After upgrade to thunderbird 153.5.1esr from 140.17.0esr on a debian 13 (trixie) system I can no longer digitally sign my message with my external OpenPGP key located on a smartcard: I get the error message "Unable to send the message, because there is a problem with your personal key. The configured key ID ‘...’ cannot be found on your keyring." If I try to import the public key via the OpenPGP Key Manager I will get the alert "Importing the keys failed. TypeError: RNPLib.prepare_ffi is not a function". Any idea how to fix this?

I have read the question posed by a member wanting to do a similar move to the one I want to make and the standardised method that Mozilla publishes. My worry is :- If I download the latest TB program onto my new Win 11 PC, will it be compatible enough to receive all the files and emails I've saved to an external HDD, from my Win 7 PC? As I got burnt by eMClient's transfer of my emails, two years ago and lost 5 years of emails/contacts, I am naturally anxious about this same procedure in TB. (I transferred to TB, because of this and am very pleased with the way it is working on my Win 7 PC) Any hints and tips from anyone would be very gratefully received. John

Hello,

Since I updated Thunderbird to the version 153.5.1esr (64 bits) on Debian, I can't access to my PGP keys anymore, so I can't encrypt/decrypt my mails with OpenPGP.

In the console, I found this error message when starting Thunderbird: Error: RNP/OpenPGP library failed to load

And in OpenPGP, when I try to import keys (in .asc format), I've got this error message TypeError: RNPLib.prepare_ffi is not a function

I'm lost and I couldn't find any relevant information about this error for this version.

What can I do ?

I cannot get Thunderbird to launch. It acts like it is stuck on perhaps one account and circles keep spinning as if it never can get a few of my tabbed emails open. It keeps saying it "isn't responding." Since this began happening a few days ago, I've stopped the Thunderbird task through Task Manager, I've shutdown and restarted my whole system multiple times, I've updated to the latest Windows platform and made sure my drivers were all up to date... I can't update my thunderbird (if required) because I can't get in in the first place. I have hundreds of emails in multiple accounts under my current Thunderbird. I can't afford to lose all that history. I don't know which version I'm using because, again, I can't get the desktop app to launch. What do I do?

When I launch Thunderbird via icon ( version 158), it always brings me to sign on page for Thundermail.. If Thundermail is by invitation only, how do I get back to the real TB page. I can access webmail, my account, and portal. I only see Version 156 in download folder and only have default-release and default in the profile. I have no clue then what is happening. Will bringing back an earlier version. "ABOUT" shows version 158 and nothing else.

Also, my android email & passwords have remained constant and I did not have to change anything.

I can't receive or send emails for the address [redacted] @orange.fr with thunderbird. I get the message: Login to server impa.orange.fr failed - retry - enter new password - cancel

If I use Ctrl+E to resend an email it loses all images (both in signature and any attached).

Thunderbird: 158.0.1 (64-bit)

Was working fine before. Stopped recently. If I send a new email, or forward an email, all works fine. Only if I Ctrl+E

Thank you kindly

Folks, this is a rather alarming setting. I’m not sure if this counts as a bug—if it is, please fix it; if not, please explain why. I’d like to know, as it might be reason enough for me to switch to a different email client. Thanks.

To ask this question, I had to sign in. But the password to sign in, which permits me to reach this page, where I can ask this question, does not give me access to my email. I have tried using my apple account password and my computer password to no avail. How do I fix this?

Mostly the Trash and Drafts folders shown very large, incorrect numbers, in the hundred. Even if I mark as the folder read or empty the folder. Numbers don't change, just keep growing. Any ideas? I've tried some suggfestions from the internet but none work

We're planning to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird, but we have a hard time in harmonizing font sizes on text and signature. One of the issues is that fonts can be set to textual values tiny, small, medium, etc. w/o knowing what it corresponds to in pt. But lets explain what we tried so far: - Under Settings/ General / Language&Fonts, we defined Calibri 12 as default, what we repeated under Advanced for 'Latin' & 'Other Writing Fonts' - Under Settings / Composition, we defined Calibri / Medium for the HTML Style - The HTML-signature is defined using the Calibri 12 font But when creating a new message w/ these settings, the result is terrible as you can see in the example: disregard the fonts' color, just look at the font sizes.

Is there any simple solution?

Currently my Thunderbird uses Virginmedia server. Virginmedia is getting out of the email business altogether and will delete all their email accounts in the near future. I would like to use Microsoft new Outlook as my replacement server. How do I make this change while keeping the same email address? (I suspect there will be thousands asking the same question)

Hello,

I'm moving to Graph from EWS and have followed the instructions at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-ews-graph-migration

I get through to screen that offers Graph API as an option, alongside IMAP, POP3 etc, and click on Graph API which directs me to my browser to log in to my email service (via GoDaddy). I log in successfully which takes me to the Thunderbird 'You're All Set' screen saying the account has been securely connected to Thunderbird and therefore ok to close that screen.

Back on Thunderbird it then progresses but returns with "Authentication Error - unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password".

The username and password are correct, and there aren't any other options available when editing/manually configuring the connection...so at a dead end, alas.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Hi there, I’ve spent many hours trying to find an answer. Perhaps it’s right under my nose, but I just can’t seem to find it. Please help!

I’ve created extra folders in Thunderbird to keep my messages organized. Question: How can I locate a specific folder?

Example: I create a folder named "a555". I CANNOT FIND THE FOLDER "a555".

(why did I choose "a555"? It’s a unique combination of letters and numbers, which ensures there are no unintended search results.)

Searching for a message does reveal the name of the folder it’s contained in, but that’s not what I’m looking for. I want to be able to search for the folder itself directly.

I have tried searching using: Global Search (top right) – Ctrl + K; Specific Search – Ctrl + Shift + F; This Thunderbird forum; A general search on the internet.

Any answer would be greatly appreciated. Arthur Cerew.

• • Titel: Yahoo-Mail lässt sich in Thunderbird 153.5 unter macOS nicht anmelden – „Es ist ein Problem aufgetreten“**

Hallo zusammen,

ich kann mein Yahoo-Mail-Konto seit etwa zwei Wochen nicht mehr in Thunderbird einrichten. Ich vermute ein Problem mit der Yahoo-OAuth2-Anmeldung.

• • Mein System:**

- Betriebssystem: macOS auf einem MacBook Pro - Thunderbird-Version: 153.5 - Weitere E-Mail-Konten in Thunderbird: Gmail, WEB.DE, GMX und Host Europe. Diese funktionieren alle problemlos.

• • Fehlerbeschreibung:**

Wenn ich mein Yahoo-Konto hinzufügen möchte, öffnet sich das Yahoo-Anmeldefenster. Ich gebe meine vollständige Yahoo-E-Mail-Adresse und mein korrektes Passwort ein. Anschließend erscheint folgende Fehlermeldung:

„Es ist ein Problem aufgetreten. Wir konnten Sie nicht anmelden. Versuchen Sie es bitte auf einem anderen Gerät.“

Darunter befindet sich ein lila Button „Hilfe aufrufen“.

Die Anmeldung bei Yahoo funktioniert dagegen problemlos über Firefox auf demselben Mac mit demselben Passwort. Auch die Anmeldung über meinen Passkey auf dem iPhone funktioniert.

• • Bereits durchgeführte Maßnahmen:**

- Yahoo-Passwort geändert und die Anmeldung über Firefox erfolgreich getestet. - Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung bei Yahoo aktiviert. - Yahoo-Konto in Thunderbird gelöscht und mehrfach versucht, es neu einzurichten. - Authentifizierungsmethode für IMAP und SMTP überprüft: OAuth2. - Cookies und JavaScript in Thunderbird aktiviert. - Im Konfigurationseditor folgende Werte überprüft:

 - `mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser = true`
 - `mailnews.oauth.useExternalBrowser = false`
 - `javascript.enabled = true`

- Ein Yahoo-App-Passwort erstellt und versucht, das Konto manuell mit „Passwort, normal“ einzurichten. Thunderbird öffnet trotzdem wieder das Yahoo-Anmeldefenster unter `autodiscover.yahoo.com`, wo dieselbe Fehlermeldung erscheint. - Alte Yahoo-Einträge aus dem Passwortspeicher entfernt. - Doppelte Yahoo-SMTP-Einträge gefunden und den veralteten Eintrag entfernt. - Thunderbird vollständig beendet und neu gestartet.

Nach dem Neustart erscheint teilweise sogar eine Passwortabfrage für `peterbeck127@yahoo.com`, obwohl das Yahoo-Konto nicht mehr in der Kontenliste vorhanden ist.

• • Meine Fragen:**

1. Ist ein bekannter Fehler bei der Yahoo-OAuth2-/PKCE-Anmeldung in Thunderbird 153.5 vorhanden? 2. Warum lehnt Yahoo die Anmeldung in Thunderbird ab, obwohl dieselben Zugangsdaten über Firefox funktionieren? 3. Wie kann ich eventuell verbliebene Yahoo-Anmeldeversuche oder Servereinträge vollständig entfernen, ohne mein Thunderbird-Profil und meine anderen E-Mail-Konten zu beschädigen? 4. Gibt es einen bekannten Workaround oder eine Korrektur für dieses Problem?

Ich möchte mein Yahoo-Konto wieder normal über IMAP und SMTP in Thunderbird verwenden können, ohne meine anderen Konten neu einrichten zu müssen.

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!
