Just updated to Thunderbird 157 and all my calendars are now disabled because the google calendar add-on is not compatible and was disabled. How do I enable my other calendars or move back to 156 while I wait for an update for the google calendar add-on?

I had a great Thunderbird Emoji add-on that is no longer supported. This.

https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/emojiaddin/

It no longer works on updated Thunderbird, and shows it hasn't been updated since 2022. I'm on Thunderbird 140.11 on my Linux Mint. The image the plugin inserts in message bodies is broken. Is there another/similar add-on?

Good Afternoon! I am looking at an add on right on the Mozilla site. It's called "Edit Email Subject" (EES). This would allow me to organize my emails better by editing the subject line with more detail. I downloaded it, but Firefox tells me the Add On is not verified and cannot be installed. Yet it is on your site. It appears to be what I need, can you help - either by verifiying help, or (?) or by recommending another suitable add on? Reviews on EES were good, by the way. Help! Thank You, Allan

When composing a message I am getting a pop-spell check window that auto-fills the top (somewhat bizarre) suggestion. This is suboptimal for me, though it might be entertaining to compose auto-suggest random word salad messages from time to time. The heretofore behavior was to red-underline unrecognized words and permit a right-click pop-up selection for correction.

I run an ever longer list of plugins to maintain the core functionality I rely on for messaging and I realize this pop-up could be an artifact of an "upgrade" thought useful by a plugin, but before I go through a day of sequential plugin testing, if someone here knows how to revert this behavior, I'd very much appreciate it:

The insanely disruptive new behavior is the popup offering to correct "things" as "Things" [sic capitalized for some random reason, though I'm quite smitten with "Th�ringens" as a "correction" to "things"]

The good (olde fashionede) spellcheck offers to correct the intentionally misspelled "thinglys" to "thingy" and correctly ignores "things".

Thing (ha) is the not-for-me version and the good-by-me version are both 128.13.0esr (64-bit), both have "enable spellcheck as you type" enabled, both are set to English (United States) (though, oddly, the order of the dictionaries is different), and both run roughly the same set of plugins, both are on Linux, bad-for-me on Ubuntu and good-by-me on Mint.

I checked Advanced Preferences for anything that might be inducing this odd popup and couldn't find anything obvious under "spellcheck" or "suggest."

When I click on the Add-on compatibility check drop down arrow at the top the message box for add-ons is too big on the screen so I can't see the whole list to the bottom of the box and the box isn't resizeable? Anybody know a solution please?

TOPIC 1 In Betterbird there is the option to colour the email account. The only option in TB is to change the colour of the email envelope icon. There used to be a extension that achieved this but fell by the wayside in TB 115 I researched this on TB forum on reddit.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/17unvb1/different_account_colors_in_thunderbird_115/

It made interesting reading and I did download the 'account colours' zip to install and see if it worked. Only thing is that I do not know how to install it........can someone brighter than me tell me how to install it and to remove it if it doesn't work. Many thanks.

Every now and then a folder flag will change to the drafts flag/icon, it seems to be a random occurrence which can happen to any sub-folder. Up until the most recent Thunderbird upgrade I had a working extension called FolderFlags which allowed me to go into the Folder properties and change it back but that extension no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird and there is no alternative extension. How do I change the flag back to it showing as an ordinary sub-folder in my Inbox instead of Drafts? As an interim measure I've created a new sub-folder and copied the emails from the old into the new but that's not ideal at all. I hope somebody will create an updated extension but has anyone any other suggestions please?

I'm trying to setup tbsync to use with Google Contacts. I'm running 128.12.0 esr. I've installed tbsync and Google-4-tbsync.

I followed the instructions to create Google credentials, but where do I put them? And the account setup for tbsync asks for a "client secret" - what's that?

Hi all:

Before sending an e-mail, I want check that a particular word (like "my secret") is not in the message body.

Is there any way to do this? I couldn't find any add-on to that end.

If there isn't anything like that, is there any add-on (or an easy way) to run a user-defined script before sending an e-mail? I could then try to write some simple JavaScript code in order to search the message body for a number of words I want to be alerted about.

Failing that, I could use an add-on like Keyword Highlight to automatically highlight unwanted words, but that add-on has been abandoned and does not work anymore. Is there anything similar? I am thinking about something like spell checking, but in reverse, where certain words get underlined in red.

Thanks in advance,

During recent update 148.0 (64-bit) google calendars are not shown either in "Events and Tasks/Calendar" or in "Today's Pane".

Subscribed calendars are still there, but nothing is shown in the days/weeks/months entries apart from the first calendar in the subscription list! Nothing else. And nothing in today's pane.

Reinstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled "Provider for google calendar" but nothing changed.

Thanks, GG

A number of times when I'm answering email and need to check back on the list of emails, I don't see a Tab to take me directly to my list of email accounts (I have 8). A couple of times I've had to shut down T-bird and re-launch it to get back to this list/window. I don't understand why such a Tab isn't available everywhere.

So I'm looking for an add-on which would allow me to add a specific Tab on the T-bird pages where it isn't there, specifically, a Tab to get to the window which has the list of my email accounts.

If there is such a customization, I'd appreciate getting a link to get it.

Recently moved to Linux Mint with Thunderbird 140.5. It's a new experience. Thunderbird has downloaded all my emails and folders from my Outlook.com account. Can send, receive, edit emails no problems and all is visible from Outlook client on other machines. Thunderbird does not show my calendar entries or contacts. I do not wish to import from Outlook as I would like to access my Outlook.com from several locations. Been through online Help articles. Nothing seems to work. Have installed TbSync and Lightning Calendar Tabs add-ons with default settings. I have tried suggestions provided in this Mozilla Support. Other forum suggestions don't seem to relate to the version I have.

I'm sure it is something simple as everything else I have done with my new environment is working wonderfully. Thanks in advance.

I keep installing the Add-on to customize the message body toolbar. Unfortunately, the toolbar returns after a while. Now I can't seem to find the Add-on to customize it.

Any ideas? James

Installed FiltaQuilla. Need help to construct Subject Regex Match string to filter spam with subject line where the spammer intersperses spaces between several of the characters in the message subject line. Tak e C o n t rol o f Y o u r F in a n c e s : O ur D ebt R eli e f Pr o gr a m Trying to filter on 4 or 5 successive single characters interspersed with spaces -- e C o n t Tried ^*[ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^]*$ , which I thought would return true on the sample above. It did not seem to work.

On new computer. I went to Add-ons and searched for Imogies/Emojies, etc., but nothing comes up. I hoped to have the set I had as an add-on on previous computer (which crashed - had to start from scratch).

If anyone knows how to get it, I'd appreciate knowing. I loved using it.

(I know about "Win." - but that doesn't have nearly as many emogies as the Add-on.)
