I was getting a message ( there is no email program associated to perform the requested action) when trying to send a scan to an email recipient. Thunderbird is set as the default email program app. I finally installed Thunderbird setup 139.0.2 to update Thunderbird and checked the box to keep all files but now I have lost most of the sub files in one of my folder marked Local folder, and contact list. This file was not associated with an email address but where I put important info from emails I receive. Any suggestions on how to recover his file information?

Greetings,

I recently updated to Thunderbird 140. After the update, I am unable to open .eml files by double clicking on them. I receive message window (attached image). If I do File->Open->SavedMessage I can successfully open the file. Please advise how I can get Thunderbird to open .eml files regardless of the instance of Thunderbird that originally created the file.

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.
