Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi Thunderbird Support Team,

I recently installed the latest version of Thunderbird in a Hyper-V virtual machine and encountered the following message: " Approval required Mozilla Thunderbird This app requires your admin's approval to: Read and write access to mailboxes via IMAP. Read and write access to mailboxes via POP.

Allows the app to have the same access to mailboxes as the signed-in user via POP protocol.

This is a permission requested to access your data in xx Send emails from mailboxes using SMTP AUTH. Maintain access to data you have given it access to View users' basic profile"

This was functioning with the previous version of Thunderbird, but now my IT team requires additional information about what the app is trying to do with our Office 365 environment. The approval process is crucial because some apps may introduce security risks or seek extensive access to our Office 365 resources.

Could you please provide more detailed information on the permissions requested and the specific changes in this version compared to previous versions? This will help in getting the necessary approval from our IT team.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Jenny

Hello,

I have just migrated to NC 29 (.0.8). Since then, it’s impossible to synchronize a contact if a birthday exists. By deleting the birthday, you can synchronize the contact. I’m using cardbook (97.5) - thunderbird(128.4.3esr - 64 bits), on linux.

What should I do?

Thank you for your suggestions.

Best regards,

Christian

How does one transfer addressbook entries from an old computer to a new one?

David from TB support wondered how I could get correspondence between help seekers and TB supporters when I followed the instructions I was given. I followed the instructions from November 9 and provided them in my email today. I suppose the problem is that I did/do not know how to place the entries from the old address book into a file that can be transferred from one computer to another. I assumed the file was abook.sqlite, automatically including all of my entries from the address book in the old computer. Apparently, this is not the case.

I need to know how to download into a file my entries from the address book in the old computer. Once that is done, I should be able to transfer that file to my new computer. I also need to know how to install the old entries into the new address book.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

get this message every time I try to send an email:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO-1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.. Please check the message and try again.

I attempted all troubleshooting through the website to no avail.

Two strange things happened with my Thunderbird emails today, all POP3. In the folder with emails from my sister (top folder with a few hundred emails, subfolders going back to 2004 with thousands of emails), all the emails after Nov. 7 had disappeared. That could be a only a couple of dozen emails. They also disappeared from my iPhone. (Now play the Twilight Zone music).

Then there is a folder called Randy (me) with various subfolders going back as long. Many fewer emails were there. It was mostly for receiving bcc's of emails sent from my iPhone, and most of those had been moved immediately to my Sent folders. They are still there. But there still should have been hundreds of emails. Every single one, plus all the subfolders, have disappeared.

A fix I've seen here might be to rebuild the entire message database. That would only work if the messages were still there but simply not synced any more. Last time I did it I had all the messages, but the search function had become erratic. It took overnight. Given that I still have most of my emails and the search function seems to be working, I'm afraid that I could do more harm than good by rebuilding the database.

I have my entire TB profile backed up. I could use that, but then I'd lose everything in/out since 10 days ago, when I left on an extended trip to France. That would include lots of daily reporting to friends and family about the trip.

There doesn't seem to be any way to restore just one folder, which would be ideal.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Suddenly, bizarrely, some of my sub folders have disappeared. They are not "greyed out". They have totally disappeared. I now missing important content, that I need. I have been unable to find a solution by browsing on this forum. Can anyone help? And if they are gone for good, can anyone suggest how I can prevent this from happening again?

I keep getting a warning...Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have no idea why it started or what that means. Help please?! Now I cannot even write an email. It's like it signed me out?

Windows 11 128.4.3 (64 bit)

When I used to empty Junk (and compact) & Trash, I would then File / Compact Folders that would show how much space I was saving - I do not see how much space I am saving now for the past couple of months.

Did a Setting get changed ???

Occasionally I attempt to access a web site and the system asks if I want to sign in with e.g. b2clogin.com I really dont want this and would pfrefer to sign in with my email and password. Any help much appreciated!

bonjour je souhaitais transferer mails orange vers thnderbird l 'operation avait bien commencé mais thunder n'importait qu' une adresse mail orange imap le seconde ne voyant rien venir j'ai en imap j'ai choisi pop et la catastrophe ! thunder me redemande un nouveau mot de passe en permanence pour pop de guerre lasse j'ai tout supprimer de mon pc windows 10 mais à chaque fois que le veux le réinstaller, meme blocage et je n'ai plus rien

Calendar data is correct in preview, but incorrect when editing

The dates in the preview (when I move the mouse over the calendar entry) are always correct. However, they differ from the entry when I click on Edit.

But it works for me when I delete cache.sqlite. However, I then delete the newer entry (which is displayed correctly in the preview).

Any ideas? Where does the preview data come from? Obviously from a different source than the data displayed in the edit view?

For a short while now all my received emails have extended line spacing resulting in excessive white space. I've not knowingly done anything to cause this. Is this something I can put right and how do I go about it?

I'm using the latest version of TB: 128.4.3esr (32-bit) . . . But, I think I have noticed this on previous versions, also.

I like to Disallow Remote content from loading, for security purposes, and then to select to Allow it or not.

But I notice that if Remote content is Disallowed, when I click to delete the email, sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not. The problem is, it's like it deletes it, but then another copy of the email appears. It will not delete. I have to hit Escape, and then delete it in the list. Then that does nothing. I have to close and re-open TB to see that the email is gone.

This is in contrast to how if I just Allow Remote content, deleting an email always works as expected, but then there is the security risk.

If you get a lot of emails you don't want, it's nice to be able to delete them quickly.

What is hanging it up, if you Disallow Remote content?

I have tried Deleting smart mailboxes and virtualFolders.dat . . . This didn't do anything

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.

Why would we suddenly stop receiving emails on ALL our thunderbird emails at 300 pm 11/20/24? Some get message local network down. Can send test and that goes through but outside vendors not receiving. How do we troubleshoot? need help because do not know where to look

In our company we have many clients which are using Thunderbird to send and recieve there Emails. We create a new Newsgroup and smtp with the same settings for all. There is one Client with the issue of losing all configuration set. It happens one time per month. The newsgroup, smtp settings and so on are lost AND i don't know why. All the others don't have this issue.

Do you guys have any ideas why this could happen? I am a little bit frustrated...
