I have a profile that started on a PC and moved to Mac (Sonoma). I now want to put on another Mac from a backup. I have tried linking to the old profile using Profile Information. I click Create A New Profile and highlight the old profile after moving it into the User>Library Profile Folder, but I only get a new profile and not a link to the saved profile. What am I not doing or not doing right.

Also, in the past, there were two items in the Library>Thunderbird folder showing links to the profiles automatically installed when the program was installed. These had to be removed when installing my own existing profile. Those install links are not present. I'm attaching a screenshot of the T-bird folder.

Thank you.

In the latest automatic update of Thunderbird to version 128.0 messages keep the headline in boldface even after being read, which didn't happen in previous versions. I wonder if there's a possibility of roll-back this change or customize it in settings?

I am using Thunderbird 128, and by default if a message has a tag it just shows an icon in the Cards view - how can I change it to show the actual tag name(s)?

I can enable a column for this in Table View, but I prefer to do this in the Cards View.

Hi

I've been using Thunderbird for years with no issues. It's set up using IMAP and downloads emails from the web from my ISP. I have several different email account with my ISP. They are all set up to download to Thunderbird. All but one is working fine.

My primary email, however, is only downloading intermittently. It downloads all my emails on start up, then doesn't download any more unless I close Thunderbird and re-open. This is a new issue. Nothing has changed in my set up which is configured identically for all my email address (and the others are working fine).

I have been getting some spam/phish emails using Display Name Spoofing of some senders I recognize.

In each case the display name is in my personal address book, but the email address of this spam does not match and is different each time. The people being spoofed are aware this is going on but since the spam emails do not originate from their PCs or sometimes not even their ISPs, there isn't any easy fix on their end.

It would be useful to have an inbox filter that would check the personal address book for known display names and made sure the email address matched. Just highlighting a mismatch would be helpful.

Sometimes when I consign an email to the trash and then need to re-read it later, it's turned into gibberish. A tiny fraction of a recent is below. I've used the "repair text encoding" feature, without any result. If I scroll further down in the gibberish, there are links that weren't in the original email and would have had to be sucked in from other emails in trash, which I just don't get. I can go back to the email on my phone, but on my desktop, they are hopelessly jumbled. What causes this and how can I stop it? Thanks!

Just about every day I need to create a new Thunderbird favorite on the Ubuntu dock. The previously created favorite does launch Thunderbird but another icon appears at the bottom, resulting in two Thunderbird icons in the dock. Is this an indication that I might have a virus or other malware. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you for your time. Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Thunderbird v115.12.2 (64 bit) Build 20240621154414 Runing on Windows 10.

We've noticed an odd behaviour with the replied icon to the left of the subject column in the main Inbox display. Sometimes, the icon is present for messages we've replied to. Sometimes it appears and then disappears after another Sync and sometimes, doesn't appear at all for messages we know we've responded to.

Introducing the Status column into the main display does not show different results to the icon. If the flag is missing to the left of the subject column, the status only lists the message as read.

Firstly, has anyone else experienced this on and off behaviour and secondly, what specific feature needs to be present on the server to fully support the replied flag? I'm hoping it's a server issue that we can raise with our provider.

Many thanks.

Husband's email account says he can't send emails; this happened on my account a few weeks ago but I can't remember how to fix it. Can someone look at these screen shots and tell me what we need to fix? Thank you so much for your help! (NOTE: Spectrum is the provider.)

I use Thunderbird on multiple servers as an IMAP client. I update TB automatically. I sometimes get multiple copies of emails. They usually are in boxes into which I move emails automatically with rules, but occasionally in my inbox as well. I have not yet seen any duplicates in my sent mail on any server.

Can you tell me likely causes? One of the problems we are having is occasional loss of internet signal (I guess we're at the end of the web :)) so could this be a manifestation of that problem? If I run a duplicate check, the program will identify all as duplicates.

If it were connection only, I'd expect to sometimes get 3 or more copies as well, but I only get two.

Is there a fix for this annoyance? It happens mostly on yahoo! (the only email on which I run filters, but also the one that I notice sometimes that it takes forever to save an outgoing or draft message) but occasionally I have seen it on gmail server and Microsoft 365 server as well.

Webmail shows no duplicates on any server.

I have cleared the index files, etc but that does not seem to be the solution. This is intermittent, which is why I am thinking it may be an intermittent internet problem.

I'd like for it to not happen, so is this a possible problem to fix in Thunderbird?

Thanks,

Russ

My thunderbird email account was on my old laptop and now I'm trying to get into it on a new laptop and it is asking for a password that I've forgotten and doesn't give me the option to put in a new one. What can I do to get my old email account working on my new laptop?

Hello--

I would like to know how an individual can view the total headers in an email. In particular, I would like to open the headers that show who the email was sent to......

I read another person's question along the same lines, but did not notice an answer.

Please help.

Thank you

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

Hi. I have an email purporting to be from Microsoft telling me that I will have access problems with Thunderbird from September onwards. Something to do with authentification. Assuming it is genuine (is it?) I have no idea what to do. It gives 'instructions' which are incomprehensible to me. I dont even know why this link is to Mozilla rather than thunderbird. I don't want to loose Thunderbird's calendar or stored files let alone the ease of access I currently enjoy. I need someone kind and patient to tell this novice how to move forward in a pedantic, non-terminology way who is happy to assume I know nothing! Please help! Brian

Today I changed my Google password, and now I can't login via Thunderbird to get email.

On startup, I am prompted with the Google login screen, which asks for my email or phone. I click Next, and get the message

   400. That’s an error.

   The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Sonoma 14.5.
