I have Version 128.5.2esr (64-bit), it says it is up to date.

So I've been noticing a couple of days now that I can no longer view messages in the message pane to the right of the screen. When I click on an email in the list on the left, the top of the pane on the right shows me the To, From, subject etc, as well as a yellow bar saying "Warning: To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message." Then, nothing underneath this. Where it used to show the email contents. I do NOT want to have to double click every single email in my inbox to look at them in a separate tab. Most of what I get is not useful. I want to be able to click once and preview the email, then click Down to check the next one, and on and on the same as Thunderbird did it LAST WEEK.

Can someone help me get it back to working please? Thanks!

Something has changed in the way Thunderbird is handling Replies. Replies used to be added to the original email with an arrow indicating that the email had been responded to. Now the reply is added to the mail list as a separate email grossly clogging up the list of emails. Sometimes the "replay arrow" is displayed and sometimes not. I do not want the reply shown as a separate email. Is there some setting that will accomplish this? I have been unable to find anything that looks like it would work.

PS The Bold and Italic for this email did not work.

Just wondering if there was a way to change the behavior of Thunderbird. Currently, if I add a subfolder to an IMAP mail account, that folder will show up in the Unified Inbox. Yes, I know how to remove it from there but I'm getting tired of doing that each time I add a folder as I need to do it to multiple devices.

Thanks.

Some emails I receive, when I reply to them, don't correctly display the email (body text) correctly. It looks like Thunderbird is choosing the wrong font colour for the reply email text and I'm after any info on why this happens and how to fix it.

Attached are two screen shots. "original.jpg" shows the original email and "reply.jpg" is my reply email. It doesn't always happen and it *may* be emails sent out by Zendesk.

I'm on latest TBird 128.6.0esr but it's been happening for the last few releases.

When I opened Thunderbird to get and read my new email I received this error message after I could see that Thunderbird had found new messages.

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I checked the hard drive space on all of my hard drives and I have GBytes of space and in PREFERENCES for the hard drive, WRITE is allowed. In fact all items listed in Preferences is set to allow.

I've rebooted the computer and even had Windows check my hard drive for errors and it found no problems. What do I now need to do? Thank you. Fred Berney

Hi everyone.

Since I constantly switch between multiple computers, some of them Windows, some Ubuntu, some dual boot, I have installed portable clients for both platforms onto an USB stick. These are set up to use the same profile folder. Generally, this works fine.

However, I have one issue with my POP3 accounts, which are set up to keep messages on the server for 7 days. After I have fetched a message with the Linux client, checking for messages with the Windows client will fetch the message again, resulting in duplicates.

I checked the data being written to popstate.dat and checked the knowledge base to find out the issue. I found out that the "Flag" (always "k") and "UIDL" sections are written identically by the two clients, but the "Timestamp" section is different, which causes the issue. According to the knowledge base, "The message's time stamp in the file corresponds to the date and time in the From - line at the top of the message source." Needless to say that the message sources of the duplicates are identical, so this doesn't add up.

So here are my questions: 1. Why is a timestamp written to popstate.dat in the first place? Shouldn't the UIDL be enough to uniquely identify a message? 2. Why is the timestamp calculated differently from the same source data on Linux and Windows clients?

Thanks, Ansgar

This appears EVERYWHERE: emails unreadable (blurred). BUT if I select (left-button + mouse movement), a whole section (NOT the whole message) becomes crystal-clear. I have saved many such incidents, but one is below:

This problem started after the latest Firefox update was installed. I have looked in Thunderbird Solutions but with the only one that comes close to my problem the person was able to switch to a different profile. I don't have another profile that I can do that with. In another one the problem was solved with a bug fix in a newer version. I already have the newest version. ??? Please help.

recently i am having problems with sending emails from my desktop, via thunderbird. it keeps asking me to sign in with my new password. however i have not changed my password with virgin. i can send an email from my phone, so i know its not virgin. i have spent 3hours reading up and checked the server and outgoing settings, and changed switched adjusted what i could see, and set them back to the original settings, which in effect meant i have done nothing, and all of a sudden it works again. this did happen a couple of week ago, so not sure what's going on, and i really haven't got a clue what im doing, so any help or advice would be appreciated.

see attached. When I right-click on the sender's name, nothing happens . . . .

[also, when I "browsed to get the file to attach, your system ignores all .BMPs. Very frustrating. And, why not allow us to drag an image?]

This all started when I cancelled Xfinity and went to Frontier Internet. I had previously used Thunderbird for 8 years through Xfinity with no problems. I have contacted Xfinity and Frontier and both have told me it is a problem with a Thunderbird setting.

Sending of the message failed. An error occured while sending mail: Outgoing mail server (smtp) error. The server responded: resomta-c2p-555920.sys.comcast.net resonta-c2p-555920 sys.comcast.net. Excessive failed authentication. ESMTP server temporarily not available.

Thunderbird freezes on loading. It seems to be working (window notifications show incoming mails). The top bar has one item which says "loading" but never does! I am running WIN 11 pro with AVG. I have tried the following: - open TH in program safe mode - Open TH with laptop in safe mode - uninstall and reinstall - Open with antivirus turned off - Deleted all .msf files in current profile (judging by time and date) which seems to have been called xxxxxxxxx.repair . On restart TH did not reinstate the .msf files and the blank frozen screen was still there. - there were about 4 other profiles in the directory although in reality there should only be one. These profiles have various names: defaultnew, default (2 off), default-release and repair. - All profiles except the one with ".repair" were copied to another location before restarting. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. I want to archive my older e-mails to a Local Folder that I created. I set up Archiving to archive to an "Archive" subfolder on Local Folders. But when I select e-mails and try to archive them by right-clicking and choosing "Archive," they don't appear in the folder I created. A subfolder is created with the year of the e-mails as its name, but there's nothing in it. If I look at its Properties, it shows 0 messages. I also tried selecting e-mails and copying them to the local folder, but that doesn't work either. I get the same result. I also tried repairing the folders and closing and re-opening TBird, but no help.

My Thunderbird version is 68.12.1 64 bit, running on Windows 7 x64. Any help would be appreciated. I can provide any info that might be needed.

TIA Les

How do I reset the information Thunderbird sends to my email provider (Names.co.uk)? This information has changed as I had to change my password on Outlook (i.e. Microsoft). I used Thunderbird to access this email for many years. So there is an existing account with <outlook.office365.com>. I would like to reclaim access to this account.

Problème de connexion avec le serveur IMAP malgré que tout les identifiants soient corrects, je ne peux pas répondre non plus ? j'ai eu beau créer un nouveau Mot de passe, le mème message revient systématiquement ?

J'ai créé un compte POP 3 qui fonctionne en réception.

Long story short... my ISP's AI spam filter went crazy on me. They finally fixed the problem. I can send my research notes again, but only through my ISP's web mail. But Thunderbird is still throwing a VO-101 error.

How do I reset my spam filter?

Thunderbird 115.3.3 (64-bit). Just updated to 115.10.1 (64-bit). The problem persists.

Win 10 Pro

Also... Feedback: Did a Thunderbird search and automatically clicked the first entry. (Yes... that was stupid.) Ended up at a site that wanted my credit card number. Didn't give them any personal info.

I have selected a .WAV file to play on message receipt but no sound! "Default system sound" also doesn't sound . . . .

I tried to attach my "mailcall.wav" but your system wants only images. **Sigh**

As of this morning, I can only view emails which were received or sent today. Anything sent or received before today is not displayed. I am still able to access emails received prior to today by using the Search function. This only applies on my desktop. On my laptop, emails are displayed normally.

I've used Thuderbird for years; no problems.

Installed 102 on my new laptop running Win 11. After initial download of new mail, it never downloaded new messages again. Tried 115, same problem Tried numerous re-installs of both; same problem.

How do I solve this?
