I downloaded and installed an earlier version of Thunderbird. Now I can't get into my email account. It keeps saying I need to let Thunderbird know my pass word and email name but I've long ago forgotten my password. I tried several possibilities but they were denied.....help!

I access several email addresses on several devices. A couple of months ago, I stopped being able to download emails from my Hotmail account to my desktop (where I keep all the good stuff). Thunderbird didn't like my password, though it was working okay everywhere else. I have now changed the password and Thunderbird still doesn't like it. What else can I do?

Barvu textu nelze nastavit. Po zvýraznění části textu a provedení požadované změny se tato změna neprojeví. K editaci vlastností textu není nikde žádný jiný nástroj.

Viz obrázky: zobr-nastr.jpg .... Zobrazení -> Nástrojové lišty vyb1.jpg .... 1. krok při změně barvy písma = výběr textu + vybrat barvu textu vyb2.jpg .... 2. krok při změně barvy písma = byla vybrána barva "červená" vyb3.jpg .... 3. krok při změně barvy písma = po potvrzení změny - nic se nezměnilo

hello is it possible to make fast reply as in microsoft outlook ??? It`s the only reason that i moved from Thunderbird to Outlook that was always best for me. Keep good work !

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

Dear all, Since two days my e-mails are downloaded multiple times, i.e. I receive one and the same mail up to 10 times or more. I have 3 accounts, but only two of them have this problem. The account without problem is with a different provider. What could be the reason? What could I do? Many thanks and best regards, Ute

I just left from Postbox (on macos) since this program has been sold to another company and is not maintained anymore. Postbox is designed after Thunderbird. It has a convenient feature: displaying Location in the headers of displayed messages. For those users who have a lot of mailboxes, this can be quite helpful. If no add-on can do this, I suggest that it is implemented in Thunderbird itself.

Dear Sir or Madam, Since last monday I'm unable to receive Thunderbirds messages but can send and the 2 emails went into my local folders file now instead of my daviddss2007@aol.com sent file (see attachedment). I am unable to carry out any functions of my current files in daviddss2007@aol.com (eg move, change or delete). I've also noticed if I try other methods to retrieve messages I get the 1st attachment each time on my screen. I've tried checking my Settings / Account settings with my very limited experience and all the settings appear to be correct according to other blogs I've read. As further info when I open my Thunderbirds page it is not normal for the page to show permanently daviddss2007@aol.com: Connected to imap.aol.com... (see 3rd attachment). Normally it would search for emails received in my INBOX and if nothing found remain empty?. I hope the attachments assist - so PLEASE HELP Dave S Smith

I want to send some attachments with Thunderbird but suddenly, yesterday, I am unable to get My Documents to open and select the required file. I can open Thunderbird as normal, and I can send text only emails, but when I select "Attach" then My Documents comes up but as soon as I click on ant folder then I get the message "Attach file - Not Responding". The window just stays like that until I close the programme.

This a new problem from 1 day ago.

I am using Windows 11, 64 bit Pro, fully up-to-date; I use Hitman Pro, fully up-to-date, 64 bit; and I use Malwarebytes, fully up-to-date, 64 bit. I have a Lenovo Thinkbook i7 with 1gig hard-drive and 16 gb RAM.

I keep everything current and up-to-date, and programmes like Adobe Acrobat 2020, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes are all paid-up subscriptions and all up-to-date.

Perhaps someone might have a solution to save having to to reformat my Email programme to Firefox or MS Messenger or some other thing.

I support clients who are globally dispersed and so want to have visibility of an alternative time zone in my calendar. This is something I had been able to do both in Gmail/Cal and in Outlook (both web and desktop); the screenshot here is from Outlook.

Is this possible in Thunderbird? I have looked in the settings, as well as the existing support/articles but haven't been able to find anything.

I am an longtime user but not a freak in using the system. I have the feeling that ISPs have difficulty in implementing good standards, but Thunderbird as well. I had a sequence of issues and failures and had to repair them by continuously changing settings and now it becomes virtually inoperable. I do not want to spend time in solving all these issues, if expert fora suggests pieces of python code as solution I have to conclude that the system does not work any more. One other problem TB changes apparently so much its own menu structure that that is also not working any more. And solutions given cannot be implemented. Sorry to say, this is immature freaky programming, you need some serious system engineers and managers to repair the chaos. Google and ISPs will anyhow continue with their own interest so Thunderbird should be robust against the outside inconsistencies. My complaint is both for the calender as the mail handling. Sorry to say, I am willing to pay that you could hire good programmers, but the volunteers with proper guiding are possibly better qualified. I hope you can solve the issues - changing fully to another environment implies reorganising my work environment.

Hoping you can recover, success, Lars Venema

Добрый день! Убрал галку с настройки "Автоматически отмечать сообщения как прочитанные не работает", однако в почте по прежнему письма становятся прочитанными, что делать?

Где находится данная настройка, нахожу только в поиске =(

After the update to the new version of Thunderbird, it is running slow with "not responding" messages. It takes a few minutes to download emails from Google Mail but eventually works. I run widows 10 on 64bit Del laptop with 8GB RAM. I cannot upgrade to Windows 11 as my system will not support it.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.80 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I started using Thunderbird several months ago. I use Windows10 and Edge; using the settings advised by optus. Optusnet is my email server. With some difficulty I downloaded my address book via a CSV file. Emails to or from Yahoo addresses do not arrive. A sent message records as having been sent and is in the sent box but is not received by the addressee. Arriving emails do not arrive from Yahoo. All other email addresses appear to be delivered ok. I have double checked all of communication settings. Please advise.

Hello all. :-)

Since the last update, I can SEND email fine(including attachments), but when I OPEN any email, all the items on the screen show up like editable objects, none of the links work, you can't download or otherwise access any attachment, and I am getting a cryptic message in yellow at the bottom of the window.

I tried downgrading to the last version that worked, but then TB would not allow me to import the profile, as the latest version has obviously done something in the profile, to make it incompatible if you downgrade - I just get a message that you can't import the profile, it was created in a newer version of TB......sod off. ;-)

I have attached images of what I am seeing. I have pixelized my email address etc, for privacy.

Can anyone help?
