Thunderbird-mienskipsfoarum

Hello, I've been using thunderbird since 2013, and have never had as many issues as I have this year. I reinstalled Thunderbird (uninstalled with revo uninstaller so nothing stayed), and then installed the latest version fresh. This seemed to smooth out most of my issues, but I haven't been able to solve this one..

I use Thunderbird because I have multiple email accounts to monitor and like them all in one place. The latest problem that I am having is that my "sent" email is showing up as giberish (sometimes.. Not every email, and not always on the same account).

My system is Windows 11 Home 64-bit

I will attach a screen shot of: 1. My current version of Tbird 2. The email that displays in Tbird 3. The email that displays in Gmail

Thank you in advance! -Eric

When opening an "ics" attachment I was given a popup modal, where I could change the default behaviour when clicking an "ics" attachment. I opted for open with thunderbird as a default, however I want to change this. When looking under "Settings" -> "Files & Attachments" only PDF and Text File are listed as content types with an according action. I also tried right clicking the attachment to see what options I would get but there are only the options "Open", "Save as...", "Detach..." and "Delete".

So there is no way for me to change the default behaviour of "ics" files that I could find.

Does anyone know how to change this?

I am using MacOS 15.0.1 & Thunderbird 128.3.3esr

Before the Thunderbird update to Version 128.3.1esr it was possible to click on an Event in the Lightning Calendar and drag it to a different day. You can still do this when the Calendar is displayed in 'Week' mode, but now you cannot drag an event to a different day when the Calendar is displayed in 'Multi-Week' or 'Month' mode.

Hi.

I have af mail account at One.Com - for years no problem with using Thuinderbird. This morning I am not able to send mails from Thuinderbird. They stays in draft. I have done every thing surgestet at thunderbird support. I have been dialog with One.Com.

I can create a MS outlook IMAP mail and send with no problems.

Hi, after an update to the functions 'send' and 'send later' do not work anymore with no error message. Just doing nothing. When I send the email via Mail Merge, it works. What is wrong, what can I do? /Hans

Problem: newly added account disappears when TB is closed. Thunderbird on this PC (Dell Latitude 6540) has held a Verizon account for years. The "new" account is a different, equally old Verizon account kept on TB in an identical PC I no longer use. When added to TB on the present PC it tests and works fine until TB is closed. Repeated numerous times. Having read thread # 1286437 I did what follows , to no avail: 1. tried TB in troubleshoot mode; 2. tried in Windows safe mode; 3. cleared startup cache; 4. drastically pruned old emails; 5. looked up profile folder under troubleshooting info. Folder qxxxxxxd ( size 1.18 GB before adding new account) holds one folder tree, one directory tree, but NO prefs.js file. Instead, twenty-two prefs-xx.js files from 1 to 22; removed all to a thumb drive except prefs-1.js which I dared not rename as prefs.js; 6. found two profile folders, both labeled default. One is the above holding 1.18 GB, the other holds 685 MB (probably harmless and related to an old university account no longer extant). I copied both profile folders to a thumb drive. Note: profile folder qxxxxxxd is clearly engaged in what I am attempting. When TB is open with the added new account working -- which is the case as I am writing --, profile folder size increases from 1.18 to 1.20 GB and the number of folders increases by one (under "Mail" the list of pop.verizon-xx.net sub-folders increases from 17 to 18). Please advise on what to do next; I am 86 and no software geek, but can follow instructions... Thanks --Paul

Following a tip I got on this forum, I have backed up Thunderbird to a flash drive for years.

Last night, my flash drive showed only 23.7 GB after the backup while the properties of the original data file showed 31.2 GB. What is going on?

We recently got Windows 11 not really by choice. Could this be the issue? I do NOT keep all email. I just keep a lot and it has mounted up over the years.

I do not want to lose 7.5 GB of email messages as one of those might be needed. The back up took almost an hour. That also is not normal.

When I first open Thunderbird 128.3.3esr, the Status Bar shows the progress of querying email servers and of downloading messages. After a while, however, the progress messages stop appearing in the Status Bar. Messages download properly; there's just no message in Status Bar showing progress. When this happens, the Online/Offline button also appears grayed out.

I am using Thunderbird 128.3.1esr on Linux, using the KDE's Plasma 6 desktop environment with KWin using the Wayland protocol.

I have installed two add-ons whose interface is blank: Tag Toolbar/Tag Popup and Tagger. Their interface opened when clicking on the button placed in the toolbar is blank. Namely, there is nothing to see but white space in the box that opened. For Tagger, it is possible to actually interact with the non-visible interface, but for Tag Toolbar this does not seem to be the case. I've attached a screenshot of Tagger's blank interface.

• What could be the reason for this visual glitch?
• Has anyone else encountered something similar before?
• Is there more information I can gather to help resolve the issue?

After rebooting my Mac (MacOS 10.15.7) and opening Thunderbird (128.3.3esr), the inbox display looks messed up. The columns are in different places, and the headings don't match.

See the enclosed screenshot: The subject of the mail is listed under "Correspondents", the sender is listed below "Size", the column for the "favorite" icon (big star) is ridiculously wide and can't be made smaller, the column containing the "spam" symbol has the heading "Date". The column holding the date column is only showing about 3 characters of the date and can't be made wider.

When I worked yesterday, everything looked normal.

How can I fix this? What could possibly be have messed up the settings?

Although there are items in the deleted folder, I am unable to see them. They do sometimes appear if I go back in after say 30 Minutes. How can I get them to show? Also, when sending e-mails I am getting the message 'Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent'. How can I get them to go into the main 'Sent' folder automatically as they used to do?

In Thunderbird, how to search calendar events, NOT OCCURENCES. If I search an event among all, the search takes for ever: it searches through all occurrences of all events. This used to work well. I don't know what I did. LIstings were including every matching Event ONE ONCE. Thank you

I just installed thunderbird and I try to set up my email but it doesn't work. It says: unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. But all my credits are corrects. Plz help me

Is it possible to use Mozilla Thunderbird to access comcast emails? I have spent a couple of days attempting to make this work, but after I enter my information and it is OK'd, I get the "Access Denied" message. Any help here? No one from Mozilla or Comcast has any answers.

I use thunderbird for mails with PGP attachments for quite a long time - several years. Previously it worked via Enigmail add-on. Then usage of this add-on was discontinued and thunderbird worked with PGP attachments without it. It worked until recent weeks but then failed after recent update. I.e. now nothing happens when I choose '"'Decrypt an Save as..." for PGP attachment. At the same time "Decrypt and Open'"' option works fine. I checked console output and see that it raises an error after "Decrypt an Save as...":

JavaScript error: chrome://openpgp/content/ui/enigmailMessengerOverlay.js, line 1924: NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS: Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIFilePicker.displayDirectory]

Current thunderbird version is 128.3.2esr (64-bit)

Lately this has been happening with increasing frequency. I send an e-mail, and when I go to look at it in the SENT folder, the e-mail is there, but the body text is blank. Just gone.

This is an issue because I have to save copies of certain business e-mails that I send.

This happens primarily using a GMAIL account with which I use IMAP.

It doesn't happen all the time. I'd say about 15% right now.

It might be an issue with me sending messages when Thunderbird is compacting , although that's just a guess and I haven't been able to confirm that.

Can anyone shed light on why this is happening and what the fix is?

Postbox having been sold to eM Client, I need to migrate to Thunderbird. Import worked pretty well using the protocol "migrating from a previous Thunderbird installation" however the filters did not import at all. It happens that I have 320 of them, so it would be a great help if some automatic procedure could be implemented. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Regards, Gérald
