All of a sudden a number of emails are arriving with the correct subject line but the sender is listed as HotelMaven, with whom I do correspond. The emails are forwarded from my billsteiner@duck.com address. The sender, when viewed with BlueMail on my phone and tablet, is correct, so this is a Thunderbird issue.

Also, at the same time, Thunderbird began asking me for my password every time I open it. This has never happened before.

My Thunderbird email is bill@kikibobo.xyz. You can also reach me at wssteiner@yahoo.com. Thanks for your help. Bill Steiner

I have been avoiding the update from last year like the plague. It had so many bugs and crap I went back to the previous version 102 and stayed happy.

No more! I opened it today and viola' you didn't ask, you didn't warn, you simply updated to your so called "supernova" before I had a chance to even review it before deciding to use it.

What kind of crass corporate control is this? Instead of accepting that we can intelligently testing and deciding what we want, you give up on user discretion and, you force it down our throats.

Tell me how to stuff it and get back to something I know that works, THEN AND ONLY THEN, tell me how to upgrade if I decide to do so.

If you can't tell, this is NOT tongue in cheek, I'm PISSED!

I use Thunderbird for my work emails and the other day I opened the program and everything looked and functioned differently.

If I responded to an e-mail I used to get a copy of mine inline with the thread, and now that just isn't there.

In addition, the threads aren't together the way they used to be. I try to scroll through an email thread and now I have to click on the emails individually.

Is this an update, or did a setting get accidentally changed? Can I get it back to how it was? I'm not tech savy so if you want me to share settings please explain how to find them like you're talking to a child... I just want my email to be easy to use like it was before

I have configured 2 mailboxes in Thunderbird sent some test mails to see if it is working. Now everything works great, but somewhere there is a mail which Thunderbird tries to send out. Unfortunately it looks like the mail is created with mail account 1 and Thunderbird tries to send it with mail account 2. Of course the mail server denies to sent the mail, because the mail address is unknown to him. I checked all outboxes in Thunderbird and at the webinterfaces of the 2 mailboxes and found nothing. I removed all mail boxes and smtp configurations from Thunderbird and uninstalled it. After new installation I still facing the issue. Where can I find the mail Thunderbird is trying to send?

I am looking to see if it is possible to utilize Thunderbird for a very specific use case on macOS.

We would like to use Thunderbird as an email reader only essentially - we do not want new email addresses to be added nor do we want the existing account to be edited.

Is there a way to disable making changes to the client, or at least disable making changes to the accounts added/disable adding new accounts to the client? Locking these options behind an admin prompt would also work.

Bonus points if this is all manageable via a .plist or .js file.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if this should be obvious to me: Can I have a unified folder containing only individually-chosen folders from several accounts?

In K9 on Android I can select one by one which folders from several accounts go into Unified view. Can I do that in Thnderbird itself? It looks like either I can do unified view, which unifies eg Inbox and Send but doesn't let me pick which others specific folders are included, or I can Favourites view which lets me pick folders but doesn't unify them. Can I do both?

Many thanks.

New TB user here. I sent myself some pictures from my phone, 5 or 6. I have the email on my laptop, but the images are firstly huge and go way off the screen, secondly I can't find a way to easily save them all at once. I have to scroll and right click each one and save as. Weirdly when I right cilck there's an option to "select all", great! so I chose that to select all, then right clicked and saved again. It didn't save all, just the one I clicked on?! I'm sure there must be a better way to save all attachments/images, hopefully someone can advise thanks

I have a new Windows 11 and want to download these emails from the server onto my pc.

I follow article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1282954, but my new PC doesn't have the option "Account Settings > Synchronization & Storage" (it does on the old) instead it has 'Disk Space' in the same place in the option list.

Waht am I missing?

If not, how do I transfer the mail file from the old pc to the new pc (maintaing the folder structure etc...

I've got TB 115.5.0 on Windows 11, been using TB for some 10-15 years, but not a programmer of any sort. Something weird happened, where the order of the emails in a folder was all wrong, and I pressed the Date header to get it to sort back under Date. No proper response. Rebooted computer. On re-opening, the emails in the same folder are in order except this weird file at the top with a 2015 date, which now contains all of my important .eml files converted to attachments to this email, but without any ability to detach attachments. Those .eml files no longer exist in the folder as emails, they only exist as attachments to this weird email. When I try to delete the file, I get a warning that 98 emails will be deleted, but in fact those emails now only exist as attachments. I right clicked and got an option to "Forward as Attachments", so I sent myself an email that has all those .eml files as attachments (29 MB). Right now I have not collected that email into TB, it's just sitting on the gmail site.

So, if possible, I need to know how to convert those .eml attachments back into active emails in my folder. Does my request and problem make any sense? Is there any way to get my correspondence back? All my other folders appear to be normal.

I have all my files backed up in the cloud. Is it possible to get back a single folder from my TB backup there? And actually, I haven't collected email in a couple of days, so I could just get my entire TB backup if I had to, then collect the most recent email. Need help and advice, please.

Thank you, --Victoria

Since a week or two, Thunderbird displays all emails, in all accounts, in all boxes (in, sent, drafts, deleted, etc) as dating from "June". An email received 1 March 2024 is dated 01.06.2024; the previous email (of 29 February 2024) is displayed as 29.06.2024 (see screenshots). I have emails form "31.06.2024", "31.06.2023", "31.06.2022", and so on. It continues through all emails, down to the oldest one I am keeping of 25 October 2013, displayed as 25.06.2013.

When I open a mail in a separate tab or window, the same 'June' date is there. The correcte data information is not lost: I can still correctly sort my emails on date and when I forward an email, it contains the corrected date.

The problem persisted after update to the latest version (115.9.0). Mac Monterrey 12.7.3.

When composing a new message (in other words, not replying to a message) I want them to always show the default email address, the one corresponding to the top account. The field "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" shows (Default), and ordinarily it works fine, but occasionally it will use one of the other email addresses. In reading your responses to other questions I've seen that the default address is only used when TB can't figure out which address to use. Is there some way I can tell TB to ALWAYS use the default address when composing a new message?

I'd hoped this question was answered at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer, but that article assumes a Mac-to-Mac migration, and it doesn't work for a Windows-to-Mac migration. The discussion at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1324908 addresses the issue, but what the poster did to get things working is rather vague ("I took more from one [response] and a little from the other two...]. Can someone please summarize or point me to a summary of what needs to be done to move the files in a TB installation on Windows 10 to MacOS 14 Sonoma so that the installation on the Mac will work like the one on Windows did?

I have a lot of old mail, so my TB directory is over 40 GB. Copying it from my Windows machine to my Mac (either over a network or via a USB drive) takes quite a while, so I'm trying to avoid any more trial and error than I've already gone through.

Thanks.
