mine, but one can create one. I tried creating by entering my old Profile and it did not work. It says to use the Browse button which should bring you to the actual spot to add your profile. I do not see a 'Browser" button, but do see 2 separate folders buttons, but i do not know which to choose, if any. I have donated in the past when things were working smoothly, but discourged to add to it now with all these upgrade mess's. Like they say, "if it ain't broken, leave it alone..." s amd

I am running T-bird 115.9.0 on Windows 11.

The T'bird icon on my Start Menu (not task bar, but start menu) persistently shows a red dot on top of the icon. There is no number inside the dot, so it is not telling me how many unread messages I have. The dot does not go away when I have ZERO unread messages. The dot does not go away when I uncheck the "app icon options" toggle.

The red dot is always present, never changes, never goes away. It is not causing any problems and I can live with it, but it is annoying, like an unnecessary and unhelpful alarm that rings every day.

Please comment if you have suggestions for getting rid of it. Thanks in advance.
