I used to use these add-ons

Old Icon Phoenity Buttons Phoenity Icons

to make Thunderbird more attractive, but now I'm having constant problems. The interface has become schizophrenic, and every time I open it, the icons have a different style, so I've been forced to disable the add-ons.

The question is, are there any supported add-ons left? I can't find any on the website. :(

Windows 11 64bit. I have Outlook and Gmail accounts. About 6 months ago the Outlook accounts stopped sending messages. Ok, I can live with that as I only use them sparingly. I tried lots of tweaks from this forum but none worked. I am not technically minded so I may have interpereted the wrongly. After the last update 9/10 July 25, the Outlook accounts fail to open. Says something about cookies not enabled on browser. I added the logins to the exceptions but no change. The cookies show on the list as on the PC. So I can't use Outlook anymore. Gmail. Now I can't send any messages from Gmail accounts. Just waits ages and says try again. The email I was replying to disappeared from my inbox when I logged through Google Gmail account. It shows on Thunderbird. I also tried to set up a new Gmail account on Thunderbird, would let me. So now, Thunderbird is useless to me. Shame, I liked it and even donated. How could something go from good to useless in one update?

How can I stop Thunderbird from displaying its own advertising/donation page on my browser when I open Thunderbird? It opens this page on my default browser, no matter which is chosen: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/128.0/whatsnew/?locale=en-US&version=128.6.1&channel=esr&oldversion=102.8.0 If the browser is not open, it will open it.

This is the result of trying to keep Thunderbird from automatically upgrading. In newer versions, the option to choose not to upgrade has digressed from difficult to not available. It did such an upgrade, so I de-installed and reinstalled my original version, only to have this issue.

I was very satisfied with my old version AND see no need for new any of the "features" or look. And, especially, once such a setting is made, don't want Thunderbird, or any other application or app, changing it back. This is a violation of privacy at best.

Worse yet, Thunderbird is attempting to penalize the customer for making a choice on their own computer by infecting the machine with nuisanceware.

Hi, at the top of the picture are 6 emails. Towards the bottom, highlighted in blue, is another email, RPAiken4@gmail. How can I get that one to be in the group of 6? TYIA

My old Windows10 computer died, but I have an external backup with my Thunderbird profile folder. In the meantime, I have been able to resurrect an old Windows10 computer to continue receiving email, but was not successful transferring the backup profile. Thus, I have "new" profile on this second computer containing only the recent emails not in the backup profile.

I've purchased a new Windows11 computer. My question is: How can I merge my old emails in the backup profile with the recent emails received after the backup was made? In other words, is it possible to merge two separate profiles into one? Thanks.

Hi all. Is it possible to send 400 mails and attach different .pdf files.? I have the e-mail list in a cvs file, and 400 *.pdf files placed in a folder. I know that it might be done i Google mass mail, but I would prefer to use Thunderbird the same way. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Am getting this message along with a recurring download of a specific email (keeps coming back even after deletion) that does not allow any other new messages to be downloaded. I do see new emails on my phone but will not read into Thunderbird??

Error: "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

Tried: Troubleshooting, closing Thunberbird and reopening, rebooting windows system, compacting, etc. to no avail....

I have a Suddenlink.net email account that I can't seem to install. Suddenlink has been purchased by Optimum. I have all the requirements that Optimum has given, but it still won't load. my email address is dluenser@suddenlink.net. My password is correct because I can go to their site and get my emails. These are the requirements that they gave me. Again, it is a suddenlink account. Can you help? I've tried numerous times to work with Optimum techs, but they are not knowledgeable to what I should do.

Server Settings by Domain Use the following server settings to set up most third-party email clients or applications to send or receive Optimum email. IMAP (Inbound) Optimum incoming mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink incoming mail server: imap.suddenlink.net Incoming mail port (SSL): 993 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports) POP (Inbound) Optimum incoming mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink incoming mail server: pop.suddenlink.net Incoming mail port (SSL): 995 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports)

SMTP (Outbound) Optimum outgoing mail server: mail.optimum.net Suddenlink outgoing mail server: smtp.suddenlink.net Outgoing mail port (SSL): 465 (Secure Connection. Recommended if your mail client supports) • Check My SMTP server requires authentication Username and Password (if needed) User Name: Your full email address, including the @domain.net at the end (i.e. @optimum.net, @suddenlink.net) Password: The password for your particular email address • Outgoing server verification/authentication must be enabled and on. If your email client has the option or checkbox that says My outgoing server requires authentication this will need to be checked along with use same settings as my incoming mail server.

My filters seem to work for emails received but not for ones I've sent. I use the rule "From, To, CC or BCC" combined with a persons email name (i.e. preceding the @ sign) and while From works the To doesn't and remain in my sent folder. Periodically I have to use "Run Filters on Folder" or "Run Now" from within the Sent folder to move everything to their respective folders. Do I have to have a separate rule just for "To"?

I just updated to version 140.0 and now my subfolders are out of order. Is there a fix for this, short of fixing it manually? I miss how they were automatically alphabetized. That went away when manual reordering was implemented. I can't grab a bunch at the same time and move them, since the order is so messed up.

Hi I have a company email account with a large amount of emails accessible from several computers. I created a local folder in Thunderbird on my NAS drive and directed the locations to it on my computers. I have emails sorted by year, as well as received and sent. When I open the program, I can see the email subject, recipient, and date. However, I can't open any of the messages; both the quick preview and the separate window show a white background. What's the problem?

Hi, My Thunderbird email has stopped downloading emails from my server. I click to download emails, get a message saying "downloading 1 of 25" but no progression from here onwards. No messages are downloaded. I have made no changes to the settings and it has been working well for many years. wifi is connected.

Thank you for help to restore this.

I have followed the instructions provided here: https://support.mozilla.org/tn/questions/1397110

1. Keep settings in Settings>Composition at default (medium) 2. In Settings>General>Fonts & Colors>Advanced, change Latin Proportional and Monospace to 22 3. In Settings>General>Fonts & Colors>Advanced, change Other Writing Systems Proportional and Monospace to 22

The fonts in my messages are still tiny. What is the 2025 solution please?

Thank you!

Every now and then a folder flag will change to the drafts flag/icon, it seems to be a random occurrence which can happen to any sub-folder. Up until the most recent Thunderbird upgrade I had a working extension called FolderFlags which allowed me to go into the Folder properties and change it back but that extension no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird and there is no alternative extension. How do I change the flag back to it showing as an ordinary sub-folder in my Inbox instead of Drafts? As an interim measure I've created a new sub-folder and copied the emails from the old into the new but that's not ideal at all. I hope somebody will create an updated extension but has anyone any other suggestions please?
