Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and its up to date. I've had more and more problems with choppy response times lately. It "freezes" for short periods where the interface stops responding for half a minute, or a minute or so before I can do anything. It always comes back (never crashes, shuts down). Today was some of the worst where it was minutes before I could start using it.

My junk and trash folders are empty, and I've done a compression and run the cleanup operation on a bunch of folders. My Inbox is empty. I only have 2 pop accounts. Its not when its retrieving or sending email though.

A new user, I am elderly and find the script too small in the inbox message list. it is just fine in message content. Can anyone kindly tell me if there is an option to increase the type size, cant seem to find anything in settings, mind you there are so many to get through? My Outlook which I don't care for generally, shows an "easy read". Thank you David

With danish version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit) at Windows 10

In menu I can't find: "mailing liste" for making a new list

Hi,

I updated recently my outlook password and now I can't connect to outlook.office365.com using TB version 115.16.0esr (64-bit) on lubuntu version 20.04. Connection is broken after password update. I have checked server settings they are all good.

I tried to clear TB cache but that didn't help. When I try to get messages from outlook, I am getting blank signing window, on top bar of pop up window it shows Enter credentials... but nothing is visible within signing window, it's all blank

Appreciate any help.

I see THREE address book entries in Thunderbird 128. All Address Books Personal Address Book -my gmail account- Collected Addresses

It is POSSIBLE to create other address books? I WANT one named "Ministry" for specific activity contacts! Is Thunderbird NOT designed to handle this??? I can see that one might want a number of function/activity-specific books to deal with separately.

I have a Gmail account that I use for a volunteer organization that I am leaving. I need to turn over this email address to my successor. I have Thunderbird installed and use that to view my Gmail account. All my messages in Gmail "All Mail" folder have been "archived" or selected as archived. I like to have all my email messages saved to my laptop.

How do I do this?

I was told to create a new profile to resolve performance issues. I did. Now I can't find the settings to get back my single-line message list with column headers. Please help

I'm trying to put TB on a new computer. I can receive email on the new computer, but I can't send. It keeps asking me for a new password. I enter the password and tell it to remember it, but it just keeps asking for the new password. I'm practically certain that I'm entering the right PW.

What can I do to fix this.

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

I have just installed Thunderbird (Windows), and have converted Outlook .PST file to MBOX. I can see the folder-structure in Thunderbird from the .PST file, but Thunderbird say "no messengers" when accessing the result/any folder. I can read the rawdata in the MBOX files with Notebook, and the data is there. Why do not Thunderbird pick up the data? Any setup? I was using "ReliefJet Essentials for Outlook" when converting the .PST file

I have the up to date versions of Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop.

The buttons to check for new messages and compose a new message are visible at the top of the account list on the desktop, but not on the laptop.

I can't see anywhere in the settings on the laptop to show those buttons.

Jag har köpt ny dator och vill flytta alla lokala mappar och kontakter från mitt gamla Thunderbird till mitt nya. Jag har öppnat profilmappen och försökt kopiera in den, men inget händer!?

While in offline mode I composed an email and chose the 'send later' action. I want to revise the email or prevent it from being sent if that's not possible. When I switch to online mode I get a dialog asking if I want to send the emails I chose to 'send later' now or later, but I cannot find a way to permanently prevent a certain email to be sent. How can I solve this?

I described this problem on this forum a couple of hours ago--but I now know any response to help me will come via email--which I cannot access due to the password problem. I was using Thunderbird mail when up pops this pop-up asking for my password. I have never had to use a password to access my emails with thunderbird email. I tried a Yahoo mail password, a mozilla account password, a thunderbird account password--none are wanted. I can't find where to change a password or add a new password.

How can I get some help not sent via email.

I have Comcast as my ISP and my mail comes from Comcast using Thunderbird. I got hacked and bulk messages sent by the Turds. A lock has been put on Outgoing Mail. I went to Comcast and I can SEND through that, but I cannot SEND through Thunderbird. I get this weird error message. See the image below.

HELP!! How do I get Thunderbird's error message fixed so I can send messages.

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to export (or download) the mail subfolders from my email account to my PC. My aim is to be able to access and review them offline.

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to integrate the user's address book (or more specifically the contact details of the current user) into my own (c++) desktop (Windows/MacOS/Linux) application for the user's convenience.

Is this possible at all? If so, where can I start reading to find out how to do this?

(If it's not possible through an API, is the address book file format documented somewhere, so I can read it directly?)

I don't need write access. I just need to be able to read the user's contacts.

Cheers, James

I tried to enter new addresses *.csv via the import function, but I am not getting the desired result. Please provide instructions! The result is in the attachment.

About a month ago I began the process of upgrading from W10 to W11. In the process, several problems happened. One of the problems was with Firefox. After reading and trying many suggestions from the Mozilla site, as well as several other sites, and having no success, I posted my problem on this Mozilla support site and hope that there was someone who could help. There was. After several days of exchanging messages (suggestions, instructions and results - mostly about Profile), Firefox returned.

The other major problem is Thunderbird. I have downloaded a current version (128.5.2esr). I have run it twice and, each time, email was downloaded. So that part seems to be working. What doesn’t appear are the settings I have used and message folders I have created over several years. I suspect that the problems are Profile related.

Starting from Help in the Thunderbird menu, then Troubleshooting Information, then Application Basics, I see Profile Folder. On that line is a button labeled Open Folder followed by (Local Drive). I click Open Folder and File Explorer opens to a folder named ab3xaztm.default-esr. It shows that the folder contains 59 items, including 10 subfolders. All files and folders show a December date.

Following the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\, in addition to ab3x…, there is another folder nlys3gkl.default that contains only 1 file, times.json.

Because of my earlier struggle – and eventual win – with the Firefox problem, I think that the Thunderbird problem might also be fixed in a similar way: Profile.

Slightly before the upgrading from W10 to W11, I made a copy of my Thunderbird folder. I think if I replace the currently active Thunderbird folder with the one I have saved, my Thunderbird problem may be over. However, I’m not certain that will happen and I’m not certain about the specific steps to take to make the replacement. (With my Firefox issue, there were a couple of small important steps I had to take to make it work, and those steps were explained to me by the person who helped me with my Firefox problem. So, after all these words, can someone point me in the direction to solve my Thunderbird problem?

Thanks for reading.
