My questions are:

i was about to add another account to TB and checked for cves first and saw this:  CVE-2025-11715. 

Ubunut 22.04 is affected by it but there is no way to update my installed version to a stable release in the software centre.s my current 140.3.1esr snap download of thunderbird on ubuntu software centre unsafe and should i remove account and uninstall it immediately?

Is there a safer snap version to use? I see 140.4.oesr-1 is available in the drop down menu on the mozilla thunderbird snap page in software centre but its only latest/candidate which i think means not yet stable? Is this a safe choice?

Clicking on the 140.4. version from snap doesnt update but requires a new install. Is the best idea to go ahead and install this 140.4 candidate version rather than continuing with 140.3.1? Should i just hold off using thunderbird until my installation recieves an update? I do really need to use it so this is a last resort.

i have autism and stuggle with processing information and worry about installing the wrong thing. i thought the ubuntu snapstore as verified by canonical would be stable and secure. I am nervous of downloading from browser in case i download a fake site or mess it up installing and I dont know how I would be sure I had an authentic version. Im not great at using the terminal and knowing if ive input correctly either. It seems that apt would just fetch snap version anyway. if downloading from site was the best way to procees, do i need to uninstall snap first and how can I check its not a corrupted file?

Please can I get help on the best way to proceed to use a version of thunderbird that is definitly safe to use and add accounts to?

Also could my passwords and emails already be compromised by using 140.3.1esr and should i stop using it immediately? would an update be enough to remove the threats? 

Thanks

Hello,

I have saved message templates that I use. Each one also has a footer (which I save as an .html file).

When I use this template to send a message, the image in the footer doesn't load and I get the message: Thunderbird has blocked the file from loading in this message.

When I click UNBLOCK, nothing happens. The image still doesn't get added. It's a very small image from my footer/signature. 'When I compose a new message, I don't have this problem' – the image in the footer loads and is sent to the recipient. This problem occurs when I try to send a message saved in the templates. There's no way to "unblock the image" and send it.

Hi Folks,

I want to seek opinion on how to manage the virus detected in emails (or its attachments) through Kaspersky Anti Virus.

I have large no of emails in TB stored in mbox format. Around 30GB in Inbox and another 5GB in Sent, etc. I also use Kaspersky Internet Security which has anti-virus also active.

Now my anti virus detects some infected emails. How to clean the infected virus emails / attachments.

Question: 1) When using mbox file on TB, is Kaspersky capable to delete ONLY a single specific infected file from the entire mbox data without any corruption of mail data? 2) If not, how to setup the anti-virus to automatically clean, disinfect and delete/quanrantine individual mail. ?

3) Is MailDir a better way to save emails in profile and use anti-virus. There is a warning on Maildir saying its still not settled and may have bugs. Is that true even today ?

Thanks & Regards, Tejas
