I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Back in 2015 someone asked about the fact that emails are not marked "as read" once opened but I don't think the answer was ever fully given. They were told: "This option has always been available and I use it. via Menu Bar Tools > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display or via menu icon menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display select: 'automatically mark messages as read' Select: 'Immediately on display' click on OK When you select/left click an email in the list, it will auto open and display in the Message Pane below the list. If you use double click, it will auto open in a new tab or window depending upon what you selected. In bth instances the message will be immediately marked as read." Here's my problem with that .... I don't use the "Message Pane", I don't like it. I have my incoming messages set at "table view" and they are all just listed down the page by date. I don't want to see what's in the email until I actually open it....but, once I open it and read it when I close out of it the email still stays BOLD in the list....this didn't used to happen, once I read the email the BOLD went away. When I use the "automatically mark message as read immediately on display" then new emails are not in BOLD so I can't tell if they've been read or not. Bottom line, is there a way to have messages marked "read" AFTER they are opened WITHOUT using the message pane??

I'm using release 102.2.2. My domain and email are hosted at GoDaddy (GD). After moving to a new house on Aug. 30, Thunderbird (TB for short) on my MS laptop can't connect to the account at GD. I use a pw manager and get the error [Enter your password for xxxxxxx.com on outlook.office365.com:"] Entering the pw stored in my password manager for other sites is working well, including this one at Mozilla. The stored login to GD email goes to my inbox on the GD Outlook server, so I assume the GD password works there but it doesn't for the account on TB. GD email imap/pop settings are in the attached image. What can I try next?

Using TBird 102.11.0: I have two accounts in TBird, A and B. I have a different smtp server configured for each one. I have flagged the server for Acct B as the default which worked fine until the last upgrade yesterday. Now when I write, it only selects the server for A. I can use the drop down to select the B server, but I want that as the default when I WRITE from the A account. If I WRITE from the B account, it works fine. How can I get it to use the B server all the time unless I manually select the A server?

I had to leave Thunderbird because every time I try and create a customized signature, as much as Thunderbird excels in that area, the image storage drops the filename's path every time.

Example:

image loaded: http://rich.allcorn.us/files/headshot.png

when I go back to it: headshot.jpg

It forgets the path, so the file doesn't show up in the eMail. I purposefully put it "on the web" so it could be accessed from anywhere!

When is Thunderbird going to fix this so I can leave Apple's mail program and go back to Thunderbird?

I am using TB under Ubuntu 22.04 ONLY because Gnome Evolution is requiring OAuth2 for IMAPX accounts that don't provide such authorization. TB and Outlook 365 (under Win 10) don't have that problem.

TB has a major, major problem in that it will not keep constant font, font-size, and line-spacing when I write or reply to emails. Why can't TB hold an exact font size (e.g., Arial 11). and line spacing (single) when I compose or reply to emails. I have seven (7) email accounts and I should not have to worry about having to set properties for each.

1. 1. What Happens

Everything worked fine. Computer simply shut off due to low battery. I rebooted, and when I opened Thunderbird flatpak version 115.1.1 (thunderbird-flatpak - 1.0), the "set up account" screen showed up with none of my previous settings and accounts.

1. 1. What I Tried

I tried importing my profile manually, but in the console it gives the following error: ``` Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not open the file at /home/user/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/prefs.js ```

I tried importing both `~/.thunderbird` and `~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird` and it gave the same error.

Then, I tried moving all my data from `~/.thunderbird` to a `~/thunderbird-backup` folder, create a new profile *fake* in with the thunderbird "set up account" screen, delete the data it just created in the new `~/.thunderbird` profile, and finally move back in my data from `/thunderbird-backup`.

Now the error `Uncaught (in promise) DOMException` does not show up anymore. However, it does not resolve the issue.

It looks like the import operation works fine, as it tells me it is finished and that it needs to reboot. However, when it reboots, it comes back again with the same "set up account" screen, and none of my data is on there.

Any idea what’s going on? Also, why are there two `.thunderbird/` folder with profiles in it (one in `~/.thunderbird` and one in `~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird`)? Is it part of the problem?

Please can you stop updating Thunderbird, or at least give us poor users the option of whether to accept them? Every time you update it I like Thunderbird less.

I was guided to use Thunderbird by my computer repair man when Outlook Express became unavailable to me. Gods, I miss good old Outlook Express; I could do anything I wanted with that.

Wish to add extra email address - Errors - Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong config, username or password. Click on IMAP Did not work Click on POP3 Did not work

Like many, I'm getting Authentication error using gmail. I had no problems on my old computer under Windows10. When moving to a new computer with Windows11, my main gmail did install. However, 2 other emails, I also need, will not install without this error. I'm using McAfee LiveSafe antivirus on the new computer. If I can't solve this, I'll no longer be able to use Thunderbird (which I like!).

I have already several times asked my question and have received no reply so far. Could you please reply to my e-mail: jean-pierre.biber@natcons.ch Here my question again: Good evening I have been using Thunderbird mail for ages, and now suddenly diverse thing don't work anymore: I can't chose my signatures anymore, the language correction does not work anylonger, and when I print things they come out wrong. Can you please help me fix that? My email is jean-pierre.biber@natcons.ch Kind regards Jean-Pierre Biber

When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

I have an Outlook email account which I manage using Thunderbird.

For reasons not known to me some strange folders have appeared in the folder list. The folders in question all have italian names and appear to be some sort of system error folders - Problemi di sincronizzazione.

I do not recognise them, they are empty and are not visible when I view the outlook account using a browser.

I would like to delete them but when I attempt to do so I get an error message "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account Outlook responded:Command Argument Error. 11."

Any help to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance

A couple weeks ago my ATT email just stopped working. I spent a long time on the phone with ATT support and finally got it back up and running, however, fixing it created another issue.

I had set up a number of sub-folders under my Inbox. When I was talking to ATT, they insisted that I needed to delete my original email account and then had me create it again. Before deleting the ATT email account from Thunderbird I asked what would happen to my email folders and the email in them. I was assured that the folders would come back after setting up a new AA account configuration in Thunderbird. THE FOLDERS DID NOT COME BACK!

I desperately need some of the things in those email folders. I have been searching all over for information about where they are stored and how I get them back, but I cannot find them. Can anyone here help? Please if you know where my sub-folders are and how I can get to them, please reply. Thank you!

I can't open my Excel attachments in ThunderBird.

Is there a setting I need to open. The one I use by default only gives me word, wordpad options. or choose my own, which is still word and wordpad.

Thanks for any help.

I'm using ThunderBird 115.7.0 and Windows 10.

Suddenly I can not receive my emails on Thunderbird. They do show up on my cell phone. When I send an email, I get the following, "Your message was sent, but a copy was not placed in your Sent folder due to network or file access errors. What can I do?? Ed PS I will get your email response on my cell phone, thank you.
