I changed computers and in order to make sure I could use TB on the new one, I updated the old computer from 120-something to 128.5.2, and then installed 128.5.2 on the new one as well. The transfer went okay - once I saw the video that explains how to do it - but when I sat down to write a R-T-L email, it didn't not automatically R-T-L, and when I tried to click on the switch-direction button I was used to in the old TB, it wasn't there! I can write in Hebrew, (or Arabic), but I can't R-T-L the text. HELP? HELP! Thank you

Am a long time user of Thunderbird and I received error msg: "Unable to write to the mail box, make sure the file system allows you write priviliges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mail box." I can't figure out how to do this. I finally deleted my account and reinstalled Thunderbird and continue to receive this error message. I can't receive and new message on my computer and using gmail on my phone. my email is rstoma@astound.net. Thanking anyone in advance

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am experiencing a significant slowdown in email synchronization in Thunderbird. Emails take a noticeably long time to appear after clicking, and the overall syncing process is extremely slow across all folders.

The problem began on Friday, December 6th, following my use of the "Repair" button on the Inbox (8.9GB) and Sent (10.7GB) folders. After initiating the repair for the Sent folder, synchronization across all folders (Inbox, Sent, Spam, etc.) slowed down considerably.

Already done: Checked "All Mail" on Google IMAP: The folder does not appear in IMAP. Troubleshoot Mode: Attempted, but it did not resolve the issue. Reinstalled Thunderbird: Uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird on my Mac, but the problem persists.

The issue seems isolated to Thunderbird and does not impact my Mac’s overall performance, memory usage, or speed. The synchronization delay affects only Thunderbird, while other applications function normally. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue and restore normal synchronization performance.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Ubuntu 24.04 NOT snap. Thunder bird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

Mail Merge Create and Save or Send Multiple Individual and Personalized Messages from a Draft Mail Merge 10.5.0 is fully compatible with Thunderbird 115 and Thunderbird 128.

Hallo,

kann ich meinen Mailkonten auch Icons zuordnen? Das wurde nach der Designumstellung rausgenommen. Nun ist es problematisch mehrere Mailkonten zuzuordnen.

Schade, dass das alte zwischenzeitlich schöne und moderne Design von K9 in eine unübersichtliche Outlook-Kopie umgewandelt wurde. Weiß jemand warum das sein musste?

Hallo, Unterordner werden leider nicht mehr automatisch synchronisiert. Bei K9 hat es funktioniert. Wurde es tatsächlich abgeschaltet oder kann ich es konfigurieren?

I run Thunderbird, Thunderbird ESR, K-9 or Thunderbird. Windows 7, 10 and 11, Linux and Android 5.1 and 12.

My desktops all have a gmail and yahoo.co.uk email addresses. Each account is linked to there respective contacts server but all my contacts are in one gmail account which has lost most of the contacts in recent months, that is, only the contacts that I have used recently are still present. So I have been investigating the settings and adjusting in some cases.

Some instances all the account are still linked to the contacts servers. Other cases only some of the accounts are still linked and I want to re-establish the other accounts that have become local accounts, these still have my full complete address book.

Lastly between K9, thunderbird, contacts google I don't know what went wrong but I like advice on how to avoid the problem in future. In the meantime seasons greatings, no hurry my christmas messages will have to wait.

I setup my account it worked well, I changed my office365 password. I was prompted to login with Oauth2, and it worked. However, I can receive emails, but cannot send emails. I get a notice that my password is wrong when I come to send emails. It just happens because of the password change. No matter what I do I cannot find where the Oauth was saved for smtp. There seems to be a desync, where the password updated for the Incoming server, but never lets me or updates the Oauth for the smtp server. Any thoughts?

Deleting saved passwords, just gets me to do Oauth2 for the incoming, it never takes effect on the smtp server.

Many times when I am forwarding emails or copying and pasting text from an outside source, the spell check will choose a word like "isn't" and highlight "isn" as a misspelled word. This has happened with a number of different contractions.

Additionally, it will pick parts of an abbreviated name in someone's email address in the To: field as a mistake. I do not have the time or desire to constantly, go through a long email and choose 'add to dictionary' or click ignore. Why is it even looking at parts of a contraction, and it should be ignoring the To field altogether.

Is there something wrong with my version or is this how it operates? My TBird is up-to-date: 128.5.2esr (64-bit).

i'm using:

Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit) Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma 5.115.0 Qt 5.15.13

when i get attached files, like .jpg, .png, or .pdf, i can see that the message has an attached file, but thunderbird no longer opens those files, or knows how to make other applications, like okular, gwenview, or inkscape open them. this USED TO BE a standard feature.

1. receive an attached file: FILE-NAME.pdf

at the bottom of the window is a bar that says "1 attachment: FILE-NAME.pdf 3.8 kB"

2. click on FILE-NAME.pdf

EXPECTED RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens in okular

ACTUAL RESULT: nothing

3. alternate-click on FILE-NAME.pdf and choose "Open" from the context menu

EXPECTED RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens in okular

ACTUAL RESULT: nothing

4. alternate-click on FILE-NAME.pdf and choose "Save as..." from the context menu, and save the file somewhere obvious.

5. navigate to somewhere obvious, and open the file

RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens

i looked at "Settings -> General -> Files & Attachments" and confirmed that "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Use okular". i also deleted, and re-added "Portable Document Format (PDF)" from "Settings -> General -> Files & Attachments" with no change in the above reported behaviour.

I just upgraded my desktop pc from Windows 10 to 11, and before the upgrade I used the Tools Export function to export my complete Thunderbird profile, so I could import it after the upgrade. Unfortunately the export file cannot be read on my upgraded pc using the Import function - Thunderbird gives me error messages every time, that suggest the exported folder might be corrupted or invalid.

My IMAP emails are fine, as I have set those accounts up from scratch and the folders have now populated with all the emails - the problem is all my filed emails, dating back many years, which were all stored manually in a filing system under Local Folders.

I tried manually copying across the individual files from the extracted back-up folder into my live Thunderbird profile and then reopened Thunderbird...which worked to some extent...as in, all the folders are there, but no emails are showing! It shows no messages under each folder, even though if you look under the Profile you can see that the email files exist.

I tried various ways to bring them in, including zipping one of the folders and trying to import from the zip file (which also brought in a folder but no emails) but even though the email files are clearly there under my profile, Thunderbird shows 0 messages in all my Local Folders. It's as though it is unaware the files exist, so I suspect it needs them to be formally imported somehow?

I would hate to lose the emails, as they document important information and purchases etc over many years, along with archived emails for my charity work, social events, etc. As I said, I can see the files are there but simply copying the files to my profile has only worked to the extent the filing 'structure' is visible, Thunderbird doesn't display any of the emails.

I have included two images...one of my Thunderbird Local Folders as they currently look, and the other showing the backed up files existing in my Profile, which I hope are helpful.

Can anyone help please? I am running a desktop PC on Windows 11. Thanks, David.

I am at a loss and tried looking for solutions but, my issue with sending email through Thunderbird Android.

I have three accounts, gmail and 2 personal. One of my personal email accounts (IMAP); email gets sent, copied onto server's sent folder and everything is normal... EXCEPT the recipient doesn't get the email.

I use this account on Thunderbird Desktop and its fine... I see the sent email from android on the desktop but the email sent doesn't hit the final inbox.

Anyone have an idea?

I've changed settings (signature, type format, etc.), I've removed the account and added again. I've waited days to see if email gets delivered and it doesn't.

It's weird because Thunderbird desktop has no issues.

Hello. Excusez-moi, après un bug hier soir, tous mes mails ont disparus et sur le serveur... Aucune moyen de les récupérer ? Merci, cedric. Cedric.noirtault@wanadoo.fr

Buenos dias, he instalado Thunderbird Movil, pero los emails tarda en recibirlos con respecto a otras app como Gmail o a Spark. No lo hace inmediatamente. En Spark y Gmail me lo notifica y Thunderbird aun tarda mucho en hacerlo, al configurar las cuentas el tiempo mas bajo a escoger son 15 minutos. No esta la posibilidad de inmediatamente como en otras app. Como veo que otra app me lo ha notificado, entro en Thunderbird y lo hago de forma manual y entonces me entran. Un saludo...
