Thunderbird - Why Does the Dark theme have black writing on a black background?

I have eye issues so a glaring white background is difficult for me but the theme I used to use the dark mixed system one (or dark one) has black writing when I try to look at details in my 'Tasks' and calendar details, why is this?

I had to upgrade my phone and in the process the passwords were lost. Starting over. Now I cannot adjust thunderbird to get anything. It is supposed to go to an area allowing password update but all I get is a blank screen. Any help is appreciated.

my inbox folder and all folders below it has dropped down about 7 folders from right below my email address. how to get it back up to where it has been for years? thanks, [redacted phone# from community support forum]

I've tried the recommended solution for this problem--changing the "security.tls.version,min" from 3 to 1 without luck.

I don't have a problem with Apple Mail on my iPhone.

When I try to access the web version from my Windows machine using Firefox I receive a message "serious security issue with webmail.dca.net. When I try it from a MAC, using Firefox I am able to access mail.

Thanks for any insight you can provide

I am using the correct password but it keeps saying " Login to server imap.comcast.net with username [redacted]@comcast.net failed.". I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I am working with thunderbird on two locations and have problems moving contents between address books and entering new contacts into address books.

On location A I have created a mailing list X under my personal address book. I could fill it by copy/paste address and name from mails received. Then I created a cardav address book Y and somehow (ctrl + left mouse?) succeeded to drag and drop the entries from X to Y and synchronized it with a nextcloud cardav file.

Now I went to location B, created a cardav address book with the same credentials as on location A and got the Y addresses synchronized.

So far, so good.

Then I tried to enter new addresses in location B into this Y online address book. Problem - I could not find a way to add new contacts into a line with copy/paste like into the X mailing list in location A. New contacts could only be added via the "New Contact" form, no copy/paste.

Then I created a mailing list in my personal address book with the same name X. I could not find a way to copy the content of the online address book Y into this list (on location B). When I tried with ctrl-left button drag and drop, the target mailing list X was forbidden. Only copying to my personal address book would be possible. But at least this mailing list X offered again the copy and paste possibility in one line, but unfortunately the list was empty.

Then I tried it with export/import. I exported Y from the online book to a vcf file on my computer, then tried to import the file to my mailing list X, but I could not find a way to import the file to the mailing list X.

I can create a new address book and move the contents of the cardav book to it. But adding new contacts is possible only via the "New Contact" form where I cannot just copy/past addresses from emails.

Any suggestion how I can work with my mailing list contacts on both locations and easily enter new contacts with copy/paste from mails without having to use the form?

In spite of my settings (see image attached), since about a week ago, T'bird has not reliably shown the unread message alert nor shown the unread symbol on the task bar.

I hate Thunderbird since the new update. and don't know why they had to screw-up something that worked perfectly fine. Very frustrated!!! and don't know how to fix it without removing my account, saved passwords and all the other advice online. I never had a problem with Thunderbird and have used it for many years.

11/1 I had dozens of folders, thousands of e-mail, and probably two dozen rules. It was all gone. I restored connection with my vendor's IMAP server and after a day of downloading everything. It took so long I never was able to work. 11/2 I brought up Thunderbird to see what looked like a full Inbox, but no folders. I also had my rules restored. Again, several thousand e-mail had to be downloaded, since only their subjects displayed but no content when any message was clicked. 11/3 I was unable to work, so today 11/4 I opened Thunderbird to see my account with profile details (server info, etc), but no folders, e-mail, nor rules, but no response when I try to download e-mail. Testing the server link succeeds. I do not understand some of these articles on profile, since I have nothing they seem to refer to. I think I see a profile (original???), but Thunderbird doesn't seem to. Account is complete...

I can not down load Emails from Yahoo to Thunderbird. Every things was fine as of Aug 26th. On Aug 27th with no changes to any system settings the Yahoo Emails would not down Load. I am running Win 10 on my system. I disabled the antivirus. Reloaded Thunderbird - no effect.

I have since deleted Thunderbird and then reinstalled  latest version of Thunderbird (154.0) .
I re-entered my password. I checked the OAuth2  settings and they are set as described in the support article "OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT". 

Message bar at bottom of Thunderbird screen shows: Myaccountname@yahoo.com:Downloading message 1 of 7 The emails do not down load - then after a few minutes - a no messages to download message flashes and then blank - nothing

I am out of Ideas. Anyone?

Auf der Öffnungsseite erscheint normalerweise links ein schmaler Streifen mit den ganzen Ordnern, wie Posteingang, gesendet usw. mit der jeweiligen Anzahl der E-Mails. Im übrigen Feld rechts daneben sind alle E-Mails einzeln aufgeführt. Jetzt erscheint manchmal auf der Öffnungsseite eine andere Ansicht, ähnlich wie die Konteneinstellungen. Mit mehreren Versuchen kreuz und quer gelingt es dann wieder die normale Ansicht zu erhalten. Vermutlich habe ich mal irgendeine falsche Taste gedrückt, so daß sich die Ansicht plötzlich geändert hat. Könnte sich das Problem lösen, wenn ich Thunderbird neu installiere oder gibt es eine einfachere Lösung?

can not get my email account a us.exg7.exghost.com set up inTthunderbird. acts like it set up the outgoing server but not the domain or in comming server.

show me how I can persuade Thunderbird to recognise my mail address, as it always has in the past. This started on 17 October, when internet hacks were reported. Possible connection?

Over the past few days, the format for emailing seems to have changed on my PC, an error message keeps coming up saying: Error occurred connecting to imap.talktalk.net, I have tried to follow Google advice but it doesn't seem to have made any difference, I can still send and receive emails, but have to wait for all my old emails to load before I can do this, I'm a novice and a pensioner, please help Thank you

With Google traduction: I've changed my password four times using an Infomaniak email address ending in @ik.me, and it's never recognized! What should I do? Thanks.

I am a bit of a noob, and probably out of my depth, so please bear with me. It also is a bit of a confusing situation so I hope that I can explain it clearly.

A while ago, Thunderbird stopped working. Whenever I tried starting it up, I got an error message saying that Thunderbird wasn't responding. I thought there might be a problem with some update so I decided that I would reinstall the program. As I went to back up my profile, I found out that there were actually two profile folders where in the past I would only find one. I chose to back up both, and procede with de- and re-installing Thunderbird. After doing so I tried to integrate the old profiles back into the new installation. At first, I chose the largest of the to profile maps and copied it where I found it before the re-installation. I created a new profile using the old profile folder through the User Profile menu. This seemed to work! However, I noticed something. I have two e-mail accounts running in this profile. One IMAP and one POP. I noticed that the POP account was missing about a years worth of old e-mails. As if it stopped saving them at some point. I figured they must be in the other profile folder I found before the re-installation. I tried creating a new profile with this profile but when starting up Thunderbird afterwards I once again got the 'Thunderbird isn't responding' message. So I reverted back to the first profile I made, the one with the missing e-mails. Appart from those e-mails, it seemed to be working well. To get back what was missing, I tried copying the files in the "inbox.sbd" of the back up that wasn't responding into the back up that was responding, thinking that if it messed something up, I could just CTRL + Z my way out of trouble. It seemed that there were three locations in the functioning back up that I could copy the files into, each having the server name of the e-mail account that I was missing e-mails from. I tried copying the files in each of them, each time removing the files through 'undo' before trying the next location. As this seemed unsuccesfull I tried restarting Thunderbird again (having removed the copied files from all locations) which resulted in the following error message:

In a pink screen that I have never seen before. After this I tried removing all profiles and starting again with a fresh copy of the backed up profile folder as I figured I might have accidentally changed something in the profile folder I was using. This however keeps giving the same error message.

Clearly, I messed something up. But I don't know what. Can anybody help? One last thing I noticed that in the 'Mail' folder within the profile folder, there where three folders with the server name before, now there is only one. I guess this is a clue?

All help is welcome!
