I am using the current version of Thunderbird, I have been noticing for awhile now that changes I make to my profiles (adding new email accounts or changing smtp servers) are not being saved. In looking at my profile folder. I noticed several prefs-xx.js file but no prefs.js file. The last pref-xx file I have is from 2022 and it stopped at prefs-32. My question where did the prefs.js file go and how do I get it back.

Thanks Dan

Hello. I have my outlook.com account set up in Thunderbird 115.10.1. When I delete emails in Thunderbird from my inbox, they disappear and they go to the Deleted folder in Thunderbird as they should, but they aren't deleted on the Outlook server. I can still see them in my inbox if I use my Outlook app on my phone. I must delete them using my phone.

If I delete an email on my Outlook app on my phone, they disappear immediately in Thunderbird, which is correct. In other words, it works correctly if I delete from my phone, but not from Thunderbird.

My server settings are: Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Server Name: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: Deleted on <myaccount>@outlook.com

Can anyone help? Thanks!

(TLDR; Questions in bold at the bottom)

I currently have just a desktop Mac. I recently switched from Apple Mail to Thunderbird to read three email accounts: iCloud, gmail & a university account. I had previously used rules at the server level on my iCloud account, and this caused hella pain during the migration, including some zombie rules that I think I have isolated to Thunderbird. I deleted the rules from iCloud, removed the iCloud account from Thunderbird, restarted and then re-added it to Thunderbird. So far, so good, although I had to resubscribe to the draft, junk and trash folders (all other than the inbox) for some reason.

I have decided to experiment with not using rules or folders at all, and instead use local saved searches in Thunderbird. This will make my life easier when I get a laptop, which is inevitable. Two machines reading the same IMAP emails with rules can get weird.

Can I copy/paste existing saved search folders, so I can do similar searches just by making minor changes to the search terms? If so, how?

Can I copy/paste or save saved search folders, so I can do the same searches on a different Mac, without painstakingly recreating all the search terms? If so, how?

Can I create a saved search folder that contains all the messages not found in any OTHER saved search folder? If so, how?

I am using TBird v115.10.1 and I need to be able to EXPORT my contacts to an Excel .CSV file. My version of TBird does not offer any customisation of the Export function.

hi all guys ... I'm experiencing several issues with oauth2 authentication, and I never had any issue before February the 2024 ... at the beginning the only account I have was not working was a microsoft account, so I thought it was "because of microsoft restriction"

but now, little by little, all my accounts requiring oauth2 authentication are failing, and I don't know were to check ...

I do NOT have any httpd/apache server running on localhost

I already tried changing things like general.useragent.compatMode.firefox or network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https

I also created another blank profile ... but again ... not way to make it works ...

cookies are permitted ... javascript is enabled ...

the result is always the same ... a blank page when I try to do any oauth2 authentication ...

if I manually copy/paste that link in Firefox/Chrome it perfectly works, so it's not a network connection issue ...

from what I can understand, it seems to be related to the "built-in browser" in thunderbird, that for some reason does not work "as expected" ... If I try to click on any link for example in the settings page

like the "learn more" link of this option Send web sites a “Do Not Track” signal that you don’t want to be tracked "learn more" thunderbird does NOT show anything ...

something is broken, and I can NOT understand what it is ...

is there anyone with some good advices?

please let me know

thanks in advance

Stefano

Using windows 10, windows firewall, windows antivirus, Thunderbird 115.9.0 (32-bit)

Can't send from Optimum accounts.

Error message "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Spam detected by content scanner. Message rejected (ID 661FD756017B2BC6). Please check the message and try again."

Check outgoing server setting, tried changing authentication method, but got the same error.

I am having older Thunderbird 102.13.1 and when i input into a search field for example: 37.19.223. or "37.19.223." or "37\.19\.223\." it always stupidly and uselessly output tons of messages that contains unrelated IPs:

([76.223.177. [10.223.144.96]

highlighting number 223 as if i have searched just for this number 223

I think that it is reasonable to expect from TB to output only search results where email contains 37.19.223. without any hack, escaping or regex or whatever (if you know a workaround, please kindly share it).

Maybe newer TB works better? Anyone tried? If it works same way, can you please kindly ask developers to fix this?

Here's the technical details: Win 10 Home 22H2 Build 19045.4291, Mozilla TB Thunderbird Version 78.4.0 Build ID 20201019003438 Distribution ID Update Folder C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates\8216C80C92C4E828

This AM I was able to check / get e-mail five (5) or more times. Then clicking 'Get Mail' displays; connecting to mail.duo-county.com After 15-20 seconds connection to server mail.duo-county.com; Timed Out

I know of NO changes to any setting. When our e-mail was set up, we were told to set we were told to use Pop-3. Our ISP, who does NOT use NOR 'know' TB said we should be using IMAP, could NOT help review nor doing anything without risking ALL folders - files-data!

PLEASE help ASAP. Since we can't get - check mail I'm LOST! My spouse's e-mail is wpj@duo-county.com

Hello people of Firefox,

I'm attempting to deploy Mozilla to our android devices using MDM but need to be able to use our organization's Certificates.

I know I can manually go into the secret menu and set it to use third party CAs and that works but when deploying to over 500 devices that's not feasible...

Is there any configuration keys I can access to be able to remotely configure the application to use third-party CAs? (These are normally referred to as key-value pair)

Thanks.

I am encountering a peculiar issue with the "Reply to All" functionality in Thunderbird, which I believe may be a bug or an unintended behavior within the application. I hope you can provide guidance or a solution.

Issue Description: When I attempt to "Reply to All" to an email that I previously sent (which is the last email in a conversation thread), Thunderbird automatically alters the sender's address. Specifically, instead of maintaining me as the sender, it changes the sender to the one (or the first one, if there's more) of the original recipients' addresses. As a result, the email appears as if it's being sent by the recipient back to themselves. This messes with the recipient's folders and rules, as the message has no indication it's been sent by me. This happens when I initiate the "Reply to All" action from the Sent folder on emails where I was the original sender. This only happens in one of the email accounts I'm using in Thunderbird, and it's a POP Mail Server type account.

Steps to Replicate:

Send an email to one or more recipients. Go to the Sent folder and open the email that was just sent. Click on "Reply to All." Notice that the sender's address is automatically changed to one of the recipients' (typically the first one, if there are more recipients). Expected Behavior: The sender's address should remain as my email address, not change to a recipient's address, ensuring the email is correctly identified as being sent by me to the other recipients.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:

Verified that no extensions or add-ons are causing this behavior. Checked for any relevant settings within Thunderbird that could influence this behavior but found none. Updated Thunderbird to the latest version available. I would appreciate any advice, solutions, or workarounds you can offer to prevent Thunderbird from automatically changing the sender's address in this scenario. Please let me know if there are any logs or additional information I can provide to assist in resolving this issue.

Question: How I can access shared folders in Thunderbird?

Office 365 business. I can access admin portal etc:

portal.office.com/adminportal

And also I can go to Exchange admin portal via this. So, in my opinion I can use all deep settings also.

Office 365 licenses (full) for name.lastname@company.fi. Portal show "Office 365 business standard".

I create also shared folders. Today shared folders found from "Teams groups". Log in to portal.office.com/adminportal, "Teams-Groups", and then "Shared mailboxes".

My conf: Office 365 business standard found name.lastname@company.fi. ("john.smith@company.fi", "alice.brown@company.fi" as example.)

Shared mailboxes sharebox1, sharebox2, so, it is possible receive email sharebox1@company.fi, sharebox2@company.fi etc. (in real life share box names are bookkeeperteam@company.fi, orders@company.fi, helpdesk@company.fi etc etc.)

CONFIGURATION IS FULLY WORKING. It is, in Outlook it is possible receive and send emails, shared folders with messages are available etc.

------ 

HOW I can add shared folders to Thunderbird? Clean install tested.

1. LIcenced mailboxes work properly in Thunderbird. Tested.

name.lastname@company.fi:

Server: outlook.office365.com, port 993 Username: name.lastname@company.fi Connection security: SSL/TSL Auth: OAuth2

And smtp: smtp.office365.com, 587, starttls, oauth, name.lastname@company.fi.

This configuration work properly, and it is possible receive and send email from Thunderbird.

SHARED FOLDERS

It is not possible add shared folders.

Server: outlook.office365.com, 993 Username: name.lastname@company.fi/sharebox1 (where name.lastname is real working account name, just same as in position 1- working account. Also this sharebox1 work in outlook.) Connection security: SSL/TSL (no difference is it this or stattsl) Auth: OAuth2

(I am sorry, all my systems are native language, so I must translate---)

OK: Now I try use this shared folder. It is visible in Thunderbird. But immediately thunderbird open Browser and ask password: "name.lastname/sharebox1", wrtite password. Now I put same pw as in this account (name.lastname..). "Password wrong." I try empty password. I try account password.

SO: HOW to add shared mailbox in Thunderbird? This information "name.lastname/sharebox" not work. Is it any other method? Or any Exchange setting modification make this?

When send a calendar event to an Attendee list I get an email notification if they've accepted or declined but I cannot see the status in the actual event. I also cannot manually update the attendee status. I should be able to see attendee status in the event shouldn't I?

Using Thunderbird 115.10.1 on Ubuntu

Hi there, My preview panel is working very badly, it either shows the content of the email or is completely white. What can I do to remedy it? - In some cases the emails appear in very strange codes, thousands of lines like this (iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAPAAAABGCAYAAADyxhn6AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACx jwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAA) - in other cases, totally blank - in other cases it's everything ok It's working fine, receiving and sending all emails.

I have windows 11 home edition. Thanks

After updating Thunderbird to 115.5.2 I receive an error when I check (get) messages of my gmail account : 'The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and size......'. However, the messages do come in and so the error turns out false. since the authorization (OAUTH2) credentials are accepted.

I have my server settings check messages from startup; every 5min; automatically download new messages. That works fine. Again only when I goto "Get Messages" the error shows up.

What is wrong here and ho do I fix this? Thank you
