Hello, I am planning to do a fresh Linux install and in this context I also want to setup Thunderbird completely new, starting with the default settings. However, there are two things I would like to backup and restore (export and import).

1. The information which emails I have explicitly labelled as "Junk"/"No junk"
2. The information from which domains I allow loading remote content

I think this makes a lot of sense because I can setup my accounts easily and the mails, addresses and calendars will be synced from the cloud, and view configuration is no big deal either. Only that kind of "user data" that was gathered over several years is something I want to hold on to, and be able to continue to use. Is this possible somehow? I am not afraid, e.g., to manually copy individual files from the profile folder, if that data is stored cleanly separated somewhere. Kind regards, Chris

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!

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.

Hi!

When i upload one of my photos the dark bakgrund looks awful (see attached photo)

Edge diaplys it fine but i am a firefox user and have allways bean.

Please help!

I have two instances of two different profiles (lets call them profile A and profile B) of Firefox running simultaneously. When I click on a link in another application (for example a link in Thunderbird) the Firefox instance I started last will open up the link. This can be profile A or profile B, whichever I started later. However, I would like links to be open in the instance of profile A at all times. How can I do this without making sure profile A is started after profile B? Previously I could achieve this using the -no-remote command line option. This option has been removed from the latest Firefox version.

Mcfee was downloaded along Adobe reader. When I try to uninstall all I get is a partial box. I can see partial boxes in the bottom that I can't get at. Really the only thing I can fully read is to minimize or to exit with X. It doesn't do anything after this point. How can I get it off my drive?

Being fairly new to Thunderbird I'm still exploring the possibilities. I know I can display only unread messages in a particular folder by using the Quick Filter / Show only... option, but is it possible to set up a more direct method which requires only one click and is permanently displayed as an option?

Many thanks.

I would link to move my profile directory to a new location --- it seems that the best place for it would be a folder in my dropbox directory --- is this possible --- the best solution would be able to install thunderbird in dropbox so that any one of my computers can run thunderbird

When Firefox loads a web site such as TicTok.com, the site instantly plays the very first video that loads. Now this sure sounds like there would be a very simple solution for this problem and the solution should be built right into Firefox's settings... right? Let's see here...

Settings\Privacy & Security\Permissions\Autoplay {pop-up window} Default for all sites: [Allow Audio and Video]

                                   Block Audio
                                   Block Audio and Video

Website Listbox: Status: about:welcome^privateBrowsingId=1 [Allow Audio and Video] about:welcome [Allow Audio and Video]

   *the two dropdownboxes in this list have the same options as the 'all sites' dropdownbox.

So with these settings I certainly can block every website from autoplaying any audio or I can block every website from autoplaying any audio AND video. However these settings do not provide a "Block Video" only option. Why would anyone want that? Well because of the way sites like TicTok actually behave when Block Audio and Video is set. When Block Audio and Video is set, the user will have to press play on the video AND then press unmute. The user should be able to prevent the video playback when the website loads, and when the user presses play the audio should just start working without need for pressing unmute. This however, is only annoyance issue.

There is a real functionality issue as well. When looking at the Website Listbox, this component is essentially useless. The developers didn't even need to include the two "about:welcome" entries. They won't ever do anything unless Mozilla decides to add Audio/video to their welcome page (probably not happening). So the user can safely delete those two entries, but here is where it gets interesting. Once deleted, the user can not put them back. In fact, the user cannot enter ANYTHING into this listbox (why?). The only thing we can do is Remove All Websites.

What does this mean for the user? It means that I am relegated to either simply dealing with obnoxious websites and their autoplayed videos. Or I can set it so every website is blocked from autoplaying Audio and Video, but if I do that then I will have to unmute videos before clicking play. The presence of the Website Listbox sure does suggest that the user should be able to add websites, thereby creating a customized list of sites which should or shouldn't have autoplay permissions. To be quite honest, this part of Firefox seems incomplete and I hope it will see some attention soon.

Even though I'm logged in on TB with my Mozilla pw, TB will not reveal my passwords in TB settings. I use @hotmail.com and there appears to be a problem with pop3 server, Microsoft and TB. I get a authentication failure and according to FAQs I need to delete my pw in TB and enter a new one. But can't get there to delete.

Cannot connect Thunderbird on Win11 to my email account on mobile.charter.net. TBird recognizes mobile.charter.net and returns the configuration but subsequent login fails and is presenting mail.twc.net on the login screen. Outlook will connect using mail.twc.net. Any ideas?

Hi I have been at this for almost 2 days and have accomplished nothing. I am trying to get Thunderbird calendar and Zoho calendar to sync.

Everything is fine on Zoho but I can't find anything about syncing for Thunderbird. I am looking for CalDAV but it doesn't exist for my calendars.

If someone can help me I would be really thankful.

Thanks Norma C.

Ich habe in der Benachrichtigung zu der Funktion "löschen von Nachrichten mit Umschalt+Entf" den Warnhinweis "diese Nachricht nicht mehr anzeigen" versehentlich mit einem Häkchen versehen. Wie kann ich den Warnhinweis wieder anzeigen lassen?

Danke im Voraus für die Hife MB
