Hi. I have an email purporting to be from Microsoft telling me that I will have access problems with Thunderbird from September onwards. Something to do with authentification. Assuming it is genuine (is it?) I have no idea what to do. It gives 'instructions' which are incomprehensible to me. I dont even know why this link is to Mozilla rather than thunderbird. I don't want to loose Thunderbird's calendar or stored files let alone the ease of access I currently enjoy. I need someone kind and patient to tell this novice how to move forward in a pedantic, non-terminology way who is happy to assume I know nothing! Please help! Brian

In the latest automatic update of Thunderbird to version 128.0 messages keep the headline in boldface even after being read, which didn't happen in previous versions. I wonder if there's a possibility of roll-back this change or customize it in settings?

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

When tbird opens the inbox, or after I have deleted an email - it opens the 'current' email. I would like to set it up so that it does not open the email ... until I take some action that would cause that. Specifically, I want the ability to delete or mark as spam ... before the email has ever been opened.

 Is this possible?  What area of the settings do I need to check?

Bonjour, Ma messagerie thunderbird affiche 3 boites différentes ! C'est à dire 3 profils différents ! Comment faire pour qu'il ne reste qu'une boite , Merci.

I am looking for an add-on or other method to allow one to compose/format text in TB Version 115.12.2 (64-bit) with Microsoft Word or other like word processor text alignment formatting feature such as left and right alignment, justify and most importantly FORCE JUSTIFY text to allow the creation of properly centered email.

I had my email address installed for many years. Recently it could no longer download messages into Thunderbird. I got an error message. I removed the email address and tried to reinstall it. I keep getting "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." (All are correct) I am able to log into the web page and see my emails but I can't download them into Thunderbird like I use to do for several decades. HELP It is a Yahoo email address but is @bellsouth.net Please respond to ronseg@gmail.com. Thanks

When a mail group is created and a recipient has an alternate (non-default) email address which is used for purposes of the list, once the list is saved, the entry for the recipient changes to the default address rather than the chosen alternate address. For example, if an individual has both a home and work address with the work address as the default, how can a list which needs the home address be forced to retain the home address rather than reverting to the default work address when the list is saved?

As of Sunday, Thunderbird can no longer reach my ATT server to download email. It has behaved for ten to fifteen years. Last time someone at ATT fixed it. I have been on the phone or on screen with ATT most of my waking hours since Sunday. (In the process I lost my internet, my landline, my cell connection, etc.) Everything is restored except the connection between Thunderbird and ATT. Everyone thinks changing my password will do it. Done it four times. It gets me into the ATT mail. I have replaced the password in Thunderbird settings with it to no avail. Is there anything you can think of? Not only is Thunderbird more attractive than ATT, I have thirty years of mail boxes there, a continuation from Eudora. I will appreciate your wisdom.

Can you please explain/investigate/rectify the fact that everything has disappeared from all the Thunderbird folders (In, Draft, Sent etc) on my laptop. I am jenny @davidbrownsundials.com and if I was not able to use my husband (david@davidbrownsundials.com),s laptop and the gmail account I use on my mobile, I would be totally stuck. I can write emails but no evidence remains. The best I get is a quick flash then everything disappears again. Help! I would be very grateful if this massive problem can be solved. Thank you Jenny Brown

Hi, I've been searching for an answer to this that actually works for me, to no avail.

I'm using the 115.12.2 (64-bit) version.

What I want to do is move my current profile, in /home/nunovski2001/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/emzi01vt.default/ to /media/nunovski2001/GST/emzi01vt.default/. I've done it before, I just can't remember how.

I have two different university accounts (one as a student and one as an adjunct). These accounts have the university domain, but they are through Gmail. Last year the university also instituted Microsoft single-sign-on for all emails.

Single-sign-on has the well-known, apparently unsolved, and extremely annoying problem that it makes it impossible to be signed into multiple single-sign-on accounts on the same browser at the same time. The solution to this problem so far is to use a private tab, or the Firefox "multiple containers" add-on, and separate one of the accounts into it's own container.

Thunderbird seems to have the same problem. I cannot connect to both accounts at the same time. The second one will not even open the popup to give credentials, and will always claim invalid authentication.

Is there some workaround similar to the Firefox browser workaround mentioned above?

I have iinet.net.au as my email server. They changed to themessagingco.com.au. Initially there were no problems and I could receive messages and send then after June 3 I could do neither. I contacted iinet and themessagingco. for assistance. I spent heaps of time with themessagingco changing settings for incoming and out going mail but am still unable to send or receive on Thunderbird. Help required, as I want to continue using Thunderbird. I am able to receive and send through webmail for themessagingco but really want to use Thunderbird. Is there something on Thunderbird that needs changing? Helen

So, I had to delete my wife's email account (and I know people cringe when that's done), because no matter what, I could not get in with any password and Thunderbird was acting strange in general. I created a new account but no matter what it will not take any password I put in. It just continues to circle and goes no where! How do I create this account easily, as I have done in the past, and what do I do about Thunderbird not accepting ANY passwords? As I said.....no matter what I put in, the the password section it doesn't take. Its like this: Name: Email address: Password: Once I put in whatever password I'm using it just continues to spin (or think) and goes no where. Can someone please help me here? I would so appreciate it. I'm not a computer dummy, but Thunderbird is sure making me feel like one!! Thank you in advance!
