I'm using TB 115.6.0 on MacOS

About two days ago, a window popped up asking me to sign into Google calendar. I attached a picture of the window.

I entered my gmail address and gmail password and it said the data I entered aren't correct. (I am sure that the password I entered is correct. It's stored in 1Password and I can use it to sign into any of my Google accounts.)

The pesky window pops up about every half hour.

Any suggestions for making it go away?

Thanks! Clint

hi, I just went from Sylpheed to Thunderbird and my question is just an aesthetic question. the "local folders" label is always in bold and in my opinion isn't nice to see, it seems as if there is always something urgent to read. I tried to modify the ccs file, you can change font, color, set "font-weight: normal", but only this label always stays bold. thank you

A google workspace account I used to use has been deleted on google. I want to keep my repository of emails for that account. I have tried to tell tbird NOT to poll any servers re this account, but I think it still does.

For that account in server settings: - check for new messages at startup is off - check for new messages every x minutes is off - allow immediate server notifications when new messages arrive is off

I remove the SMTP setting for that account entirely.

The error message mostly shows up when I've switched from say Sent to Inbox. At those times I am not even looking at that accounts messages, there are other active accounts. The exact message is: Authentication failure when connecting to server imap.gmail.com I can't be positive that it is related to this now gone account that I still keep in thunderbird, but the issue did start when the account went inactive.

Hello. In Account Settings->Copies & Folders I've placed my subsidiary folders directly under the root which represents my account. See screenshot.

Accessing my mailbox via a web-mailer, the interface conforms to this setting. See screenshot.

But in the Thunderbird interface, my folders are arranged as shown in the screenshot. You can see that these folders are sub-folders of my Inbox. How can I correct this?

Thanks in advance. J-P

I continually receive this request for access to an account that is not one I have added to Thunderbird. How can I delete this email account and stop these annoying repetitive notices???

At the bottom of each 'card' for an email in 'card view', there's an entire like of empty space. Given that each card is only three lines high, that means 1/3rd of it is wasted and my display view for emails shows only 66% of the emails it could. That is not helpful.

Is there any way to get rid of that giant empty line?

Just recently I discovered the option "Prefer display name over message header" (German: Anzeigenamen statt Namen aus Kopfzeile der Nachricht verwenden) in the TB addressbook entries, but after upgrading from V115 to V128 the option has vanished.

Is there a substitute or is this a bug that will be fixed soon?

The letters in the folder list on the left and the Inbox are way too small. They didn't used to be. I don't kmnow why this happened. How can I change the letter size?

The app was recently updated automatically. Since then I am unable to read certain texts. I have checked color settings but there are no options that would correct these issues. (please refer to attached images)

Buen día, estoy teniendo problemas debido a que Thunderbird me esta borrando los email mayores a 14 dias. El correo lo tengo configurado como IMAP y lo tuve que configurar tambien como POP3 cuando ví que sufria de este problema. El servidor no está configurado para borrar los mensajes. Lo que hice para probar fue dejar de entrar por thunderbird hace un par de días e ingresar por la web y tomé nota de los correos existentes, hasta hoy (09/10/24) tenia email de los días 20/09 (19 dias) y 23/09 (16 dias) y al abrir Thunderbird estos se borraron. Paso captura de como estan configurados ambas cuentas (es la misma en diferentes protocolos)

La version de thunderbird es 128.3.0esr (64-bit)

I moved my email account from the home.pl server to zumbox.pl I delete the old account settings and connect a new server the program successfully connects to the new server and downloads and sends messages unfortunately, it is enough to restart the program, and after restarting I see a request for a password for the account on the old server, and all traces of the new one disappear

Hello, something has changed for the worse. The quick filter mode works badly. First of all, it is tiresome when I type a phrase in the quick filter box, then switch to another folder, and in the quick filter box the phrase has not been deleted and I have to delete it manually. This is impractical, and it used to be that when I changed folders, the quick filter mode would reset. Secondly, there are some problems with it, because in some folders like sent, it doesn't show any emails even though they are there. Only when I close the quick filter mode (although I never had to do it before) do the mails in sent appear. On the other hand, with quick filtering mode enabled, even when I delete everything that is entered there, it still doesn't show emails in some folders. The third last thing is the extended time to show mails that load quite long after typing a phrase in the quick filtering field. My work is severely slowed down by this. Thank you and hope that all this can be fixed.

Hello!

At some point, finding Events by description in the Unifinder worked already but it does not anymore.

Is there any way to search for event descriptions?

Thanks!

Hello, my thunderbird calendar does not fit in the display windows. I have 3 monitors - 21,24 and 27 inches. Thunderbird was on a window that is 24 inches. After moving to a window that is 21 the application did not compress the calendar and I do not see all days from Monday to Sunday only Monday-Saturday.

After moving to the largest window of 27 inches thunderbird stretched even more and then after moving to a window of 21 inches even more gaps were visible, this time I see only the days Monday - Thursday.

I need help, I want all days of the week to be visible on the 21 inch monitor and the calendar to be in its original size

I want to change settings in Thunderbird. Vivaldi 6.9.3447.51 (Stable channel) (64-bit) Revision 182bbf0e4fdf8cd7876d2b24819fde3147f9af97 OS Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.4894)

I tried all the other options in drop down menus all over and they all come up. But clicking on settings does nothing. I even went into account settings and tried clicking on Thunderbird Settings and it does nothing there also. Can I reinstall over the existing program without losing anything to try and see if that helps and fixes the problem?

I use the USHolidays calendar within Thunderbird. As of today, this calendar now includes all state holidays. Is it possible to delete or filter out all state holidays so that only the US (federal) holidays appear? Note that I am using Thunderbird version 115.15.0 (64-bit). Thank you in advance for your assistance.

my hotmail account just stopped allowing me to sign on. I was directed by microsoft to update my current settings which did not work Any suggestions? failed update procedure was as follows:

   Microsoft has recently implemented a policy update for new authentication methods.

Mozilla Thunderbird does support Modern Authentication and it is recommended that you ensure you switch to use those settings. Any account that you add to Thunderbird will now automatically setup using the proper settings. You have the following options: Option 1: Update Current Settings 1. Change Thunderbird's server settings: Select ≡>Account Settings. In the left pane, select Server Settings for your Outlook.com or Hotmail.com account. ForAuthentication method, select OAuth2 (instead of Normal password). 2. Change Thunderbird's authentication method for sending messages (SMTP): Select ≡ >Account Settings. In the left pane, select Outgoing Server (SMTP). In the right pane, select your Microsoft account and thenEdit…. <image> For Authentication method, select OAuth2 (instead of Normal password). <image> Select OK to save your changes. Option 2: Remove Current Account and Re-Add If you remove your current account from Thunderbird and then re-add it, the proper settings will be detected, and you will just need to sign in to be properly configured with Modern Authentication and the proper server settings. For detailed information and more content, you can refer to this link: Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps - Microsoft Support Hope this help you, please feel free to let me know how it goes. If there is any deviation in my understanding, please forgive me and provide me with more details. I am more than happy to continue to help you.

Right now the calendar display is pretty sparse, only showing the title. See the screenshot. I'd like to be able to show some of the other info that's in entries. For instance, I'd like to show location and description. How can I do that?

Thanks, BIll
