I have been using Thunderbird for many years and on my desktop PC the inbox display has never changed. I also have a laptop that has the email account that has the same display. Yesterday the laptop did some type of Window 10 update changes occurred. Many of my application icons disappeared and when I opened Thunderbird the screen layout had changed. There is only one column with massages and the cant be sorted by sender of date etc. Have you changed the program and, if so, why doe it not change on my desktop but become very inefficient on a laptop. Thank you.

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:?

Thunderbird on Ubuntu 24.04 - normal dash icon has been replaced - how to recover?

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04. I also migrated from using Thunderbird via snap to installing and running it via Flatpak.

As a result, the Thunderbird icon on the dock now shows the normal logo with an annoying green circle with the number "1" in white text on top. I have uploaded the image.

This suggests there is one new message but that is not the case - whether there are 0 new messages or 10 new messages, the icon in the dash does not change.

How can I return to the original Thunderbird icon?

I have checked the org.mozilla.Thunderbird.desktop file which is located in /usr/share/applications and and it says:

Icon=thunderbird StartupWMClass=thunderbird-esr

However, I have no idea where the thunderbird icon is located and how to replace it with my own .png file. I cannot find the current icon file anywhere.

Does anyone know how to replace the current icon with my own icon or with the original Thunderbird icon?

Hi,

I use the latest Thunderbird email client 128.2.2esr (64-bit). Microsoft announced that to make it work with outlook all users have to make changes in settings for more security. I did all that they wrote and can receive emails on my .......@outlook.com email address, but I can't send emails due to absence of authentication setting for outgoing server. I attached screenshots FYI. Is it possible to fix this issue? It's required to add authentication setting for outgoing server.

Regards, Leonid.

Hi. Is there a way to add travel time to an appointment just like you can do in google or apple calendar? It’s a great feature. When I add an adres to my appointment Apple calendar will automatically add the travel time by car from my home to the destination. I miss that feature in Thunderbird.

G'day from 'Straya!

I have migrated Thunderbird from one Windows laptop to another, copying the profile and all included files. This mostly worked but has created a couple of issues I am trying to troubleshoot and could really use some help.

First thing probably worth noting is that I had an earlier version of Thunderbird on the old laptop than the new one downloaded to the new laptop. I don't that if that is the problem.

I have two email accounts which are both using IMAP. When I delete an email in Thunderbird, it keeps coming back and I now have multiple copies of that email. My storage is filling up 😒 Is there a setting I am missing?

Additionally, the migration does not seem to have brought over my contacts. Did I miss something?

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
