Hi, I'm using Firefox 115.11.0esr (64-bit) on a Mac Mini M2 Pro running Sonoma 14.5. When I forward an email message with Firefox, multiple lines of HTLM text are prepended to the forwarded message. I've attached a screenshoot showing the first 2 lines of this prepended text.

How can I configure Firefox so that his HTML text is not included in forwarded messages?

I have been using Firefox on Mac for a number of years. This behavior started when I upgraded to the Mac Mini M2 Pro and this version of Firefox.

Thanks for your help.

I'm using a VPN on my computer and phone and when I try to connect to the mail server, Thunderbird gives me an error saying that the mail server has disconnected. But when I disconnect from the VPN, everything works. This happens only with one mail server, on the others everything works OK even via VPN.

However, the the mail from this server is coming to my phone (where I use K-9 Mail).

I also tried to connect to the mail server via openssl, with the command "openssl s_client -connect mail.server.net:993 -crlf"

The connection is successful (when I'm on the VPN), but when I enter the command "a LOGIN my.username MYPASSWORD", it gives an error:

a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=20)

I have set the "Maximum Number of server connections to cache" to 1 in Thunderbird, I have set to check for mail every 12 minutes (it already was 15 minutes on the phone before), and it is still the same.

Any idea how to solve the issue? I am connecting to this server with the same username and from the same (VPN) IP only from my phone and my computer, so I find it really strange that there are more than 20 simultaneous connections...

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with my Thunderbird app (version 115.11.1) on macOS. I'm trying to add my Google accounts, but after I attempt to connect them, I receive the following warning message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I've checked the configuration multiple times to ensure it's correct. Here are the settings I'm using for Gmail:

Incoming Server (IMAP): Server Name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

Outgoing Server (SMTP): Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

I've also emptied all saved passwords and allowed cookies from sites without any exceptions. Is the version of Thunderbird I have still incompatible with Gmail? Or is there another issue that I might be missing?

Thanks for your help!

I am using Thunderbird in Windows 11 on an Intel NUC 12 computer. I am using Thunderbird in pop mail for gmail.com and mail.com. I save all important messages daily to Folders in Local Folders. Today I attempted to look for messages in one folder named Family and Friends and found that messages older than 2/14/2024 are missing. I checked other folders and found that they seem OK with messages going back 5 to 10 Years. I tried running repair but nothing changed. Any idea where these files can be? I do have backups of the app data for Thunderbird and am considering to try a prior version but I'm afraid I might lose new saved messages. If I tried to Archive messages, could this be the problem? I have looked in Archive and found very little. Any help would be appreciated. Frank

Please ignore this question. I found my older messages.

I've got it set to not intercept anyone in my address book and this address is definitely inmy address book.

I was in the middle of generating a long "reply all" to a message and wanted to jump to a new page when it would be printed. I absent-mindedly hit Ctl-Shift-Enter and the entire window disappeared and there was nothing in Drafts! Ctl-V just restores the last thing I added to this very long reply! I had been working on this for 90 minutes, doesn't Thunderbird continually update Drafts while working on a long email?

Hi Windows 10 64bits - Thunderbird 115.11.1 (but same happens with Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon). It is the 1st time I ask in this forum, so I hope I respect the rules... "Sometimes", in my e-mail "imapmail" sub-folders, "some" files with an added "-1" appear ("draft-1", "sent-1" , ...). They are always newer (modification date) than the file without the "-1". What are they ? Why create a "-1" that consumes space, and not over-write the existing files ? Is there a parameter somewhere in TB to avoid this behaviour (I closed TB, deleted them, but they "sometimes" reappear when I reopen TB ) ? Thanks in advance

installed Ubuntu 2404 on my acer laptop along with Thunderbird, added gmail email to Thunderbird and it fails to connect to google for their security check.

popup when trying to login to google to let Thunderbird access gmail.

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I think the linux Thunderbird is broken.

I have been through this google process with Thunderbird 3 times windows 10 and 11 and once on an android phone with no problems

Norton 360 updated last night and now Thunderbird isn't working.

I tried logging in to Thunderbird but it kept saying my certificate was wrong and refusing to check my emails. I tried to click "add exception" but it didn't help.

It also kept saying its own homepage was a security risk and blocking it.

I figured it was Nortons new update, but have no idea how to fix it. I turned off Nortons Email Protection, which didn't help. So I uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled it.

But now its saying it cannot login to the outlook server when I try to add an email account. I know the information is correct, all I can guess is that Norton is blocking it somehow?

Any idea on how I can fix this?

Good morning Windows 10, TB 115.11.0 32 bit. Multiple email accounts, some gmail, others like sfr, lol and free. All accounts use POP. All working before weekend, shut down the PC. Monday morning, opened Windows, all seems there except TB which has a screen with an Account Setup tab inviting me to set up an existing email address. Close that tab and the attached screen image appears, open tabs blank, no accounts pane on the left, no emails, no local folders. Nuffin. Restart TB and Windows, twice, still Nuffin. Look in Profiles, yes, under Mail all profiles appear to be present and the correct size. Going to gmail’s on line email system shews account open and receiving email normally. I had a problem a month ago after a TB update when all accounts were present but no emails were displayed. I changed the password to 0auth and recovered my emails. That took three days to resolve and I lost a business client through the delay in responding. Today I must file several court documents or I shall be in deep poo. Any suggestions how to recover the left hand accounts pane and see the accounts and folders will earn my undying gratitude.

My Thunderbird Inbox is set up to order the emails so the oldest emails are at the top of the list, and the part of the list that is showing in the window on the screen is the bottom of the list, therefore the most recent emails. However, when I open Thunderbird to look at the emails in the Inbox, while the list is in the order as just specified (oldest at the top, newest at the bottom), what I see on the screen is the section of the list of the emails that arrived about 6 weeks ago. To see the most recent emails I have to move the list up the window. It has been doing this for about 2 months.

Any idea why it is doing this, and how to 'fix' it, please?

Thankyou

My unreliable memory tells me I asked this community a question about Thunderbird. I haven't received anything that might suggest someone has replied, and I cannot remember the title I gave that post, so how do I search for it?

Just in case, my 'missing' question was (or should have been) why when I open Thunderbird does it open showing the emails that I received maybe a month ago, not the most recent ones. The most recent ones are there on the list, but I have to scroll down to get to them, which is a nuisance as I have to do it every time I go into Thunderbird

My thanks to you
