Hi,

Is it possible to add a Thunderbird Settings option to show its email notifications on a Windows 11 PC ONLY when Thunderbird window is inactive and hidden behind other app windows on screen? When the client window is active, and new emails arrive and appear in it, there is no need to dublicate it by popup notifications, so this feature is redundant and should be auto off.

Email won't send with error message: "Must issue a STARTTLS command first. Verify email address in setting first and try again." I went to my settings and check that STARTTLS is the email connection security and my email address is correct.

I don't have and edit for account settings so I made sure it was correct then closed and restarted TB and restarted my computer. Neither worked for me.  I can receive message but not send anything out.

Trying to configure Thunderbird to work with hotmail again. It stopped working a few days ago. Following the 6-step instructions at the end of the thread on this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1436296

At step 3 I don't have OAuth2 in the drop-down menu. Just

No authentication Normal password Encrypted password Kerberos / GSSAPI NTLM

With OAuth2 selected in the places it *is* available, I just get Host contacted, sending login information... ad infinitum.

How do I fix it? Thanks.

TB Local Folders - can no longer see Local Folders and emails

Sometime around Sept 18-19, the Local Folders has become 'hidden' and not fully visible. My wife thinks she chose the 'Hide Local folders' option from the 'folder pane options'. I tried to disable/re-enable that option but Local Folders still do not show, even with that option disabled. There is 1 folder in Favorites that does show it is a sub-folder about 5 levels deep, (although most of the upper level folders will show emails when selected). There are 20+ folders shown in the Recent folders that do show emails as expected. When i select the 'All Folders' option under 'Folder Modes', nothing happens. The display does not change, and when i click back to show the options again, 'All Folders' is NOT selected (even though i just had selected it!).

I read though several topics related to Local Folders, but i do not see this specific issue. I verified the Local Folders directory on Windows does have data (.sbf, MSF, and File) and all the sub-directories. It contains about 4.3GB of data. I tried Copying the actual Local Folders directory on Windows to a new directory, and then changed the Local Folders Account settings configuration to use that new path, however same result, Still cannot see Local Folders entire directory structure. Using TB v128.30.esr. Have it configured to apply updates when available. I saw in the release notes there were updates released on or around Sept 18-19. I initially thought the Local Folders index was corrupted somehow on Windows, so i tried the 'Repair Folder' option on the 5 levels i could see in the 1 Favorite that was showing, especially the top level, however that did not change anything. Since I cannot see the whole Local Folder structure, i cannot try on any other folders. I now suspect there is an issue with 'Hide Local Folders' function. that seems to be what has caused all this.

will attach screen caps showing the menu options, and Recents/Favorites. I can provide others if needed. thanks for any guidance. Eric

I have been using Tbird for years and have never seen this issue. I have a client that when she sends an email, usually with PDF attachments, the email goes to the recipient but what gets placed in her sent folder is the header followed with random characters.

For example, this is what showed up in the sent email folder from a email sent with PDF attachment. This does not happen all the time but certainly happens enough for concern.

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, yesterday after trying to search for a message on my local folders suddenly all the messages dissapeared, the folder structure remains but the messages stored on them are gone. I've checked if it was a hard disk problem but it's OK, I ran a recovery software but couldn't find any message. I had 5 years of mail stored on local folders and now are lost. I've found in forums the same problems with Thunderbird v115.15.0. Is any way to recover the messages?

With the recent "drive" by microsoft to "2 step auth" (ie.oauth2) and its final steps of implementation, my older imac (ios 10.11) which was working with thunderbird (78.14.0 (64-bit)) now can not handle my outlook email account. During the process and adding back the account, you jump thru most of the setup and authorizing steps but it ultimately fails with the following

"AADSTS7000112: Application '08162f7c-0fd2-4200-a84a-f25a4db0b584'(Thunderbird) is disabled."

I guess there is some older version checks that have diabled this app??????

I am not able to update to any newer tbird version because of the "dated" imac. Is it possible to cause the app to be enabled somewhere in azure or whereever this check is done?

I know my system is old but so am I ... :-) Any guidance on how to get this working again would me much appreciated . I tried both "pop and "imap" settings but both resulted in the same error.

When viewers submit a form on our website, the incoming email usually appears as subject 'quote request' with their name as the 'correspondent'. But since 2 days ago every 'quote request' is showing the same name as 'correspondent', the name of another customer we have been emailing back and forth with. He was originally a 'quote request' from about 4 or 5 months ago. It has changed to this name on every quote request email we have on the system, even going back 12 months! I know this is not a TB problem because it has only happened on our laptop, all the quote requests are still showing correct names on TB on our PC. So, it would appear that we have inadvertently clicked on something. Any ideas what we could have done wrong and, more importantly, how we can undo it? thanks Chris

I have 2 email accounts on Thunderbird, both with the same ISP. I can get messages delivered to the inbox of my main account but Thunderbird no longer searches the server for messages on the secondary account. Both accounts are set up in Thunderbird with identical settings.

I have been online and read the support suggestions on how to resolve this but it hasn't worked. Support suggested it may be that the password has changed and advised me to remove the password from settings and next time I open Thunderbird I will be asked for my password. This did not happen. I removed the password from the account which is not downloading to my inbox and when I reopened Thunderbird I was not asked for the new password. However I can send emails from this secondary account.

I have checked webmail and there are definitely messages waiting there to download.

My main Thunderbird email (the one that is downloading messages to my inbox) is aparbury@comcen.com.au not the one showing on this log in.
