From the moment i changed my mobile phone end august, which I used as internet connection for my 2 computers, connected by a usb cable to each computer, connection by cable is now on refused, so i had to install wifi connection which works. BUT => from my address michel.balawender@wanadoo.fr, host orange, thunderbird ask repetitively password, and refuses any sending. Once I had somebody to check : a new installation of thunderbird did work ... for 2 days. Then somebody did change my password at orange contract, (which caused hours for getting back again all messages); it worked for one day ... I have no problem with other mailing adresses for instance gmail. There after, my help message in french without any help from ubuntu forum. Thank you for your benevolence. Michel Balawender

Problème récurrent sur mes 2 pc "Échec de la connexion depuis le serveur smtp.orange avec le nom d'utilisateur "adresse mail". Saisir un nouveau mot de passe => annuler => réessayer"

Je reçois des mails, mais impossible d'en envoyer à partir de thunderbird. Un informaticien m'avait supprimé l'adresse mail chez orange, puis l'a re créée avec un nouveau mdp, sur chacun de mes pc.

Eh bien patatras, ça recommence sur le pc fixe d'abord (version thunderbird 102.11.0) puis le pc portable (version 115.16.0) est contaminé. Je suis passé entretemps de la 16.04 à la 18.04.6 sur le fixe, et suis sur la 20.04 sur le portable : je n'ai pas le sentiment que la version d'ubuntu soit concernée par le pb.

Il faut donc que je règle le pb créé par thunderbird. En attendant, je passe par l'application mail orange, ce qui est bien fastidieux.

J'ai fouillé sur le forum, sans trouver de piste. Merci pour votre bienveillance.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've been archiving my e-mail on my Synology NAS for a number of years now. However, my W10 desktop computer died last year and I've had to reinstall Thunderbird on a new W11 PC. I want to get access to all the archived e-mails on my NAS, that is, as they used to appear in Thunderbird under local folders year-by-year. I also want to be able to archive more recent e-mails to the same location. That is, I want to re-establish the same archiving process I had previously, complete with access to the old archives. I've tried to set up the same file path to the NAS under Local Folders in Thunderbird (as far as I can remember - I might not have it correct) but the old archives don't appear. in an attempt to identify the correct file path on the NAS, I've tried to archive a recent message as a test so I can see where it is stored - in Thunderbird the year folder appears under the NAS location under local folders as expected and I can see the message in the message window so it seems to be working but I can't see any new folders or files on the NAS - nothing modified or created with today's date. I'd be grateful for any assistance. Thanks, Kevin

Hi,

I have many mTLS website and few Client Cert.

Under "View Certificate” >> "authentication decisions" many entries have "Send no client certificate" but with no website. I suspect that this is a display bug and messed with a decision I remove earlier. I try to delete these "empty" decision but they stay.

What is the underlying DB/data file firefox uses in the profile so I can check maybe directly there. Maybe "cert9.db" ? or ClientAuthRememberList.txt or ClientAuthRememberList.bin?

maybe similar to this? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1718844

Thanks

Hi,

I put some messages into folders yesterday and then created another folder and dragged the first folder into it to become a subfolder.

When I did this, I saw the new folder but it couldn’t be expanded to show the subfolders.

All other mail clients showed the correct hierarchy except Thunderbird.

Why is this happening?

Secondly, I post comments on the thunderbird blog regularly but they never show up. Where are they disappearing to? Are you receiving them?

Dear filter specialists,

On a Windows 10 computer with TB Portable 128.6 and .7, folders can no longer be selected in the filters as ‘Run filter on’ or ‘perform these Actions’: the menu is greyed out. The phenomenon occurs with all accounts: POP and local. Various email providers, ESET virus scanner, Windows firewall, FritzBox cable router. The local account contains almost 30 GB of emails. The existing filters work as long as they do not affect the accounts or folders: for example, tagging e-mails works. Existing filters with folder-actions cannot be re-configured and no folder actions are possible when creating a new filter.

I have performed an update check and restarted Windows, changed the compression limit from 500 to 5 MB and changed a few minor settings so that the config is rewritten.

What could this be? How do I solve the problem? A workaround if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hello there. On my previous email desktop app I was able to use my 'magic mouse' swipe features to quickly delete emails irrespective of even reading them first.

I have looked for this in the Thunderbird settings but I can't seem to find this option. Is it me? Or do you not have this?

Kind Regards,

James

I run Thunderbird 115.18.0 (64-bit) with calendar and tasks connected to a NextBase Caldav account on the web. The Caldav then syncs with my Android phone using DAVx.

When I try to add a new task but without adding start and end dates it will initially appear to save and show in the tasks list. However this is lost following a Thunderbird restart. NB the task view is set to "All"

If I either edit the task to add start and end dates the task disappears from the task list. Similarly if I create a task with start and end dates the task does not save.

This issue only seems to have started recently as I have been using this process for a while without issues.

Is there a way to fix this?

I were not sure, where this could belong, therefore I chose "Settings".

I recently switched from K9 Mail to Thunderbird Mobile and were very happy to see, that there has been a migration option to transfer all the account settings from desktop to mobile version.

Well, not all accounts and not all settings were transferred and only the first QR code has been recognized whereas the other three were unrecognizable - but still a good move!

That brought me to the idea: Wouldn't it be nice, if there were some Thunderbird Sync, where all accounts, the server settings, the identities (!!), the signatures (!) and other settings (fonts, quoting etc) would be the same on all devices?

And where would be the place to promote such an idea?
