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 see it as Thunderbird hijacking the resources of my computer to run Firefox and take me to the donation website. I'm fine with the request for money in the Thunderbird screen, I can navigate away from that. Don't open programs other than Thunderbird before I require them.

I have seen a custom css workaround solution to add category colors into calendar events. That solution still relies on calendar events having to be categorized in order to support color functionality.

How is it the year 2024 and Mozilla Thunderbird Calendar doesn't support event colors, independent of categories? This feature has been standard in most major calendar apps for literally decades now. All my Nextcloud calendar events are color coded (without categories), and won't sync to the Thunderbird app.

Can Thunderbird please add this functionality?

This happens in all my email accounts, I have pop downloading all files from the server & imap on other accounts.

Since the recent updates, my Thunderbird has gone bonkers with confusing settings. I have lost all my previous settings and in particular cannot create any subfolders. I have had no problems in the past. I have tried a few solutions suggested by other subscribers without success. It would be greatly appreciated if the developers (who have done a marvellous job for so long) can rectify the problem ASAP. Otherwise, can I revert to an older version?

I have a filter that successfully moves certain incoming emails to a server folder named "Bills". I would like to have a filter that automatically moves the emails in the server's Bills folder to a local Bills folder when the email is over 60 days old. Is this possible?

I have two GMAIL accounts synched via IMAP to Thunderbird.

Thunderbird shows several folders for both accounts that I don't want or need to see namely ALL MAIL and IMPORTANT and STARRED that I want to disable from my Thunderbird view.

I have looked in Gmail settings and labels, and also in the Thunderbird Tools Account Settings and have not been able to suppress this despite following the help offered by various web page searches. What am I doing wrong or better still, what do I need to do to fix this please?

Thank you

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.

I used the imap mail on Thunderbird, and I created the Folder from lists below;

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

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?
