Recently Thunderbird released two upgrades that were installed on my PC upen opening Thunderbird. Unfortunately an essential plug in (BIDImail UI) failed to opertae since it is not compatible with the newer release. It took a while for the developer of the plgin to rlease a compatible version. Why is the upgrade installed without asking my permission? Regards,

Can someone explain why the emails I write are still spell-checked, even though I have unchecked "Check spelling before sending message" and "Check spelling continuously" in "Settings" countless times? Even the Thunderbird add-on "Replywithheader" still checks spelling, even though I have unchecked "spell-check" there too. I don't want spell-checking, but I can't get away from it! It really bothers me.

Any ideas?

Since today with the new version installed (Thunderbird 140.4.0esr) I basically canot open the emails in the inbox and any other folders; I can see the list of emails, but when I click on a single email they are "white", without any text shown. The email box is configured in IMAP
Actually the APP is useless
Installed on PC with WIN11, version 23H2.

Hi! I'm trying to set Thunderbird as the operating system default under Win 11. I tried to follow Mozilla's instructions: 1. Open the Settings application by pressing and releasing the Windows Start button, then clicking the gear icon. 2. Click the Apps icon, then click Default Apps in the list. 3. Click the icon under the heading Email to show your choices. 4. Select Thunderbird. The trouble is that at n. 3 there is no choice. There is only 'OutlookAccounts' and this item cannot be deleted or replaced. Can you help? All the best, Robifiori

Hallo allerseits,
ich öffne in Thunderbird meine Startseite der EMail und sehe, dass aus dem Buttom mit der Bezeichnung "Papierkorb" nun "Trash" wurde. Und unter "Vorlagen" jetzt heißt es jetzt "Drafts". Kann ich das wieder ins Deutsche herstellen? Meine Frau spricht kein Englisch und ich auch nur ein wenig. Vielen lieben Dank.

My email signatures are not being applied to replies/forwarders but they are there for new emails. When replying you see the signature just for a split second then it disappears. I used a *.htm type signature.
On the 14th October all was working fine. On the 15th October they stopped appearing. So something happened between those two days.
Can you help? I've tried all the proposed solutions that were previously posted but nothing is working up to now. Thanks Mark

Dear community members, Since receiving the Thurderbird release 140.4.0esr on Oct 14th, I have not been able to send email from any of my accounts (2xIMAP and 3xoffice365 through OWL). Nothing has changed in the account settings. Receive works ok. The usual easy fixes do not seem to work (restart, firewall switch-off, etc.). Any ideas beyond having to rewind to an earlier version and rebuild the whole thing (hopefully not!)?

I’m using Thunderbird to connect my Hotmail account. The setup shows as “successfully added,” but an error message appears:
“The operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account responded: User is authenticated but not connected.”
Previously, the connection worked perfectly, but starting this week, Thunderbird can no longer access or sync the hotmail mailbox.
How to fix this problem!!???

I've been using Thunderbird to access my Comcast email for two years now, without problems. Except yesterday & today, when I've been unable to send or receive emails, for no apparent reason. Yet, when I connect to my Comcast/Xfinity email via the Comcast browser website, sending and receiving of email works fine. This access problem began yesterday, 10/14/2025.
Same email address I've been using for about 20 years now, and same password. I made no changes to my Thunderbird or Comcast settings. Sending a test email to myself via the Comcast email website works fine. Clicking on the "Get Messages" icon in Thunderbird results in no action whatsoever. Sending a test message to myself in Thunderbird results in about a 40 second delay (usually it's 10 seconds), and then the error message "Login to server smtp.comcast.net with username don-peters@comcast.net failed." It then asks if I want to try again, but if I agree, the same error results. But there is also the option of "Enter new password". Click on that and the same error results, without even asking for a new password. But my password is OK, as evidenced by my Thunderbird settings and being able to log into Comcast browser email.
Yes, I've spent hours on the phone with Comcast on this issue, but they were of no help. One agent claimed that the issue was with Thunderbird, not Comcast, as its webmail worked fine. Two years ago, I had a similar problem I spent hours trying to solve. It turned out the problem then was due to Microsoft Outlook on my PC regularly trying to log into Comcast to ALSO download my email - BUT using the wrong password. Comcast interpreted these multiple failed login attempts as scammer attempts, and blocked ALL email logins from my PC. I fixed the problem by shutting down Outlook. But when I just spoke to Comcast they said the current problem was NOT due to my account getting blocked by them. But they couldn't give a reason for the blockage.
So, I now believe the problem lies with BOTH Thunderbird and Comcast. First of all, Comcast is somehow blocking my Thunderbird access attempts. But Thunderbird is also at fault for not reporting a SPECIFIC email login problem, so that we can address it - and fix it. If Thunderbird can be more specific as to why login attempts are failing, I can get back to them with the evidence - and hopefully solve the problem.
I've been using Thunderbird for about 30 years now, and I hate to give it up. But if this continues, I'll be forced to abandon Thunderbird.

Hi, On another laptop (Dell) and copied profile (attached screens). "Send" is gone (Ctrl+Enter works too). Can I reset my profile as it is? Not needing a new profile (I think) or how this helps.

How can I move Thunderbird 140 from Windows 10 to Windows 11 computer? The latest Thunderbird download is 143. But it doesn't recognize my copied profiles, in folders /Local and /Roaming. I have edited the profiles.ini to only see the one profile that I copied.
I migrated from Win10 (v140 ESR 32-bit) to Win11 (v143 64-bit). I copied both /Local and /Roaming folders. Thunderbird keeps showing “Account Setup.” profiles.ini contains two [Install...] blocks and I already removed them.
Can you help reset the install hash or rebuild the installs.ini file live with me? — that was a suggestion from a tech at JustAnswer.com
Thank you.

I get genuine messages from Bell. I get spam from Bel! (that's an exclamation mark) and others including an "e" with a mark under it like a cedilla. I would like to copy and paste that version into a filter but I have not been able to capture it. I can copy the <whoIam@isp.com> part but not the name. The answer is probably obvious, but it escapes me.
