Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

I can't send e-mail to anyone. When i send out, it won't work and it appear like gray screen (normally, it appear send , copy e-mail and successfully sent)

Please help me to resolve this problem. I have tried every way that I can do.

I've managed to set things up where I can receive email, but I don't seem to be able to send it. None of the help files seem to be pointing me in the right direction and it's getting to be a bit frustrating. Any ideas what I can do - it's only the outgoing server settings that seem to be the problem.

Hello Dear Thunderbird and Lightning Community!

Microsoft is removing their local Outlook calendar from Windows OS at the end of this year, and have already started to remove the direct to accessing it through their regular updates.

As I am looking for a local, reliable Calendar that would be on top of that open source, I found out Lightning as a further add-on/extension to Thunderbird.

Given the general context I have mentioned in the beginning, this is an historical opportunity for the open source community to raise Lightning as a major alternative to Outlook Calendar (and not only Thunderbird globally).

Why not offering Ligthning also, as a pure STANDALONE, local (with online calendar for people who wish it), but at east as a local possibility without NEEDING to instal Thunderbird as a whole?

That would make a lot of sense.

Thank you very much and great Kudos for all your great work!!!

Cheers :)

Hello, I am replacing the Outlook integrated local calendar on Windows 10 with Lightning, given the fact that Microsoft has decided to remove it from their OS.

I just came across two webinars invites that only propose VCS files (and not ics files) for adding the event in my local Lightning calendar.

As this was not working when I clicked on the invite to directly add it to Lightning I made some research and found out that there is the following Add-on for Thunderbird Lightning: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/vcs-support/

However the last update for this add-on is dating back 2011 and the last comment is from 2015...

In terms of security I am not sure that I want to install this add-on and I am not even sure that it is working.

Could the Thunderbird Lightning Developers maybe add the native functionality of accepting these files for setting events in the Lightning calendar?

Thank you very much and great work this community is doing!

I use Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) to read mail from the Outlook server; these are the folder mappings:

imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/INBOX imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Sent imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Drafts imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Trash

I used to also be able to read the Junk Email folder from the Ourlook server the same way, but the folder disappeared from my Thunderbird a couple of months ago. I tried re-adding it as a sub-folder, which is how I created it in the first place, but it won't appear on the list.

I'm not sure what else to do here. I don't know where the Thunderbird directories are stored locally any more, I'm using Ubintu 24.04.

Hi, A few weeks ago, my desktop PC had to be returned to the manufacturer for repair, so I had to move my email to my laptop. I have 9 email accounts (3x yahoo, 3 x Microsoft, 2 x GMX and a Gmail). I used to train adults how to use a computer or laptop (basic training) so had addresses for different providers, so I was familiar with anything they could throw at me! Some don't get a lot of use now, but I like to keep them, for the odd occasion. All the accounts loaded sweetly at the time, some requiring 2FA, but none needing any App Passwords. A week ago My laptop had a catastrophic problem requiring me to restore to factory defaults. Since then, I have been reinstalling all the programs/apps to get it something like it was before the disaster occurred. Obviously, as part of the process, I had to reinstall Thunderbird. However, I have not been able to get any of the accounts to get set up on Thunderbird. The settings are found in the database and passed as okay, but I've been getting messages like: "Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I know the settings are correct because I have double-checked them very carefully, and I also use Bitwarden to ensure the Username and Password are correct. Initially I had wondered whether it was just one account that was a problem, and had tried other (alternative and approved) port and security settings but got a "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account" message. I am puzzled, because about 3 weeks ago everything went in so easily, and I completed all nine accounts one after the other in probably less than half an hour, and now I can't complete any. I'm obviously playing with the idea of trying another email program, but also liked the calendar in Thunderbird. I'll attach some screen prints below. I also use Nord VPN, but for a fortnight it didn't matter whether Nord VPN was on or off, Thunderbird was brilliant. Today I was wondering whether that was having an effect, so I switched on Split Tunnelling, and applied Thunderbird, but it made no difference. So my next thought was whether as part of the Factory reset of the Laptop, not all the registry entries for Thunderbird had been cleared, or that there was some files somewhere that had escaped the purge and Thunderbird was still pointing to them. However, that didn't make sense, because I had Uninstalled Thunderbird with BC Uninstaller and deleted entries found after uninstallation, before I reinstalled it. So what can I do other than find some other email product, which seems unlikely at present! Kind regards.

Since about two weeks the perfomance of Thunderbird is much slowed by regular appearing of the words "Does not react". This can occur at any time - when writing, when opening an attachment... If I wait long enough (sometimes minutes) it functions normal again, but can fall back in the same error at any time. Is this due to the continuous updates of Microsoft? An overworking of an anti-virusprogram? When I check "help" I use the latest and updated version of Thunderbird. Any suggestions?

On MacOS using the OS dark theme selection, and the Mozilla TB neutral (default) System theme, Thunderbird forces all reply message backgrounds to be black. Emails are sent with black text over black background This can only be corrected by turning off the OS theme. (An app theme is supposed to theme the app, not the content.)

So TB is forcing Mac users to use an OS theme not of their choosing or to send unreadable emails.

• MacOS Sonoma 14.1
• Thunderbird 128.2.3esr
• System theme — auto v1.3 (latest)

A very experienced and qualified computer technician has already experimented with all conceivable combinations of authentication options, port numbers and server names, as well as different email clients. The problem still has not been resolved. Michael Hobbs

Is it possible to change the way the current day is displayed in the calendar view? I can never find it since it is just a little blue circle around the date. I would like it to be much more vivid, similar to what it looks like when you click on a specific date. It doesn't look too bad in the screenshot but with all my calendars open I can never find it.

Since upgrading to version 128.3.3esr (Build 20241023091249) on Arch Linux sending messages does not work any more. After clicking the Send button, choosing Send in the toolbar menu, or using <Ctrl>+<Enter>, all buttons and the toolbar menu becomes inactive (greyed out), but the message is not send. The behavior occurs on different mail accounts.

When starting Thunderbird from the terminal the following error occurs: JavaScript error: moz-extension://cd757c35-cc8e-45ec-b1a7-c66dfbe94276/background.js, line 3070: TypeError: action is undefined

Restarting Thunderbird in safe-mode resolves this issue and there is no error message in the terminal.

Deactivating add-ons one by one, as mentioned in [1120568], reveals that CardBook seems to be causing this issue. For this reason, I sent a copy of this question to the add-on support contact.

Hi!

We have email info@dorsum.by on Yandex

We changed the domain owner to the new account.

Before changing we exported all mails from account with zip backup.

Now we created the new info@dorsum.by email.

When I trying to import backuped account old letters dont appear in the new email account. When Imported it shows 18k emails, but we can't scroll down to see them. When relaunch the app only new emails (29) are shown.

How to import letters correct?

Thank you!

Thunderbird is asking for my wife's password, and when I input it, it is not recognised. I can't find how to retrieve her password or change it to a new one. Please help! Thank you. Please reply to david.angus1977@tiscali.co.uk

On startup Thunderbird 128.3.3 esr Nebula shows startup messages screen but no inboxes or messages are visible, it downloads messages but the display panel and mailbox tabs list remain empty. On restart the inbox screen is populated normally with the downloaded messages. This is intermittent and a restart has always cleared the problem so far.

Over the last few weeks, first some personal emails were coming with content that was line after line of letters and numbers and symbols. But could be read properly via webmail. After some Tech Help that but was OK (but font appeared different to usual) however the other emails from businesses (advertising basically) etc appeared either blank, or just not in usual 'attractive' format with pictures and text. There was minimal text interspersed with lots of info in blue starting with htpps// The same Tech Help people were unable to sort it and said to contact service provider.

When I first open Thunderbird 128.3.3esr, the Status Bar shows messages detailing the progress of querying email servers and of downloading messages. After a while, however, the progress text messages stop appearing in the Status Bar. Email messages download properly; there's just no text message in Status Bar showing progress. When this happens, the Online/Offline button also has disappeared. The blue bar on the right side of the Status Bar still shows up whenever a server is being queried. Is this a problem on my machine alone or with the program?

Hi. This is going to be a strange question for you. Someone in my family (inexperienced with computers), pasted daily PNG screengrabs into a draft for a month, hoping to email it to somebody. They didn’t understand it would create a massive 300mb draft that could not be sent. The screengrabs can’t be taken again, so this is the only place they’re saved.

So I thought I would simply save out the draft as an HTML file, which has the images embedded. However, the HTML file only shows the images up to a point (only shows 10 out of 30), after which it’s just blank white space. That’s because there’s a little yellow banner at the bottom of the draft with an Options button saying the images have been locked, and I need to unlock them in order to include them in the draft. When I do that for all 20 images, however, they don’t appear in the email body, so even if I save out an HTML file after that, it still only shows a blank space. I thought maybe hitting F5 to refresh the screen would do it, but it doesn’t. Nor does trying to forward the draft as a new draft (still blank space). Maybe you now of a way to refresh the draft view?

When I unlocked all the images, I could see some of the path, which looked like they were saved inside the Draft mailbox file (I could even see the PNG extension for each image). So I was thinking, maybe there’s a way to access the files inside the mailbox in order to extract the PNGs but unfortunately I couldn’t find one.

So if you have any suggestions for my predicament, I would be grateful. - Alan

Hello, I just downloaded the Thunderbird email client and am trying to add my gmail accounts, but it won't accept them and says it is unable to log in at server. The gmail pop-up should happen to allow access, but no pop-up happens. I have followed the instructions per your guidelines (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20), enabled cookies and added exceptions, but have had no success. Please help.
