After a Windows reset where I lost all the settings and I'm trying to return to my previous set up. My brain is scrambled and I need help with the following,

Thunderbird fix notes.

Set email links to open in Firefox they open in Edge

Default print size in Thunderbird is very small and it’s tedious changing it every time I use it. I want a permanent fix.

When I write and send an email the message stays on screen and does not close when sent.

The address book is missing. I have a .csv file of the addresses but I don’t know how to upload them.

When I download a document it opens in FF but the download FILE DOES NOT DOWNLOAD TO THE DOWNLOAD FOLDER .

I have set up all my email accounts and am receiving new messages . That's about the only thing that is working. I lost all my passwords and it took some time to set them up again.

Please help!

On the tasks pane, when I deleted a task, I clicked don't ask me again and I don't know how to undo that. I'd like to have it ask me before deleting tasks.

I find old articles that tell people to go to settings>general>config but I can find no config on the general tab in settings. Then again those answers were from 4 years ago.

Any ideas how to make it ask if I'm sure if I want to delete again?

When setting up for authorization in sending email from Windows Live account, the Oauth2 option (as seen in the guide) is not available to select ? See Picture

For the last few version upgrades, my deleted mail is not appearing in the "Deleted" folders. I tried the solution of deleting the smart mailboxes folder, which didn't work. All of my "Deleted" folders for various mail accounts are unified. My version is 128.2.3esr (32-bit).

I am having problems setting up an email account in TB. I already have ONE gmail account setup and it's currently sending/receiving fine. However, when attempting to setup my 2nd acct, I'm getting: 400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I can't for the life of me figure this out despite comparing both accounts' SERVER SETTINGS repeatedly.

Email is not loading in, when I've had the same email for years, being imported from another email host. What is the SMTP server name that should be used in my settings?

Hey there nerds,

So for a couple of days now, I dont know what happened, but I stopped getting the popup notifications of new emails from Thunderbird itself.

I didn't change any settings what so ever nor have I touched my Windows notifications settings as they've always worked before.

As you can see, per attachment, my notifications settings in Thunderbird are correctly set up. However I do not see where to enable the popups anywhere.

I had them working before flawlessly and now, for 2 days now, they dont work what so ever.

Care to give this user a hand? Maybe two?

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

Hi,

When I create an event in Thunderbird Agenda, I add a description and I send the event to attendees. These attendees receive the invitation to the event, but the description is not showing.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Hi,

I use the latest Thunderbird email client 128.2.2esr (64-bit). Microsoft announced that to make it work with outlook all users have to make changes in settings for more security. I did all that they wrote and can receive emails on my .......@outlook.com email address, but I can't send emails due to absence of authentication setting for outgoing server. I attached screenshots FYI. Is it possible to fix this issue? It's required to add authentication setting for outgoing server.

Regards, Leonid.

Hi. Is there a way to add travel time to an appointment just like you can do in google or apple calendar? It’s a great feature. When I add an adres to my appointment Apple calendar will automatically add the travel time by car from my home to the destination. I miss that feature in Thunderbird.

G'day from 'Straya!

I have migrated Thunderbird from one Windows laptop to another, copying the profile and all included files. This mostly worked but has created a couple of issues I am trying to troubleshoot and could really use some help.

First thing probably worth noting is that I had an earlier version of Thunderbird on the old laptop than the new one downloaded to the new laptop. I don't that if that is the problem.

I have two email accounts which are both using IMAP. When I delete an email in Thunderbird, it keeps coming back and I now have multiple copies of that email. My storage is filling up 😒 Is there a setting I am missing?

Additionally, the migration does not seem to have brought over my contacts. Did I miss something?

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
