Hi Thunderbird Support: The Sender filter button doesn't work when using the Quick Filter feature. It won't find the sender. Sometimes the sender can be found using the Body button filter. It shouldn't work this way.

Thank You for the opportunity to offer feedback.

I have no Junk folder and am trying to determine why a particular email is not getting through. I have added the email address of this sender to my address book. The sender is a website that is sending me a filled out form. These are not coming through. They are being received by others who should also be receiving it. I have no Junk folder and just manually added one under my inbox. I've set the junk mail settings to allow messages from all of my address books - 2. Help!

Hello,

Today I added a new mail account and used it to write a test mail containing German umlauts. The result is this:

Subject: Das ist ein Testmail Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi,

ich sende dir eine Testmail!

Liebe Grüße

In other accounts that are also configured in Thunderbird but run on other servers, the result looks different. Namely:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Das ist ein Test.

Alles Liebe! =C3=A4=C3=B6=C3=BC =C3=84=C3=96=C3=9C=C3=9F=C3=9F=C3=9F

The latter is correct and right. Why does Thunderbird behave differently for the newly created account?

Kind regards

If an invalid email address for To:, Thunderbird rejects the email BUT retains the invalid address and uses it as an autofill alternative forever. This is but one of many instances when an invalid address can be presented as an autofill choice.

Where are these addresses stored?

Is there any way to access a listing of autofill addresses and edit them to delete the invalid entries?

For two weeks now Thunderbird has been acting screwy. I have posted a request already regarding those issues but haven't received a reply. (multiple postings of emails/deleted messages reappearing in inbox after being 'deleted', disappeared Notifications options in Settings, duplication of sub-folders which reappear when deleted,and so forth). The entire program appears to be corrupted. SO- now I've been attempting to download a fresh version to make make it right again but get an error message I can't open the download replacement/update/ (c first image) (c-images)

Please help. I have urgent need to send files.

Thank you for your prompt assistance. Rob

I'm having terrible problems with Thunderbird on my PC today and wonder if anyone can help ???

I looked at some spam killer software yesterday and installed Mailwasher and later Annihilator to test them. Being unsatisfied, I uninstalled both.

But when I logged onto Thunderbird this morning, the basic accounts appeared but no past emails anywhere. So I tried to receive new email and send email and all my server settings are correct but Thunderbird will NOT accept any of my historic passwords. Tried everything many, many times but it keeps rejecting my normal historic passwords there.

I can send email from my Thunderbird PC but not receive emails or see my history there. My Local Folders work properly.

Wonder if Mailwasher or Spamihilator changed my Thunderbird passwords, even though I uninstalled both. No idea what they might be.

My Android email still works perfectly.

Can you help -- help -- or have any ideas ???

Hello,

My colleague is trying to configure her settings to auto-delete messages. When she clicks on "delete message more than - days old" the setting is preset to 30 days, and she receives a pop up asking if she's sure she wants to auto-delete the messages. She wants to change the number of days to 365, but she isn't able to until she selects OK on the pop-up. If she selects okay, will it start deleting messages more than 30 days old since that's what it's set to when clicks OK? Is there a way to disable the pop-up until she changes the number of days?

For the past week or so, I've been getting the following message every time I open Thunderbird.

"The folder 'Outbox on Local Folders' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

Also, the folders appear to be empty, but the eventually repopulate. I have plenty of disk space and haven't changed write privileges. A Google search doesn't turn up any solutions. Can anyone help?

I asked this question on the Thunderbird Android stream but thought I might copy it here as well.

I recently switched from the Samsung email to the Thunderbird on my phone and I love the app. However, I would like to figure out how I can delete an email on my phone without it deleting it on my desktop version of Thunderbird (IMAP) or on the server that is offsite. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere but I can't find it.

Thank you.

I have used Thunderbird for years and I have previously donated. But in all these years there's one thing I never understood:|

Why all the wasted vertical space?

It makes it difficult to use on a laptop when a third of the screen is used for basically nothing.

Advantages: All of the items in the options drop down could be buttons. (One click instead of click-drag-release click) You could easily make that area only one or two lines vertically by putting the Subject and List ID on the same row. And the yellow line about" blocking remote content": That could also just be a button instead of taking up 2 horizontal rows.

On my laptop it looks like this. (See image)

Thanks for listening! -mike

Online search indicates that one should have the ability to change the color of individual panes by menu->settings->colors. However, there is no selection on the popup menu for individual elements and the only pane that is changed is the reading pane. Is the ability to select individual panes and OBE feature? I tried userChrome.css but that had no effect. ( config element ...stylesheet was set to true).

Nov 2024 - How Do I disable Threads in the Email folders?

Thanks

(Probably I'm using the wrong wording- sorry)

I have in my home computer one account, let's call it home@mydomain .

And at work I have account work@mydomain.

But, sometimes I want to send from home that will look as it was sent from work@mydomain.

Is there a way to create one more account that will not be linked to any pop3/smtp server and will be used only to send emails?

Other ideas?

I received a PGP-encrypted e-mail which is just showing the encrypted text in mail preview and also in a separate mail window; it is not getting auto-decrypted, even though the correct key is present in the OpenPGP key management. I have this same behavior on two different setups on Linux Mint 21.1 Vera. Once I reply to the e-mail, the original message gets decrypted in the reply message, but not in the original.

I've got another setup on MacOS, same Thunderbird version, which also does not auto-decrypt the message, but in message preview provides a button "Decrypt" which does the job. But this button is missing in the Linux configs.

All setups have the correct PGP Key configured.

Any hint to resolve the issue is highly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

This has probably been asked many times but I haven't seen it. I have a home network with three computers on it, each located in different parts of my house. I'm running Thunderbird on one of them and I'm very happy with it. But for convenience, I'd like to be able to run it on all three computers so my email is easily available no matter which machine I'm on. Is this possible, and if it is, is it just a matter of downloading the software on each machine and duplicating the settings? Are there any glitches I should be aware of?

Many thanks...
