Thunderbird Community Forum

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

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

About 3 weeks ago, I stopped getting email from ATT in Thunderbird. I am able to go online to the ATT mail and see my email, so it is something with Thunderbird. I've looked online for other suggestions and have tried several. Between everything, I've really messed things up and not sure where to start now. Last thing I tried was to delete the certificate and now I can't seem to add a certificate. Not sure if I'm suppose to create a new one or if there is one on my computer.

This morning I found some steps on how to create one. It had me go to the End-to-End Encryption to generate a new one. I didn't see that option, so I created a new OpenPGP key (not sure why I thought that would help).

Maybe the best thing is to try and reinstall Thunderbird.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Thank you.

I have an issue when it comes to opening pdf files sent via email. The issue occurs on one of the user profiles. That particular user is unable to open pdf attachments. When the file is downloaded, the size of the file appears as 0 kb and the file cannot be opened due to an error saying the file is corrupted. When sent to a different email address the same file opens without a problem using Thunderbird or when downloaded. The issues does not happen everytime a pdf file is sent to the previously mentioned user but it occurs on the majority of pdf files. I am writing this email to inquire about any possible solutions to this problem. I am looking forward to your reply.

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.

For the last week I have been unable to send emails from my main email account (Bigpond) because an error/alert message pops up (see attached). I have check the Outbound Server settings and they are correct. I have also successfully sent emails from my providers Webmail as well as from my Gmail account in Thunderbird without an issue. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks Peter

Hello,

I have a friend who is profoundly blind. He uses Thunderbird email but needs a keyboard shortcut to open attachments to an email. Is there a keyboard shortcut? If not can you create one?

Emails are popping up on my computer/laptop but not reacing the "board" so that they can be read. Some of them are but definitely not all. I have now confirmed this (I am no computer whizz kid) as they are coming up O.K. on my phone. There is likely to be no point emailing me to say somebody is answering . less than half emails are coming properly in.

Hello Folks,

I've been looking for this in Thunderbird Calendar, but I haven't been able to find it. It is a calendar view that is a variant of 7 day week. Other tools call it "Next 7 days". It shows Today as the day on the far left with the next 6 days on the calendar using the "Week" view format.

Does this exist in Thunderbird?

Just switching between inboxes can cause up to a 10 second delay with Thundebird "not responding" with the spinning wheel. It has been like this for the last few laptops I've had and through all the updates and I am getting ready to call it quits. I did a performance recording of me just clicking through the different folders and then it locks up on one. You can see it here https://share.firefox.dev/3WlrRi9

I am using a primary gmail imap account, an office 365 imap account, and another imap account from an ISP.

Yesterday I migrated Thunderbird from Supernova to Nebula. Using the Find Events button in Calendar, I used to see, by default, all events matching the search criteria (text, tags, read/unread etc.). In Nebula, the options for filtering the dates are very limited (see attached image). For example, I would like to be able to select the previous month (for expense claims) or the current of previous calendar year (for fiscal data) or the year to date. Or maybe a custom date range. Or, like in Supernova, everything. I never noticed any performance issue, so please bring back the Supernova default or at least provide some extra options.

setting up a new computer, trying to set up my gmail account on Thunderbird I get this message... Secure connection failed

' live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate)

   *   This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be
     someone trying to impersonate the server.

   *   If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may
     be temporary, and you can try again later.

  Or you can add an exception…

I have 2 machines side by side, the old works just fine , its 12 yrs old, i want to use my new one... how do I fix this ?? And yes ive tried manual settings and all that.. its the certificate in Thunderbird thats expired it says

When tbird opens the inbox, or after I have deleted an email - it opens the 'current' email. I would like to set it up so that it does not open the email ... until I take some action that would cause that. Specifically, I want the ability to delete or mark as spam ... before the email has ever been opened.

 Is this possible?  What area of the settings do I need to check?

Steps to reproduce:

Open settings > general > updates area. Select "new functions and changes" link. There click on "file a bug in Bugzilla".

Actual results:

A white page opens. Maybe it still tries to load (see screenshot).

Expected result:

The bugzilla page should load.

I already filed a bug in bugzilla but it was said that it is a network issue but bugzilla does load on the same device.
