My colleague, like me has been using Thunderbird for years, thank you. He has just purchased a new printer (Epson 2200) and he can no longer print any emails. Clicking on print brings up the box with 'Save to pdf' the ony option. We have gone into Troubleshooting Information and the printer appears in the print_printer line. We have also tried clearing the 'Clear saved print settings'. After we restart TB, no change, still unable to print with 'save to pdf' the only option. We have removed and reistalled the printer, which will print anything else outside of TB.

TB is up to date with the Nebula version. Windows 11 on new Acer Laptop.

Can you help?

Thank you

Hi, I am closing down an old email address because they are now charging me for it. I was advised to use Thunderbird so I signed up and am now receiving emails to thunderbird from my xtra.co.nz email address. However, it hasn't brought over my saved folders from my xtra.co.nz app. Someone suggested I need to change to imap, but do not know where to find this and not sure if I do it in Thunderbird or the xtra mail app or both. Looking for instructions on on how I can bring my existing folders from my xtra.co.nz mail into Thunderbird?

I have about a dozen accounts set up on my laptop. I want to have the same accounts on this desktop system. I am loathe to do so by using the standard Tools > Account Setup process because every time I have done so in the past several months, I've had validation problems with the email servers at the ISPs. I've had to change every password to create baseline values before TB could add them even though I had valid passwords copied from a password vault program.

Is there a way to just copy or transfer the data from the laptop to this desktop? I have a couple of the accounts set up here but would like to bring the others over without having to go through the setup steps.

Using Thunderbird 128.1.0.esr (64 bit)

I have an IMAP account. Under Settings_Copies & Folders I have the option 'Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to' checked.

After sending a message Thunderbird can't save it to that locvation. I get the option to save to a local folder.

Subsequently I then try to move or copy the email to my desired IMAP folder. This fails with no error message - the email stays in the Local Folder.

How can I resolve this?

Yahoo Acnt. #1 messages being duplicated in Yahoo Acnt. #2 in Thunderbird ONLY

I have tested, and tested and tested. Checked settings EVERYWHERE. Delete and removed, reinstalled, etc. etc. etc.

Additionally, Thunderbird will NOT retrieve inbox messages from YAHOO for account #2

I have DETAILED (including screen captures) the conditions in a document and made it available here.

NEED SOMEONE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT TO SOLVE THIS ONE !

Debugging message filters and want to see the log. From message filters window I click box "Filter Log". It brings up the small config box of which a pic is attached. I can't find anyway to actually see or access the log. It must be hiding here somewhere ? ?

I have tried to clear the log so it is small in case it is large and takes long to load as I've seen elsewhere. No change.

I try to look this the "Activity Manage" which has some log like error messages but it is a mess of unordered seemingly random successes and some failures. This is another topic.

So, any guidance on how to use the filter log would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to connect to Suddenlink.net via Optimum.net. It does show up on Optimum.net account on web page. I have a screen shot of the constant results of my days of efforts. I have two other connections via gmail.com and it works fine. I have people who are still using Suddenlink emails to me and I would like to see them on Thunderbird. Thanks for the fine software and any help with this. //... Joe

How do I eliminate that every outgoing e-mail has this kind of text added at the bottom (this is just a sample of many more lines)?: -- PK?????! $���?�????[Content_Types].xml �??(�?��MO�@?��&�?�W?�z0Ɣ����M��.C��~dg���?JK���Z���2���?3��J��?<*kR�Oz,?#m��,e�����E?��Di �l �F�ˋ�t�#�6��"?w�9�?���:0t�[�E�[?�N�?1?~���piM?�Pi���?r1/C4^���C�,��_��R&�+�?�H��d�\�CB��w�P?�?��V������*�h"|x?�0����gV�5��?�i�y�$4����V?"e�ˤ9�B�?�A??�?��)j�?��T(�y?�>vw??�餶ث�v�?(�SL���qW�U�DX��˿Q�w��4?S�^� ��0�F�?"м?�\�gsld�Y�dL�uH�����݂��c?9?>(hVDۈ5��{��?��A���7�t� ��?PK?????!?�?��N????_rels/.rels �??(�?���J?A?��?�a�}7� "���H�w"�?���?w?̤ھ�� �P�^����O֛���;�<?�aYՠ؛`G�kxm��?PY�[��g Gΰino�/<���<�1��ⳆA$>"f3��\�ȾT��?I S���?�������W?����Y ig�@��X6_�?]7?~ f��ˉ?�?ao�.b*lI�r�j)�,?l0�%��b�

In every text editor I've ever used for the last 25 years, typing a number and then a period will automatically turn on paragraph numbering. Or typing a * or - at the start of a line will create a bulleted list. How can I have this behaviour with Thunderbird?

Currently my only solution is to use the mouse and toolbar, which really slows down writing an e-mail. I also looked for keyboard shortcuts, but couldn't find any.

Thanks,

Robert

Nyc.rr.com cannot send email I can receive email. Everything seems to be set correctly as you can see in the screenshot. Please help. This is a new pc that I am trying to setup. Thank You

I have been trying to send emails but I'm unable to, when ever I try sending an email I get this message "Sending of the message failed: The message could not be sent because connecting to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."

Is there anyway this can be fixed? If so it would be a lot of help. Thank you.

The latest rev is VERY slow (several seconds) compared to prior revs to process email changes within INBOX (OPEN, MOVE, DELETE, etc.)

Something new is going on internally to the program while the hour-glass appears for a few seconds more than before (I did not change any settings w/ latest upgrades).

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for years and have always had this issue, but it seems more prevalent now. It's getting a bit annoying so I'm looking for a solution. I've googled it, there are plenty of references to difficulties with formatting "as sent" not being "as received", but in this case I'm talking about a formatting issue that happens immediately in Thunderbird, has nothing to do with the receiving system.

Here's the deal...

I routinely send out batches of emails that use a specific template for formatting. I need to use HTML format because I often highlight and underline things that I've found if I don't will not be seen. To avoid much back and forth from people who did not read the email properly, I want to bold face and underline some key things.

The first example here is "what it looks like before I click Send". It shows proper paragraph structure, normal blank lines between each paragraph, etc.

The second image is what it looks like "after I click Send". It looks like this even in the "outbox" (if I'm sending later) and it hasn't even yet gone out. Appearance is identical in the sent items, and I've had recipients respond to me by replying to the original email and can see they received it formatted as in the screen shot.

Usually it either adds line breaks where none exist, or removes line breaks, merging two paragraphs together.

I've tried composing in an external editor that allows me to see non-printing characters and making sure there is just a single line break between paragraphs (and that line break is THERE), then pasting into Thunderbird. That seems to help, but if I then save that as a template and re-use it in the future, more and more weirdness creeps into it as I bring it up, change some of the verbiage to reflect the current case, and send.

What is going on here, how do I fix this? I've used Outlook for decades, have done similar things with it and have never had this issue. There's nothing "different" I'm doing when composing these - type type type, carriage return, type type type.... Perfectly normal stuff.

Is there a setting somewhere that either prevents this from happening or at least allows me to see non-printable characters so I can recognize them and fix that before it is sent?

Thanks,

Todd

On previous versions I had Next and Previous buttons which were very handy for scrolling through lists of email. Is there a way I can add them to the current Thunderbird? Thanks.

Mircosoft has indicated that after Sept. 16 it is not possible to access my e mail account on outlook. They require a more modern/sophisticated method of authorization, login and password is not enough. What to do?

Text (in Swedish) from the e-mail that I received from outlook@communication.outlook.com:

Det här måste du göra

Om du får det här e-postmeddelandet använder du för närvarande en e-post- eller kalenderapp som ansluter till ditt Outlook.com-e-postkonto genom en mindre säker autentiseringsmetod. Du måste uppgradera din e-post- och kalenderapp från tredje part till en version som stöder moderna autentiseringsmetoder.

I have got many thousands of emails. From time to time my inbox gets full enough for a warning sign to come up - so I have a clean up by deleting and/or saving to a folder within "local folders" and I regularly clean out my deleted folders and recompact.

However in the last few days I have been getting a warning tab come up saying "75% full" fairly randomly - in other words it seems to be independent of whatever folder is active at the time.

Does Thunderbird have a maximum capacity including all local folders? There are many emails (including attachments, of course) which I do not want to delete whether for archive or for nostalgic reasons.

If there is a maximum overall capacity is there any way of "exporting" folders of emails with their attachments to free up space for the program but leaving me able to invoke these emails should the need or occasion arise?

I need Thunderbird to keep upper-case letters at the beginning of sentences when I do this. I also need my name to keep the first letter upper-case. Show me how to do this, please.

Hi,

I recently came across the Thunderbird versions are being mentioned as "esr".

In 115.0 version, I see "esr" is added from the 115.10.2esr to 115.14.0esr, the latest version. I also do not see any change in the installers provided. I would like to understand what is the difference between the previous versions and the versions with "esr"?

In 128.0 version, I can see only 128.0.1esr and 128.1.0esr. Is there no normal updates? Now only esr is supproted?

I had version 115.0 installed but I was able to upgrade to 128.1.0esr without any issue. Is this supported?
