Hi Guys, I have just installed Linux Mint 22.1 on a laptop and I am using Thunderbird for Linux Mint as my email program. The version of Thunderbird I have is 128.11.1esr(64bit). I cannot update Thunderbird to the latest version because it says "Updates disabled by your system administrator" How do I overcome this problem? Thank you.

I didn't know which topic to pick. But recently, my Thunderbird email stopped loading. I worked with my internet provider to help figure this out, but they could not. I don't know what to do. Also, I don't know my PIN.

Having trouble moving TB profile to new hard drive. HP Envy 360, Linux Mint 21.3 SSD crashed, but had a backup of the TB profile, not sure of the version of TB because of the crash. (and therefore can’t Export the files) Updated the computer with an M.2 stick and reinstalled Mint. Fine so far Installed TB, (which is 115.18), and have tried to copy and paste the old profile. Got the following message:

"A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version..."

Have tried to import from the saved backup file, and got a red error message. Have tried to replace the Mail file of the new s2p4q…….. default with the Mail file of the backup. Have tried to Can’t figure out why clicking on the 93apdn…… default file only yields “times.json” (see attached pictures) Can’t figure out why in the new profile the 93apdn.. file isn’t the default, and not the s2p4q…

I feel the problem may be that I don’t understand why the 93apdn..default has (only) times.json, and that the .ini file lists it as the default.

It seemed so easy before, I never had to use Export/Import, it was so much easier to just replace the profile. I know it’s a known issue because others have mentioned it since an update of TB.

Any help welcome, thanks

Have 5 email addresses with 2 different servers on my Thunderbird account...2 addresses with "maine.rr.com" and 3 with "gmail". Have no problem with the "gmail", but if try to make a "reply" to any "maine.rr" mail it is "server" rejected with message to "check SMTP settings AUP # Out-1500 and verify email address is correct in account settings". Have gone to account settings but cannot find. How so I resolve?

Hi all,

Filtering has always worked fine for me until recently. However, over the last few months I've noticed that any new filters I've setup don't work. Existing filters continue to work fine.

I've checked to see if there's an update but apparently I'm running the latest version: 128.11.1esr (32-bit)

Any ideas?

Thanks

I tried installing the new release and lost my address book. It's on my mobile phone but not in my computer thunderbird. how do I get it from my phone to my computer?

Is there a way to hide all folders from Unified Folders except for the Inboxes? I have both, Unified Folders and All Folders visible in the sidebar. For drafts, sent, junk, trash, templates, etc. I prefer to use the respective folders under each email account shown All Folders. But I very much like the Unified Inbox. What I would like to achieve (see the little mock-up image I made):

• A Unified Inbox (expandable to show individual inboxes, as it is now).
• Then directly under that, I want the All Folders section to show.

From reading up on the Unified Folders I understand that they are just Saved Searches. So I thought of creating a new custom Saved Search and include all the Inboxes. But unfortunately that seems only possible as subfolders of specific accounts. So I tried and created a Saved Search with all inboxes and IMAP search on under Local Folders. But I can't move it to the top of the list. And it also is not expandable to show individual inboxes as under Unified Folders. Any ideas if something like on the image below is possible to achieve?

As noted in my question something odd has appeared in my Thunderbird Email. Can someone help me get back to all English. I double checked my TB settings and it appears they are all set correctly.

Thanks, Brad

Hello,

I'm currently having trouble connecting my ProtonMail account to Thunderbird.

My login credentials are correct (I've double-checked them), and the configuration follows the official guidelines (server, port, password, etc.). However, the connection keeps failing.

Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue or let me know if there’s a specific procedure to follow when connecting a ProtonMail account to Thunderbird?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

I have several email accounts. One of these has a calendar linked to Google. I use this for calendar invitations from any of my accounts. However, I need to be able to send calendar invitations from the non-linked account like you can in Outlook. There, each time you add contacts to an invitation, you get an option to send From: Does Thunderbird have this capability? BTW I am not talking about setting default account. I need to be able to select when I create an invitation.

Thunderbird keeps asking for password every time I connect to Thunderbird. One solution online said to go into settings, then security, on the password part it says to delete your password in saved passwords, click ok and then restart Thunderbird. The password I have is the same for my BT account and access to my BT emails. If I delete this password in Thunderbird will it affect the password to my BT account or is it just for Thunderbird?

I open Mozilla Tbird and there are no new messages since the 16th. today is the 22nd. I tied to test it by sending myself a message and got a message that the SMTP serverf had "timed out!".

I have two issues that are related to a buggy interaction between Thunderbird and Microsoft's email server.

Issue (1) When I send an email with my Outlook email address (from the Android app or from outlook.live.com, but not Thunderbird), my email address shows up as a jumbled mess in the sent folder on Thunderbird.

It appears to the effect of

IMCEAEX-_O=FIRST+20ORGANIZATION_OU=EXCHANGE+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP+XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX+29_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@sct-XX-XX-XXXX-X-msonline-outlook-6f06c.templateTenant

(I have masked some potentially sensitive information).

In the sent folder on my Outlook Android app, my email address looks normal. It also looks fine on a browser in outlook.live.com. However, it's in the sent folder on Thunderbird that my email address is a mess.

Issue (2) When my Outlook email address is involved, the sending and receiving email addresses in the "correspondent" field are swapped in Thunderbird.

There are a couple situations where this swap happens:

1. Sending an email with my Outlook email account (either through the Android app or outlook.live.com, but not Thunderbird). In my Outlook sent folder on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows my jumbled email address and not the receiving address, such as bob@gmail.com. Likewise, In the inbox of the receiving email account (such as bob@gmail.com) on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows bob@gmail.com and not my Outlook email address.
2. Sending an email with any other account in Thunderbird to my Outlook email address. In my Outlook inbox on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows my Outlook email address (this time unjumbled) and not the sending email address. However, in the sent folder of the sending email account in Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows up correctly (i.e., my Outlook email address).

These two issues are perplexing and probably related. Thank you for any help!

I can't send out e-mails. Our e-mail is with time warner cable roadrunner through Spectrum. I spoke with a technician from Spectrum. He told me to ask you how to change my password. Please let me know how to change my password
