Thunderbird Community Forum

I am new to TB and just getting used to the settings coming from Outlook. I assume that when a message is delete in the inbox the next message can be displayed in the viewing pane. This is not happening for me. I have tried: Not having messages Threaded. Setting: mail.advance_on_delete mail.delete_matches_sort_order mail.advance_on_spacebar All to True. No joy so far!

What am I missing?

My first email was Hotmail n 1995.

Microsoft bought it a long while ago and made it a domain under their Outlook.

Now they are preventing any other app from downloading folders or emails from it, so I need to keep the emails that successfully made it into Tbird folders BUT avoid Tbird from ever trying to connect with it ever again (it hangs the whole app). They want users to be fully captured by their apps, and thereby to receive all fees and subscriptions, but they are careless and manipulative — arbitrarily blocking paid subscriptions, replacing preferred news source with their own, etc. — so I'm not going to sign up for anything not absolutely necessary (i.e. — for now — Word).

I am seeking guidance as to how to create just that situation. I did it 7..5 years ago when I retired, since the college where I taught immediately closed my email account there, but I can not figure out how to do it now.

Thanks in advance.

I have had a Chromebook for about four months and I installed Thunderbird using Linux and it worked really well then I started having issues. I started composing an email the decided to cancel it by clicking on the cross on the top right of the email normally a box would open giving three options but all I get is a small white banner with a cross ! I then had to press enter to close the email I didn't want. I reinstalled Thunderbird and installed my old PostOffice/TalkTalk email with no issues but I can't install my Hotmail email and when I keep being told my details are wrong but they are not. Is this because the 0Auth2 verification ! I am a technophobe so don't have a clue what to do. Is the 0Auth2 provided by Microsoft ( My Hotmail ) or is this something to do with Thunderbird I have tried to find answers but have just been going around in circles. Can you point me in the right direction or should I just give up on Thunderbird !

Thanks for your time.

Since the latest Thunderbird update (128.4.2esr (64-bit)) in Ubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Wayland), it no longer responds to hovering over *any* boundary of any pane. I've restarted Thunderbird, and I've rebooted the machine, but to no avail. Panes can't be resized -- not horizontally, and not vertically.

It could be that the zone for resizing has been reduced to less than a pixel and that my low-res mouse in my aging hand just isn't precise enough to grab an edge. Is there an option somewhere to display easy-to-grab (and easy-to-see) handles on pane boundaries for those of us with old eyes, unsteady hands and crappy non-gamer mice?

At the very least, I need a clear cursor change when "in the zone" for grabbing and dragging, otherwise I'm liable to grab an email message and drag it instead (with potential data loss).

Thanks

Suddenly, possibly due to an update but unsure (started on 6th November), my emails no longer sent in Thunderbird due to the above message. I am still receiving emails in Thunderbird. I have checked all of this with plusnet and as I can send and receive without problems in webmail, this is being seen as not a plusnet issue. In terms of trying to resolve, I have tried adding my password in to the box, have tried checking all of my smtp settings against those advised to no avail. Has something changed... There seems to be many similar threads but not sure if mine is the same so creating a new thread.

Seeking knowledge if possible, on how to import email sub-folder contents from another email provider (in this case, 'The Messaging Company') into Thunderbird. The "Import Tool" in Thunderbird appears limited to only a few sources that it can import from, however I'm unsure if there is another way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My display of Thunderbird is overrsized in width, probably not significantly but enough that I am missing text. Normally this is not a major concern but I was checking out a rule applied to incoming mail and could see features to the right. I am using W11 operating system on an HP Spectre.

I checked the Config Editor in settings and "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" is not bold and is set at -1. How can reduced the width of the display?

Thunderbird issue:

System: Two computers running Linux Mint 21.3 - Google Chrome is the default browser.

Both running Thunderbird 115

Both have the same two accounts set up  : Pop3 – gmail.com

Both accounts were announcing ‘You Have Mail” using custom WAV file.

Both accounts are set for manual downloads.

I stay up to date on all updates for system as well as TB

Issue:

All worked A-O.K. until a month ago when one (primary account on one computer stopped announcing “You Have Mail”. The other account (secondary) as well as both accounts on the other computer still function normally, i.e. the wav file is functional.

I have tried everything that I can think of to address the issue but have been coming up empty handed.

I haven’t messed with the css files but have change paths to the file, used a different wav file. Tried oga, mp3, etc. all with no fix. I’ve changed themes and checked other add-ons. Still no fix.

I could live without it but I’m one that likes to have everything working!

Is it in my profile or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm using macOS 15.0.1 and Thunderbird 128.4.2esr (64-bit). I want to export my settings to the mobile version of Thunderbird using the QR code. However, when I select "Export for Mobile," I don't see any accounts available for export, and both buttons are grayed out. I have five IMAP accounts set up.

Hello,

I face an issue with calendar invitations. I have a bunch of calendars, all CalDAV, for different purposes. Now when I recieve an invite, to one of my email adresses, the invitation ends up in the wrong calendar.

There are some other questions related to this problem around, but they all seem to be solved by setting the correct E-mail adress in the calendar setting which does not work in my case. Infact I changed the email adress of the wrong calendar to "none" and another calendar is linked to the correct e-mail. I already resarted Thunderbird, to check if that makes a difference.

Further, I would in general like to have the option to switch invited appointments from one to another calendar sometimes. As said I use several different calendars an sometimes invites come in from one e-mail adress taht would fit better to a different calendar. Is there a way to do that? For what I see now there is now way to assign an invited appointment manually to a different calendar.

Thanks for your help,

Running Thunderbird 128.4, working good, quite happy with the Calendar feature.

When printing a monthly calendar, the output includes the previous and following month dates, events, and tasks in the printout. If the first of the month falls on a Saturday, then the preceding days Sunday-Friday are from the previous month, and they are shown and printed in the output. Likewise at the end of the month.

Is it possible to change a setting so that these cells are blanked or greyed out in some manner when printing? Or is there some add-on that further lets you tweak calendar options?

Thanks in advance.

The recent update to Thunderbird for Linux (128.4.0esr) has added a mini-preview to my email messages in the email list and I cannot find where to turn that back off. I just want to see the basic message and I can now only see far less as many messages in my message list as I could just before this update was applied. I just want to know where to turn it off as I cannot find it.
