I moving from classic outlook to Thunderbird and I am having trouble finding how to change fonts and color in signatures for my emails. I do not do html it is a simple signature; name company name and phone numbers. I search and found no help. Is there a way to change color and font in the reply to an email? Sorry I know this sounds simple but I have been using outlook since it came out so this is similar but just enough to give me trouble. Thank you for any help, rick

I thing Thunderbird is the nicest email to use but

I have an old "live" account, a "G mail" account and a newer "Outlook" account. They all receive emails fine. The G mail account will send emails. The other two will not. Can I get the setting for smtp for both live and outlook please. I have searched for some time and find different suggestions. Thank you, Garry

bonjour j'ai 3 boites Gmail gérés avec Thunderbird sur mon pc , mais aussi avec application mail (native) sur iPhone et appli mail sur tablette Android. ai réussi a modifier abonnement a ce dossier "tous les messages" sur Thunderbird pour qu'il n'apparaisse plus a l'écran , mais toujours présent sur iphone et android et donc si je supprime tous les emails de ce fameux dossiers sur mon iPhone ou ma tablette , il se retrouvent aussi supprimer sur mon pc , même en les ayant classé auparavant dans des dossiers spécifiques. tres compliqué a gerer , et jamais sur de ne pas perdre de mails je suis peut etre un peu vieux mais si quelqu'un a une solution simple , je serais ravi merci tony c.

I have been using a Mozilla calendar since Sunbird version 0.2 and have not noticed this issue before recently. I am now running Thunderbird v.128.5.1esr (64-bit) with Calendar and notice a very long delay in loading calendar data which loaded fast enough in Thunderbird v.115.3.0.

Now, running v.128.5.1esr and using "Find Events Pane" and selecting All or All Future Events, I can see that Calendar is expanding Events for each Repeat. If I set an event to repeat yearly for ten years, I find 11 entries in the Find Events Pane (Today plus the next 10 years). If I change Repeat to 50 years, I find 51. If set it to 150 years or to Forever, I find 101 entries. So it does not seem to expand more than 100 years. If I set the Event to repeat monthly, it still displays up to 100 years (set to Monthly for the next 10 years results in 120 entries). Events already entered prior to upgrading Thunderbird expand 100 years, new entries only get 99 years.

This is happening with Events set for My Calendar (local) and also network CalDAV calendars.

I realize I can set the Find Events Pane to anything other than All events or All Future events, but this does not keep Thunderbird from taking extra time to load all the calendar data. Changing these many events from Forever to a less "forever" amount of time is viewed as impractical (unless I find no other relief).

The sort order selection in the Find Events Pane does not seem to hold through program restarts, either.

Can anyone confirm these findings? Is there possibly a setting that would stop Thunderbird Calendar from processing Event Repeats beyond a set number of entries (In v.115.3.0, I find no future -repeats- in the Find Event Pane)? I experience this issue with clients running Windows 10/11 and a couple Linux boxes.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have the latest thunderbird (128.5.1esr (64-bit)), running on Windows 11 and connected to a mailcow server.

I am having problems with creating calendar events - they are created 1 hour in the future. They show up fine in thunderbird, but Mailcow/SOGo and mobile phones, etc all show the incorrect time.

If I create an event outside thunderbird, or edit it outside thunderbird, all is ok.

I have opened the error console, and it gives me a number of warnings "Calendar: Could not find definition for W. Australia Standard Time"

I am not sure where it is looking for this - but that is the timezone my computer is set to, it exists in the registry, etc.

There is an attached screenshot with more details of the error - maybe its java library issue or something?

Regards, Mal.

I used thunderbird since 2006 till now, but the present thunderbird was wrong somethings.

When I created the 25 message filters and run from inbox it's Work.

Example : Filters 1 Marketing Managers From contains : managers@xxx.xxx To contains : managers@xxx.xxx Move message to folder Marketing Managers under My Company and Marketing and sub-folder Marketing Managers

Filters 2 Marketing Customer Company A From contains : marketing@abc.xxx To contains : marketing@abc.xxx Move message to folder Marketing under My Customer and Company C and sub-folder Marketing But when I closed thunderbird and open again.

The alert pop-up will show about the filters can't move to destination folder. Then I'll check the filters again and found the problem with Perform these actions could not find the destination folder, I selected again and try to run It's work. After then I try again on next days. The alert pop-up display again.

Thunderbird 112, no message filters problem, but install new version (128.5.1 esr) found problem.

Anyone advice for solve or correct this problem.

Hi all

hope that's the correct place to ask a TB calendar (formerly: Lightning) question?

I am using categories for different types of calendar entries and wonder whether there is a way to search/select only entries with a specific category (i.e. Anniversary) in the "Find Events" pane?

The category seems not to be a search item i.e. for "All Events" contain ....

Thanks, Michael

So have Win11 , TB128.5.1esr (64-bit). Been running "TB" since it since it was Eudora 1.0.

I have an account set up to fetch my Gmails , set up as a POP. I've already unchecked... Tools/Account Settings/google pop account/server settings... -Check for new messages at startup -Check for new messages every -Fetch headers only And in "Advanced" , "include this server when getting new email" is greyed out and unchecked.

The google POP account uses it's own folders, not the "local folders, as does all my other pop accounts in TB.

When ever I click, "Get Messages" , the google POP account gets checked, and downloads emails.

How do I "disable" it from being part of the "Get Messages" button/command?

TIA

[EN] I have the latest version of Thunderbird without any add-ons. The following message is often displayed for the Wirtualna Polska email account: Server IMAP disconnected. I have checked the settings multiple times and they are correct.

[PL] Posiadam najnowszą wersję Thunderbird bez żadnych dodatków. Często dla konta pocztowego Wirtualna Polska wyświetla się komunikat: Serwer IMAP rozłączył się. Sprawdzałem ustawienia wielokrotnie i są one prawidłowe.

In the Today Pane, I use various views depending on what is shown in the rest of the Thunderbird window. Sometimes my Today Pane shows Events, sometimes Events and Tasks, and sometimes only Tasks. If one uses the Events and Tasks view in the Today Pane (left in the picture), one specifies how large the Events section is and how large the Tasks section by sliding a separator up or down. For some time now (since the release of Nebula?) I notice that, if I use the Tasks view in the Today Pane (right in the picture), the Tasks section does not fill the whole Today Pane, but its size is only that which the Tasks section has in the combined Events and Tasks view. The tasks used to fill all the space in the Today Pane by themselves, like the Events view still does (middle of picture). This seems like a bug to me. Has anyone else noticed this?

Dzień dobry, dostawca hostingu zmienił adres serwerów. W thunderbird mam 8 kont pocztowych, na 4 zmieniłem adres serwera poczty i wprowadziłem na nowo hasła. Po kliknięciu pogrupuj wiadomości grupuje tylko konta pocztowe na których nie było zmiany adresu serwera, te konta pocztowe na których była zmiana serwera NIE GRUPUJE wiadomości - proszę o pomoc jakie zmiany wprowadzić aby grupowało wszystkie wiadomości.

Porządkowanie wiadomości i napraw - nie działają. Pomoc - tryb rozwiązywania problemów i ustawienia fabryczne - nie działa

David. I apologize, as I don't know how to respond using this contact method. If there is a method for me to reply to the same thread, please advise. That is why I asked for an email to reply to. From what you just responded with, I think there is a method of responding through this forum. Please inform if I'm not correct. Thanks in advance Floyd

Hi.

I have two accounts on Thunderbird (the latest version up to 2024/12/8). One is Outlook and the other is via IMAP. I find tag function works well in any email of the Outlook account. But for my IMAP account, once I tag any email, it soon disappears after any further operation (e.g., clicking any button). What happened here? Is there any way to fix it?

The column width and spacings in my Thunderbird keep changing. When I restore them they seem to affect other folders. I need to be able to preserve different column spacings in different folders. Also when I try to move columns they drag other columns along, so realigning is a tedious process, not simple.

Bonjour, depuis la MAJ du 3/12/2024, je ne reçois plus les mails de mon compte orange, sans être intervenue. Il était indiqué que les paramètres Orange étaient obsolètes et accepter la synchronisation ? et également qu'il fallait changer le mot de passe, je l'ai modifié mais sans résultat. J'ai un message indiquant que la connexion serveur Orange a été réinitialisée (pj). J'ai contacté le Service Clients Orange qui m'indique qu'il n'y a aucune anomalie et que rien n'empêche de recevoir sur Thunderbird des mails de mon compte Orange. (dominiques.gernez@orange.fr) J'en perds mon latin .... Si vous pouvez m'aider, merci.

For a better viewing I want to create new subfolders in each account, but since last updates it isn't possible. I can choose, but no new button for the name appeares. What have I to do, that it will be possible? Thanks Achim Kleiß

I'm running Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64 bit) on Macos 14.5. The Window menu in Thunderbird (at the top between Tools and Help) displays a list of open messages. I believe it used to list the messages' titles in the list. Not now. Now all it lists is "Mozilla Thunderbird" for each open message. No way to distinguish which message is listed. I tried Troubleshoot Mode... with no effect.

Is there a setting that I need to change to restore what I believe is the old behavior?
