Dear all, Regardless of the theme in Thunderbird I choose, whenever I open a message the background color of the messages is light yellow, what is quite awful and often prevents some message from been read because of the lack of contrast.

I can't find a way to change that. Is there a way to change that, for instance by editing the contents of the XPI of the theme I use?

What should be the CSS code used for that?

 thanks a ton for you attention!,

Hi. I'm having problems with reinstating my profile files after inadvertently letting a software update programme update Thunderbird, leaving me with a blank Thunderbird, i.e no accounts etc. I've tried copying the Profile folder from a backup of 2-3 days ago, but it insists on loading a different profile to the one i want (gasu8cec-default-release). How do I make it load the profile I want?

Up to version 132b1, account retrieval worked. Since Version 132b2 (b3, b4, b5, b6, 133b1) following fault:

The setting is ‘Only download header data when starting TB’

Since 132b2 the following message and click link is missing: "Download the rest of the message"

Hi to all,

I send messages over php with a link, for example:

Koordinaten: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=49.7997283719618&mlon=7.796087265014649&zoom=15&layers=M" title="Kartenübersicht im Browser öffnen">49.7997283719618, 7.796087265014649</a></p>

When I copy the source code the link is correct. When I copy the whole html mail source code in a blank page and save it as .html, the link is correct, too. It works and the code generator (notepad++) shows no error.

But:

In the Mail Preview an -view the link is shorten to: ttps://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=49.7997283719618&mlon=7.796087265014649&zoom=15&layers=M The first h is gone. Any idea, how this could happen?!

I used to be able to copy a Table from a Word document and past it into a Thunderbird email and maintain the formatting. Between 1 Nov and 2 Nov I can no longer do this. When I copy and paste the formatting is lost. Can you help please? Thank you.

I would like to turn the Thunderbird Spam Filter totally off. It marks legit mails with *** Spam *** and is just annoying.

I followed all instructions in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages

I unchecked 'Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account' in all accounts.

AND STILL: Why is the junk filter active?

I would like to raise a bug report for this.

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 have not changed my email accounts or my Google & Microsoft usernames or passwords. A few days ago when I started Thunderbird, two Google pop-ups arrive reading "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" demanding that I deny or allow it. Why might this be happening and how do I stop it? This does not occur with other email apps such as Outlook for Windows.

I am unable to send emails. My internet provider tells me that it is Thunderbird. I receive a send message error when trying to send and something about the outgoing server.

I have contacted my Internet provider and they are unable to get my thunderbird to work can you help me get it working I have it installed on an old computer and it works fine this is a new computer I have AVG and a AVG VPN if this helps we went through all the POP and smtp setting but it still wont work, and I get an error message attachment of Screen shot thank Jenny

I am trying to create a Primary Password but getting message: "Unable to change Primary Password" Using Thunderbird Version 128.4.1esr | Released November 4, 2024 under Windows 11.

After scanning documents from Epson printer and using the send-to email function I am not receiving the email with attachment. I have also tried switching from Epson WiFi back to home WIFI and I still don't receive them

I have also tried scanning from a HP printer and sending to my email but have not received it

Hi,

 My Tbird email has been hacked.  Not suspected but proven.  I have changed the root

email account password - logged in to Tbird and did an attempt to Get Email and it asked me for the password. I provided it and it seemed to work and the password -seemed- to get saved.

 But when I went back in a little later - Tbird asked for the password again.  I did NOT

provide it this time but used a direct browser based email process - that works with the new password. So password confirmed.

 Very concerned about Tbird not saving the new password and re-using it.  Is it  

possible that Tbird itself has been hacked? A virus scan of the entire computer did not show any problems (Norton).

                                                                     - Ideas?   Jim in the PNW

On installing Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 computer, restore of backed up Profile did NOT restore my calendar. The calendar file is definitely in my Profile backup and it is over 1000 kb but nothing I have tried will import this local.sqlite file. I cannot find any other software that will import this file. Help. Thank you.
