My Thunderbird calendar refuses to display dates in European format, namely day-month-year. I have read lots of helpful hints on the forums and tried everything, but nothing changes. My system is Ubuntu 25.04 with Cinnamon 6.4.8. Thunderbird version is 140.3.0esr (64-bit). Some of the suggestions refer to settings that are no longer there compared to earlier versions. For example, Settings > General > Language and Fonts has no format options. I have also used the config editor while TB was not running and added ntl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short and ntl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short, without any effect. Dates in the calendar still always appear in the illogical American month-day-year format. This is confusing, to say the least ! Has a solution been found to EASILY select the locale and formats that should be used? At the moment, the settings are under different menus and in different locations, and TB seems to be making it as difficult as possible to get these set - permanently ! - to the user's preference.

I'm using Win 11 and ver 140.3.1esr (64 bit)

Thunderbird works perfectly except for just one thing. Every time I write any email it freezes after about 2 minutes. If it's a short email, it gets sent. If it's longer, before I can get to the end, the program freezes, and I have to use Task Manager to stop it. No problem receiving and reading emails. This started about a month ago.

I use Bitdefender, but it still happens with that off. Windows is up to date. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

I am running Thunderbird version 140.3.1esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 Pro machine. Software and operating system fully up to date.

Followed instructions global junk settings. There simply is no such caption in my privacy settings. What's become Global junk setting?

Hi I was using TB 142 without problems. When upgrading to 143 ou 144.B4 I have problems sending mails to all users after some times. Usually the first mails are sent immediatly but after around 10 mails, I have very slow response (varies from 5 sec to more than 1 minute and sometimes timeout). Usually quitting TB solves the problem but this is very annoying. I went back to 140LTS and sems to have no longer this problem. This was tested on many diffrent networks. I am running under Fedora release 42

Thanks

Hi, I am a Building Inspector so take lots of photos and email a lot of documents. I try and delete all inbox and save sent items to a local folder on my computer, but my I phone storage still says that they are not actually deleting from the email program and are being stored somewhere. How do I reduce this storage? I can't download any more Iphone updates because of this.

I have been trying all week to figure out how to export all of my contacts from my gmail account. I have downloaded Thunderbird and followd the step to export all emails. But, now what? I can't do the simple export contacts through adddress book, because there were no saved contacts in their to begin with. How do I export the addresses in the emails so that I can use those contacts to export into CSV????

Hello:

I'd like to sync my address books across several computers and my Android phone.

I don't know about the security of Carddave or Exchange, like, is the traffic encrypted, and is the database at the cloud end encrypted too.

Since I can log on to my Google account, and see and edit my address book, I expect those address are not encrypted.

Rather, I'd like to use my syncing program (Mega) to sync the sqllite files (I guess T-Bird used to call them MAB files) and any other needed files directly.

Question 1) How do I find the name of the address book (abook-n.sqlite-wal) related to the name like "Family Contacts"?

Question 2) What other files will I need to sync? any index files? a master list?

Question 3) If I install Thunderbird for Android, where should I put these files so Android finds them?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and any help you may offer.

Mark.

Lightning Strikes again.

As soon as TB upgraded to 143 I had the following problems:

1. Half my folders disappeared. In this day and age, where emails are "official documents" to prove communications.... 2. I could not delete any email, folder. 3. I could not create a folder.

So, I deleted that installation and reinstalled TB.

Same issues. NO CHANGE with a clean install.

Hi,

I just cannot find any information on how Thunderbird designers see the Threads / Threading features to be used. How would I use it ? What are my (individual) choices for configuration ? etc.

The only info I can find is : [how to manage and turn on/off the feature].

...and of course lots unhappy user voices across the forums.

So: How would I use it ? What are my (individual) choices for configuration ? etc. Please link the respective Mozilla resource (blog, help, user design doc, ... whatever).

Ah, to start with, a description of how the feature is meant to behave, can be a start. (Sorry, I was just too stupid to find that)

We've successfully set up a Hotmail account as an IMAP account; all the emails/folders seem to appear properly, though deletions made on Outlook.com don't seem to show up.

But for now, we have this problem: none of the contacts from the Hotmail account appear in the Thunderbird address book.

How can we (1) get those contacts and (2) keep them up to date, preferably automatically.

Thank you.

Hi, I have my calendar connected to my Google calendar. It works great in both ways. I can add in Thunderbird and it show up in Google and vice versa. But one issue, when I get a meeting invitation and I accept, it always get in the "Home" calendar and not in my Google one. I have tried to sort them with my Google at top, and if I delete all other calendars it can not be saved at all. And can not find any other settings.

Any suggestions? Or is it just not possible? Maybe a function for a coming update? Or have I just missed out some obvious?

Best regards /Mike

I uninstalled thunderbird because my emails before the 16th of September were missing. When I tried to download a new version, I get asked for a donation and then after closing that screen, the app is not downloaded. I have checked in my downloads in the browser and it is not there. I have tried in an incognito window and I have the same problem.

How do I fix this please so I can download it and reinstall it?

I want to set up two filters on my account (I have several) such that all incoming mail is sent to a Local folder "All Mail" and a further filter that will route all sent mail to a local folder "Sent mail". I have set up the incoming filter which works fine on the In box but, when I try to set up a further filter to work on the Sent folder it changes the setting for the incoming mail to work on the sent folder. How do I configure filters to work on two different folders on the same account because, when I select the "Run selected filter on", it applies the selection to all filters? Am I missing something?? what I want is.....

In box filter. Match all messages run on in-box Move messages to Local Folder "All Mail"

Sent Mail Match all messages run on Sent Move all messages to Local Folder "Sent Mail"

Any help appreciated.

I am getting the following message when trying to get my emails.

'The certificate for imap.gmail.com does not come from a trusted source'

What can I do?
