I-Thunderbird Community Forum

hello, i had a friend and his father needed urgently to migrate his thunderbird with 1 email to a new computer but he wasnt able to setup the emailaccount in a new german client. i helped and the problem was that the setup asks for the password but it meant the password from the emailprovider to allow thirdpartyapps access. please consider to improve the german setup wizard by adding a new textline to clearify. best regards

It seems that US English is the default dictionary on Thunderbird. I'd like to uninstall it so that the Canadian English dictionary is the default one.

How do I rid myself of the US dictionary?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may render.

Hello everyone.

Lately a get my emails from greek senders like in the screenshot, not everyone, but most of them. I tried many things like, changing mime variable from false to true, removing addons, repair folder, repair font to no avail. I also disabled antivirus. The questios marks are also in the "ctrl+U" screen and the fonts looks utf-8 as normal in the header. They look normal online or the yahoo mail app in iOS. Anyong knows how to fix this?

Thanks in regard.

I recently move to a new Windows 11 computer and seemed to have done the move correctly, given that everything showed up, and I could send and receive emails.

For no apparent reason, however, the keyboard suddenly began mistyping in the message portion of the email message frame but not in the header ("To," "Subject," etc.) areas. For example, when pressed, z appears as {, y as z, h as i (but followed by a space), 6 as 7, d as e, and so on.

I tried various fixes, which didn't work, such as pressing windows key + space bar simultaneously, or left alt + space bar simultaneously, to no effect at all: nothing appeared, nothing happened. I looked in "Settings" to see if there were any other keyboards listed, which there weren't.

This is happening nowhere else, in any other application, but here, and I've never seen anything like it before. Also, I've used Thunderbird for quite awhile and never saw nor heard of anything like this.

I sure could use some help. Thanks.

For at least the last 10 years, Thunderbird spell-checker has rejected contractions such as "don't" in the emails that I type. It highlights "don" as a misspelled word, ignoring the apostrophe and "t". How can I force it to recognize contractions? Adding every contraction in the English language to the dictionary is not a practical answer.

Not a question - just a recommendation.

Wanted to install British English. Chose 'language pack' option, presuming that would include everything. But no dictionary was installed.

Tried again, choosing 'dictionary' (why two options, different files?) Correct dictionary installed.

Instructions should say "Do NOT install the language pack".
