Hello!

I have installed Thunderbird 150.0 on an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop using a downloaded TAR installation method. I have done this, as I use OWL for Microsoft Exchange accounts. OWL works better with the current version of Thunderbird.

I have created a desktop launcher (thunderbird-150.desktop), which works fine, except that the software icon is the generic Gnome gear. I have read that specifying the WMClass correctly in the launcher file (in /usr/share/applications) is the solution, but this does not seem to work. It is current set as WMClass=thunderbird. I have also noticed that the /opt/thunderbird/icons folder does not contain the Thunderbird icon.

Can anyone help me to fix this annoying issue?

Many thanks!

A few months ago I installed Thunderbird onto a new PC having previously used it on a previous PC (so I'm not a newbie).. However I'm seeing a persistent issue that I never saw before...

I've a regular contact whose name I won't specify but let's call him Roger Smith. What happens is that whenever I post something on a forum (such as this one) and somebody replies, the replies look as if they came from Roger Smith - even though he's got no connection with the actual forum.

It doesn't happen with every forum - for example it doesn't happen with this one - but it does affect most of them. Has anyone else ever reported this and is there anything I can do to correct it?

My email messages format has changed. Used to be a very readable format now it has changed to a bunch of links with small wording. Example - an email from Swansons: [Swansons](https://www.swansonvitamins.com/)

I've never had a problem before but suddenly I'm getting an error when I try to log into one of my accounts telling me "The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded [AUTH] invalid credentials. Why is this happening now?

I have 4 other accounts on Thunderbird and this is the only one that has started giving me problems.

Hello!

I am using Thunderbird 140.9.1esr (64-bit) on a Ubuntu 24.04 system. Every time I restart Thunderbird, it reverts to a little used Gmail account as the default account. I have several accounts, but my main email account is a MS365 account. I reset the setting, but every time it is restarted, the default goes back to Gmail. I have tried everything that I've found online, but cannot correct this behaviour.

Do you have any suggestions or assistance?

Many thanks!

We installed Mozilla Thunderbird to manage our clients’ email accounts. Recently, we deleted one client’s email account from Thunderbird. However, a few days later, we are still repeatedly receiving login prompts asking us to re-enter the password for that account.

For your reference, the account in question is a Gmail account.

It seems the client may have changed their email password, but since the account has already been removed from Thunderbird, we do not understand why the application continues to request login credentials for it.

Could you please advise on the cause of this issue and how to resolve it?

Thank you for your assistance.

I recently created a Google Workspace account. There, I have a user profile with a custom email address. I've set up the new account in Thunderbird, and it is working as expected. If I send a message from my "external" account to the workspace account, it arrives, and I'm able to reply back.

One feature of Google Workspace is what they call "alternate email" addresses. They sort of work as an alias for the native address. I have created one such alternate. If I send a message from my external account to the alias, it arrives correctly in the workspace account. However, when I reply from the workspace account, it does not go back to the originating address, but instead it is addressed back to the alias. If I repeat the experiment from the Gmail web interface, it replies to the correct address.

I've downloaded all the headers, and the Return-Path tag is correct. I can provide the full header if needed.

It feels like there is an invisible forwarding action to get from the alias to the workspace account, and that the reply action is incorrectly finding the interim alias. But that doesn't really seem to be what I see in the headers - although I'm probably not the most expert reader of those.

And it isn't necessarily a Thunderbird issue. I can see that there could be something going on with Google. But this is a good place to start...  :-)

My wife and I both have Thunderbird accounts. The issue is that when we open Thunderbird, both accounts show on one screen. Is there any way to separate logins and only show each of our accounts on the screen?

Thanks, Sam Orner

I have removed the drive from the computer that will not boot up. I hope to be able to transfer my "profile" to my new computer from that drive. I understand that I will need to have the same version of Thunderbird installed on my new computer in order to transfer my "profile". Since I can't access Thunderbird on my "crashed" computer, how can I know what version I had installed previously? How do I find where to load that version on my new computer?

I am using Thunderbird on a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid-2012, in a POP3 account

Thunderbird 140.10 is generally running fine, except that some sub-folders are not visible in my Thunderbird email tool view. I have a hierarchical

I have tried repairing the parent folders, but that had no effect.

The corresponding .sbd files are clearly visible in ~/<user>/Library>/<profile>/Mail/Local Folders/pop-server.<account> and being backed up in Time Machine backups.

Curiously, there is a much-truncated replica of some .sbd folders in Local Folders named /<folder-name>.sbd, all dated in 2013, yet the folder was created in 2017. I presume these refer to an update of Thunderbird that left some trash, and of no consequence. These are parallel to Archives and Archives.msf files.

Please advise on how to disambiguate this structure and recover views of existing mail folders not being displayed.

Is there currently a way to add a searchable comment or text note to incoming emails? I often wish for a way to help organize and/or find notes about specific topics that aren't listed in the subject or body of the text. If there is not a field or other way to do this, can it be added? Thanks

When I try to open Thunderbird it keeps giving me a message that it is trying trouble install a new helper tool and asks for my password. I do so, hit the Install Helper button, and then nothing ever happens. I get a spinning beach ball and it never opens no long how I wait. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or advice on what to do.

Thunderbird causes my machine to 'hang' from time to time,

1. often for up to a second and usually a number of times in quick succession on each ocasion. Sometimes this happens frequently - say every 5 or 10 minutes - sometimes only after an hour or more since the past occurrance.

2. My machine hangs completely - nothing will work, mouse, keyboard, sound, other apps etc. If I happen to be typing (into any app - including Thunderbird - when this happens, input ceases, the cursor freezes and - if the problem persists for a second or two, Windows reports "[app] is not responding"

3. I cannot be certain, but I believe the problem occurs whilst messages are being retrieved.

This is a very serious problem as it means that I can never leave TB running as the problems it causes are not acceptable.

4. This means I cannot deal with incoming messages without periodically re-starting TB - which is an utter PIA.

I am running Win 11 Professional on a 2-year old machine with 64 Gb of memory. I have run TB in Troubleshoot mode, I have confirmed that the problem occurs regardless or whatever other apps are running (or none) and I have proven conclusively that no other app causes any kind of similar problem.

Looking forward yto hearing if others have had the same issue and what can be done about it.

To open Thunderbird I must enter a primary password. This is driving me NUTS. When I open the program, I want it to start without having to remember a password. Also, if something happened to me, nobody else in my family could open the program without knowing the password and how to find it if needed. After many decades of using this program for email, this primary password nonsense has become a great annoyance. FIX THIS STUPID PASSWORD PROBLEM. Please.

3 дня назад перестали приходить письма - вышла ошибка авторизации. Пароль точно верный (через браузер все работает) и работает Thunderbird на другом ПК. Снес мозиллу, касперского, пробую заново создать почту, не дает, смотрите скриншот 1. Потов выдает ошибку смотрите скриншот 2. Вообще не могу понять что не так! На другом ПК все работает. переносил профиль с другого ПК на свой все тоже самое - ошибка авторизации. Куки разрешены, в исключения gmail.com добавил в Thunderbird Куда копать, что искать?
