Can no longer view passwords as I get a popup headed "Windows Security" asking for a user name and password. Tried several combination for the various email address without success. This has only happened within the last couple of days. Please advise

After update of TB to 128.4.3est via openSuse (15.5) the calendar no longer displays any events. Is this a settings problem? I read of this problem on Win and MAC but don't see any postings related to Linux. Another post said that events are stored and recoverable. Suggestions appreciated.

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.

Thank you Steven Wheeler

Hi there- After a round with ChatGPT and many o' google searches, I still have not found the reason why the text color change tool in the formatting bar in Thunderbird (128.5.1esr) for Mac is not working.

Specifically, I see other HTML formatting working when composing an email, but I do not see any color changes. I have enabled and disabled the formatting bar; changed the sending format between Plain and HTML; unchecked Default Text Colors....and a few more steps I may be forgetting.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

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?

"..... because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." Hi, I have two gmail accounts and I've been having difficulty compacting folders for the last couple of days. Both of them are IMAP accounts, and I typically keep them clean and prefer to save my emails in local folders. I have tried deleting the email accounts on thunderbird and re-adding them. It worked for about 24 hours and I am getting the same message again. Running as administrator has not solved the problem. Thanks for the help, Ron

Hi,

Please see the attached image.

In the header section of the compose window, the header fields and field labels are indented from the left edge of the window. This design wastes space and reduces the space available for the "From", "To" and "Subject" fields. The designers seemed to assume that everyone would use a very wide compose window. But text is composed and read more easily in a narrower column of text. The attached image shows a typical width in my use. Note that the sender's e-mail address does not even appear and the sender's e-mail account name is truncated.

Question 1: Why was the window designed this way? (Am I not understanding something?)

Question 2: Is there some way to move field labels and fields, perhaps with a setting in the Config Editor, to the left edge of the window?

Question 3: How does a person suggest/request a design change?

Many thanks for any help.

I selected options to send me a copy of an email and now my inbox has all my mail in draft form with send only option and the note "A unique identity matching the from address was not found. the message will be sent using the current field and settings for identity" - mine

Every few days I get a Can't load XPcom error when trying to launch Thunderbird. I know how to fix this problem when it occurs (manually delete T'bird from Programs, download and install latest version), but every few days it occurs again, which is getting tiring. How can I fix this so the error won't occur, at least not so often?

See topic subject...but basically used to have a handy little attachment link at the bottom of the email preview pane...now its gone since latest update..

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help on this.

Trying to send a message under imap protocole i get an error message that i cannot understand. What can I do ? Error message is "Component returned failure code 0x80004005 etc Alain HIS

I have used Thunderbird for years without issue. In the last 2 days, it keeps crashing on one of my laptops (fine on the other). I sent a crash report, but I can't reopen Thunderbird. I tried both quitting and restarting. I shut down my computer and restarted it. I tried updating by downloading the latest version, but that didn't work either. I completely uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it worked for a few hours. Now, it is back to the Crash Report.

Any suggestions? I love TB and don't want to switch to something else.

im after some help please. Please could someone help and advise what the size of gb allowed on a single email account on TB ? also can it be increased by paying for more space ?

secondly ; i am using imap due to syncing across multiple devices ( pop3 doesn't sync for me with my iphone / pc ) Could i save emails by filing them to a folder on my pc if i am running out of server space ? and if so how would i go about that? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can give me. Cheers

Hello,

Thunderbird v128.5.0 esr (November 2024) Installation of a few days. I am new to Thunderbird. I have only one email account.

I use directories in "Local folders" to manage incoming emails. I want to move (Move to) an email from "Incoming mail" to a directory previously created in "Local folders" --> IMPOSSIBLE I drag the email to the directory but nothing happens, the destination directory remains empty!? No error message?

Can you inform me about this problem, Thank you

I've got a weird display problem that started yesterday. As I scroll along my messages list, characters start blanking. Where the blanking occurs changes as I scroll.

Screen shot attached.

A brief run with Thunderbird in safe mode doesn't seem to have this problem, but I have zero extensions installed.

H/W: Ryzen 7 7700, RX7600XT, 32 GB and 2TB SSD for C drive.

Thunderbird is the only APP I have noticed this on.

I would like to share my 500+ filtres with my colleague on the info email that we both work with. How do we share filtres?

How do we share filtres continually when he or I create a new filtre?

How do we start by sharing my filtres with him?

We've tried with the addon Import/Export but that only deals with folders not filtres

Thank you in advance for assisting - maybe by creating the addon?
