Hi

 I am using version 115.14.0 (64-bit) and I am using Fedora 39, up to date OS.  I have been using ThunderBird for a very long time.  I have been experiencing an issue which, unfortunately, seems to come and go.  I am experiencing this issue on 2 separate physical computers.  How can I restore the list of emails under any account when they are not visible?
 This is very troubling ...

my second laptop has stopped recognising my thunderbird password - i've reset the password on main comp, taken it off put it back on - uninstalled and reinstalled thunderbird - nothing works

I am trying to get TB (102.10.1) to use my system colors for

1. navigation-toolbox-background {background: AccentColor !important;}

I've used AccentColor in Firefox for...

1. TabsToolbar, #navigator-toolbox, #tabs-newtab-button, #titlebar toolbarbutton:not(:hover):not(:active), #scrollbutton-up:not(:hover):not(:active), #scrollbutton-down:not(:hover):not(:active), .titlebar-color {

   background: AccentColor !important;
   color: AccentColorText;
   fill: AccentColorText !important;

}

...but I'm doing something wrong in TB. Please let me know the proper usage for TB. Thank you for taking a look at this.

For the last couple weeks I have been unable to rename, delete, add to, or edit my email storage folders under any of my email pop accounts. I have not made any changes to the set up during this time. Only TB upgrades.

I CAN move email messages into and out of the folders. No problem there. I can also receive and send emails with no problem.

I have 128.2esr(64-bit) running on the latest Windows. This problem occurs on both my laptop and desktop.

I installed Thunderbird and typed in my Office 365 email information to connect my account. Thunderbird found the correct IMAP settings, which I verified on Microsoft's website. It proceeds to open a browser so I can authenticate my account. After that succeeds it starts downloading all of my messages & folders. I thought everything went fine until I attempted to send a message. I get the following error:

Login to server smtp.office365.com with username me@mydomain.com has failed.

It gives me the option to enter a new password, which doesn't make sense since it's oAuth2 but I created an app password to see if that would work, and it didn't. The only other options are cancel & retry which don't help either.

I thought maybe something went wrong with the authentication process so I uninstalled thunderbird and started again with the same results. I've tried many other server settings, but nothing works, so I'm here.

Current Settings:

Server Name: smtp.office365.com User Name: me@mydomain.com Authentication Method: oAuth2 Security: STARTTLS Port: 587

I've tried: Using Port 465 / SSL/TLS Using Port 465 / STARTLS Using Port 587 / SSL/TLS Changing Auth method to Normal Password and then using app-specific password. Uninstall / Resintsall

One final thing to note: I followed the same process with my fastmail.com account, which worked flawlessly. I can send & receive fine.

I already tried putting Thunderbird as a shortcut into the C:\Users\<myAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo (aka. shell:SendTo) folder. But when I use the "Sent to" menu and select Thunderbird, the file to be attached just gets openned by Windows as if I had double-clicked on it. Thunderbird does not even open a new message.

I also tried changing the call of the Thunderbird shortcut in the SendTo folder to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment= At least, then Thunderbird opens a new message. But it just writes the path\filename of the file to attach into the attachment section. When I then try to send the message, Thunderbird says it cannot access it under this path.

How are you doing this? Thanks!

After the latest update of thunderbird, I can no longer delte multiple messages at once. I can only delete messages one at a time. Also, when I'm in a message and delete it, it goes away briefly, then comes back again before its actually gone.

A recent Windows update on my Dell laptop resulted in an unusable copy of Windows(thanks Microsoft). After much time and effort, Microsoft's only solution was to do a fresh install of Windows which we did. Of course all software and apps had to be reinstalled. I have used Thunderbird on this laptop for years successfully. I downloaded the most current verision of Thunderbird and installed it. I then attempted to add my email account. I entered my name, email account name, and password. Message came back, "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database." Configuration shows Incoming: IMAP, SSL/TLS. Outgoing: SMTP, SSL/TLS. I then clicked on the "Done" box. Next an Xfinity window opens with my username. The next box says "Let's go". I clicked that box. A window pops open that says, "ACCESS DENIED, You don't have access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. I googled that line and found many responses. I tried many of the solutions shown to no avail. I then contacted Comcast/Xfinity. After hours on the phone and finally reaching Comcast Assurance Level 2, the agent and I tried various things and still to no avail. So, here I am. Anyone there have any ideas on how to proceed. Thanks to anyone who tries.

Hello, I have experienced an error when I click on the inbox of my domain email address. My email *******@meditationwithjason.com sends and receives mail though Thunderbird with no issues yet I get an error when clicking on the inbox. I attached a screenshot of the notification. Hopefully it's just a small issue I can fix on my own. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jason

In the past you could only get notifications for the Inbox, which was nice when you'd use folders and server-side filtering to keep most emails out of your inbox. Please restore this option.

Since recently, TB has started showing subfolders twice:

   1. Normally under the main folder
   2. As grey and italic folders under Inbox in the format Mainfolder_subfolder.

Those grey folders do not have a subscribe/unsubscribe checkbox so I cannot unsubscribe from them. Does anyone have this problem and know how to hide those grey folders?

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Thunderbird 115.15.0 (64-bit)

I get a message that I am unable to sent an email.

because

Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username mariegtirone@gmail.com failed.

All was fine with gmail with 128.2.2 for me until this morning. I updated to 128.2.3 and login to gmail imap fails. Backed off to 128.2.2, everything works. Something is wrong with 128.2.3.

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

Starting in the last month or so, when I login to my email account using Thunderbird I get a Filesystem notification initialization error asking me to check for configuration errors in the FAM/Gamin library. (Side note the error only stays as long as my mouse is hovering over it then it vanishes so I can't get a screenshot or copy and paste the text.) I am still able to send messages, receive new messages, and access saved messages in my local folders, so I am not sure what this error means.

I just got off the phone with my email service provider who confirmed that they are not seeing any issues on the server end, so It appears to be something on the Thunderbird client side. I tried clearing the startup cache and that did not resolve the issue.

Using version 115.15.0 (64-bit) on PureOS which is a variant of Debian. PureOS is designed for extra security so there is a delay between the release of new versions and the time that purism.com releases the update to PureOS. It may be I just have to wait for Purism to release version 128...

Thanks for any suggestions.

PDF attachments to emails are sometimes corrupt. They are not displayed when the email is opened (only a blue line is shown); after they are saved they cannot be opened (Adobe and also EDGE give a message that the file is damaged). The same attachments can be opened and saved correctly using the free Outlook application from Windows. I noticed the problem this month. The installed version of Thunderbird is Thunderbird 128.2.2 esr - but the problem also existed with version 128.2.1.
