Is there a way to set browser for opening links based on the folder or email accounts?

I have 3 emails setup in thunderbird. I'd like to default EMAIL1 to open links in Chrome. And EMAIL2 to open links in EDGE. Is there a way to do this??

Hi all, When I reply to an email after I click send, it somehow does not go where it should go but comes back to my inbox. If I select that incoming email, go to the Message menu, select Edit as a new message, and send it straight away, it gets sent to where it should be and is put into the sent box as well. Is there something I've done wrong in the background, or is it a bug? Thanks in advance Steve

Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bit) can obtain access to my Google Calendar and Contacts but not to email. This is a clean installation on a brand new Windows 11 computer. I have reinstalled Thunderbird three times, deleted saved passwords, deleted only the SMTP and IMAP saved passwords (preserving OAuth2 passwords), deleted Thunderbird's access in Gmail security settings to force it to re-request access, followed every instruction on every forum and help page I can find, but Thunderbird refuses to send and receive mail. Thunderbird finds the correct configuration and sets it up (correct ports, IMAP, SMTP, correct servers, OAuth2, etc.) I used my Gmail address and the same password as I use for webmail.

I am presently using Outlook for Gmail because it connected immediately using the same credentials as I am trying with Thunderbird. When I delete access permission in Gmail security settings, then add Gmail to Thunderbird again, it prompts for access to Contacts and Calendar but not to mail (one time it flashed a screen saying it could not because Java is not enabled in my web browser--but Java is enabled on both my default browser, Edge, and on Chrome; the page that came up appears to be some internal browser in Thunderbird).

The attached images show the configurations for IMAP server, the SMTP server, and that the saved passwords contain two OAuth2 URLs, one for contacts and the other for the calendar, but nothing for mail.

I have been using Thunderbird for years, and have a massive archive of emails in it, would really like to use it as my email client rather than Outlook. Installation and configuration has never been this difficult. Does anybody have any thoughts on what to do next?

I am receiving the following error message on a Win 11 desktop running Thunderbird 128.6.0.esr (64 bit): "The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on my.fr33.email@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to the folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." I do not have a folder [Gmail]/Trash on the gmail server. I also do not get this error on other Thunderbird clients running Win 10 or Win 11. I also do NOT get the error when I manually compact the my.fr33.email account, either at the account level or at the Gmail folder level. Once I acknowledge the error the system seems to run normally until is wants to automatically compact folders. Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- John Randle Knoxville, TN

I have used TB for many, many years and have never had this problem before. In the tool bar at the top of the email Inbox toolbar there are a number of blank emails which are getting annoying. Is there a way to remove them. I am using v. 128.6.0esr

I am attaching a screenshot

Please can anyone help.

Hi, I am wondering why I have to close Thunderbird and reopen to get my emails. If I don't get emails for a few hours I close and reopen and there they are. I am running Windows 11, using Comcast/Xfinity, Port 993 and Port 465, SSL/TLS. What should I change or do so I get my emails immediately when they are sent to me? Thanks-In-Advance. Marc

I'm using latest Thunderbird version set with IMAP on W10. It works fine and the PC is on 24x7. Every now and then Thunderbird stops sending Mail claiming it cannot contact the SMTP Server but the Server is correct and it works fine. I have to reboot the PC in order to make it capable of sending Mails again. CPU, RAM, SSD and Net values are almost Idle. I'd like to identify what causes this issue. I've checked the Windows Application Log but there's anything that helps. Where can I start troubleshooting from? Thanks.

For some reason I now have multiple copies of empty sub-folders in the Deleted Folder of my Local Accounts. I have tried emptying the Deleted Folder and I have tried to manually delete the unwanted sub-folders within the Deleted Folder. I have also noted that one of the unwanted sub-folders has appeared elsewhere in a completely unrelated sub-folder.

How do I deal with this?

Bonjour, I have used TB fore more than 20 years without major problems but today I am stuck. The TB version I run on is: 128.6.0esr (64 bits) on Windows 10 I use three accounts with Orange, one has the problem, not the two others. Originally the settings were the same on all three/

pop.orange.fr Port 110, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 587, default 587

Having sought help from the French (my mother tong) TB forum, one suggested to replace those settings for: pop.orange.fr Port 995, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 465, default 587 As a result I no longer received the ERROR message asking me for a password, instead a small blue segment showed on the bottom right of my screen and, after a while...nothing: no mail IN no mail OUT. I tried these new settings on the two other accounts with just the same result: no mail IN no mail OUT. So I went back to the original ones.

Has anyone a clue?

Menu item "Forward" is grayed out and unusable, but works in other parts of the gui.

I've circled the menu items I'm reporting.

Thanks

My thunderbird has not been able to connect to my gmail account. I don't get any error but I do get the notification "connection to server imap.gmail.com timed out".

I have checked all the settings for Thunderbird and Gmail as specified on the Mozilla web site and have re-installed Mozilla with not change.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?

Regards Roger

Greetings When I go to my sent folder I'm not seeing all of my emails. Currently I'm only seeing 25 going back to Dec. 2024. I know there's many more. Anyone know why?

Hi, recently installed Thunderbird as sick of Goog ramming their data harvesting crap down my throat.

Thunderbird seems great so far but can't seem to find out how to archive email in the Android app? Neither left or right swipe does an archive and there's no button either. Have it working fine in the desktop app with the archive button.

Aware of the archive / All Mail scenario.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi... i finally got to grips with tags. however, i did something that caused all the tags to appear at the bottom of the email/inbox list in blocks (still in date order though)... how can i get them back embedded in the main email/inbox list according to date received... this is what i mean by 'embedded'.... i hope this makes sense to someone? thanks in advance
