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?

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.

Hi.

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

Hi

I am having trouble finding emails with malicious attachments. I'm using one of ESET's security products which, after scans, find malicious content in the INBOX file, located locally on the device under the path %APPDATA%%RoamingThunderbirdProfiles(_Name_Of_the_profile)_Imapmail(_Name_of_mail)_INBOX(mail123). Unfortunately, the security product is unable to get rid of the dangerous file, but only gives information that something bad is in the email. When trying to find a specific email, I unfortunately run into a lot of problems. 1. the name of the email - in this case "mail123" does not exist in the thunderbird application itself. If I understand correctly, thunderbird itself chooses names for individual mails and then packs them in the INBOX file. 2. it is possible to correlate the email name from the INBOX file to the actual name(subject) of the email using other software such as MailStoreHome by importing the entire email profile (_Name_of_the_profile). 3. once the email is already correlated and found in MailStoreHome, I should be able to find the same email in Thunderbird (as I have imported the INBOX file, which is located locally, and which Thunderbird itself reads). Well, unfortunately no. Such an email in the Thunderbird mailbox (I already know the subject, content, date, etc.) does not exist.

And here comes my question. Is it possible to open the INBOX file itself and then find the unfortunate email and delete it?

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?
