Thunderbird Community Forum

When I double click on an email in my inbox, a new reply email is being displayed with a yellow message across the bottom saying:

   "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity XXXXXXXXXX."

This happens only on my default account.

What can I do to get the email opened in a new tab as a default? See the attached context menus

Thunderbird: 140.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro

I was forced to erase my PC because it was infected with malware. I saved my Tbird profile to my HDD before erasing. I pasted the saved profile to %Appdata% >Thunderbird, copying 1,777 items. When I brought up Tbird, I got the Account Setup window, so I don't think the profile was actually there. What did I do wrong?

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to move some eMails from the inbox to one specific Storage Folder. I seem to be able to move messages to any Storage Folder I want, except for this one, single Storage Folder.

There must be something in that Storage Folder settings that deny a move. What could it be?

The subject says it all. I am expecting to see a link to page(s) that describe how to create an account and supply the necessary details. I managed to create an account for outlook, but can't repeat the process for AOL/verizon for what eve reason,

How is this supposed to work? I am hoping to have a couple of folders from my IMAP configured email account automatically synchronized to LOCAL FOLDERS. But under the 'Synchronization' tab there are not a lot of options, and really only a 'download' button. But does that really synchronize? prevent duplicates? Someone smarter than me, please advise? Thanks in advance John

Hi, Can't understand what's happening with "search" I find in "account" a "none" with 2 old mails I thought effaced, but on clicking "can't have a value" the titles and first lines are shown, however on clicking on title I get "no message found" same with "show as a list" These 2 mails are also in a folder with same problem. How can I clear up and try to understand "search"

I'm using version 140.0.1esr on macOS Sequoia 15.3.2. The problem is very simple. When I compose an email, hitting return puts me at the center of the next blank line. If I type, the text is all centered from this point on. Thunderbird didn't do this in the past, so I either inadvertently changed a setting, or the behavior of Thunderbird has recently changed.

I really have no desire to spend time getting to know Thunderbird better. Like most people, I want to compose completely unstructured text-based email. (If I ever wished to add structures, which I doubt I ever will, I'd prefer markdown to HTML, like everyone else in the known universe ...)

Ideally: there is an easy fix by changing a setting. Second best: There is an alternative email program to Thunderbird, perhaps text based, that can read Thunderbird mail archives. Third option: There is an early version of Thunderbird that still runs on current versions of Mac, before Thunderbird began including text formatting in email composition (along with all of the other distractions that have be degrading the quality of Thunderbird for a very, very long time).

Why is everything broken after an update? So annoying and prevent me from making a donation.

There are 3 buttons, none of which are useful.

Can anyone free me of this Welcome to Freedom?

I have used Thunderbird for years. Within the last couple of weeks I have noted 2 issues. 1st is the calendar issue with Reminder function. Reminder that have been listed w/ reminders, and repeated, for awhile, suddenly don't have the REMINDERS activate. They have in the past. Now, old events with REMINDERS, don't have the reminders activating. Nothing on the event listing has changed. I have reentered the event listing with no success in getting the reminder to activate. Interestingly enough, it doesn't affect ALL the events: just some. Same with ALL NEW EVENTS. Sometimes the event reminder activates and sometime not. Checked all the settings, version is up to date. I'm flummoxed.

2nd is addressing email. Names I have had in my address book for years, while coming in during auto-fill, are asterisked as not in the address book. I have reentered an asterisked listing but it still shows as not in the address book. Once again, it doesn't affect all listing, just some. I haven't anything & the version is up to date.

I've got a gremlin somewhere, but not adept enough to take a deep dive into operational settings.

I'm using thunderbird on windows on PC and on my lap, on lap i dont have monthly calendar on side panel just today date, when i click bottom oriented arrow monthly calendar is popup without signatures of events, how can i put this calendar to stay on sidebar with events like on my PC, also i tested width of this panel, thought if i make it wider it will show but no :c

I try to access my messages from an outlook.com account with Thunderbird mac. I get the error message "the STAT command did not succeed". This happened suddenly today without changing any parameter. POP is enabled on this account. Moreover on another mac with Thunderbird everything is correct with the same account. Cookies are enabled I tried changing OAuth2 to normal and changing back. No sucess. What could I try next? Thanks.

The last few days most of my emails have been tagged as ***SPAM*** and automatically moved to my Junk folder. I have to be sure to check that folder. I've tried "training the app by moving valid email to the inbox but the problem persists.

I am unable to modify the font color that I see in a email. However, it shows for others. And it copy/pastes - I can change a sentence to blue, it will appear to me black, I can send it to another and they see blue; copied to me I still see black. I can copy the text and put it into word, alter it, put it back in Tbird and it all seems black to me all along, but when I send to another, they see blue. (I should maybe put it in a text editor to inspect code there???)

But I think a clue is - apologies if this is a misdirect, but just before noticing all this, it happened that when I used Constant Contact to send me a test email, the background color of that newsletter is clear -- no color. MORE, when I lookup old emails that had the same background color, while once they were colored, they now appear all clear to me. More, when I go to the gmail server, those test emails look fine there. Others receiving the tests fo not have the color problem. Oh, and the "real" newsletter also still has the color problem, when sent to me and viewed in Tbird.

SO. It is a my-Tbird problem.

I have tried to follow old threads, looking for old settings regarding color and overriding; cannot do it.

I am using Tbird 140.0.2

Can anyone please help me? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Also, tried the window-closing order-of-operations thing (for font color change) but it's really not that at all....

Also, following others' threads, I got into a colors setting and tried resetting that to default but the problem persists.
