I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I use dark mode (Windows 10 Pro, Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64-bit)). Fresh installation, fresh profile. When I reply to some emails, the reply text is not visible. The examples I saw were with a light (white?) background, but I'm not sure if it also happens with other backgrounds. But it's not all white backgrounds either, some emails with a light background I can reply to just fine.

The reply area can be dark with a dark grey font (slightly different color), or it can be white with a white font. In both cases, obviously the text I type is not readable.

Any idea how to fix this?

Where can I get the bug fix for email jumping in the preview window? I understand that the fix has been created and tested. I downloaded what I think is the daily build, but, When I attempt to install it, I am told that I require windows 10. This is getting very aggravating. What took an hour before the upgrade now takes at least three hours for reading my email.

Can't receive or send mails on my main address peter.lerche@mail.dk on my PC. Can receive but not send on my phone. Can receive and send on my spareaddress peter.lerche28@gmail.com on my PC.

When writing an email if I use the 'Insert>image' menu route the whole thunderbird app freezes (using win10, fully updated). However, if I manually copy and paste to insert an image via the clipboard, it seems to take OK. So have a workaround now, but worry the program route is failing. Am I missing a setting somewhere (I must say I have experienced glitches* since updating to the newest supernova version - 115 - and wishing I'd just stayed with the older previous version a while longer.

• Other glitch is the system is endlessly demanding passwords for my hotmail accounts when checking email (not so for the yahoo or gmail accounts). Very frustrating and time consuming.

Thanks for any advice Ken Dutton

Не отправляются письма ни из одного адреса через приложение Thunderbird. SMTP протоколы настроены правильно. Один из адресов использует стандартный протокол mail.ru, но письма тоже не отправляются. При этом входящая почта доставляется в нормальном режиме. Если зайти в почту через браузер, письма абсолютно нормально отправляются. Как решить данную проблему?

Hello,

we are a group of 9 people, organizing us with TAGs in Thunderbird (using same IMAP Mail). Before update to 115 version from 102 (I think) the tags were working flawlessly for more than 10 years. Now the syncing of tags somehow changed. For example if someone change the tag on received e-mail, on other computers the tag stays the same, until you click on that e-mail or until again a new e-mail arrives. That is very confusing because all the time you are not sure who's tag is selected or even more problematic that you untag someone who was already tagged. Before if someone tagged e-mail message, the tag was synced in next second, nevertheless at which e-mail were you standing. That was perfect!

I hope for implementation the option to manage tag-syncing time. Or can someone tell me if that's possible to manage that somewhere inside manual settings(Config editor)? I would also be pleased that somebody explain me how the tags synchronization actually works in latest TB?

Thank you all!

Open thunderbird up and want to print an email. Most of the time the printer is the default. Once I print and then go to the next email to print, the default printer is gone and the only option is save to PDF. I can close thunderbird and reopen it and seems to alleviate the issue for a few times then back save to PDF only. Strange issue. I have reinstalled thunderbird a few times. All other programs on the pc I print from always use the defaut printer.

I check 7 different email accounts. Now when I check them and click on an email the whole section will go to the top or the bottom, Then I need to scroll down or scroll up to get back to the new emails. And different email accounts do different things. I use Windows 11 - 64 bit. I've really liked Thunderbird over the years, have contributed so I hope these flaws gets fixed. It's just so problematic to use it now. I don't have the time to spend hours searching through threads to find if it's even fixable.

Hi, As of yesterday I am unable to send emails out. I keep getting this message below. I have gmail on same computer and that works fine. I am able to receive emails but can't send. Please help

I work with my tabs a lot. When I open an attachment, Thunderbird opens a new tab and buts the content of the attachment (pdf) into a new tab. Often I need to save my work and stop working that day, and just let my computer go into sleep mode with Thunderbird still open in windows. In the previous versions, I could just start working the next day, and all my tabs are populated with the attachments and information I left open the day before. With this new update 115.4.2 (32-bit) it does not retain any of the information in any of the tabs that were previously left open. It only happens when the computer has been sleeping overnight or for an extended period of time. If I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up pretty quickly it keeps the tabs just fine. Very frustrating

I have recently started using Thunderbird 115.4.3 on a new laptop running Windows 11. I transferred my profile from my old laptop and set up my two email accounts as POP accounts. The problem is that Tbird is regularly crashing, mostly (maybe only?) when I delete messages from my Inbox. When I restart the program, it works fine except that all or most of the messages in Trash are now duplicated multiple times. Any ideas how to stop this behavior?

Granted, I have massive boxes...but in my Sent folder, I checked a mail sent just this morning and wanted to right click it to 'edit as a new message'...however, when it opens, the content is related to a different email and the sendto email is also from a different email. Is there a way to clean up something like this? I shut down TB and waited and reopened and the issue stays the same.

The Not Responding stuff, plus this, has me looking for an alternative.

Hi, I've been having a lot of issues with the RSS feed handling on Thunderbird 115 on Fedora 39. It's been very unreliable with my collection of RSS feeds assembled in Thunderbird over the past ~15+ years. So I've been working on recreating my feeds account and after a few times it's been working more reliably with my 200+ RSS feeds. But I've noticed the behavior of the RSS feeds only updating every 100 minutes or so per the new default.

I did re-import my feeds after changing the account settings default of "Check for every new messages" to say every 10 minutes rather than every 100 minutes, but it didn't affect existing feeds or new feeds added after that point.

As a longtime Thunderbird fan it's been quite frustrating especially with long relying on the RSS feeds. Is there anyway to force-override how often all RSS feeds are updated? Or any guidance to where those individual settings are stored so I can find/replace the values all much more quickly than updating on a per-feed basis?

Thanks many, Michael

115.4.2 macOS 13.6.1 Using Menu>Edit>Find>Search Messages, it appears to be impossible to change the width of one result column without changing the width of all columns.

I want to widen the Date column so that I can see the full month name, the date, and the year. I click on the bar at the right of the Date field header and drag it to the right. All columns to the left are widened. The Date column barely widens. I click the side of the window and widen it. All columns widen (not a problem). Date widens a bit. I try to widen it using the bar at the right of the field. Same trouble. I widen the window to full width of the screen. Same trouble. The names of months with shorter names show in full, but not, for example, 'November'. Still can't see date on some; can't see year or time on any. I move the window to the left so all columns are off the screen except Date, Total, and Location. I widen Data. Correspondents appears on the screen (I guess that all columns are being widened). I widen the window all the way to the right of the screen. Now Recipient and Correspondents show, very wide, mostly blank (when there is only one name); there is a very wide column to the left, all blank, the column name invisible off the screen to the left. I can now see most Data data, but, for example, 'November 11, 2023, at 10:2'. I push the window further to the left off the screen. I now see Correspondents (mostly blank to the right of a single name (the one I searched for), Date, Total, and Location; I see the date and time in full. I can't see any column to the left of Correspondents; in particular, can't see Subject. I move the window all the way to the right edge of the screen again. Now I can see the "blank column," Recipient, and Correspondents (mostly blank space), Date with all dates and times showing in full, Total always blank), and Location (short mailbox names, so all show in full.

Why was this design chosen by the project? What was wrong with the ability to change the width of any column without affecting the others? Why was the decision made to not have a scroll bar on the bottom?

Thanks in advance for responses from the team.

Cordially, Joaquin

There is not scroll bar at the bottom, so I can move the data in the window back and forth.
