I've changed primary email some time ago and wanted to login using a new device. However, login fails with "Incorrect email case" and response contains my old email under "errors[0].extensions". After that, there is another request doing login with old email, which seem to be successful, however the whole operation fail and page only shows "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again.". Trying to login directly with an old email leads to "Primary account email required for sign-in" error. Please assist.

EDITED1 IS IT MORE CLEAR ? Hello everybody, its my first question here! I am using the Firefix password manager and it allows me to store passwords within firefox. And with the general password of password manager, I am able to view and copy passwords. For one website, I changed the password, but made an error. When I do login on that website, password manager lets appear different options with dates. See screenshot on link.These dates dont appear when I open the password manager. Now I can stil login on that website when I choose a former date of 23 avril on the list. How can I copy this password? Have a beautiful day... or night ! Xavier

What are these new columns which suddenly appeared? From (CB), Recipient (CB), and Correspondents (CB)

I've never used them and can't imagine allowing them to clog my message headings so I uncheck them when I find them.

Hi,

TL;TR. Thunderbird should not change the whole folder (e.g. Inbox) during compacting by replacing "From" with "From - Mon May 3 20:50:30 2004" and the other way round. It dramatically increases the size of incremental backups done by tools detecting only blocks of bigger files which change.

Longer version. I use Borg to backup Thunderbird profile. It supports deduplication and can incrementally backup only parts of bigger files which have changed. As I use filters to automatically move messages from Inbox to the other folders, before backup, I perform compacting of the Inbox folder to effectively remove moved messages (and those deleted manually - e.g. the biggest ones). I worked pretty fine - there were no changes detected by Borg in the old messages. Only new messages were backed up.

However, it worsen in the recent months - Borg started to detected changes also in the old messages in Inbox (after compacting performed before the every backup session). As a result, a (compressed) incremental copy takes ~1/3 of the whole Inbox (instead of some MBs). For Inbox having 5GB+, it can be a problem (e.g. when - slow - network storage is used).

I diffed the Inbox file before and after of recent compacting and Thunderbird around an upgrade to 128.x (I cannot tell exactly which minor version it was) changed the "From" line for every message from just "From" to "From - Thu Nov 14 22:32:10 2024" (a date when the compaction was performed). In older backups I see that some earlier versions of Thunderbird removed the date replacing the line with just "From".

My question. Had it been an accidental change (with removing the date) which was later reverted and there will be no more "rewriting" compacted folders? Or it's "more complicated" and people using incremental backup cannot sleep peacefully?

P.S. Let's skip the msf files for the moment as they are much smaller.

Can I get mails with certain subject or from certain correspondent get automatically tagged (say Important) and eventually moved to a certain folder? Best regards WJ

helo, my text cursor position always at behind of text make it hard to locate. e.g. when i click on "find in settings" box, the cursor locate at behind the "find in settings" words not at the front.

Yesterday TB did an update and when I started the app today it was like I was using the program for the very first time. I had to re-enter my e-mail account settings, change the window layout (that took one hour) and now find a way to get my personal folders back. There are folders that I myself created and they contain saved e-mails.

Using my ISP's webmail service I can see that these folders still exist on their server. But despite all my one line research, I haven't been able to solve this problem. I did run trouble shoot, but that didn't help.

If anyone has any tips, tricks or other solutions, please let me know.

I am not sure this is really about Installation and updates, but none of the others seemed to apply.

This is the second major issue I have had since upgrading to 128esr. I am really inclined to go back to 115.

The only way to get my Calendar to display properly is to leave that tab on top when I quit, so it's on top when I launch Thunderbird. If I don't do that, I cannot get my appointments to display and I get no notifications. The Calendar is blank and stays blank, even though it claims my Home calendar is not hidden. I did try hiding it and unhiding it again, but that didn't help. I do not have any Calendar-related add-ons.

It's severely annoying. It means that if I forget to leave the Calendar on top, I have quit, re-launch, and re-log into all my e-mail accounts (I've got a bunch). Could someone please find a better solution for this?

I am using Thunderbird for Mac on a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, mid 2012 running 10.15.7 (Catalina), which is the best the thing can do. Only tell me to upgrade my hardware if you are offering to pay for it yourself.

Thank you.

Email from a trusted address over past decade is suddenly going to Junk as of today. Cannot see how to whitelist the Sender, and googling the question tells me to go to Tools>Options, however Options does not show in the Tools menu.

Having just used Windows Update (on Windows 10), the screensaver lock screen comes on with my chosen picture AND four large buttons for weather etc. I didn't ask for the buttons, and don't want them. Is this a Firefox issue, or maybe a Windows issue? Do you know how I can stop them coming on please? (Firefox v. 132.0.2 current)

What is this window called? When this window started popping up a couple of months ago, I noticed a couple of odd things happening on a website I go to. It would not let me pay them. It would look like it was going to then a white screen would pop up ans say" if you see this window then you ...........". I then have to pay on the phone or chrome. I have whitelisted the site but still does it.

Hi,

First, thank you for volunteering.

It seems that at some point my computer updated to Thunderbird 128.4.3esr. Normally, these automated updates are trouble-free, but this time, my view changed, and I can't figure out how to change it back.

Each individual message is now in its own mini-window, and takes up 4 (?) times the vertical space that it used to. The old view was much more useful to me because I could visually scan far more messages in a single pane.

I have selected view>denstiy>compact, and hamburger>view>layout>classic view, but I still have the big bubbles.

Is there a way to restore the view in which each massge took only a single line of text?

Thank You.
