Thunderbird Community Forum

All my read emails are showing on the top bar of my thunderbird. I have to scroll left past multipee tabs to get to my inbox. This just started recently and at the same time email replies started showing up under the original. can I turn these features off.

Thunderbird just updated and the next time I opened it all of the folders I created and the emails I'm storing within them are missing. I found my profile as directed. I'm not sure if I have a backup of it. I've included the screenshot as you ask for. I know that those folders and emails are there as I was playing around with the the 3 lines > View and when I moved between the different choices I saw my folders/emails are all in there.

Any assistance you can provide is appreciated!

Ever since last 2 windows updates, thunderbird always asks for passwords and authorization for google calendar...this happens when you restart the computer and when you log out of thunderbird and log back in....this never happened before I uninstalled thunderbird and reinstalled it and it keeps happening is there a fix?

I utilize a program to scan business cards and need to add these contacts into my contact list in Thunderbird. I know how to add them if the VCF Card is received inside an email as an attachment, but I do not see any instructions on how to add it if it is found locally on my computer or received by text, etc. Thanks in advance, Ken

Hi, After recent Thunderbird update Shift + F5 nor Get new messages for all accounts IMAP doesn't work. I've synchronisation on. When I start Thunderbird it gets messages fine.

Installed Thunderbird Setup 153.0.3 and npw when running t-bird get a prompt asking abut a 'thundermail" address. Please advise.. What is "thundermail" and why is it in my way? I am a regular donor to T-bird sent several, emails addressing the "thundermail" weirdness and thus far no reply. .

Hi, I have two accounts in my Thunderbird. They are Gmail (regular gmail account) and CFCC (an institutional account). The CFCC shows up in my Unified Folder list but the Gmail does not. Is that normal? The main Inbox is showing all incoming emails from both accounts so no performance issues, just wondering how to get rid of the CFCC (if that's possible) to eliminate clutter. Thank you. GES

I've just recently (over the past 10 days) been notified about 3-4 times a day by Windows Defender which flagged "something" as Trojan:HTML/ScrInject.AW!MTB in "file" %temp%/newmsg.

That's where my copy of Tbird puts temp files. Closing it stops this behavior. Uninstalling and reinstalling w/out deleting my profile caused the same behavior, but uninstalling and cleaning out my profile files seems to have stopped this behavior.

I only have one extension, Compact Headers, and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

For some time now two Thunderbird Icons have displayed in my Windows task bar. One opens the program I have used for years as normal but the other opens a sign-in screen requiring a user name and password. Today only one version appears and that is the sign in screen. After a lot of steps -including a request for Thunderbird to access my Google account I finally got access to the two e-mail accounts I keep on "my" Thunderbird but the display is far harder to read than the earlier one. After I exited the program I found to re-open it I got the same log-on screen??? How can I access the Mozilla program I am familiar with?

I can receive outlook e-mail but I cannot send from Thunderbird. I am asked for a password for the specific Microsoft server. I enter my Microsoft account password but this does not work. Security setting is STARTTLS withNormal Password authentification. My other Thunderbird non-MS e-mails are problem free.

Currently using TB 153.0, Win 11 on desktop PC.

In past versions there was a progress bar on right end of the status line, along bottom edge of the screen, that showed progress while TB was compacting folders. That bar hasn't been visible in last few updates.

When prompted today, I allowed TB to start compacting. I'd permanently deleted a really big bunch of old emails in last few days, so probably a lot of space that could be recovered. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting, but without the progress I had no idea if TB was busy or possibly frozen. So I just left it alone. When I came back and tried to manually start compacting, it immediately said "Done, 0K saved". So it had obviously done the compacting.

If it's an option, how do I enable that progress bar? If not currently available, please consider restoring it in future TB updates. I -for one- think it's a very useful feature.

THX!

Just updated to the latest version 153. No drag and drop ... message shown is 'Unspecified Error'. I made no changes when updating to this latest release. Appreciate some guidence. Thanks

I have been trying to archive my 25 years of Yahoo mail before they delete most of it. I thought I had it done. Now I have had to start again. Did you know that setting Thunderbird to ISAM download all your emails will only get the first 10,000 of any folder with more than that in it? Yes indeed, so it seems. We have to set the yahoo download server to the 'export' server. prefix the existing name with 'export'.

I am locked out of my yahoo accounts now. And the attempts I made earlier to delete stuff to make room have deleted stuff that never got downloaded/archived because from a folder with more than 10,000. That's how it goes. Just thought I'd warn anyone who might be as unknowing as I was. I took advice to the contrary and believed it.

Version 153 brought account colors to the desktop app.

Is there any smoother way to transfer just these settings, no more, no less, to other machines, other than copying the whole profile? I'm using TB on 3 different pc's, of which one has a special profile.

Right now I made screenshots of all 7 accounts + color. I can do it by hand but that's rather cumbersome.

Hello,

I followed the steps to use the vCard option as a Email Signature.

When creating a new email the vCard Signature is not appearing.
