Thunderbird issue:

System: Two computers running Linux Mint 21.3 - Google Chrome is the default browser.

Both running Thunderbird 115

Both have the same two accounts set up  : Pop3 – gmail.com

Both accounts were announcing ‘You Have Mail” using custom WAV file.

Both accounts are set for manual downloads.

I stay up to date on all updates for system as well as TB

Issue:

All worked A-O.K. until a month ago when one (primary account on one computer stopped announcing “You Have Mail”. The other account (secondary) as well as both accounts on the other computer still function normally, i.e. the wav file is functional.

I have tried everything that I can think of to address the issue but have been coming up empty handed.

I haven’t messed with the css files but have change paths to the file, used a different wav file. Tried oga, mp3, etc. all with no fix. I’ve changed themes and checked other add-ons. Still no fix.

I could live without it but I’m one that likes to have everything working!

Is it in my profile or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have several accounts.

One of the accounts never shows that it has unread messages. If I go into it - I see new messages just fine, but they are marked as "read". If I go to that account through web - I see the new messages as "unread", as they should be.

This happens on only one of the accounts. All others correctly show, in the list of accounts, that I have unread messages. Do not see any difference between account settings.

The offending account is from gmail, but I also have another gmail one which works correctly.

Any suggestions where to look?

Thunderbird version is: 115.16.2 (64-bit)

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

For awhile now, when I search with Google on my iPhone, the results come back very small. This doesn’t happen on my iPad or with the Google app. I have searched but only see solutions like increase the font size or similar solutions. Is there a solution for why this is happening?

Hi Everyone!

I'm on the very latest version of firefox and in the last few weeks when using messenger and someone sends me attachments and the like it won't work.

thunderbird version 2024 - toolbar customization: missing: "delete" and "junk"

Dear ,

we send a note as i handle average day, some 1000 emails in thunderbird.

for handling this , we use thunderbird last 10 years, where as the mail toolbar is:

previous - next - (delete ) - (junk )

In all versions up to 2023 , we would install above 4 (four ) settings on one line after each other.

In the new version from 2024 , the settings between: ( ) , are no longer in the main possibilies, but

we must use these settings on the line under; which takes far more time than all on one line.

Is it possible to have the ( ) settings, in the next new version , back again , like before ??

Nice greetings,

I am getting very frustrated with the junk mail. I have very important emails ending up in junk. They aren't marked as junk but they are still being put in junk. Most are in my address book so shouldn't be there at all. Even when I mark them as not junk, they still get put in junk. I've reset the adaptive junk and it makes no difference. I've even turned off all junk settings and they still go into junk! I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. Please, can someone help? I'm seriously considering giving up on Thunderbird and using a different email client.

Hi folks, thanks for the amazing Thunderbird on Android.

I have a couple of observation I'd like to share.

1. When the device's theme is set to dark and Thunderbird follows, some parts of the email body becomes unreadable. This is not the case with Gmail (this is a Gmail account). I am attaching screenshots for this (1.jpeg for Gmail, 2.jpeg for Thunderbird). Is this an expected behavior?

2. The app seems to use green and violet colors for email body by default. And, it misses some of format colors of the email body itself. That is something I do not prefer. Is there a reason why Thunderbird chose this color and formatting? Is there a way to change the colors? Again attaching screenshots for this (please note the arrows I made especially, 3 for Gmail and 4 for Thunderbird and two others I did not number showing the green format (from Udemy)).

3. There are format problems with the Thunderbird (5 for Gmail and 6 for Thunderbird). Are these expected? It makes reading and seeing the mail problematic.

4. I think there is a problem with the way notification times are shown on Thunderbird. In the screenshot 7, you see that notification timestamp for Thunderbird is shown as 14:07. However, none of the emails shown just below have that time. Why would that be the case?

5. Lastly, even though the setting is set for Push, my emails come on average 10-25 minutes later than Gmail app itself. Is this also an expected behavior?

Thank you.

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

Hello,

For 2 of my Yahoo DE e-mail accounts, I cannot go further when setting up. When I click on "I am not a robot" (reCaptcha), I get this kind of error message telling me that some API settings are invalid. This doesn't happen on other accounts of other providers. Thanks for your help. Best regards.

I am dislexic and sometime mis-type the destination domain address. Can I get Thunderbird to check the domain exists before sending it to the mail server? I can't find an addon to do this. Sometimes there is a considerable wait before I get an error message back.

Hello community,

I couldn't find any information in google regarding my issue. I'm Polish and I'm using polish keyboard layout so when pressing ALT and a letter i get polish signs: ąłźć etc. But sometimes, only in firefox, CTRL starts to behaving strange, I can't use any shortcuts (CTRL+T, CTRL+C, CTRL+A etc) because CTRL starts to working like ALT and I get polish letters instead of selecting all text. ALT is still working like intended.

I don't know what triggers this and what makes it go away (it's not permament). When I started typing this it started to working correctly but it will return in some time. Im using 132.0 on Windows 11.
