I have a new HD and installed Linux Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. I installed Thunderbird version 2:1 snap 1-Oubuntu3. The program will not open Just get "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

How to make Thunderbird not display the total number of messages, it's driving my OCD crazy, I've been looking for almost an hour and still can't find where to set this.

I am running Thunderbird vers 127 (I think) on Win 10. When I try to start it all I get is the error -

"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again..".

How do I get back to my profile? All was fine until May 7th when I went on hols but but this happened when I tried to restart on 19th May (so don't think it has updated to vers 128)

Any help much appreciated as this is a complicated profile and would take an age to re-build. (I have got a coy of the relevant profile as a backup)

The version I was using before could put have a layout like this with a simple tweak below: - Accounts - Individual email pane - Message list

I just CANNOT use Thunderbird if I can't do this. How do I do this in Nebula or what version can I revert to? Go to profile folder: Chrome folder userChrome css file Add this: /* puts message page in the middle */

1. threadPaneBox {-moz-box-direction: reverse !important;}

1. I want to put the pane for reading the message in the middle of the layout. I really dislike having to crane my head right all the time.

2. The old css code to enter into Chrome/userChrome.css was:

'/* puts message page in the middle */ threadPaneBox {-moz-box-direction: reverse !important;}'

3. What is the new one? ___________________________________________________________ PERIPHERAL INFO A. I know how to do the rest of it, such as toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets =true B. Change to vertical layout

I am running TB 138 and still have some issues with the layout and UI. How can I customize the spacing and font size for the "From", "To", "CC" and "Subject" fields? I much prefer the old TB interface where all these fields were much closer in terms of spacing, and the subject line font was same the size as the rest, in bold. Any way to customize this?

Thanks in advance.

Because of extensive travel, I always copy my profile folder from one computer to the other so all the accounts' folders are current--including Local Folders. Every time, things are fine. This time, something is off. I know the stmp setting for each account should show the login password for that account. One account is just fine. The other two change each other so I get an error message when trying to send outgoing mail. When I look at the stmp settings, I see that the password for Account A was changed to the password for Account B. If I correct Account B's setting, Thunderbird immediately changes the password for Account A. To send outgoing mail from either account, I must now check which password shows for both accounts.

I've read everything I can find about anything that seems related to my problem but I cannot find my exact problem.

What can I do?

I can't figure out how to get a threaded view for a conversation in Thunderbird to behave the same as a threaded view for a conversation in Outlook.

1. From what I can tell, the ASCENDING setting works as expected: a) Single messages and thread topics in the selected folder are sorted ascending by date b) Messages within a thread are also sorted ascending.

2. The DESCENDING view does this, which I feel is confusing: a) Single messages and thread topics in the selected folder are sorted descending. For threads, it weirdly uses the timestamp of the FIRST message in the thread instead of the most recent message. b) Messages within a thread are sorted ascending instead of descending.

3. I would prefer the DESCENDING view to do this: a) Single messages and threads in the selected folder are sorted descending. For threads, it should use the timestamp of the LAST message in the thread. b) Messages within a thread should be sorted descending instead of ascending.

Is there a way to get behavior 3?

Thanks!

I have been a Thunderbird user for over 10 years and recently my employer has started switching us over to Google Workspace emails. I'm trying to add the email to Thunderbird, but keep getting a blank gray screen (Image 2) in the Google pop-up after clicking "Allow" (Image 1). No error messages are displayed anywhere in the pop-up or in Thunderbird.

I have tried several times with no success. I've tried rebooting, same issue. I've tried disabling all the plugins in Thunderbird, same issue. I've let the screen sit there for over 20 minutes and nothing occurs. I even tried one-time hitting "Deny" and got the same blank screen.

As it is occurring inside Thunderbird itself, I have no way of telling what is going wrong. I know I am signing into my new Google account successfully as I wouldn't reach the page with "Allow".

Anybody know what I can do?

After update 138.0.1 my profile is not "opening" emails.

I can see that im getting emails, i can see that i can send and make new emails, but the emails when i either click or double click them are "white".

I even tried reading the "source code" it shows nothing. I even tried going to the beta channel, but no avail, the issue persists.

Is there a cleanup, any file to delete? something?

Searches and AI tell me to use "Account Actions" on the account settings page but I see no "Account Actions" on my Thunderbird.

Am I just blind? Am I looking in the right place? I could swear I've done this before without any trouble.

I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird since 2003 as my email desktop client.

As of Sunday morning, May 17th, I noticed the following:

• All of my WideOpenWest email accounts (mine, my wife's my son's) downloaded email headers successfully, but did not allow me to see email contents, move email to other folders or delete obvious junk mail via the client interface.
• All of my Archive email suddenly also will display the expected email headers, but content is unavailable through the client interface.
• All my IMAP email access and management behavior works as expected.
• If I copy an email from one IMAP account to the other, all is fine, but if I move that copied email to an Archive folder, its contents become unavailable (the email I copied was the "Mozilla Confirm your account ..." email)

Inspecting the filesystem containing the client data (NAS-based SMB share, using SSH to access NAS filesystem), I can see:

• The Archive folder has both the Filed and Filed.msf files updated with a timestamp consistent with the copy.
• The email contents are available in a format unfamiliar to me, but I can read the contents and show the same below:

<(B2=Mozilla <accounts@firefox.com>)(B3=<Ellided>@<Ellided>.com)(B4

   =Confirm your account)(B5
   =01010196ef885d03-c0d0edd7-b446-43b6-8bc5-8d5eee591202-000000@us-west-2.am\

azonses.com)(84=)(B8=620d)(B9=277)(BA=19204|Mozilla <accounts@firefox.com>)

 (BB=plugin)(BC=14)(BD
   =Open the internet with Mozilla Confirm your account and get the most out \

of Mozilla everywhere you sign in starting with: Firefox on Windows 10 Tuesday\ , May 20, 2025 5:10:13 PM (EDT\) Use this confirmation code: <Ellided> It expires\

in 5 minute)(BE=6176)(BF=nonjunk)(C0=ffffffff)>

• The 'Filed' file contents also seem to be valid and viable. I can provide both if that's helpful.

I checked the underlying file system permissions and the email file attributes (owner, group, access) are all as they should be -- the above copy test results would suggest no problem there.

What are the next diagnostic steps?

Thanks in advance for the help,

AJ

I just installed Thunderbird on a second computer and I'm having serious issues with my email. The install recognized me without having to log in with my password. However almost all the emails are missing with the exception of one folder called Trash. There is nothing in the inbox and no sub-folders are showing. I logged out and then reopened Thunderbird and again it opened without asking for my password. It's very strange and alarming quite frankly. Everything worked quite well on the first computer so what gives with fiasco? Unless somebody comes up with a solid answer and fixes this, it will be the last time I use Thunderbird. Patrick

OS: Windows 10 (64 bit) Thunderbird 128.10.1esr (32bit)

I have used Thunderbird without issue for a few years. Today, my inboxes are partially full and emails have mysteriously disappeared. I opened it in safe mode and all the emails are there. I followed help suggestions to disable extensions and addons. The emails have not returned to my inboxes but still appear in safe mode.

I am not a techie and find this very challenging.

Please please could someone help me? I would be so grateful. Thank you in advance. email: <redacted>@gmx.us Best wishes JJ

I am having a problem with my thunderbird email client. There was an update to the program over night and now when I load thunderbird it is unable to show me the content of emails in any of the folders. I can see the emails in the list and all the folders are shown in the folder tree on the left. Howevr I am not able to access the content of the emails. My thunderbird profile folder is on a network share, this fileserver is a windows based machine. If I copy the profile to my local machine the profile works correctly and I am able to open emails and view the contents. It is only when my profile is on the network that I cannot view the contents of the emails. I ran thunderbird in safe mode and this does not resolve the situation. I have tried to repair the folders but this did not work. I deleted the .msf files but this also did not work. I ran the thunderbird debugger and then tried to access an email, the debugger stopped on the follwing exception: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS: Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsITreeView.setTree]. What could be the problem with my emails?
