I cannot use Thunderbird to work at all with Yahoo, though it does work with yahoo. FWIW, Yahoo does work with Firefox.

Thunderbird used to work, maybe several weeks ago. When I tried to set it up again, it kept asking me to enter my pin, and it said I could reset my pin under sign in options, but there is no place I could find sign in options.

I deleted my yahoo account from Thunderbird, then tried to add a new account for Yahoo.

I dual boot two Linux OSes (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Pop!OS). They both share the same ~/.mozilla/firefox and ~/.thunderbird directories. In Pop, clicking a link in a message opens up a new tab in Firefox. Then I boot Tumbleweed, where the same versions (128 esr, 138.0 release channel) of both clients are installed. Now if I click the "get help" F1 or any https link in TB, a new window opens with "target=_top" rather than "target=_blank". So basically have to copy/paste links into a new tab manually, *but* only in the Tumbleweed instance.

I installed Chromium and set it as default browser. Guess what? Works just great! I guess I could just live with that configuration, only I'd like Firefox to be my default browser. What could I do? I tried all the steps in [guide] and would appreciate ideas or guidance from this forum.

Thanks! Alex

I recently converted from Outlook to Thunderbird and use a Local Folder to maintain most of my emails. Everything seemed to run well for the first few days, but then I realized most emails being automatically copied by filters are showing up 2 blank messages (same subject/date/time/etc.). I get the occasional 12/31/1969 email as well. Oddly, when I run the filters manually, the process works flawlessly and have never resulted in duplicated blank messages or a 1969 email.

Any opinions on why an automatically-ran filter corrupts most emails but manual runs are fine? The behavior is bad enough I'm considering switching back to Outlook. This is such a basic function it causes me doubt in Thunderbird's ability to safely manage my emails.

Notes: - Using Proton Mail Bridge - Latest Thunderbird/latest Proton Mail Bridge with no add-ons or extensions - Repairing or compacting the associated Local Folder doesn't fix any message. The only 'fix' is to manually re-copy the affected message from my server, then delete the corrupt copies. - The filters are set to run with new email - Each filter copies the message to the Local Folder, then moves the message to the server's Trash. This two-step action is because Proton Mail Bridge does not allow third-party clients to move messages out of the server--if you do this, it orphans the email in their All Mail folder and become a mess to clean up. - After extensive research, I thought my folders were corrupt so I completely rebuilt the Local Folder structure. All messages were moved into new folders and the original folders were deleted. - Each folder is a few hundred MB, total Local Folder size is less than 7GB

Problem: I want to forward a received email to a list I have made. The list is located in my address book. First I click "forward" on the email in question, which is now waiting for addresses. Then I highlight each entry in the list I want to forward the email to. When I click "write", however, a new email appears and the email I want to forward is not included. Perhaps I should create an email containing the list first and then try to attach the email I want to forward, but that isn't obvious to me. It seems to me that in the past I could mark an email to be forwarded, then go to the address book, right click on the title of the list and then click "BCC". But this option seems to be missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Jack

I'm running Thunderbird 138.0.3 (release update channel). I had an update in the past few days and now it is having a problem. Thunderbird starts OK but it I use another program for several minutes when I go back to Thunderbird its window is not visible. Looking at my system monitor Thunderbird is using a lot of CPU. The only way I can proceed is to kill Thunderbird from the system monitor. No crash report is generated. Running in safe mode does not help.

If I run Thunderbird from a terminal I get: $ thunderbird [64132] Sandbox: CanCreateUserNamespace() unshare(CLONE_NEWPID): EPERM ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.

This seems pertinent as it it to do with graphics but the web seems to suggest it in not important.

I have copied the Troubleshooting information to a text file and so can share it but it is quite large does not seem appropriate to include it here.

Any help gratefully received.

I am no longer receiving calendar notifications for events which are entered as "all day" events on my Google calendar.

I had a similar problem about three years ago when I wasn't receiving notifications for ANY events on my Google calendar. I attempted to solve this problem in a similar fashion by uninstalling/reinstalling Thunderbird then disconnect/reconnecting Google Calendar as discussed in the following link, but the All Day events' notifications still are not appearing.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397571

As a debugging step/temporary solution (so I don't miss notifications), I have integrated my Google Calendar with Outlook, and am receiving notifications correctly with that app, so the problem doesn't appear to be on the Google end.

我的邮件客户端为128.7.1，用的时IMAP协议。在客户端界面显示收件箱（包括收件箱下级文件夹）总共大小为78GB,但是在%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹却有恐怖的795GB！！！我尝试压缩收件箱但显示只压缩了7.5GB。。有人知道这是什么问题吗？我应该怎样减小%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹的大小？谢谢。

Just lately, my gmail sent emails are going into trash folder and not being stored in the sent mail folder. In account settings, under Copies & Folders, I have the box checked for to "Place a copy in" and have tried both "Sent" folder and Other "Sent Mail". But the sent messages are not staying store in either of those files.

Most attachments come through as application/octet-stream which I should be perfectly able to view via "gnome-text-editor" or "gedit" etc. I want to be given the option to use one of these.

I don't see any mechanism in the menus to allow this, though. The "application/octet-stream" is conspicuously absent from the content-type list, which is absurd since that's what 99% of all attachments are recognized as.

Note that I want this as an *OPTION* to going through the steps of downloading and then viewing the file.

I normally use Fedora but my Fedora machine died yesterday. For a time being I want to use Thunderbird on my Mac.

I have a backup of my thunderbird profile directory from Fedora 42. This corresponds to thunderbird-128.8.0. On the other hand, the current version on the mac is thunderbird-138.0.2.

1. Since the version number is higher on the mac I think I will be able to use the old 128.8.0 profile with the new mac version ?

2. If I do this, I will not be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora when I get it working again (because the version number there is lower) ?

3. Is there a way from me to install thunderbird-128.8.0 on the Mac so that I will be able to transfer my profile back to Fedora ?

When I receive an e-mail that has a JPEG attachment (Windows 10 Professional 64-bit), Thunderbird opens the JPEG image with Microsoft Photo Viewer. When the image opens, I cannot rotate the image. If I save the image and then open that saved image via the same Microsoft application, the rotate icon in the upper left is operative. Is this due to the permissions in the image being opened by Thunderbird from alt/local/temp? Thanks.

Sometimes I'll get an email that will not open to read. And it is at random doing this.

What I see is this. In Outlook it is shown but will not open. While I get the same email in "gmail", it will open. If I open it in gmail and go back to outlook, it is now open. If I open another email in outlook and then go back to the one that does not open. It will not open again.

Does not make sense, does anyone have a "fix" for this problem? Thanks ahead for any suggestions or solutions.

Shortly after my Win10 x64 ver 22H2 update on tuesday 5/13, my Tbird fails to save any sent message with an attachment to the local sent folder. It is sent correctly and saved with attachment in the IMAP server's sent folder. The same message sent with no attachment will correctly be saved to the local sent folder as it should. In both cases the message "saving to sent folder" is displayed. The TB version was just updated to 128.10.2esr (64-bit) and issue continued as before. PC restarts make no difference. SFC system scan finds no issues. Had no issues with this PC & TB over last 5 years until now. Issue is annoying, since I frequently use the local sent folder to forward messages to additional recepients.

Hi I have been used to Thunderbird responding to my beginning to type recipient names with a list of matches. Suddenly it has stopped doing so. I have checked that all my addresses are still present in the Address Book (relief!), but I note that the Contacts sidebar is completely empty (even the Address Book options are missing). I can't find a setting to correct this, and would be very grateful to know how to revert to the previous good performance. Thanks

Hi. I donate 20 bucks a month to Thunderbird. Love it.

Was wondering if there is a way to disable the "support thunderbird" pop ups that always occur upon launch.

Much obliged.

I have an event yesterday with a notification on Google calendar.

I start up email today. Notification pops up. I cannot dismiss the notification.

I edit the event to remove the notification. On Thunderbird - but it won't save. So I go to Google calendar and remove the notification.

On Google calendar, it says I have no notification for this event. On Thunderbird it will NOT let me remove the notification.

Now every time i open thunderbird, the notification pops up. Short of deleting the event (which I do not want to do because I want a record of it on my calendar), there is NO way to make this stop.

I have had this problem pop up periodically for the last 18 months. (Unfortunately, it's getting bad enough with no fix I will need to find a different email/calendar application).

Any ideas how to fix? (Can we get the bug fixed in the code?)
