Hello,

I have an issue while detaching an attachement under a directory that has is name on a network share "G:\03_AFFAIRES Ad & FI\"

When i detache a file inside this directory the link in Thunderbird is broke because it become "G:\03_AFFAIRES Ad "

It was working in the previous version of thunderbird ESR 140.x

突然「pop.mail.yahoo.co.jp サーバーのユーザー パスワードを入力してください」と出たので記録してあるパスワードを入力したのですが「サーバーにログインできません」と出ます。パスワードをリセットして新しいパスワードを再度入力しましたが、やはりログインできません。 現在Thunderbirdでyahoo mailとgmailを使用していますが、gmailは問題無く送受信できています。

So thunderbird mail has this system where old emails spread horizontally across the top of the screen in small icons and if you select and open an older email from the sidebar for the inbox and then want to return to the inbox, the only way I have found to return to the inbox is to click and hold the left arrow on that horizontal bar at the top with the email icons. This is too time consuming. Is there a faster way? Also, is that bar necessary? Why not just have a system that uses the sidebar that actually identifies the individual emails.

Sometime ago, Thunderbird stopped being able to connect with my GMail and Hotmail email accounts. I guess this had something to do with the change to OAuth authentication. I then switched over to Yahoo accounts which worked perfectly until last night when I installed the latest update, i.e. 153.0.1esr (Meadow). Now, I cannot connect with ANY account whatsoever. Thunderbird just stopped working in my two Windows 10 laptops and it does not seem to work on the Windows 11, either, although I have only tried Gmail accounts on that one (without the update), as I cannot possibly be left without an email handler.

If I try to download my emails, I get a screen that tells me that I should “Turn-off ad blockers“ and “Enable JavaScript“ in my browser, but I have tried several (4) browsers as default with the same result. I don’t have either ad blockers or cookie restrictions in any one of them and JavaScript is enabled in all (it is now by default).

I have downloaded and installed “eM Client” and it works *perfectly*. However, I would loathe to have to abandon Thunderbird and get used to an entirely new program, but which is what I will have to do if this thing is not resolved ASAP.

As mentioned, I think there has to do with the OAuth authentication system.

I have even tried ChatGPT, without success!

And there is no way to revert to the previous version !!!!!

Please do something NOW, or it is, regrettably, goodbye Thunderbird!

After the last update of Thunderbird, we lost the ability to send gmail messages from our pop gmail account. We only got incoming messages when we restarted thunderbird. We've worked for 6 hours with Claude Opus and it finally gave up. Out AOL account and our comcast accounts still work. We tried to create a new imap account in gmail and that spins forever. Account does not get created. the last error message was " Error Creating Account - Incoming server already exists."

Then we tried deleting the pop account and then creating a imap account and that also spun forever failing to create an account. Webmail works.

Hi folks, I'm a happy Thunderbird user since more than 20 years.

I just updated my TB to Version V.153.0.1esr.

Then I want to compose an eMail and suddenly I recognized the two Menus with File, Edit, View and Send.... Attach are gone.

Normally from the top to the buttom I see the following menu lines: 1. Write: (no subject).... 2. File Edit View... 3. Send........ and Attach at the end 4. From.. 5. To... 6. Subject 7. The line with Paragraph etc. 8. The area to put my email text in

The lines 2. and 3. are fully gone.

Can you please give an answer how to reactive the lines 2. und 3. during composing an eMail?

Only a recent problem. I can receive emails just fine; only the sending of emails is affected. On the same computer, I open the Gmail website in my browser, and I am able to send emails just fine.

I checked my security program, Bitdefender, and there are no notifications relating to this issue.

Any help on what to check next?

I have used Thunderbird with the same email account for years, creating subfolders and moving emails to the subfolders with no issues.

With Thunderbird 153.0.1, after creating a new subfolder in the account, when attempting to move emails to the new folder, I receive the following error:

"Thunderbird: The current command did not succeed. The email server responded: APPEND invalid flag list"

Good morning.

A few days ago the "Junk" folders in my Thunderbird accounts, without any action on my part, were suddenly renamed as "Spam" folders.

Anyone know why this happened?

Thanks

Hello,

After updating Thunderbird to version 153.0.1 ESR (64-bit), the InsertSignature button changed its position.

Before the update, the "Insert Signature" button was displayed near the message formatting toolbar, next to the "Body Text" selector.

After the update, the button moved to the top compose toolbar next to the Send button.

My environment:

- Thunderbird 153.0.1 ESR (64-bit) - Windows 11 - InsertSignature 0.4.5 - Quicktext 6.9.1

InsertSignature has not been updated recently (version 0.4.5), and this change appeared only after Thunderbird was updated.

The button used to be located immediately next to the "Body Text" selector in the formatting toolbar. Last Friday everything worked normally. Today (Monday) the button position changed.

Is this an intended UI change in Thunderbird 153, or is it a compatibility issue or bug?

If possible, is there any way to restore the button to its previous location near the formatting toolbar?

Thank you very much.

A message failed to send due to some issue with the mail server, and Thunderbird said I could choose to Send Later, which I chose to do. But that message disappeared (to me) - wasn't in Drafts, where did it go? Thanks,

Hi,

I'm having issues adding this email to Thunderbird. I did the steps below, but I am unable to add this email:

1. I enter my name and email (see image 1), then click Continue. 2. Outlook tab opens in my browser (see image 2). I enter my password and click Next. 3. Tab changes to Thunderbird - You're all Set (see image 3). 4. I go back to Thunderbird, and I see this (see image 4), then I click the Continue button. 5. After I click the Continue button, I see an error message (see image 5). 6. The email I tried to add isn't added, but the password is added to Thunderbird (see image 6).

When I go to https://outlook.live.com/mail/ in the browser I am logged in and can see my emails etc. So, the email address and password I entered is definitely correct. Also, Outlook has given Thunderbird access to the email account (see image 7).

Please advise what the issue is and how to fix it, so I can add the email to Thunderbird.

Thank you

I keep getting messages from 2 sites that give me a virus. Hoardpot AND contact@musterateam.com When I tried to unsubscribe it didn't work.

Tell me what to do please. Thanks

I have been trying to transition my Comcast.net email to Yahoo email mandated by Comcast. I have been using Thunderbird as an POP account for years with the comcast.net account. When sending emails through Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter my Comcast.net password. It worked fine. With the transition to Yahoo, my email password did not allow the Yahoo email to flow thru to Thunderbird. Yahoo stated that I need a four block with spaces, and 4 digits each block, Yahoo APP System generated password. When I keyed in that APP Password, everything would flow through. one time, Next time I want receive or send and email, I needed to key in the App Password. Yahoo stated that once entered it I would not have to use their system generated APP Password. Unfortunatley there was nowhere to save that password in Thunderbird. Yahoo then told me to remove and re-enter my Yahoo Account in Thunderbird.

I deleted the old profile that was originally my profile for Comcast.net and editied to the new Yahoo details, and started reestablishing that profile with the Yahoo Incoming Mail and outgoing smtp server information, Unfortunately upon re-entering my Yahoo information I have lost of of the existing emails/folders. that I had in Thunderbird. Now what do I do to recover all of those old emails & folders?? Help! I still have to use the original email address that has been converted to Yahoo. Any way to go back to Comcast to recover the data that consituted those old emails, or are they just lost?

My Thunderbird does look strange, though it works alright. It annoys me, there are black-gray rectanguler spots left top and bottom. It dissapears when in full screen mode. It is not in any other program. I add a picture. Is there anybody who knows how to solve this. Thanks, Hans, Netherlands

‘spam filters do not work. After 18 years of putting up with it I want block senders and sender ip's WHAT IS UP? WHY DON"T YOU FIX THIS - Do I have to go to M$oft?????’ for ‘Thunderbird’

Is there a way to change the default font color for replies in Thunderbird? Nothing I do works, and it is a real pain to have to manually change the color every time I reply to an email.

Thanks.

All of my emails are being marked as read immediately. I have that option turned off in settings on all devices. I am not using bit defender. This only started after I moved to a windows 11 computer. I only have one account. I have read the previous forum similar issues.

Addressing the problem, Practice Better says my acct is not blocked on their end. They say put

notifications@practicebetter.io in a safe senders list, but I can't find anything like that. How could I get my Thunderbird email acct to accept Practice Better's messages?

Thanks, Jane Kroll
