After several hours of trying to figure out why a folder didn't show certain messages, I realised that I had selected a Custom View a few days ago and it still applied quietly when I selected that folder. This is not the first time I fall for it. Is there a way TB would show that a Custom View filtered out some of the messages? Eg the Custom View button could be depressed, or the background in the messages pane would be different, or something. As it is now, I think I won't use the feature again and save myself hours of scratching my head in the future.

First some feedback on your website, the URL is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form If you are going to present the user with a list to select from, as you do in your selection list, "Which topic best describes your question?" ALWAYS present the user with an OTHER option. Despite you ego, thinking you can cover all the bases that a user will want to send you a message about, YOU CAN'T!!! Make sure ALL selection lists have an Other option on your website.

My version to Thunderbird, 140.9.0esr (64-bit), running under Linux (OpenSuSE 15.6) has developed a problem with the Trash folder. Despite the fact that I am deleting email messages or moving them to the Trash folder, nothing is showing up in the Trash folder, even though the messages do seem to be getting deleted or moved from the source folder. Also the Trash folder is always showing me I have 99 unread messages in it.

I have tried to repair the Trash folder, but no joy. So how do I determine what's bugging my trash folder, and how do I get it to behave itself once again? Thanks in advance for all thoughtful replies and responses!

Hello,

There is apparently a bug in the latest release of Thunderbird, which has broken the callbacks for Yahoo! IMAP email using OAuth. Potentially, it may actually be a problem with Yahoo!, and how https://api.login.yahoo.com is attempting to reopen Thunderbird after logging in, as the process has changed. I've already reverted back to the ESR Thunderbird channel once, but on a recent update the issue was reintroduced. Screenshots are included.

Thanks for any assistance.

I've developed a thunderbird add on. Now I need an extension ID I've read https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/extensions-and-the-add-on-id/

So how do I get an extension ID?

Yes, this outlook account was made earlier this year. I've tried all of the "fixes" offered on here and across the internet. I'm changed to to password and got the app password. I've deleted 2FA to see if that would work. I've deleted the Oauth key and it refreshed to a new one. I've done it all and TB-sync is not available to me cus apparently now i'm right outside the app version limit.... how convenient. It's very frustrating as i really like the app and still use it to read my emails but it's very annoying to have to open the outlook app and go through all that just to send an email. I keep getting told it is possible, i've been battling this on and off for months. I cant just get a new email either as i already swapped everything to the outlook one and my work using out look as well. i am able to sync my calendar even but apparently just not my outgoing emails. I would like to transfer my email but the other email i have is a proton email and they are a whole other headache. Please help.

OS: Linux / Android

TB Version: 156.0

Current Outgoing Server Setup:

Server Name: smtp-mail.outlook.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Auth Method: OAuth2 Username: *****@outlook.com

I am running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

For a long time now, Thunderbird often runs at high CPU (80-100% of one core), for several minutes at a time (5-10 minutes). This seems to happen many times every day, with no apparent cause from my end. (I just got back from Lunch, and the fan on my laptop was going crazy because of the high CPU.)

What can we do to identify and fix this issue?

mein TThunderbird meldete vor ca 20 Minuten Thunderbird cannot be loaded.It may be Missing or iaccessable. Gesten ging TB noch. Was kann die Ursache sein? Ich benutze LINUX MINT ZENA.

Hello Thunderbird community,

I have released Easy Table Editor by Cardella, a free and open-source extension created to make HTML table editing easier inside Thunderbird's message composer.

The extension adds a table editor directly beside the message formatting controls and includes:

• Mouse-drag selection of multiple cells • Simultaneous formatting of selected cells • Column and row resizing with the mouse • Row and column insertion or removal • Cell merging and splitting • Header-cell conversion • Text, background, border and alignment controls • Clean, modern table templates • The ability to save the current table as a reusable model • Interface localization in ten languages

The extension works locally. It does not use analytics, tracking, external servers or remote resources. Saved table models remain in Thunderbird's local storage.

Thunderbird Add-ons page: https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/easy-table-editor-by-cardella/

Compatibility: Thunderbird 151 or newer.

This is a personal and independent project. I would appreciate feedback from the community, especially about usability, compatibility and features that would make HTML table editing better.

Thank you! Henrique Cardella

Noticed in LM, the last couple Tbird versions, the context menu doesn't close, when click anywhere on active window, away from the context menu. Happens if R click a message in thread pane, or pretty much anywhere else that R clicking opens a menu.

• Only* hitting Esc key closes it.

Could be a profile issue? (but isn't due to theme used in Tbird - tested several, incl. native w/ Tb package).

Normally, opening a context menu, then L clicking anywhere inside the active window, closes the context menu (how it works in Firefox).

Also, opening a context in Tbird (if don't close it), switch to another app, the Tbird context menu shows on top that app.

I have the latest T-bird installed on a latest version linux Mint laptop and occasionally get puzzling errors on Yahoo mail.

Mostly it all works, but Yahoo email errors are often enough to be bothersome and I can't find any information on the rather obsure errors. Been this way through many t-bird and Linux releases.

My other email accounts don't seem to have a problem (gmail, outlook) on any t-bird instances. Just Yahoo mail on Linux Mint t-bird. Here are the errors:

"Please try later" and apparent timeouts on Yahoo mail (on t-bird, of course). This is obvious, but it doesn't happen on my Win 11 and Android T-bird programs.

Operation on yahoo "inbox" did not succeed. Yahoo mail server responded "p." (Yes, just "p.")

Operation on yahoo "inbox" did not succeed. Yahoo mail server responded "UID FETCH completed"

These errors don't seem to happen on Android t-bird or Win 11 t-bird on the same accounts, but I'm not on those for very long.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Out of the blue Google started blocking one of my Gmail accounts on Linux Mint. It's been running fine for months. The rest run fine. It kept giving me this error message.

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I installed that account on my windows box with exactly the same information. I cut and pasted it in fact. It went right through with no problems.

It's one of my main accounts and it's dead in the water. I deleted it and tried to reinstall it and I have exactly the same problem. Setup information. Hit continue. "Configuration found" Click done. Goes to "Sign in to continue to Mozilla Thunder bird Email" Put in email address. Click next and I get that error message. Help?

Captain Quack.

A few times I have missed messages that have have been inadvertently placed in the Accounts Spam Folder. Is it possible to to indicate that the Spam Folder has contents in the same way contents are indicated in other Account Folders?
