I-Thunderbird Community Forum

Threading has suddenly returned.

It has caused my mail organisation much grief in the past and I need to turn it off totally and permanently.

I am on Thunderbird 128.5.2 on Linux Mint 22.

Assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

I had some problems with Thunderbird being non-responsive in downloading e-mails about 6 months ago but got it working where it asks me to enter a login and password. Now this feature no longer appears and Thunderbird is again non-responsive and doesn't download e-mails. When I click on Get Messages nothing happens. Is there an account setting that I need to change?

Greetings,

Thunderbird is sending the drafts it autosaves to the person I am emailing.

I know that thunderbird to Gmail connectivity is, well, very bad to say the least, however I have only found one post online about it, which led not to answers.

PLEASE help.

Thanks in advance, -MK

I have several Google accounts. For each one, the first time I checked my mail, I got a Thunderbird pop up saying "See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar" and another Thunderbird pop-up saying "See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts", followed by two "Mozilla Thunderbird Email was granted access to your Google Account" emails to each account.

And for all accounts but one, that was the end of it. But for one account, for some reason, I have to go through the whole authorization process again each time I start Thunderbird. I tried deleting the account, and Thunderbird still made me go through the whole authorization process -- for an account that no longer existed!

I re-created the account. No change.

Any idea what the problem is? It started after a Thunderbird update.

I created a folder with a name that has diacritics used in the Lithuanian language: Šarūnas

Thunderbird will not let me move emails from another folder into this folder. This fails both with drag and drop and with using the right-click menu.

When I created a folder without diacritics (Sarunas) the emails can be moved into the folder.

Letters with diacritics are an essential part of spelling and not having them can significantly change the meaning of the words. What do I need to do in order to use folder names with diacritics?

With both the old and now new laptop, cannot get my mail from the messaging Co, but can from their weblink. Ongoing correspondence has given me the in and outgoing servers, all to no avail. This has been going on for over a year. Ingoing port 993. Outgoing 465 Very occasionally I get some mail come in, strangely enough. All outgoing comes back as "timed out" Any clues please. John

Fastmail appears to have cut the connection with my Thunderbird account and they say I will now need an App Password. They have instructions for generating this, but I can find no place on Thunderbird to enter it. Primary Password doesn't seem to be it.

On the android I installed Thunderbird. when I go into the inbox, 1/3 screen shows email list.. 2/3 shows a message preview. I want to remove that preview. I only want to see my emails. I will click on an email if I want to read dit... IT would be fine if I could adjust the preview size but its set at 2/3 to 3/4 of my screen. leaving a tiny column for the emails.

Either adjust preview size, or remove it totally?

Please advise

For example - When I get an email from Amazon and they want me to choose certain items I want to search I used to be able to point (with an arrow) to that item - now I don't get an arrow I get either a +sign or a -sign. How can I get back the arrow symbol to choose a particular item??

On Windows 11 Pro (latest updates) desktop, I use Thunderbird (latest update) to send/receive email. Usually, Norton 360 (latest update) VPN must be turned off to received emails. I say "usually," because sometimes it works with VPN on. Is there a way to receive emails without needing to usually turn off VPN? What I have been trying hasn't worked. Thanks, if you can help.

I'm switching from Outlook to Thunderbird Nebula 128.6.0 and I am attempting the import of my "Contacts" from Outlook into Thunderbird "Address Book" via .csv file. My contacts from Outlook are a mess as over the years I did not always enter them by manually as a field at a time. Sometimes the address entry was pasted into Outlook or via a download and this produces a .csv with a poor data structure. There is no way I would expect to get a decent data transfer from such a jumble so in an effort to supply Thunderbird with a half decent .csv file I decided to edit the Outlook exported .csv to match a Thunderbird .csv export. I made up a new Address Book in Thunderbird with a few names and addresses and exported it to a .csv. Unfortunately when I look into the exported file some data does not appear to have been exported. For example I only have one phone number exported under 'Work Phone' although there are two or more listings in my made up contact in the address book. The same with email addresses, only the first two listings are exported under 'Primary Email' and 'Secondary Email' although I have more in the made up contact in the Thunderbird Address Book. I wonder if anyone else has undertaken this task and can share any tips for the best way to approach this, or maybe tell me where Thunderbird is putting the data that it does not export? I note that Thunderbird structures the phone numbers as 'Work Phone', 'Home Phone', 'Fax Number', 'Pager Number', but the "New Contact" screen does not have any of these input options. I'm a bit stumped at the moment so any ideas or help would be most appreciated. Regards. Greg
