I am not sure if this is an issue that is isolated to the DropBox provider or to all of them.

But the issue is when you have multiple attachments and then try and use FileLink to upload them, it appears like ThunderBird tries to make too many connections at the same time or tries to upload too many of them at the same time because some of them will go through but then all of a sudden an error message pops up for the remaining files that says "Upload Error" Unable to upload FileName to DropBox.

Which you could then right click each item below at the attachments location and Convert to DropBox but you have to do it with each individual file.

It seems like maybe the FileLink feature itself just needs to space out each of the uploads in order to avoid this error but I am not sure.

When writing a message the cursor is a long black bar, how do I get it to normal size?

Cursor bar is about the length of the word "message" above. I can not take a screenshot of it.

In Thunderbird one of the folders somehow became grey and appears in italics. I can read contents but suddenla not save new files in the folder. What can I do to fix it?

Hi, Has the header disappered in Betterbird? It used to be at the top of each email, with the subject title, and the date and time the email was received. Is there a way to bring it back? Thanks, Des

Every so often a message pops up that a folder can't be compacted because it's in use.

I don't understand why TB bothers users with this message. Compacting folders is supposed to be invisible to the user. It'll get compacted eventually, so no user action is required.

If I'm missing something, please educate me.

And if not, what's the best chance of getting it removed? Should I submit a bug report and argue that it's a bug in the design? Is a suggestion likely to do anything?

Whenever I get an email that says they are including an attachment, the attachment is never there. What is going on and how to I get email attachments. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

I set up some custom (number of days in advance) calendar event reminders of my travel plans in my Google calendar via my cell phone. I have my google calendar linked to thunderbird on my pc. I had accepted the invitations before I left on my trip. (looking at the details of the reminder it shows: "You have accepted this invitation.") I returned home from my trip and have several old flight reminders popping up in my pop-up box in thunderbird. I can try to dismiss them, by clicking on the dismiss button, but nothing happens. They do not disappear. But recurring birthday events from my google calendar, which are also in my T-bird calendar, are able to be dismissed from the T-bird Reminder pop-up box. A new event I created today in google calendar, flowed into T-bird with two custom reminders, but no event invite. (Is the issue with accepting invites?) I have tried unsubscribing and re-adding my google calendar, to no avail. I have tried to clear the T-bird startup cache, both with and without being subscribed to my google calendar, to no avail. Any help is appreciated by this confused user, thank you in advance.

I thought I had successful auto install W-10 but when I open to send 1st message the"+ new message" button is not active/working. Per article this is how to start. Thanks for help.

Hello, I am using Time Machine to backup my Mac, but the tool excludes Thunderbird. In settings I have not excluded any files. My Thunderbird folder is fairly large, 25GB - thanks to the great archiving features of Thunderbird, How can I include Thunderbird folder to backups? Thanks in advance for helping. BR Tapio Heikkila

Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie

Ok I know this has been asked before but I can't find a way to fix this. When I click on ANY link in an email or even the menus, not even the help menu works, I get a "no app associated" error. My file associations for .htm, .html, http, https are all set in the default apps in windows. I can click on an email address and it works just not any other type link. This is in version 144.

I am having recurring problems sending e-mails, not knowing when it is going to work or not. The following message is one that I usually get:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@axxxxx.co.uk> recipient rejected - relay denied.

Please check the message recipient "info@xxxxx.co.uk" and try again."

I also get the following message when trying to send:

"Login to server mail.madasafish.com with username btom@madasafish.com failed."

These are my current settings:

Details of selected server: Description: btom Server Name: mail.madasafish.com Port: 25 User Name: btom@madasafish.com Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely Connection Security: None

I haven't changed any settings from the last time I was able to send e-mails, so I would appreciate any help.

For the third time now I have found messages I have saved in Local folders in TRASH. I did not put them there, and the original ones in Local Folders are empty. I have had to manually move messages intended to be saved from Trash into my intended folders. I am perplexed why this is happening, as I have not chosen Compact Folders or anything. Very, very annoying. If it continues I will search for another mail tool

Bonjour je n'arrive pas à creer un compte live.fr j'ai le message suivant

Hello, I am unable to create a live.fr account. I get the following message:

What should I do? Thank you for your help

I have successfully added numerous Zoho email addresses for our business into Thunderbird so I can easily toggle back and forth between inboxes, etc., but I have one Zoho email address that I just can't get to add. I created a new App-Specific Password for it in Zoho in case that was the problem, but the new one isn't solving the issue, either. I've attached an image of the screen and the message I'm getting- please let me know where else I can check for whatever might be preventing this add.

suddenly the Thunderbird cannot distinguish between info@zelec.se and info@stiernbrandt.com. It thinks they are the dsame and if I write the email address in the "Edit SMTP server" as info@zelec.se the same name appears in the account info@stiernbrandt.com. This is a very recent error. I saw todfay that this happen and then TH forbids me to send email from info@stierbrandt.com since it wrongly copies the into the info@zelec.

Hey

Thunderbird has a well-functioning Search function that uses the cache (or rather, what the background search process/function "read" and saved in global-messages-db.sqlite).

With a newly configured account (IMAP), it works like this:

- establishes the directory tree - downloads message titles (including sender, date, etc.) - *.msf summary files - then a process that downloads the entire message for local storage - in the background, an indexing process (GLODA?) starts, which creates a search database (subject, from, to, keywords in the message body) using the global-messages-db.sqlite file.

For very large mailboxes (>100k msg, ~50GB), this means that the server's content is transferred to the local disk (and stored in ImapMail).

The question is: how do I configure TB to run in "thin" mode, meaning after connecting a new account: - establish a directory tree - download message titles (including sender, date, etc.) -> *.msf - DO NOT download messages for local storage - start the indexing process, which will download and index the subject, from, to, and keywords in the message body (it will download and "read" the message, but not save it locally) and save it to global-messages-db.sqlite

Setting "mail.server.default.offline_download" to "false" will cause this behavior, but the message body will not be indexed (only from, to, and subject).

I tried to work around this by: - configuring the mailbox with the download option for offline use - waiting for it to download - setting "mail.server.default.offline_download" to "false" - deleting all "cur" directories (I use maildir) or deleting all *.eml files from the ImapMail directory.

Content search works for messages that have been downloaded (and indexed) previously; it doesn't work for new messages.

Why am I trying this? Some people have "air" laptops (meaning - weaker processors, small SSDs) and need access to email (via IMAP), including full search, without having all their email downloaded locally.

In other words, how can I configure TB via IMAP to: - download the directory and subdirectory tree - download the headers of all messages - "read" and index all messages (including their content) and store them in "global-messages-db.sqlite," but not store all messages locally (online mode only)?
