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.

Is it possible to change the default calendar in Thunderbird so that my google calendar is automatically used when creating a new event rather than "Home"? It would be useful when creating events not to have to remember to change the Calendar from Home to another from the drop down menu. Grateful for any help.

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

I am about to lose access to Outlook. My current settings show imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com and it is working. This is an sbcglobal.net account. When I look at what ATT says it should be due to changes they made it reflects imap.mail.att.net and smtp.mail.att.net. The ports are the same between both choices. It says on both of these when entered that it can't access and the user name or password is incorrect which is not the case. Any help out there???

I just installed Thunderbird, linked it to my primary email account (ok!) and then tried to import one year's worth of email messages exported from my Apple Mail client as .mbox folders with an underlying folder structure (1 per month). Thunderbird went away for about 2 hours "downloading" and importing ( ... looking good!), but at the end my "Local Folder: Apple Mail Import" still shows no messages. Where are they and how can I access them in the Thunderbolt client?

Hello,

am I correct that there is today no way to save the attachments of several (many!) emails of a folder in Thunderbird?

I have the same email address since the 90s and many thousands of emails, many with good memories (photos). I came from Eudora who had a great idea: an attachment folder :). From the technical side Thunderbird is probably doing this ok, but from the user perspective, it is not nice that all attachment are quite lost in the mailbox files.

I know that there are addons and other software that say that can do this task, but the most popular addon is kind of not developed at the moment I guess, and I also got errors.

What would be your recommendation for my task ?

Hi, Been a Thunderbird user for many years - decades. Suddenly, this morning it won't load or open. Tried repeatedly, always same error message. Running Mac Sequoia 15..1.1 Get a crash report, then attempt to reopen but always same result. Screengrab of how it looks attached, this is just before it crashes. All current e-mails inaccessible, and most of the archive stretching back a long time.I've been able to set up MacMail on the active accounts so I can now receive and send, I have managed to import some old archive but everything for some years, particularly recent archived is inaccessible. There have been a couple of instances over the past week where loading was slow, opened to a blank window but a quick restart always worked. Not this morning. How can I continue? Or at least open to access archives. For some reason tre archive folder structure changed some years back and I can't access those more recent folders.

Please advise.......
