Hello,

How do I create a new account with Thunderbird? (The support article hasn't been updated in 3 years.) Is it still possible to create a new account with Mozilla, or do I need to create an email account with a third party such as Mailfence and then log in? Should I just use Seamonkey instead? Please advise. I would like to integrate my browser and email. Thank you.

I just read the thread "Thunderbird does not delete save drafts after email is sent", cause i experience this since years and do not understand the rationale, why auto-saved drafts do not disappear from the drafts folder, when the mail is sent. Then it should be in the folder Sent and nowhere else anymore. Anyway. Another thing i see and that more than confused me, when i got aware of it the first times, is, that for the mails in the drafts folder, the shown correspondent does not match the mail. When i click the mail in question in the list, i see a mail matching the subject and in the reading pane showing the correct addressee, but in the list it seems thunderbird shows a random addressee from one of the mails sent recently. I have several Linux installations with several users and the issue appears on all of them. Thank you for fixing or deeper insight, what the use of this might be.

I have an email account with Spectrum. Recently, I linked my Thunderbird client (128.5.5 esr 64-bit) with Gmail and now find that my Thunderbird inbox has been completely put under the control of Gmail. Email still arrives at the Thunderbird Inbox but, if not acted on quickly, is removed to my Gmail account, leaving the Inbox empty. It is also removed from the Spectrum server. I spoke with Spectrum and they confirmed that they are not forwarding the email and that the solution to the problem is with the settings in Thunderbird or Gmail. I would like to stop all forwarding of my email from Thunderbird to Gmail. I’ve looked hard but not been able to find anyway to do this either in Gmail or Thunderbird. Please advise. Thank you.

I periodically backup my Thunderbird AppData information: C:/Users/<me>/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird

I believe I installed Thunderbird from the MS Store.

On one device (MS Surface Go, Windows 11), this directory does not seem to exist. I have hidden folders visible, and several folders show up under AppData\Roaming, but not Thunderbird. I tried using %APPDATA%\Thunderbird, which works on my other devices, but the result is "not found".

I created a local folder ("save") and then used "properties" to display its location:

mailbox///C:/Users/<me>/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/pv771buo.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/Save

When I put this into the file explorer and hit return I get told there is no app to open this 'mailbox' link, and I should look for one on the MS store. When I remove the mailbox/// it gives me the "not found" dialog.

I used the help->troubleshooting dialog to "Open Folder" under the Profile Folder entry, and got a "Location is not available" dialog. The dialog cited the same folder path as given above.

Where is the Thunderbird App Data stored? How do I access it????

You have recently released version Thunderbird 128.1.1 in which you have changed the Compact View so that it is effectively no longer a Compact View, because the spaces have been increased between the Folders in the sidebar folder pane. I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of months and really liked the Compact View but now it has been spoiled. I don't understand why it was necessary to change this, and would be grateful if you would please revert the Compact View to how it appeared in version 115

Kind regards

So if you say go to delete an Event from the Calendar you can't as a box pops up but only has the banner at the top saying 'Delete Event' with the close option at the end of it, the rest of the box with the 'Yes' option is missing. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks

After a PC failure I have a new PC with Linux Mint installed. I have a PCV backup of my older emails from 2015 (I have downloaded my more recent ones again from AOL and Gmail) and I have extracted these into a new directory. I can see the email directory and files that I need to install into my new Thunderbird setup - the "Inbox" is readable as text - but am not sure what I do with these. I want them stored as local.

What do I do?

Hi everyone,

I’m having some trouble with Thunderbird and could use some guidance. I’ve been trying to install the latest version, but I keep running into issues. The installation either fails midway or gives an error message I can’t figure out.

Also, for the times when I’ve managed to install Thunderbird, I’ve noticed that updates don’t seem to apply properly. The program either doesn’t update automatically or prompts me to download the full installer again.

Could someone explain the proper steps for installing Thunderbird and ensuring updates are applied correctly? Are there any common pitfalls or settings I should check to avoid these issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Good morning, I had asked a question early on Saturday, but was unavailable the rest of the weekend so just now responding to associate Corey Bryan's answer. I had gotten a message that I am using an unsupported version and they recommend downloading the latest stable version. He said it appears that I'm on the "Release" channel and most likely want to be on the ESR channel. I also mentioned that I am a cave-man when it comes to anything computer and am very skittish about making any changes as I don't how to straighten out any errors that might occur. He asked me where I installed Thunderbird from and the answer is that I don't know. It was an IT guy that did it many years ago. So I guess my questions are, if I've been using this version for years, do I need to or should I update it? If so, if I click on the latest stable version of Thunderbird, will that change anything on my computer, aside from getting the newer version of T-Bird? And will my e-mails in Thunderbird look any different? Thanks very much for the help. Tony

Hello, I have enabled the Thunderbird dark mode. My expectation was that all messages in the message list are displayed in white on a dark background.

Unfortunately, the message list often uses a black font on a dark background.

I changed the color in the message pane using settings --> Colour

I followed the instructions/workarounds here for using dark theme, including reset and troubleshoot mode. https://support.mozilla.org/sv/questions/1439922

But it did not help. Maybe you guys can help.

As of today, I can't access attachments. Emails in the message list pane correctly show the paperclip icon but when I open the message, there is no attachment file name displayed. If I forward the message, the attachment appears and is forwarded correctly but if I click on the attachment name in the forwarding message pane, it disappears.

Note that this problem applies to all folders, including Personal folders and their subfolders, not just Inbox.

I am having PC stability problems and it may be that Thunderbird was caught in a freeze or crash. In any case, I really need a solution. Can you help?
