Форум спільноти Thunderbird

When replying to an email, I type the first line of text in the text field and then paragraph (carriage return) using the ENTER key. This causes the first line of text to disappear. This has been happening all day today, several times. Closing and reopening Thunderbird does not solve the problem. Rebooting the device does not solve the problem.

Within the past day or so, which means 7-18-26 or later, some of my email messages on thunderbird for my pc have a "From" description that is not correct. I look at the messages, and the "From" is entirely different than the "From" description when looking at the email message list. I have never encountered this problem before. I'm using thunderbird 152.0.1 64-bit on my pc.

При регистрации аккаунта в почтовом клиенте выдает постоянную ошибку, ссылая на то, что исходящий сервер уже ссуществует. Почта .com При этом ранее аккаунт был создан и все прекрасно работало.

I received an invite to join thundermail. I began the process of signing up, however I was unable to finish fully activating my account due to losing internet at my apartment. The email says while the invite doesn't expire, the address I chose does, which I presume has already happened, but now when I attempted to go through the process again I get a "WE'RE SORRY" page when I attempt to follow a link from an email that lists: "

Your administrator has just requested that you update your Thunderbird account by performing the following action(s): Verify Email. Click on the link below to start this process."

Not sure exactly how to proceed. More than a bit cumbersome.

Windooze 11. TBird 152.0 installed on June 20th. Now it seems like TBird is not displaying HTML emails properly. They are displayed but not at the beginning. The first line is sometimes just the bottom half of a sentence in the email (if that makes sense). I can't scroll back to the beginning. If I go to outlook and display the same email it displays fine.

Did something change in 152.0 to cause this?

Thanks, Ed Mazurek

Bonjour, hier j'ai installé Thunderbird sur mon nouveau MacBook, j'ai récupéré tous mes mail, mais en fin de journée, il a disparu. Comment fais-je pour le réinstaller sans avoir à verser un nouveau don ? Par avance merci pour votre aide. Pourriez-vous me joindre au X Cordialement, Catherine

Dear T-bird Community Helpers,

This is my 1st use of any Mozilla mutual help community message board. I'm learning the ropes.

Re. the OS build: I never use beta anything. I established the folder, that went zero on me, recently (less than 2 weeks ago). I hadn't yet backed it up onto the cloud or a flash drive or other medium. Was just about to, but thought I'd rename the folder 1st, 9/13.

My mistake there, but not in the renaming. Never renamed a T-bird folder before. I had set up Thunderbird the week before 9/13, as a backup to e-mails in my Earthlink WebMail Premium account. 1st as a POP account, then later that week, after checking with a reputable AI interface, I made an IMAP.

Today I couldn't find any prior messages in this community board. That I, with my best focus, found relevant to my situation.

I try to learn what is involved, first, in decisions between products, accounts, and methods to follow. But I don't have all day. I don't short-shrift research, but I don't have all day. I relied on an AI bot when I had second thoughts on appropriateness of POP account, and it recommended IMAP account be added. Not substituted for the POP one, though---I asked it about that. too.

I work hard to learn computer terms but am not deeply skilled with computer stuff. I cannot generally read between the lines, to infer what sub-step to take to make the next listed step likelier to work. Nor can I understand very unnecessarily complex instructions, so please be feasibly simple in how you instruct me to find a way to restore my local folder. I don't know the exact name it had before. I use spelling tricks to keep folder names short, so there are MANY possibilities for the old name of that folder.

Your advice, please. I will be grateful for friendly, complete, instructions. Worded simply as is feasible. And questions 1st, sure, if you need to know more 1st.

         Thank You,
             AK

Hi, Hoping I can get some help here, I couldn't find an answer in the search topics.

I have lost a few local subfolders. First the subfolders lost the emails contained in them and then the subfolders themselves disappeared.

I renamed the main folder just removing the year from the folder name and not long after that the above happened.

I have tried the following:

• Searching the help topics • Searching the forum • Closing reopening Thunderbird • I removed .msf files and restarted Thunderbird

I am not sure what I can do now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

What I see When I reply to an email written in classic Outlook for Windows, the quoted Outlook text gets a big gap above and below every single line, and its font changes. This happens as soon as Thunderbird processes such a message again, for example when I view my sent reply, reply to my own reply, forward it, or reopen a saved draft. Thunderbird users who receive my replies should see the same gaps.

Why it happens (as far as I can tell) - Outlook writes every line as its own paragraph and relies on a small style rule that says "no extra space between paragraphs". - Since version 151, Thunderbird puts the quoted email's style rules into a protective container (`@scope`) so they cannot change my own text (bug 1967725). - Thunderbird's own safety filter for HTML emails treats this container as a suspicious rule and deletes it, together with everything inside it. The "no extra space" rule is lost, and the gaps appear. - Older versions such as Thunderbird 140 ESR don't understand the container at all and ignore the rules even in the first reply.

In short: one Thunderbird feature adds the container, another Thunderbird feature removes it again.

How to reproduce (no Outlook needed) The attached test message contains two quotes with the same spacing rule: quote A inside the container, quote B without it. In Thunderbird 155.0.1 quote A shows big gaps, while quote B stays tight.

What would help Keep protecting my own text from the quoted styles, but in a form that Thunderbird's own filter and older email programs don't remove, for example by limiting the quoted rules to the quote with an ordinary class name instead of `@scope`.

Technical pointers - Filter: pref `mail.html_sanitize.drop_conditional_css` (default true); `NoConditionalRules` in `stylesheet.rs` rejects `CssRule::Scope`. - Container: `QuoteSanitizer.sys.mjs` (Phase 2), called from `MsgComposeCommands.js`. - Tested with Thunderbird 155.0.1 on Windows 11.

WE USE A SOFTWARE CALLED MITCHELL WE HAVE A SHOP EMAIL BUT WE USE THUNDERBIRD TO SEND EMAIL FROM MITCHELL AND SOME HOW IT CONNECTS TO OUR SHOP EMAIL BUT IT WONT WORK WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING ARE THEY ANYONE WHO WOULD CALL AND TRY TO WALK US THROUGH ON WHAT TO DO IT WORKED GREAT UNTIL WE CHANGED OUR EMAIL TO OUR NEW SHOP EMAIL AND NOW IT WONT WORK AT ALL SHOP NUMBER [redacted phone# from public community support forum]

I belong to a group which need to receive a report to the whole group on a regular basis. How do I do this? The Mozilla instructions don't seem to apply to Firebird and have instructions which don't work on Firefox version 115.18.0

SIMPLIFY THUNDERBIRD IT IS EXCESSIVLY COMPLEX. I CANNOT EVEN SEE HOW TO MOVE MESSAGES FROM THE INBOX TO THE RELEVANT FOLDER IN MY LIST. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE FIREFOX AND THUNDERBIRD ARE OVERCOMPLEX AND NEED SIMPLIFIED. SIMPLES. WHY CANT I COPY AND PASTE THE VERSION NUMBER. BLOODY ARESHOLES . AS I SAID IT IS BLOODY OVERCOMPLEX. AT THIS POINT I AM CONSIDERING GIVING UP ON WHAT IS CLEARLY AN OVERCOMPLEX PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK GOOD EITHER AND THERE IS NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT SO WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. COMPLETE WASTE OF SPACE TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH COMES TO MIND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE
