OS Windows 11 Version of Thunderbird 137.0.1, it was automatically updated Printer: Brother MFC L27130W and it works for all other programs

Hello I wish to send an email with a large attachment, and it suggests that I use Filelink. I have referred to the instructions, but just do not understand them. Is there a simple explanation as to how I can add Filelink, please? Colin

Thunderbird not displaying all new emails in the inbox. New emals are downloaded and visible in all other folders.

Problem started 2 days ago.

Checking on my cellphone using Google chrome on my webmail account new emails are shown.

If I quit Thunderbird and restart the new emails now show in the inbox.

What needs to be done to get All new emails showing up in my Thunderbird Inbox?

Hey, I'll try to keep this brief. Microsoft is forcing me to buy a new PC so as to "upgrade" from Windows 10 to Windows 11. My Windows 10 PC has Thunderbird (128.9.1--it says it's up to date) and it works just fine. I've spent over two hours attempting to set up Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 PC and...no dice. I'm at the end of my tether; I can't afford to waste more time on this. So...

--Thunderbird 137.0.1 (fresh download this afternoon--unclear as to the discrepancy vs. Windows 10 ver.) --Email = ATT --The setup program says it knows who ATT is and has the configuration --When I press "Done" for the setup to get everything going, it spins forever, then says, unhelpfully, "Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." --Needless to say, I've checked everything 48 ways from Sunday; let's assume that my email is correct --So if it's not my email address, that leaves password or configuration, right? --Password: According to Mr. Google's AI (*ahem*) I shouldn't use my regular password, I should use a "secure mail key"...well, that's okay, my regular password wasn't working anyway --Believe it or not, I've got notes on my original secure mail key so I enter that. Doesn't work. I enter the random character string that the secure mail key is supposed to stand for. Doesn't work. --I generate a fresh secure mail key in case the silly things have a shelf life. The new one doesn't work, nor does its random character string. --I then direct my attention to the configuration. Thunderbird said it knew what to do, but...what if? Inbound looks okay, compared to the settings on my old PC and also as recommended by Mr. Google. --Outbound...uh, oh...

Folks, I've tried every permutation that I can think of for passwords and outgoing servers and, lacking any intelligent guidance as to exactly what the problem is, I have no idea what else to try.

I'd appreciate advice as to what to try next, but am no longer hopeful. I may have to move on to another program in an effort to get something that works. I'm falling behind on my day.

Spoiler alert: Don't tell me to curse at the screen or give it the middle finger...I've already tried those approaches and they don't work.

Thanks, Grey

This happened after a Win10 update and caused a PC to auto reboot overnight. User came in and tried to start Thunderbird and there was nothing there. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when Thunderbird opens:

What's weird is, if you go to the address book tab, the email addys are there and if you search for a contact or a keyword in the search bar, it shows the messages. But there's no accounts showing at all. I did some search on Google and I haven't found anything that helps so far. The closest I came to what I was hoping was going to be a solutions was this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1402124

But it doesn't appear that the JS file is corrupt because there are none of the 2 other JS files mentioned in that solution that shows the pref.js file to be corrupted. But if I open that JS file, I get this error:

So I'm not sure if it's corrupted or not? I'm at a loss as to what to try next. I've tried re-importing that profile and I get an error when I try that, so I'm not really sure what direction to go next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the most current version of Thunderbird (128.9.1esr)

Last night, I made some Draft messages, arranged some messages in the Sent folder, and shut down. This morning when I booted up my MBP running MacOS 15.3, and launched T'bird 136, the Sent, Drafts, and Templates folders were not visible at all in T'bird, only the Inbox, Junk, and Trash.

Then I checked the Apple IMAP server using Mail on my iPad, and found those folders there. I use T'bird as my main mail client because I rely on Local Folders, and only superficially use Mail. The Drafts, Templates, and Sent folders of the Local Folders are visible.

I have only one Account, and am not using Unified Folders. This is really scary, as I absolutely rely on T'bird for most of my work.

Every time Thunderbird is launched, a new tab opens with a donation offer. This kind of persistence discourages not only donations, but also the use of Thunderbird. How can I disable this?

the exact wording on the pop-up: Login to server imap.gmail.com with username schaparro@lbl.gov failed

please advise

When recipients receive emails from me it includes all kinds of gibberish. I'm sure it serves a purpose or provides security, but how can I get rid of it so that the messages just show who the email is being sent to and who is sending it and the message and any attachments, without all the other material?

Here is an example of what a sent email looks like and sometimes it is even longer?

Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------T70sa9k2xSo8VvCZ0g0n9hC5" Message-ID: <ce73a725-66d0-476c-b61c-5bc3bb021ece@yahoo.com> Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 10:38:24 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird Content-Language: en-US To: Gerald Jackson <jlclaw@yahoo.com> From: James Alexander, Jr., Esq. <jamesalexanderjresq@yahoo.com> Subject: Diane Merriweather Eviction

When I receive a Meeting Invite over email, I used to have an option of Accept / Reject / Tentative in the email heading itself. The Invitation Bar has disappeared. I have checked that all my calendars are associated with my system email ID. Also, the Config Editor has all correct settings.

How do I bring back the Invitation Bar?

When I click on Thunderbird I get a popup box saying: Thunderbird failed to read config file. Then I click OK and the popup box goes away and Thunderbird loads as normal. How do I ensure that Thunderbird read the config file? Thunderbirds are go!!!

My wife and I both have PCs on a network using an unmanaged switch. We both use Thunderbird as our email client. We would like to merge our calendars. Is that possible?

Thank you for your help.

I'm running Thunderbird on Arch Linux. A few weeks ago the following problem appeared. When I start Thunderbird I can view my calendar as usual, and it is all in place. But once I click off the calendar back to email, any attempt to return to the calendar shows it blank until I restart Thunderbird. My various calendars are listed, but all appear empty, and Tasks are similarly empty. When on my email, the Tasks bar is still working.

I can see a similar question on the forum, to which the solution was to delete calendar add-ons. I have tbSync and its dependency installed; I tried deleting them (by moving the relevant folders out of .thunderbird and restarting) and this did not help. I have also tried reinstalling Thunderbird, which also did not help.

When I am using UNIFIED Inbox in Thunderbird and I use the MOVE TO button at the top it successfully moves the message BUT after the move the MOVE TO button is greyed out and not selectable, so I can not use it again to move another email message to a folder.

Then I have to use the less efficient file menu "Message -> Move to" which works and then when the move is done, mysteriously the MOVE TO button UN-greys and is available for the 3rd message to be moved.

When I do the same thing in any "normal" inbox it does not exhibit this behavior.

Any help is appreciated in fixing this bug.

Set up email list per instructions but get this message error .....TBBIGroup <TbbiGroup> is not a valid email address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email

What did I fail to do?

Starting yesterday 4-3-2025 my Thunderbird email keeps locking up and saying it is not responding. I can close it and open it and then work with it for 2 or 3 minutes and it will start not responding again. This is a consistent problem the last few days. I did check and it said there was an automatic update on 4-2-25. I am not sure if this had anything to do with it but i did go in and request an update about 2 hours ago today. This has not helped as I still consistentaly get the not responding problem. Please advise what I can do to fix this.

Hello again.

I asked this before but still it's not working.

Sometimes E-Mails shown in Thunderbird are missing 50% of the content (first 50%). Today 2 E-Mails got mixed up. So Thunderbird showed 2 E-Mails with the same content but different Subjects. So 1 was wrong. When I logged into my E-Mail Account then it was all ok there. So it must be a Thunderbird Problem or Server-IMAP Problem.

The Question is: How can I tell Thunderbird to re-download this email ?

I was told here this before: "right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. Does that fix it?" Yes that does solve it but this mixes up the view in Thunderbird (columns are resetted), I don't want that.

Is there any way to re-download a specific email ? I really wonder why such a professionel e-mail program lacks such simple function.

Thank you Nico

Dear Sirs, When I move emails that I have sent or received normally to a local folder, I am unable to see the contents of the email at all, and I can no longer move the email back to the inbox to check. I would appreciate some advice on the cause and solution.
