Forum communautaire Thunderbird

Hi, I am new to actively using Thunderbird. It's been my backup in case Outlook fails (which it does with some regularity). I've been using Outlook for many years and have finally given up with all its problems (crashes, loss of data, and lastly, loss of my entire .pst file!). I may be doing something wrong in Thunderbird, but here is what is happening: 1. It prints incoming emails as pages of what looks like code and no message details. 2. It prints outgoing emails OK, but the header contains a lot of useless code. 3. I like to be able to use other fonts for things like signature etc., but can't find how to do that. So, what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? Any advice will be very much appreciated.

I've been using Thunderbird v102 for quite a while until Supernova was stabilized. I finally upgraded and Thunderbird was updated to v128. I was able to configure it to what it looked like in v102. However, when I compose an email and try to drag and drop a file (e.g. a ".pdf" file) onto the compose pane of the new email window it doesn't work. I've tried a variety of things, including saving my old profile, creating a new profile, then trying to write a new message, and finally trying to drag and drop a file for an attachment. This no longer works. I can, however, click on the "Attach" icon at the top of the write window and within a few clicks, and some searching, and a few more clicks, can attach a file.

What happened? And is this fixable? Why does all new software make it more difficult to do simple tasks that have worked for years, thinking it makes life easier by making it more difficult? Sigh...

Thunderbird Quick Filter Toolbar has suddenly started splashing a couple popups when I start typing in the filter box. These popups effectively say "... click to..." but don't actually let me click; they just block the screen.

I am running an HP desktop under Linux Mint, and my installation of TB works flawlessly. My wife's install on a Lenovo ThinkPad T530, again running Mint, periodically, and at random intervals, suddenly stops working to replies to incoming emails. The incoming mail always works perfectly, but if one hits Reply to a message, a screen opens, with the message being replied to, properly displayed, but the Subject field frozen, and the text window to enter the reply equally frozen. When in this condition, attempts to send a new message to the sender, by going through the Address Book, choosing the recipient by name and then Write, has exactly the same issue - frozen input fields. The only resolution is to reboot the computer, when it all works normally until the next random freeze. (Closing TB and reopening it does not fix it.) Mint takes charge of updates of TB, and we have kept all updates up to date, as well as Mint itself, so I do not think this is an update issue. (We currently have TB 115.16.0esr) The problem happens only on the older Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, not on my HP desktop. Anything further I can add to document the situation? Any ideas, (other than "Reboot whenever it happens", (anywhere from a day or two, to weeks))?

I have other staff members who use the same thunderbird email as myself and have recently started to use the task feature. The task feature is very useful for me but I want to be able to send the other task to other people or have them sync like the email do.

Is there any extension I can add or does is there a built in feature with thunderbird that can all me sync or send task to each other.

I have started getting these error messages after successfully talking this email address previously. Not sure what is happening??

No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message remains undelivered. Eventually the mail delivery software will give up, and when that happens, the message will be returned to you.

im getting a smtp message . I have no idea what that is . i not a computer tech im trying to reply to an email from my wife thunderbird wont send the message never happened before. using tbird for past 10 years

Trying to install TB from download. I get the following error message: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server.

But, when I login to xfinity through my browser, I can access the mail just fine. What should I do? Thanks for your help. Jerry

After closing the In Box, you'd think there'd be some simple obvious way to open it again. But no. The switch is hidden. Your Help agrees that the switch is nowhere to be found in the Menu Bar (as it obviously ought to be), but that it can be found in the Tool Bar.

The Tool Bar is not found in the Menu Bar either (as it obviously ought to be). Short of relaunching the program, what am I to do?

Did the designer of the interface have an addiction to video games? In video games everything is hidden, as though it were FUN to poke around looking. I have never played a video game. They are not fun. They are a waste of time. All commonly used email tools and windows should be accessible under the Menu Bar. Please fix your program. Meanwhile, please tell me how to open the In Box after closing it. Thank you.

Thunderbird 15.5.1 Mac OS

I set some filter to local copy different email to local folder an delete them from Gmail to reduce the amount of email in Gmail. Normallly while working I let Thunderbird in background downloading the email and then I read the email locally.

Today I noticed that the downloaded email that I havent previously opened on Gmail are blank, even the source is blank.

Is it possible to solve this, because I already deleted all the downloaded email from Gmail. It's another filter.

Hi, Before this latest udate i have 128.4.0esr (64-bit) all my local folders showed the number of unread messages in them. Now some do and some dont. I am not a computer wizard so simple step by step directions/suggestions to resolve this issue would be appreciated Thank you Stephen

Very strange. I have a solar company that I am dealing with, and recently some of the emails do not come through to TB I know that they are sending correctly because when I check on my providers web interface they are there. I have deleted all of the Filter just to make sure, and they are not in the Junk or SPAM folders. Some do come through but others do not. Any ideas? This just started in the past few days, before that they all came through

Hello,

I recently reinstalled Thunderbird and lost some of my message filters. I recreated the filters that move a message to a folder in another email account.

The move filter does move the message but it remains in the original email account. When I filter the original email account for "All Mail" the message can be seen as unread.

From what I recall this was not an issue before.

Thank you in advance for the help.

I just upgraded from 115-something (sorry I don't remember) to 128.4.0esr.

Before I upgraded this morning, I could start typing a name or e-mail address, and it would fill the rest. This worked whether I was writing an original message or adding one to a reply.

After I upgraded this morning, it stopped doing that and I can in no way get it to do so. How do I fix this?

If the answer is I don't, how do I go back to 115? This makes using TB absolutely too difficult for me. E-mail is my primary means of communication.

I am running macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) on a MacBook Pro, mid-2012. (Don't tell me to upgrade my hardware unless you are volunteering to pay for it!)

Thank you!

I have used Thunderbird as my preferred mail client for many years. Recent upgrade to Kubuntu 24.04 from 22.04.4 seems to have changed storage options. Thunderbird 128.1.0esr(64bit)

I store my mail on my local server so that I can access it from a number of different computers on the same network. If I set the Local Directory to that network folder it is changed to /run/user/1000/doc/5f5f8977/mail.xxxxxx.com and the mail is imported to my local disk in that folder.

However, when I restart the computer I have to set up the network folder again each time.

I have never had this problem before. How do I set the Local Directory permanently to the network server address? Thanks Bob
