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.

Regards George

I've been using Thunderbird for a very long time, supporting it's development with modest contribution. Until recently everything went smoothly when sending a message (I use 2 email accounts). However since a couple of weeks, there seems to be a delay when ever I send an email. Usually I was able to send a mail and keep working through my other mails. But this seems not to be the case anymore; Once I've clicked on sent (which is instant) I wanna to work/read other emails a message appears (TB does not reply anymore) and then only 5 seconds later I can keep scrooling through my list. It's strange. Any idea where this comes from. Many thanks for your answers. Stefan

I have an issue with the Add-On Cardbook in it's latest version (97.7) as well with last version I knew that worked with Thunderbird 128.5 which was 94.4 of Cardbook.

Upgraded to Thunderbird 128.5.1 the latest version of Cardbook can't migrate all my contacts. With the lower version in use it can't synchronize my Google-Account-Contacts within 5 Minutes. Indeed it took several hours to synchronize and show 21 of 113 contacts.

This happened before when I tried to update Cardbook, but then was it able to synchronize with Google within less than a minute.

I'm unable to send any email with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but it won't send anything with the new one. The version info it gives is "128.5.1esr (64-bit)" Whenever I try to send an email message, it waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings. Authentication method looks fine, but the password (Settings->SavedPasswords) is empty (?? But I entered the password when I started Thunderbird and asked it to save it).

I would like to be able to set a retention policy on top (parent) folder and have all the folders below it inherit that policy. Is this doable with Thunderbird? It would also be helpful to be able to turn off inheritance in a child folder if desired.

I have Thunderbird in classic view. So catalogs on the left and list of inbox on the right and below the list the view of the mail's content in a preview. Every time I start Thunderbird, the inbox appears in the list. I have sorted that the latest email in the inbox is last in the list. But it doesn't show the last email; it shows a bit up in the list. The reason is that the preview surface COVER the most recent emails in the list (as an overlay and therefore hiding the list). Annoying! If I select another directory on the left and then select the inbox directory again, then the latest mail IS visible in the list because the preview area is now UNDER the list, not covering it. It's been like this for months, are both users and developers blind who haven't seen this problem?

On my wife's computer is a IMAP Email account. Cox moved our servers to Yahoo. Since then filter rules are set in Thunderbird, but they don't work on her computer. I have tried setting filter rules to work before or after determining as junk and deleting those listed in filter rules. I would prefer to see all junk deleted at the server level before reaching her computer, but that's not an option like it was with Cox Email. This works OK in my POP account, but on her IMAP account it creates a second JUNK subfolder under TRASH and lists all the spam that agrees with my filter rules. Nothing gets deleted. The filter rules have been changed to filter the JUNK folder instead of the INBOX and delete those files, but that doesn't happen! I have to move all the spam in the JUNK subfolder to the regular JUNK folder, then run each set of filter rules individually to move into trash. I can then delete the JUNK subfolder but it is automatically recreated.

I know we must use EITHER Filter Rules or Spam Assassin, but not both. I want to get rid of Spam Assassin because it looks like it's creating the problem, but I see no way to do that. Unchecking Spam Assassin in filter rules does nothing. In any case, I need a solution. Jim

I have a domain for a business and web hosting. Email accounts come with the hosting and I set up several. At some point, I began to get pop-ups asking for my logon credentials. Although they were annoying, I put up with them for a time. I thought a password problem might be causing it, so I changed the password and made sure it was the same both on the server and in Thunderbird. Eventually, this situation became more than a nuisance and (after saving the messages off-line) I deleted the email account from both Thunderbird and the server. This did not work and I still gat the pop-up messages! I have consulted with the web hosting support staff and they assure me that the account is no longer on the server. Obviously, there is some vestige of the deleted account in Thunderbird someplace and it is causing the program to attempt to sign in to the server to access the no longer existing account. This, in turn, causes the server to request the credentials for the deleted account, resulting in the pop-up messages. How do I get rid of this?
