Hi everyone, After setting up an auto-reply on one of my mail accounts, I get the auto-response but at the bottom of the signature is literal pages of random characters, completely unrelated to the auto-reply text (see attached screenshot). We have received several comms from clients stating that this is very frustrating and I would like to find out how to rectify this. Please help! Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I can't send emails anymore. For a reason, from now on my server cannot handle encrypted passwords (I'm literally translating from French so I hope I'm using the right words). I tried to change my settings from encrypted to normal password, but it cannot work with these either. It used to work before, like for years. And now I get an error message. The message says that (in my case) I should contact my messaging service or provider. So here I am ! I'm not very comfortable with Thunderbird and I don't know what to do... It would be very kind to help me or to redirect me to another service that could solve this issue.

Thank you all !

Hi!

I am using Thunderbird from its beginning (28 years?? more??)

My version is 128.5.2esr (32 bits) few weeks ago, when login, I am notified for each mail I received since my computer was off. They arrive one after the other, as before, I had just one message for each ACCOUNT. So, if I have been mailed 30 messages on 3 accounts, I receive 30 notifications (and before, just 3). Is there some parameter to come back to previous system? Or is it a bug to be fixed? Thanks for answer!

When I am trying to subscribe to https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss Thunderbird stuck on 8/16 messages. Never finishes. After all I can't find feed in the feeds list and Mail\Feeds\feeds.json doesn't contain 'destFolder'. ```json {

       "url": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss",
       "quickMode": false,
       "options": {
           "version": 2,
           "updates": {
               "enabled": true,
               "updateMinutes": 360,
               "updateUnits": "min",
               "lastUpdateTime": null,
               "lastDownloadTime": null,
               "updatePeriod": "",
               "updateFrequency": "",
               "updateBase": ""
           },
           "category": {
               "enabled": true,
               "prefixEnabled": false,
               "prefix": ""
           }
       },
       "title": "linkwarden",
       "link": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden"
   }

``` But if I try to add it again I got an error "You already have a subscription for this feed"

Hi all,

has there been a recent change in Thunderbird's archiving behavior? Whenever I archive an email in Thunderbird, it only gets marked as deleted since a recent update (about 2-3 weeks ago). The emails then stay in the inbox until I fully delete them. Previously, moving an email to the archive would delete it from the inbox right away.

Is there any option to control this behavior? It makes my inbox quite messy - especially when on the go and already archived emails keep appearing in my inbox.

Many thanks in advance.

I reinstalled thunderbird and cleared the profile folder. Then when I login Gmail, after the OAuth, it tells me "Unable to login at server. Possibly wrong configuration, username or password."

This only happens to Gmail. I also tried Outlook and this didn't happen.

I then tried running thunderbird in the terminal to see what it outputs: (image 2)

"line 232: Script terminated by timeout"

Technical information: TB version: 128.5.1-1 (arch linux aur)

I saw People posting for over a year about the "geeksquad" FAKE emails. This still hasn't been Corrected, and I am getting them Also from the criminal enterprise. They all pretend to be from Best Buy/Geeksquad they all have Click buttons with the SCAMMER website rxvtom.com within the email. Block this Junk, please, before any more people get hurt

I will provide FULL HEADERS Directly to Support Staff i don't want to Post them here since someone might inadvertedly Click on them and get Malware from rxvtom.com Malware site.

Protect your Users.

The email inbox can only show about 1 year email. I have check from mail server have 5000+ email in the account but Thunderbird can only show about 2000+. Confirmed the setting is not default setting, no email will be delete.

Not a question, but an ANSWER. You could get double or triple the contributions, if you gave the users some kind of RECOGNITION! I've made several contributions over the years, and I've received zero acknowledgement. Why don't you software geniuses do some coding to RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT YOU. Make a little logo that pops up in the browser and email screens acknowledging the user as a "Supporter of Firefox/Thunderbird Software," ...or something like that. Go ahead! Make me feel just a little better every time I use your software. This is just an idea...from a retired old social psychologist. --Ed Mitchell [removed email]

i can not receive mails, since the update to 128.5.2ESR not on imap.strato.com not on imap.gmail.com not on mail.yourhosting.com

just since today after the update. sending emails seems to work.

I did NOT change anything in the accounts.

How to solve????

Thank you.

I use Signature Switch as I have several signatures that I need for work. I want to add an animated gif and do so using the html area. The gif never shows, just a blank box the size of the gif. I wrote to the developer of Signature Switch, but no reply.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cannot send emails in Thunderbird application, instead getting error messages. After asking about creating a security exception, which we don't want, the following error message appears:

Sending of the message failed. Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognised. The configuration related to [server name] must be corrected.

No indication on how this can be corrected. Don't understand why it has suddenly become a error, when Thunderbird was previously working fine.

Please help!

Thunderbird present a "compact folder" message (done many time over the years), so I said go ahead. My Inbox was "cleared" showing "no messages" icon. First, this realy is a SCARY thing to show when compacting a folder, but they normally all come back. You really should display some different message or show the message still there while compacting. This time I got an error (sorry I did not save the exact error message) but it was that the folder could not be compacted due to an error, possibly not enough disk space and to check and make more space available. I had 290GB free space on my C: drive where Thunderbird is installed in the standard "Program Files" folder. After dismissing the error, my Inbox still displayed "No Messages" - THIS is the BUG that needs fixing. I thought I had lost all my emails!

Fortunately, exiting Thurderbird and reboot my Laptop and restarting Thunderbird shows the Inbos with all its expected messages.

I don't know how to report a bug formally, so I am hoping someone that does can pass this along to the appropriate peope or file it in the appropriate bug reporting system.

When I receive an email The inbox gets a number indicating now many messages I have received. The question is: how do I find the messages. I thought the logical answer would be to click on the inbox but nothing happens. The only solution is to scroll through the emails I haven't deleted--very time consuming. There must be a better way to find emails.

I have tried. Lord, how I've tried. to STOP Thunderbird, GMail (web), and Outlook (web) from putting ANY emails in Junk or Spam folders. Apparently, GMail and Outlook have "services" on their websites that mark things as JUNK before they ever get to me. I have turned OFF everything I can find in Thunderbird to stop stuff from going in JUNK/SPAM folders, but emails still get there.

Since I am apparently unable to STOP emails from going to JUNK/SPAM folders, it would be really helpful if Thunderbird showed little numbers as to how many emails are in there. It currently does NOT. Do I have something set incorrectly or is that a "feature" in Thunderbird?

Would appreciate any help.

Thank you.

I have Thunderbird running successfully on an iMac (Intel), running Catalina 10.15.7. With Matt's help, I got Thunderbird running on a new iMac M4 running Sequoia 15.1.1. Emails are correct in the new Inbox, but the Local Folders from the old iMac are not duplicated on the new M4 iMac. Tried using the Import function in T-bird but it said that Import failed unexpectedly. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer.
