I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello to all, I am having a real challenge with the latest version(s) of Thunderbird (115.8.1) on Windows 10 (i7 with 16Gbs Ran, 1TB SSD)

Background... Have been trying to add some accounts from a domain and this is where it seems to got astray. Added one account (acc#1) some time ago. At that time there was some issues at the time with the changing of the mail servers and the old provider. Left it partially entered within Thunderbird. With that, waited for a week or two to re-add these addresses. The one left was still there, redid the server settings, and added several other addresses from that domain. All seemed to be working just fine at that point... So closed out Thunderbird and shutdown the computer.

Upon rebooting the computer and opening Thunderbird... The account that was partially entered was there, but with the old incorrect settings. The other addresses were no where to be found.

Each time I shutdown Thunderbird and either restart or turn on the computer, the old (acc#1) is still there but with the incorrect settings. Have tried to delete it but it keeps coming back.

Assistance with this would be appreciated...

Do occasionally run CCleaner on this computer... could that be causing any of these issues?

Dear Team,

There are two problems i found out in in newer version of thunderbird.

1) When we try to forward message, we never get space to write and it comes with different fonts and preformat, when we click it to Body text it comes with preformat automatically without our given command to Body text. Kindly fix it so we could use more comfortably.

2) When we get email sent by ourselves we click on edit as new see 2nd pick, when we click from 2nd account, signatures comes from new account, in previous version when we use CTRL Z, signature's were vanished, so we were more comfortable with that version, see pick 3 and now we delete manually which comes with extra space.

I previously commented on same but no response. Could you please able to solve this issue?

Als ik de mail open en er staat een mail geopend, kan ik niet de ingekomen mails openen. Pas als ik eerst een ander item ipv postvak in open, kan ik pas weer op postvak in e.e.a. bekijken. Hoe verhelp ik dat?

Incoming emails create a Notification popup. Not sure if this is TB 78.15.0 esr or Apple OSX, but I've done the things needed to stop both, AFAIK:

TB Prefs / chat / general / when msgs directed at you arrive... / unchecked it all

In OSX High Sierra 10.13.6 Prefs / notifications / TB 60.9.1 / unchecked all the stuff for TB Alert Style However, when I just went there to write the above, it was all back to being toggled ON.

I've added 1 Gmail account and 2 outlook accounts on thunderbird today. Thunderbird synced Google calendar and contacts, but it failed to do the same for the Outlook accounts. It did not detect outlook calendar and contacts. Kindly help me to fix the issue.

Is there a hidden interface flag/control to adjust if (or how quickly) the spring-loaded folders pop open? On the old MacBook Pro my wife uses they spring open immediately, pushing the mailbox she wants to drop the selected messages into up and down out of view and often the messages drop into some random folder and she has to go looking for where they wound up.

Why does Thunderbird INSIST on directing web links to Bing?

I have changed the Windows Default browser to FireFox.  I have restarted my machine and restarted Thunderbird multiple times.  When I go to Windowz settings it tells me that FireFox is my default browser.  Yet Thunderbird continues to direct links from an email to that CLINKING CLATTERING CONGLOMERATION OF COLLIGINOUS JUNK that is Bing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

When I sent an email, I use this addon "#tbkeys" to add the file name of the attachment in the body email. Is there a way to automatically add the name of the attachment, without using a shortcut ?

and this is the code for shortcut key...

1. tbkeys

{"ctrl+3": "(function () { var bucket = window.document.getElementById('attachmentBucket'); var names = []; for (var i = 0; i < bucket.getRowCount(); i++) names.push('• '+bucket.getItemAtIndex(i).getAttribute('name')); window.goDoCommandParams('cmd_smiley','This is Attachement name :

'+ names.join('
')); })();"}

Dear Mozilla, My email folder inbox says I have 1 new email, but I cannot find the email in the inbox window. Even when I filter for new messages I can't find it.

Also my new message count used to be blue. Now it is grey. But then goes back to blue when other emails come in.

Not sure if I accidentally blocked an email address or changed some settings. How can I fix this?

Thank you

As in subject I changed a control and do not understand the symbols on top plus need to get unread messages first and do not want sent messages in a tier that is to the same person. thanks

I have a large number of message filters which divert messages to folders on Subject. So messages I sent were diverted to those folders on sending. Mea Culpa

Emails I send to a X@yahoo.co.uk are not saved in my default sent folder. I have checked the setting in Account Settings. If I send to Y@other CC X@yahoo.co.uk , the message does get saved. I am using POP to send/receive emails.

This seems to have started in December 2023.

I am using Thunderbird 115.8.0 running in Debian Buster.

I would really appreciate a solution to this isssue. Thanks

Until recently my Thunderbird displayed a red count badge showing the number of unread messages. This badge has disappeared sometime during the last few days. I have been unable to fix it.

I have made sure the "Show Badge Icon" box is checked in the "App Icon Options" setting.

I am running Thunderbird 115.8.1 (32-bit). (PS: I am not sure why it is the 32-bit version).

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I just upgraded to MacOs Sonoma 14.3.1, and all of a sudden my "normal" Thunderbird notification sound became an obnoxious, loud sound that I can't stand. I went into Thunderbird sound settings and discover that the incoming mail "play the following sound file" box option is greyed out. It seems like Sonoma wants to do it's own thing... I've tried going into my Mac's system settings, and under "sound," I can choose various alert sounds, but none do anything to change the Thunderbird notification sound. I called AppleCare, and they don't seem to know anything about it yet. I guess more folks need to bring Sonoma notification issues to their attention asap... My question: Is there a way under Thunderbird's (v115.7.1) sound settings to "un-grey-out" this "play the following sound file" in order to overide what the new MacOs is doing? Thanks, Jack

Thunderbird, with the latest update, will decide on its own who moves some inbox item or two to the archive file without me doing anything. When I discovered the emails in the archive file I can move them back to the inbox without any problem but I would like to stop Thunderbird from sending anything to the archive unless I tell it to do so.

I would appreciate any insight I could get from anyone on what may be going on and how can I resolve the problem.

I have Thunderbird 115.7.0 and my Menu button does not work, I click on it and nothing happens. I'm using Windows 11 and this is just one problem I have since "upgrading" to 11. I can't find away to have Thunderbird to the inbox and I can't dd extensions(I think)without the Menu button. I should have stayed with Windows 10.

Hello, I have a problem with printing in Thunderbird. When i try to print out the email, it prints the header and header only. The actual body (data) of the email will not print. Its only on this one profile, same pc another thunderbird account and works perfectly fine. The account have over 40 thousand important emails so they need to stay. Troubleshooting mode does not help too, same thing. Sometimes when it's plain html it will print but doesn't print tables. It just prints header (sender, receiver, date, etc), black lines how should the table look like but without any data inside. Same thing into PDF as well.

I am a totally blind user and I really need the View > Sort By > From menu option in Thunderbird 115 to be changed from disabled to enabled. I am strictly a keyboard user and I can't find instructions to do this that don't involve using a mouse. Can someone please provide instructions on how to activate this sort option using only the keyboard? It is possible, once I have the keyboard focus on the right place, for me to emulate mouse clicks using the keyboard with my JAWS 2024 version screen reader. I've been banging my head on my desk in frustration over this for some time now. Changing this menu option did not make Thunderbird easier to use, especially for blind users. Changes like this have the opposite impact on accessibility. Otherwise, I love this program!
