Thunderbird Community Forum

My two Talktalk mailboxes stopped working in Thunderbird and I have not received any mail since 25 November. Have the settings changed? If so, what should they be. Both accounts are set to IMAP

Hello since some days the connection to the pop3s.bluewin.ch (Port 995) ist AUTOMATICALLY reset. (message on the screen) I can't receive ANY message on this account. IN outlook I get mails on this account. On the provider Website (BLUEWIN) I get mails.

MY set up is pop3s,bluewin.ch Port 995

This is a long lasting account, since I started mailing, so its quite big.

Dear community,

I would like to create a series of events, but each named individually. In my case, I do take part in a challenge which lasts 99 days.

So I would like to create 99 events in my calendar, each named "Day 1" or "Challenge Day 1", then "Day 2" or "Challenge Day 2"

You get the idea. I was able of course to create 99 events, but they are all named equally.

Any help would be useful

Regards Harry

I had the option of Chinese -TW language installed in previous versions of TB. Previously the Main menu usually displayed in English. However, after updating to current 128.5.2 esr, the menu labels change to Chinese. I'd like to have the menu displayed in English again. Thank you.

1. Reinstalled new Firebird after crash. 2. No formatting buttons appear when composing (bold, italic, colors, etc.) 2. Composing is set for HTML only 3. Click on View Toolbars, but Formatting toolbar is not on list. Just "Menu Bar," "Composition Toolbar," "Status bar," and "Customize". The missing buttons are NOT in Customize.

That's how TB installed after downloading.

I am not a newbie, and have been using Eudora then TB since the late 20th century.

When I right click on Trash and select "Empty trash" emails are removed but empty subfolders remain. If I try to delete them individually, they simply show up again as they are added to the trash folder.

Apparently there is no way to remove these empty subfolders from trash.

Help!

I am using Thunderbird on my Ubuntu desktop to access rich02@board18.org on my DreamHost shared server. this has worked fine for years. But then I upgraded Ubuntu to release 24.04.1. This release of Ubuntu switched to a Snap package for Thunderbird. Since then I have been experiencing a lot of errors [IE: Mail text not showing on screen, unable to save messages to sent file, messages sent by others not arriving on my laptop, etc.]. I also use Thunderbird to access a gmail account which has none of these errors. If I access rich02@board18.org from other [non Thunderbird] mail clients I see none of these errors. This problem is only in Thunderbird.

I have searched Thunderbird help and support sites and found no mention of this issue anywhere. Do you have any suggestions about this?

Also the snap/thunderbird directories shown below are all empty.

richpri46@system76-pc:~$ ls ~/snap/thunderbird 585 593 common current richpri46@system76-pc:~$ ls ~/snap/thunderbird/common richpri46@system76-pc:~$ ls ~/snap/thunderbird/593 richpri46@system76-pc:~$ ls ~/snap/thunderbird/585 richpri46@system76-pc:~$

Am I looking in the wrong place for the thunderbird profile files.

Can Thunderbird (128.5.1) use separate authentication and encryption keys (generated w/ gnupg)?

I updated my thunderbird config to allow external gnupg key, but when I try to add the key files, it rejects them. I did find on FAQ there is requirement that authentication and encryption have to be the same key. This seems a bit restrictive given that a user should have one set of keys. I have keys I generated via gnupg w/ use of a card.

Run a search in the top bar for a specific email. Find that specific email in the list generated. Select the email to read the whole message. New tab displays "No message found" error, despite the search showing some data from the email in the results list.

Strange timing to be told something isn't found, after it was found by a search function.

Thunderbird stopped working several months ago - I'd been away for three days and when I was back and tried to download emails, nothing happened. I uninstalled the app, then today downloaded and reinstalled it. When I clicked on Finish, the program opened to show the old installation complete with old emails. Why? If I uninstalled it weeks ago, why did a new install show that old one? That's weird.. This supposed "new" install still will not download new emails. I have checked the settings and they all seem to be correct. Could someone please explain why this is happening. It's so frustrating after Thunderbird had worked so well for so long. Thanks Jenny

My Thunderbird app has been working correctly for months since I installed it. I use Dream Host as my email provider, my email address is jeff@bdmdata.com, and I am running on Win 10.

Starting yesterday, it refused to send or receive any of my emails. It provided the following error message: "The certificate for mail.bdmdata.com is not valid for that server..."

I also received the following message when I open Thunderbird. "You have received 3 new messages..." But no new email messages show up in my inbox.

How can I fix this and get back to work.

I keep getting pop up notifications on my Windows 11 laptop that "Thunderbird is downloading from my S23" , files like desktop.ini ,and often get popups that say "Download failed from S23" and 1) I didn't know that Thunderbird downloads files directly from my phone to my laptop and 2) I don't find anything in Thunderbird Settings to stop this anomalous behavior. This is new to me after 15 years of using Thunderbird.

One of the pop ups says "Learn more in Settings > Automatic file downloads." but I don't see that anywhere.

This must be easy, but IDK what todo to stop Thunderbird from doing this through my phone.

Thank you, Robert

As of recently, I’m experiencing a recurring issue when running Thunderbird on Ubuntu, alongside Firefox. The problem arises specifically when clicking on a link in an email, particularly links from the Freshdesk Ticket System.

After Thunderbird opens the link in Firefox, it appears to disrupt keyboard input in Firefox. For example, when attempting to add a newline in a Freshdesk ticket (by pressing Enter), new tabs are opened in Firefox instead.

This issue immediately resolves either after closing Thunderbird.

Could you provide any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this? It’s a consistent inconvenience in my workflow.

Thank you for your assistance.

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

My password manager in TB 115 is not working correctly. I cannot remove entries. They will disappear as if they have been removed. BUT when I reopen the Saved Passwords they are still there.

Also some passwords that are displayed are not correct but I can still collect and send emails from the account.

E.G. I have a google account and I changed the password via Firefox. When I opened TB it prompted me for a password for that account. I entered one. It successfully logged in, BUT the password displayed by the password manager was still the old one.

in addition when password manager first opens it shows a lot of empty entries at the end of the list. Pressing delete in the last empty line will remove all the empty lines.
