Constant blue circle timeouts when trying to open emails or send. Everything stops while the blue circle of death throbs for up to 30 seconds every time. Makes every email sent and every one marked junk or otherwise take forever.

Help.

Platform is Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Thunderbird 115.16.0esr (64-bit) I must have caused this problem while making a mistake while adding a google gmail takeout file to local folders.

Now account settings shows Local Folders / Local Directory as:

   /home/xyz/Downloads/Google Takeout/Takeout/Mail

In Local Folders the Outbox folder properties location shows:

  mailbox:///home/xyz/Downloads/Google Takeout/Takeout/Mail/Unsent Messages

In another Linux system Thunderbird shows Local Folders / Local Directory as:

  mailbox:///home/xyz/.thunderbird/g44es9f2.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/Unsent Messages

Which tells me basically where it should be pointing.

I tried to change (in account settings) Local Folders / Local Directory using the Browse... button but the Select Local Directory window doesn't give any access to the .thunderbird folder.

How can I change the account settings Local Folders / Local Directory back to what it should be?

I need to know how to recover all my tabs after closing them accidentally. I dropped my phone when trying to access tabs settings to disable the "inactive section" (that I had not enabled, I don't know why that thing was done without my consent), and accidentally hit "close all tabs". I see that, as of last year, there was no way to do it, but maybe after all the questions about this they added something. Recently closed tabs still shows the last that I closed manually

Greetings, I installed the Layup Android app in July 2024 then a few weeks later, certain websites have been automatically opening in the default Firefox browser Android app. Here are some examples: 1. GIRLS - Play GIRLS Games at Games.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour&t=BrAr13rruLXgzjC2Mukl3YAWJB0Wrlzxm2g2baIXND2lpbdvmZqzbkDgIqe-4d5ddaHImn52FjbSuzOwuV90jb1r51VR84SlCkByBx6C6bfeWPY_Ca-u2X_WISE7gw3Oe-5wLWrtOkg6dedyMegY0vA-lgQW219QEFCVewKBXx7MeqD7yL6jM4-M0VX6zon2wPoDyyyxa0rJczvf 2. h5.domaingameu.com - https://h5.domaingameu.com/games?type=parkour 3. 3D - Play 3D Games at Webgame.budgyinfo.com - https://webgame.budgyinfo.com/games?type=3D

I have since uninstalled the Layup app and deleted the browser data, but these sites are still opening in the browser even when my cell is idle. Please advise how to block these domains or another remedy. Greatly appreciated

This morning when I turned on the computer igHome, which is our startup page is not loading properly. I have restated the computer several time, logged out and logged back in to igHome. I have reset the number of colums, etc.

Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I was watching videos and I noticed that sometimes my FF freezes when I look at the preview of a video. The computer is working fine since I can tell that it is only the browser "screen" that is freezing and not the whole pc. I can fix that by clicking outside the browser's window, like clicking the taskbar and it goes back to normal, still very annoying. I was able to completely fix the issue by unchecking the option "Use recommended performance settings" and just leaving the option "Use hardware acceleration when available" ON. Now I don't have these random freezes while still being able to use hardware acceleration.

My question is: what are those "recommended performance settings" that FF was using? I can't find any information about them or a list. I know that FF uses my pc specs to determine those settings but I wish I could manually set them by myself. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have an @rogers.com email account and a few @yahoo.ca accounts, and have trouble setting them in Thunderbird for Android.

Rogers uses Yahoo servers for mail access but has its own servers for authentication. Ever since I first tried to set up my Rogers email account, Thunderbird has been sending me straight to the Rogers authentication page (rogersmembercentre.com) instead of the Yahoo page, regardless of whether the account that I am trying to set up is a Rrogers email or a Yahoo email (I tried both @yahoo.ca and @yahoo.com, and even @yahoo.pl). Rogers then asks me to enter my email address again, and rejects it because it's not an @rogers.com address.

Before the first time I added a Rogers account, I'm pretty sure I had seen it work correctly: I entered my Yahoo email, Thunderbird asked me to confirm Yahoo's servers and port numbers, then sent me to the Yahoo authentication page, where I entered my password and there was no problem. But it seems that the association of Yahoo mail server with the Rogers OAuth server got stuck somewhere, and I can't get it unstuck. Even if I delete Thunderbird's data and/or uninstall it and reinstall it, it still sends me to the Rogers page when I try to add a Yahoo email account. I guess this means that it's cached somewhere outside the Thunderbird app, maybe in some system cache of my phone, and it's possible that it's not a Thunderbird bug but an Android bug?

Hi I am syncing contacts between iCloud and Thunderbird and in most aspects it’s flawless. However when I change or create a contact in Thunderbird there seem to be a problem in character encoding. When I view the contact in iCloud the swedish characters åäö are replaced with som random strings. The other way around works as it should.

Does anyone recognize the problem and perhaps have a solution? Thanks.

I get speeds around 10 Mb but every so often I get buffering for seconds and speed drops to around 1 Mb and a few Kb upload. Panning my cctv cameras can vary from a delay of 0.5 scs to several seconds. Three years ago my estate was told that high speed fibre would be available but we are still waiting (we are only 100mtrs from the Plympton exchange.) There is no response whatsoever from OpenReach and it says no update is planned now.

How can I find out what is happening.? if I am not going to get fibre then I will cancel my contract and switch to 5G.

I just installed Android V 8.1 and the anti-spam function isn't working. Spam mail is not being automatically filtered as it is supposed to do, and does on the desktop version. In addition the junk/spam mail settings that are supposed to be in the Accounts area are not there and the Swipe to Spam function also doesn't work nor does the "long press" to get to the spam marking option.

Any estimate as to when this functionality will be brought online?

While cleaning up email to get rid of the large amount of junk I sort by correspondent. This allows me to select several of the mostly junk emails together to delete them. I highlight the first email I want to delete, go to the last one and hit shift and click. Sometimes that can be over a hundred or so emails to delete at once. After selecting delete, sometimes they don't all delete. The email is no longer bolded as though I had read it, but only a portion of the selected actually delete. It sometimes takes 2, 3 or more times of selecting them to get them to all delete. This has just been recently, within the past few months that I have noticed this. Not a terrible problem, but curious as to why this happens.

Starting about a year or more ago, when trying to set up profiles on Thunderbird for a comcast.net email address, it would fail. The different errors generated would indicate it was a problem on the mail server, and not with thunderbird. Even comcast support couldn’t figure it out. With trial and error, I finally did. - Enter your name, address and password in the setup screens and allow it to get to the “configuration found” menu. - Select to configure manually. - Under incoming server for IMAP, Authentication Method will show 0Auth2. Change it to normal password. - For Username, it will be set to the entire email address. Remove the “@” sign and everything to the right of the “@” sign. So instead of email@domain.com it will show “email” and that’s it. - Under outgoing server for SMTP the authentication method will show 0Auth2. Change it to normal password. - If username shows the entire email address, (It shouldn’t, if you changed it for IMAP) then remove the “@” sign and everything to the right of the “@” sign. - Click the Re-Test button and it should pass. - Click the Done button and the setup should be completed with no issues. -

I had been happily using Tbird for many years. In mid February, when I tried to open my inbox, the message was "inbox in use for some other operation". If it was in use, I did not know about it. Then the message changed to "Thunderbird has crashed". I tried again many times over a few months but got the same results. I've just about been coping using webmail but with much grinding of teeth. Today when I tried again, there was no message and no inbox. I've also tried opening a 2nd Tbird account but got nowhere. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks, Richard>
