I just received version 128.5.0esr of Thunderbird, and I see that that the format of the Correspondents column has changed to include the email address along with the name. I don't like that format because it looks too cluttered. If I really want to see the actual email address, I can simply open the email.

I would like to revert back to the legacy column format of just displaying the name. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks.

I'm having trouble taking the contents of TBird and IMAP-ing it to a Gmail account (~60,000 messages). I have added the Gmail account as per the instructions on these forums including Advanced Config for IMAP and OAuth2, but no messages appear in GMail. Am I missing something obvious? Do both accounts have to be the same UserID? I don't want to mistakenly transfer the contents of an empty GMail account to the TBird account wiping out 20 years of messages. (I do have exports of all messages, btw) I'd be very grateful for any breadcrumbs that point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. aj

Using Windows 11 and recently activated Windows Security and removed McAfee antivirus. Since this was completed, MS Outlook would not send emails so I was instructed by my ISP to switch to Thunderbird. Now using Thunderbird and I am able to receive emails but cannot send. Attached are the mail settings that were given to me by my local cable company (MCTV Ohio). Any ideas how to fix this so that I can send emails? The message just "clocks" showing sending for hours...never actually sends the email. I know the issue is not on the end of the ISP because I am able to send on their web, just not through Thunderbird.

I don't seem to be able to get threading to work for me in card view. I have downloaded the add on and i am still having challenges. Can you help me understand what i am missing?

David, thank you. I think with your help, I have it fixed. I only had one prefs.js. (I had to go look for the file.) Anyway, just the one file. It was dated in 7/x/2023. No files named prefs-1.js or ........ prefs-46.js. So I checked the properties of the prefs-js file. It was marked read only. I unmarked read only and closed Thunderbird and reopened it. Twice now. The account I wanted to delete did not reappear and the account I wanted to add came back!! I am very pleased the solution was so simple but I would never have found it without your help and clues.

How to permanently set line spacing to "Single Line Spacing" in emails, any online solutions do not work in Thunderbird version 128.5 64 bit.

I used to able to do this easily and effectively but with the new version of Thunderbird I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Any working solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.

bold textI share an info@ ..... e-mail with colleagues. We used to be able to mark = colour e-mails so e.g. I could colour blue to my colleague an he could colour green for me.

My two colleagues can still use this function but I can only use it on my own laptop.

What can I do to make the marking seeable for my colleagues as well as myself? We have tried updating and restarting which does not solve our problem.

Not sure there is anyone answering questions in this forum now. Maybe Thunderbird doesn't exist now? I have used it for years but can't get a response from anyone on what my problem is. Keep getting message the the connection to sever timed out. Before that the message was the certificate wasn't valid for the server. Can anyone help??

I am just a non-computer-literate old woman. I have tried to follow advice from the community forum. All that SMTP stuff is Greek to me. Since the last update to Thunderbird, I can't reach my daughter or my neighbour. One uses Hotmail and the other Yahoo. sometimes after about 4 days my neighbour will tell me he finally got a message.

Please change this. The only way I can reach them is to leave Thunderbird for webmail. It's a nuisance. Can someone please advise.

I am trying to turn off the message that I get saying "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account". I cannot figure out how to turn this off.

Just make it stop. I reply to deny but it keeps coming up.

Just make it stop.

Just wondering if this is a bug or user error/misunderstanding. See attached images. I have entered the address for a contact and listed the gmail account as the default. But when I start typing the name you can see that the sbcglobal account comes up first.

What' up?

On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi team,

I am battling problems snoozing & dismissing notifications for my Calendars in Thunderbird.

In the console I am seeing lots of: `Calendar: Could not find definition for AUS Eastern Standard Time`

How does Thunderbird define timezones, and where can I correct this?

I am running 128.5.1esr and my calendar is Radicale 3.0.6.

Thanks!

When I compose a new message and add an attachment, I cannot see it (even when attachment view is enabled). The twisty next to "1 Attachment" toggles up and down, but no attachment pane (1st image). But...

If I save the message as a draft, then reopen it, the pane appears (2nd image)!

Why is the pane missing in the new message compose window?

Problem started with email contents of emails in inbox not displaying in the bottom pane. I tried some of the suggestions in troubleshooting. Then all emails disappeared from inbox. On restarting Thunderbird or when I ask to get new messages, I now get this message : Error with account wynandkok@mweb.co.za Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

Note: the disk has 184 GB of free space.

Up to a few days ago, when someone sent me a meeting invitation by email, I could accept it on my Thunderbird email app (on my windows 11 laptop) and it would be added to my Thunderbird calendar. When I would open an email invitation, there was always a line/bar that would appear below the subject line that would say "this message contains an invitation to an event" on the left side and then buttons with "accept" "tentative" "decline" on the right side of that line. This line/bar no long appears in email event/meeting invitations. On my windows 11 Laptop with Thunderbird version 128.2.1esr (64) bit, that line/bar no longer appears and I can no longer accept event/meeting requests sent to me by email. I could do this before, and I have an example from my old windows 10 laptop using Thunderbird version 115.15.0 (32 bit). Did something change with a new Thunderbird update? Or do I need to change some setting in my Thunderbird version 128.2.1esr (64 bit) app? See attached example of meeting requests received by email on both versions of Thunderbird. The email from the 115 version shows that event line/bar the email from the 128 version doesn't. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
