I usually display the items ordered by the date they arrived. I changed it to 'From' but now it will not change back. I select 'Date' and the 'sort by' line flashes but nothing is affected. reselecting 'Sort by' shows 'From' is still selected. How can I get out of this situation, please? Am I doing something wrong? It has worked in the past. John

I use Thunderbird. Whenever I create a new folder in the email account I have set up in Quaker Meetings Network (QMN), url https://quaker.app, it is appears as a sub-folder of Inbox, but I want it to be a folder at the top level of the email account. I can do this with the other email accounts I administer with Thunderbird, in gmail.com and phonecoop.coop. Why can't I do this with a QMN email account? QMN say this is an issue with Thunderbird -- they are able to create "top level" folders on other email software such as Outlook

Dear all,

While writing a new message with TB 128.5.0esr (64 bits), under windows11, the action "Insert Web link" make the TB windows freezing, and there is no way to close it out of killing TB process in the task manager.

The only way for now to send an email containing an hyperlink is to start TB in Safe Mode .

Is somenone has an idea for that issue as the functionnalitie was well working in previous TB versions .?

Hello, here’s the problem: I had / have 3 GMX mailboxes in Thunderbird on my PC. After I installed Thunderbird Mobile and spent several hours with it, I deleted all the mailboxes to import them again. Apparently, this also deleted all the mailboxes on GMX, as they are no longer visible there. I also can’t create new ones there, as the old ones seem to still be somewhere in the Background. In Thunderbird Mobile, I restored the mailboxes via import, but they are completely empty! Thunderbird Mobile has no connection to GMX. What can I do? I go to bed...

I have an issue where, from one day to the next, one of my employees lost the "open thread in a new tab" option. This option was available when right-clicking on a message and then selecting "open/open thread in a new tab." The option no longer works in the "inbox" folder, but it does still work in individual subfolders.

Hi, I have started to use Thunderbird Mobile (Android) and it looks great. One thing I miss (or can't find) is the print option. I have it in my other apps and it works perfectly in my other apps. I can find a share option but there is no print option in that one. Am I missing something or is it just not a print option in Thunderbird Mobile yet?

Error message when trying to send a message: Sending of the message has failed. Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognised. The configuration related to smtp.message.com must be corrected. When you click on OK, it brings up another lengthy description of licenses etc.. but no result. I'm trying to send a picture but I'm not sure how. In-any case, i'm sending this for my Wife's account: erika-b@netspace.net.au

We had a long-standing conversation with The Messenger Company, but the were unable to solve the  problem.

After Thunderbird just updated to Version 128.5.0esr today, now all my accounts are saying that the connection is refused. This is coming from three different email services that I have accounts on. I'm assuming it's not an issue with those servers as I can access them just fine with a different email client, and I didn't change any settings. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't. Only thing that seems to have changed is Thunderbird got updated.

Some email bodies shown as groups of ASCII characters separated by /

Some emails show a message body that's nothing but / separated groups of ASCII characters, as for example "FJ/OHS/U7R/R3A/NT4/R03/0QY/T1N/VRC/WJ3/J6E/YXK/I6K/WNA..." cont… (read more)

Some emails show a message body that's nothing but / separated groups of ASCII characters, as for example "FJ/OHS/U7R/R3A/NT4/R03/0QY/T1N/VRC/WJ3/J6E/YXK/I6K/WNA..." continued for several pages. These are generally (but I think not always) obvious spam - that one has subject "Try Semaglutide and join the millions of women losing weight fast." But not all obvious spam is shown that way.

Is this something that Thunderbird is doing, or is the gibberish the actual message? I've only bee using Thunderbird for a few months, and don't recall seeing anything like it with my previous email program (Opera). I'm using version 115.7.0 (64-bit) on OpenSUSE Linux.

I am receiving the following error message when downloading messages from AOL to Thunderbird. "The DELE command did not succeed. Error marking a message as deleted. Mail server pop.aol.com responded: Too many requests." Please could anyone help me download my messages? I have been away for a month, I have a lot of messages to download. Could that be causing the problem?
