I cannot download my emails from my comcast account on my laptop when I am using my mozilla thunderbird account. However, I can download them on my iphone. When I attempt to download onto my laptop, I get a warning stating I need to update my comcast password.

I'm trying to set up our Thunderbird account on a new laptop. I can't seem to do it. It does recognize our email address but I possibly can't remember the right password to continue.

Hi folks.

I have a situation where I need to access an email but it seems to be invisible.

It's supposed to be in the Inbox, and when I do a search the results show it is there, yet it doesn't display or is otherwise accessible. The email dates from 2020.

Thanks.

Not all the time, but enough to be annoying. I delete a message with an attachment and get a message the the attachment will be deleted before I can delete the message. See following image. Running an iMac, 10.14.6. Thanks, Gary

Thunderbird won't start. The framework is there, but "No message found" is displayed and TB is not responding. So I did a backup copy of the current profile, then downloaded and installed (with "Upgrade") 128.7.1esr.exe But the result is the same. What next?

This may have been due to an automatic upgrade to my Windows 11? See attached image.

I am in the process of moving my saved emails from Thunderbird local folders to my email service provider, Runbox.com. I'm using the right-click context menu "Move to" item, moving a few folders at a time.

It's not going well. When I view the list of folders at Runbox using Thunderbird, it's far from what I see when I use RunBox's web interface (V6). Some folders are visible one way and not the other, the hierarchy of folders is different, and so on. It's bad enough now that I'm going to halt this project, until I can clean things up and be certain that I'm not going to lose any emails.

So. When using Thunderbird to look at the list of folders at Runbox, many of the folder names appear in a faint italic font. I'd like to know what this means - I wasn't able to find out anything online about this. Clicking on one of the faint italic folder names does list the expected emails, and I can open them.

Once I understand this, I might be able to improve my understanding of the situation to the point where I can explain things to tech support at Runbox.

Thanks for any assistance :)

Running Tbird 128.x on Windows 10 64 bit. When a calendar reminder pops up, it appears to be near the center of the default screen, even though Tbird itself is on a different monitor (which is much larger and easier to read). Is there a setting or a chrome modification that would allow me to change the popup position? Something like the code below might work...but the issue is the name of the particular css item (is it *popup or *window or *pane?)

1. calendar-reminder-popup {

   position: fixed !important;
   top: 50px !important;
   left: 100px !important;

}

I can run Thunderbird, but new email doesn't load. For example, the most recent email is yesterday at 5:44 pm. What could it be and what can I do? When I shut down last night, my computer did an automatic update. Could that have screwed things up?

We have 3 Email accounts with Orange.fr, who recently blocked them, due to 'Suspicious Activity'. In the process of unblocking them, I unwittingly selected IMAP protocol. I need to re-activate our POP3 accounts and remove the IMAP ones. I've followed your guidence onthis, but get error message "Incoming server already exists" Can you help, please? Best wishes Derek

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've been archiving my e-mail on my Synology NAS for a number of years now. However, my W10 desktop computer died last year and I've had to reinstall Thunderbird on a new W11 PC. I want to get access to all the archived e-mails on my NAS, that is, as they used to appear in Thunderbird under local folders year-by-year. I also want to be able to archive more recent e-mails to the same location. That is, I want to re-establish the same archiving process I had previously, complete with access to the old archives. I've tried to set up the same file path to the NAS under Local Folders in Thunderbird (as far as I can remember - I might not have it correct) but the old archives don't appear. in an attempt to identify the correct file path on the NAS, I've tried to archive a recent message as a test so I can see where it is stored - in Thunderbird the year folder appears under the NAS location under local folders as expected and I can see the message in the message window so it seems to be working but I can't see any new folders or files on the NAS - nothing modified or created with today's date. I'd be grateful for any assistance. Thanks, Kevin

Hi Thunderbird Community,

I started using Thunderbird yesterday. I am using the latest update, 28.7.1esr (64-bit).

I’m encountering an issue with how URLs are displayed in my incoming emails. Instead of showing shortened, clickable links, emails from LinkedIn and other sources display the entire lengthy URLs, which include various codes and symbols. This makes the emails difficult to read.

For example:

https://www.example.com/messaging/compose/?connId=exampleUser&lipi=urn%3Aexample%3Apage%3Aemail_email_accept_invite_digest_02%3Bb6%2FtTggbExample&midToken=AQFfExample&midSig=ExampleSig&trk=eml-email_accept_invite_digest_02-null-0-null&trkEmail=eml-email_accept_invite_digest_02-null-0-null-null-Example~Example~iq-null-null&eid=Example~Example-iq

The URLs show up in their full form rather than as clickable links or with descriptive text. I have checked the settings, but I could not find an option to improve the readability of these URLs.

Can anyone suggest a way to configure Thunderbird to display URLs in a more readable manner, similar to how they appear in Outlook or other email clients?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I've been using Thunderbird on my Win10 PC for many many years, (and donated to Mozilla) and all has been fine till mid December. Emails still work fine on my Android phone and tablet using the Gmail app for my main Gmail email address and K9 app for an old email address, but on my PC using Thunderbird they both suddenly stopped around mid December. I can't give an exact date as I'm now disabled so only use my PC every fortnight or so just to keep everything up to date.

Thunderbird is using the server settings recommended by Melbpc group and they haven't changed for years. I also use Nord VPN which recently underwent what seemed a major upgrade so I turned that off - no difference.

I then tried manually instigating a download of my primary Gmail email on the pc using Thunderbird and watched as it said "connecting to  imap.gmail.com", then "connected to imap.gmail.com" but then nothing happened.

Everything is totally up to date - Win 10, Thunderbird etc..

Can anybody suggest what the cause might be please?
