As installed, TB would automatically choose a contrasting color for text when replying to an email with a dark or light background. But at some point I changed the text color for a given email. After that I am unable to restore the default behavior no matter what I do. I have gone through all the settings that pertain to text and background color and even after setting them all to the default it still doesn't work.

For example, now when I try to reply to an HTML email that has a white background, TB is defaulting to white text, which of course renders the text invisible. Using the compose toolbar I manually select black text and make it the default, but as soon as I type the first character, it switches itself back to white on white.

At the moment, the only way I can reply to an HTML email with a white background is to select the invisible text after the fact and change it to black. Not very practical.

Win X was installing the latest patches today (patchday)

Rebooted, started TB and didn't get into the inbox. TB asking for pwd and that's it. Tabs of Mailbox and Add-Ons Manager are showing the turning circle (don't know what's the name of this). I can see the subjects of the older messages in the preview, but can't highlight one of them. TB Menu is visible but not accessible. Can't open it.

Had the same issue when updating to 78.9.1. Fixed it by reinstalling 78.8.1, latest working release for me.

But now, reinstalling the old version doesn't help anymore. Not even 78.7.1

Thanks a lot for your quick help and your ideas!

When writing an email Thunderbird will not accept my email address (contactgs@radiolink.me.uk) in the 'FROM' box and I have to enter some mythical address such as 'abc@nowhere.org.uk' which it then accepts and sends the email.

Why will it not recognise my real address?

So I migrated Thunderbird to a new computer of a freind exactly as described in the articel [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-com...] and it seemed to work. Closed the program and went back to it and... Nothing anymore! TB opens, but is completly blank! Almost any Menu is visible, those who are, can not be clicked and so on...

So I checked Versions. They are the same on each computer! Tried the 32bit and the 64bit on the new one, still nothing... Each time I enter into the roaming data, delete the TB folder and repaste the "Original" one, it opens again one (1) time where everything works, but after that it goes blank again...

Sorry I could not find a similar post, so I dared to open a new one! Any help would gladly be apreciated! Thanks in advance from Luxembourg...

I have a recurring problem, for which I haven't found any solution online ... hoping someone here can provide advice.

When I read the body of an email in the view window on the right side of my screen, it often spontaneously gets replaced by a random event invitation. If I click on a different message, then click back on the message that had disappears, I get the message body again.... then 5-10 seconds later it reverts back to a random (sometimes different) event invite. There are days when it doesn't happen at all. Other days, it happens a few times during the day. In rare occasions it has happened *hundreds* of times in the same day, where I struggle to read even two lines in an email before the body gets replaced by a random invite.

I am thinking it might be happening whenever my calendar or email inbox refresh in the background, but I'm not sure. Even then, it's strange that this bug would happen at all.

Any ideas on how to fix / stop this?

For context, my Thunderbird version is 78.9.1, Build ID 20210406220621. The email address / calendar I am using is a Microsoft Exchange account, which I access using the Owl for Exchange paid extension.

Thanks!!

With the new Thunderbird version, the messages are sent to Antidote for correction by the anti-oops, but Thunderbird immediately sends the message without waiting for the correction to be returned by Antidote (the samed with 10 v4.1 v5.1 and v6.1). Any idea ?

I have two email addresses. Many years ago I had email address #2 routed to come in through my Earthlink account. In other words, all email from email 1 and email 2 came in to Thunderbird via one account, account #1.

As of the latest TB update, now emails from email 2 are coming in on email 2, and then sending them to email 1 - so the info from senders no longer are on the sender line.

Attached is a screen shot of what is happening ...

When I switch my AOL account to read from the Bulk Mail Folder, I get a notice that the server imap has disconnected. In order to proceed, I shut down Thunderbird and mail filtering, then open them both up again. Is there a better fix available?

Have Beta version 88, Windows 7 Had a problem with the new sending pipeline so went back to old sending pipeline. Now am receiving the following error message:

Sending of the message failed. Unable to open the temporary file: C:\Users\User\BER\AppData\Local\Temp\nsmail.tmp. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting.

The directory exists.

The email is not sent.

My wife is not on beta version and the same thing is happening to her.

Hello, I am using thunderbird with 3 pop3 accounts of a domain (let's call it test.com). Since 6 days ago , I can forward mails that I get from anything in my domain (test.com) with attachments, but when I try to forward from any other domain, the attachments don't add to the forwarded mail automatically and I need to forward them manually every time. This happens to all 3 pop3 accounts (they are all on the same domain) I am running the last thunderbird version on a windows 7 machine. The forwarding was working just fine for over 2 years and never had a problem with it on this computer. I didn't change anything in the settings. I have tried reinstalling thunderbird. Thank you in advance

Using Windows 10. After Thunderbird updated to 78.X it did not find my e-mail accounts (I was using 2) and it did not find my calender (lightning was working fine before). My address book is present. My profile folder is 10.7GB large, so I think the mails are there somewhere, but in no way can I make TB see them. I made a new profile and linked my profile folder to it: nothing happens. I copy-pasted it to a new profile folder: same thing. I did unhide the complete profile folder: no change... HELP!

My copy of Tbird creates multiple entries in all of the folders. The worst is sent mail where the first duplicate is a 2020/08 message and the oldest 2013/07 has 32 copies. Other folders aren't as bad but still have up to 6 copies of the oldest messages. Is there some way to re-index these tables? I'm concerned that one day it will just corrupt completely and I'll lose it all.

Setup: Today I was editing the comment in an existing task and was interrupted by a reminder. I chose the wrong choice (I discarded my changes)

After that mistake I started to CTRL+S my changes frequently.

The issue: This task has a custom Category

After I left the editing process I noticed the Category column entry for it in the CTRL+Shift+D task listing view had many copies of the custom Category I'd created for it.

I reopened the task to edit and de-selected the custom category, CTRL+S, and they all went away. I RE-selected the custom category, CTRL+S, and it reappeared one single time. I clicked [Save and Close] and the custom category now appears twice. Along the way I noticed it duplicates the custom category in the Tasks display for every time I CTRL+S while I'm editing the description.

I successfully eliminated the custom category > saved > closed task > reopened task > recreated custom label ... the duplication behavior continued.

I think this is enough information to recreate the behavior. If not, let me know - TIA

Windows 10 64 bit up to date Thunderbird 78.9.1 (32-bit)

i received the below Error message when I try to send an Email.

Is the error caused by with my Thunderbird Ver 78.9.1 or my Internet Service Provider. The Error appeared April 10th after I update to version 78.9.1. I'm using Win 10 with all update installed.

My email address may have been in the recently hacked Facebook data.

"An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: ob2-410.midco.net cmsmtp VkUYlKPKGv3eU 184.83.77.45 listed on Spamhaus XBL. Please see http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl for more information. ESMTP server not available"

Thanks

I receive letters in Attachment wav files about 10-15 mb. If I click the Save button (lower right corner of the screen), the file is created, but its size is 0. and this zero file is not deleted by the system - "busy with another application". I tried different mailboxes, different letters with different files. 70% of the time - I get 0mb on disk(

If I click twice on an attachment, a dialog box is displayed. I specify Save File - then 100% always downloads an attachment with a normal size. But this method is not very convenient.

Can this be corrected?
