As per the subject.

I've got long list of folders and subfolders. Trying to create a saved search to show the tagged/important stuff, but I can't select the top level to tick the lower level folders and ticking all folders would be rather time-consuming.

Please tell me there's some obscure solution that makes this clunky interface at least somewhat usable?

I need to forward the source information from emails I am receiving. Specifically these are spam emails that appear to be sent to me by me but of course I do not send myself spam. My email provider says I need to send him the source information from these emails but the only way I have found to do this is to open the source material and either 1) save it as a pdf or 2) cut and paste the source material into a new email message to my email provider. Both of these are tedious. In the old days I could expand the email header to reveal the source information and then forward the entire email with header (source info) visible but this option no longer seems available. Can you please help me? Much appreciated. --Harriet

A few versions of Thunderbird back, I could easily change the order of Local Folders by pressing down with the left mouse button and sliding the folder to the desired positions.

Now I can no longer do this.

Re-ordering local folders alphabetically would be helpful too.

Suggestions, please.

Hello! Thanks for your help with my situation.

I want to leave google so am trying Firefox. I like it except that I can't see all the tabs that I need to use at once. There is a slider function so I can only see 14 tabs. Then there are little arrows pointing left and right so I can have access to the other pages.

Is there a way that I can see all of the tabs I have open at once?

If I not, I may need to use another search engine.

Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Kathryn

I've tried seeing if anyone has had this issue but i'm not finding a thread.

TL;DR. Gmail authentication screen pops up but does not allow authentication. It deletes your email input and prompts for your email again.


FULL EXPLANATION: Thunderbird 101.0b4 and my gmail account was previsiously configured and working properly. My Gmail 2FA/MFA was in place before I set up my gmail in Thunderbird again.

I am not sure at what point it stopped working. I don't remember what possible change could have triggered this on my end. Nor do I know if it happened with it specific upgrade to Thunderbird.

For the last few weeks, I occasionally open Thunderbird to access my gmail and it attempts to fetch my email from google but it's unable to authenticate. A Gmail authentication screen pops up but does not allow authentication. I input my email address I hit enter. It deletes my email input and prompts for my email again. It gives no error message and does not change screens. It does not prompt for the password. Nothing.

I'm not seeing any security issues presented with Google. So I'm not sure what's blocking this.

This week, I started noticing people aren't getting my emails. I changed nothing that I know of in Thunderbird to create a propblem. I'm using Thunderbird 91.9.1 (32-bit). My outgoing smtp settings are:


Server Name - smtp.comcast.net Port - 465 Connection secrity - SSL/TLS Authentication method - normal password user name - ehersh316@comcast.net


The meesages I create go into my "sent" folder, but do not arrive at their destination. I did try a 'test' message to myself at the comcast address, and it comes to my inbox. But gmail and other addresses are not going through. I called Comcast and verified the port 465 as correct, and they had me try 587 which didn't work either. I log onto Comcast in my browser, and I can send email from there as a work-around. Can you help? thanks,
