I have two Gmail accounts and one school account that uses Office 365. In the left panel where the inbox, drafts, etc. are, the Gmail accounts are listed in blue but the school account is listed in white. I can't see any reason for this difference in the accounts' settings. What does the difference indicate?

One of my local folders of email disappeared: it is no longer displayed under Local Folders. A few days ago while using my mouse to move a message into one of the local folders, something happened, a peculiar message briefly displayed. At the time I did <Ctrl>-Z to undo whatever happened, but I didn't see any changes. That must be when the folder disappeared, but I'm not sure.

My other folders are still in place. I can't find the missing folder inside any of the other folders (junk, deleted, archive, etc.). Yet when I search for email in one of the missing folders, the messages are found. When I go into Troubleshooting Information, there is no Profile Directory listed, and when I click on the Open Directory button, nothing happens. (I've gone through the process of transferring Thunderbird accounts to new computers in the past.) I'm using Pop!_OS 22.04 Linux and Thunderbird 140.10.0esr. I backup my laptop using Back In Time. Any idea how can I fix this?

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!

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!

bold texti have a thunderbird profile on exterior drive I have installed linux mint on my PC but cannot locate the profile to use my old TB profile -either by replacing it or renaming the old profile for the linux one

I'm a bit lost with the instructions http://mzl.la/1BsOG2o My thunderbird looks different I don't see a "Trust junk mail headers set by" option. What would be the proper way?

I deleted an old email address for a friend, but every time I email her, the auto-complete feature includes both the current email address and the one for her old job. I've deleted that one, and it doesn't seem to show up in the Address Book anywhere, so why does it keep coming up in the auto-complete?

It's annoying to me and to the place of employment to have the emails go to the wrong address when I'm not watching very carefully.

How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?

" attach the signature from a file instead "

I put the URL in there and it does not retain it and use it as signature image. It is a jpg. It browses in a URL on my browser and loads fine but T/B refuses to allow it.

Suggestions ?

Upgraded from `102.15.1` (deb) to `140.9.1esr` (flatpak).

Now for all my Imap folders the default action (double-click) is `Edit Draft` instead of `Open`. This is confirmed by right-clicking and having `Edit Draft Message` in bold at the top of the list.

How can I fix it?

- imported old profile with `⁝` -> `Tools` -> `Import`

- found https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1364428 and tried the addon it recommended but none of the imap folders were flagged as draft.

I am running Linux Mint and Thunderbird 140.9.0esr (64-bit). When I try to setup my Comcast email account I get errors and the program basically stops. For example "can't access property "cleanup", this [#configVerifier] is undefined". When I allow Thunderbird to do the initial search and follow its recommendation I get this error: Error creating account Incoming server already exists

I have Tbird running on two other computers THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. I noted that if I tried setting up Tbird on my newest Mint installation, i.e., Tbird running on my Windows machine, it would also fail to make the account.

I am at a loss as to what is going on. Any ideas???

had the need to start a fresh thunderbird profile.

now I forget which setting(s) allow for thunderbird to scan the local folders, NOT the internet, for new mail.

any suggestions?

thank you

Tried to setup gmail account manually. Couldn't verify username and/or password. Thunderbird just opened a window with an URL in plain text and did nothing. Text of window below. https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=406964657835-aq8lmia8j95dhl1a2bvharmfk3t1hgqj.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2F+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fcarddav+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fcalendar&login_hint=daryl_brenton%40wycliffe.org.au

I have been trying to add my Outlook account for about 30 minutes now. Normally, I would use the beloved legacy account creator, but that doesn't exist anymore.

But no matter what I do, I can't log in to my account. And I am pretty damn sure I got my login correct since I managed to log in to the website and all other devices with it.

And the error message is also seriously amiguous. I just need someone to help me through this..

Linux Tbird 140.7.1esr (64bit) running under Ubuntu 22.04, and with imap on all my email accounts. I normally manage emails locally in Tbird, hardly ever go to webmail.

In my list of Local Folders, there are two which show up with the name 'Outbox' and identical icons. Viewing each folder's Properties, the name Outbox is unsurprisingly given for both, but their locations are different: mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Unsent Messages mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Outbox

1. Are these two folders supposed to have the same purpose? One (or both) must be for the [in my case extremely rare] situation where I compose an email but its actual sending is frustrated (eg router turned off).

2. I cannot rename either folder, eg by attempting to edit the Name field when viewing the properties box. If their function is distinct, being able to change the name to reflect this would be nice.

3. If the purpose is the same, presumably only one is actually used by Tbird. Which one? Can I delete the other, and if so how - just in case Tbird would automatically recreate it?

Not a big deal - this has been the situation for a long time (brain fog stops me remembering just how long) - but this is untidy and it niggles.

Hi,

I configured my account using the server's IMAP service. Every time I open Thunderbird, it asks me for the password of the calendar service of that IMAP service. But it doesn't have a calendar service. Even if it has, I don't want to use it.

I looked everywhere in the settings page, but could not find a way to disable it.

Why the app keeps asking me for the calendar service's password and how to disable it?

Thanks.
