Thunderbird Support Forum

I am really upset, because the spell check drives me to complete madness!! I am living in Sweden and most of my texts written in Thunderbird are in Swedish. Since some time ago the spell check is set default in English, so when I start typing all is marked with red!! Then I have to change to Swedish, because the English seems to be set as default. How in heck can I change that default setting to Swedish?? Do I need to skip Thunderbird and seek another program??

Hey. I have countless issues with Thunderbird, but two I need to solve now:

1. TB doesn't respect setting called "Sync last x days of emails" and sync everything. That causes it to consume lot of resources and my PC is very slow and fan has to run full blast. 2. I have changed login info on my CalDAV calendar so I wanted to remove the old ones and add the new one. However the old one wasn't somehow properly removed from my Ubuntu online accounts and TB keeps ghosting me to enter login info of account that doesn't exist anymore.

Version: latest Platform: Ubuntu 22.04

Witam Mam pewien problem Niekiedy - ostatnio dosyć często, nie mogę pobrać wiadomości z serwera. Serwer to pop3.onet.pl Wyskakuje mi błąd jak w załączniku nr. 1 Wejście na serwer pocztowy i usunięcie wiadomości która zawiera dziwna ikonkę tak jak to obuwie.pl powoduje, że pocztę nadal mogę ściągnąć na dysk. Aż do kolejnej podobnej wiadomości załącznik nr.3. Nigdy nie miałem takich problemów tylko coś ostatnio się pokopało. Pod spodem wklejam moje ustawienia z Thunderbirda

Help Please! I created some filters which where supposed to move email with a specific subject to a folder named the same as the subject. For instance there are filters named Mountain Hardware, Union Bay, and one named advertisement. They weren't working as expected so I opened the filter menu and changed Run Selected Filter On folder to Mountain Hardware. I received a message saying it wasn't working or failed, I don't remember exactly what the message said. Then I noticed I didn't have any mail in my inbox. I looked for the mail and it appears all mail is going to folder named 'Advertisement'. Of course the first goal would be to recover my inbox, then it would be nice to figure out how to make filters work for me without breaking Thunderbird. Thanks, Scott

I am a member of a team, which has an email (alias), let's call it team@mycompany.example

Mostly i send email using my personal email me@mycompamy.example, and I also wamt to continue doing so when responding to most emails sent to the team address

However, once in a while I may need to make an announcement using the team@ address as From:

So I set up a second identity using that address

This however now results in TB 102.9.1 (Mac) selecting the team@ address whenever I an replying to email originally sent to team@, which I do not want !! My normal identify me@ is already set as default !

I tried editing my default identify (me@) in Account settings/Manage identities and there

 [X] Reply from this identity when delivery headers match:  *

which did not help, nor did

 [X] Reply from this identity when delivery headers match:  *@mycompany.example

Note that the corresponding setting in the team@. identity is *NOT* set !

How can I make TB always select my default identify (me@) and never ever look at the delivery headers? If I want to use a different identity, I will manually choose it!

I maintain multiple email accounts for which I want to run the same filter rules. I mean the *same* rules. Unlike some people in this predicament, I am never moving emails within a folder hierarchy that is only the same as others relative to each account. When I move any particular type of filtered email, those particular messages all go to a folder in a single account, even if they originate in a different account. So, I really do want to run the *same* rules for each account, where each rule will send mails to a single folder. Mind you, though, not each filter that moves a message has to have the same destination account. One filter rule can send all emails to a folder under one account, another filter rule can send emails to a folder under a different account.

Note that I am going to answer my own question. I am doing this because I have seen people troubled by this problem and yet none has received the novel advice I have used to conveniently solve my own problem. All of the questions and answers have also been archived by now, so I cannot offer my novel solution in response to those question. Thus, I am asking the question for myself so I can then share the results with others.

There is a small subset of senders, all of whom seem to be sending e-mail via ActiveCampaign Mailer (activehosted.com) for which I have a problem. When I view the e-mails from them in Thunderbird, I see only a tiny bit of text -- the full graphical content of the e-mail has disappeared (really all of the content, there is no alt-text for the images, just 2 lines of vestigial text). I **only** have this problem when viewing the e-mails in Thunderbird. When I view these e-mails in my ISP's webmail tool, everything is intact. Only when the mail gets downloaded into Thunderbird does the problem occur.

I have already tried disabling my BitDefender anti-spam and that doesn't help.

The e-mail headers of the truncated e-mail in Thunderbird are exactly the same as those on the intact e-mail in the webmail tool (when BitDefender is disabled).

Why is Thunderbird doing this? How can I stop it?

Thanks so much for attention and advice!

Whenever I am trying to search emails using a Quick Filter 'Body' search for some abbreviation, I get many more than expected results

eg I am searching for '8CU, I find emails that do NOT have the text '8CU' in the body but in the base64 encoding of an attached file:

--_002_7fcbd9023b934dd1a0704ab782050e9bakamaicom_ Content-Type: image/png; name="IDE Newsletter 2022 Final.png" ... Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABjMAAAjFCAYAAAAiME4KAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARzQklUCAgIrVtx/fp1f... x78AETC7OwcFhaX8Cuf+aTcp+4wFMZgmhaq9WaHxEN8BrloX36d5NfLTZs24a233hpo ...

or eg when searching for 'DEDF5' TB finds an email:

Message-ID: <2F17D411-7186-43C1-A2E3-DEDF5AE068CF@akamai.com> and Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_003_2F17D411718643C1A2E3DEDF5AE068CFakamaicom_"; type="text/html"

and searching for 'FuSy' finds emails

Is there a way too make it skip searching for text in base64 encodings or similar hashes? Often the search results are still too many and I have to visually pare down the results

‘I keep getting a drop down panel which says 'Thunderbird can't update to the latest version', and then tells me how to Download Thunderbird. I have followed this three times now. 'I DO HAVE the latest version 'and paid money. Can you stop this panel coming up every time?

My husband sent his laptop back to the vendor to be repaired. It was returned to him fixed, and he can access all his items, EXCEPT, his Thunderbird email is asking for his password. If he cannot recall what it is, is there a way to recover it? He has access to his email via our Internet Service Provider by logging onto their website. Is it possible for Mozilla Thunderbird to send him a reset password email he can access that way? HELP!

I need to add an entry for smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I have two Yahoo emails (actually frontier on yahoo) and they have different smtp passwords. I'm using another mailtool and don't want to have to change a bunch of passwords, just want to add an entry for smtp.mail.yahoo.com and can't figure out how to do it through the Thunderbird Account settings. Currently I can send mail if I manually enter the password when the window pops up. I don't have either tools>options or tools>preferences available in the menu, can't figure out how to access the Password Manager. Win11 with Release 102.9.0 64-bit

My Ex recently accessed all my accounts, passwords, pins, the lot. He's changed passwords locking me out of just about everything. I thought I was safe with this twice wiped laptop, but I've just been locked out a new email, which has the one attached to my website: zoe@zleger.com. I need to find some way to get this email back into my hands so I can also recover the new email. I can say I sent a donation last year if that helps verify me. I've created the chisamore email when Google would no longer give me an account with any combination of my name, all of which I have been locked out of. This newly wiped computer has just been infected, sadly by something my son sent me as his email was the last thing I opened until I tried to log into the other email. Now I am locked out of both. I had been conversing with Linux.org about all this (Coreopsis) but I was soon locked out my own computer without even finishing the thread. I have to assume this email is being read but I hope I'm not locked out again. Yes, there is definitely someone watching this and mucking me about. Any help recovering my my website email would be greatly appreciated. Zoe

After upgrading to v. 102, Thunderbird could no longer write to the mailbox, and I had difficulty determining the cause. It turns out that using the Spambayes mail proxy was the culprit. Bypassing the proxy and changing server settings to that of the mail provider allowed me to download email, but I wanted to proxy to work again.

Searching further turned up this link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1789314 Setting "mailnews.pop3.jsmodule" to false fixes my problem, but the problem must not be identical to that of Bug 1789314 because it is marked as resolved as of TB 102.3 and not requiring the workaround. I am using 102.9, and the workaround is most definitely still needed.

on a regular basis for no apparent reason my email address will disappear from thunderbird and all of my emails it will only show a folder with no email address. the email address is still in settings. my fix has been to delete the email address and then reinstall the email address. this bring back the address and the emails Can anyone suggest what the issue may be and a possible permanent fix. thank you Paul

Somehow my inbox started threading emails which is NOT what I want.

How do I remove threading. Instructions I have found (clicking on the last column header ...) do not seem to work for me in version 102.9.1

Please help,

Thanks, [email removed from public]

Hello dear Mozilla (or should I say Thunderbird) crew and community,

Some months ago, in December 2022 I think, under Windows 10, my Firefox webbrowser got started whenever I started Thunderbird, showing a request for donation screen. Having enjoyed the benefits of Thunderbird for a long time, I thought it was reasonable to donate. I hoped the screen would disappear after this, but it didn't. I have searched for solutions to get rid of it, because it slows down TB whenever I want to look into my emails. But sofar, without success. The only things I DID find were that I can get rid of the screen under Linux (as a normal user). Under Windows I can start TB 'as Administrator' and then remove the URL (see below) from the settings. But as I recall it, it reappeared after a couple of restarts of TB even in this case. And starting TB as Administrator gives me no access to my emails which are stored under my user account. Removing the URL, by the way, can not be done through the normal settings screens. I had to go to the "hamburger" menu icon and then select Settings, scroll all the way down and then click on the Configuration Editor button. There I found these three related parameters and their values:

app.donation.eoy.url = https//www.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/102.0/eoy/ app.donation.version = 1 app.donation.eoy.version.viewed = 1

My questions:

1) Why can't I remove the URL for the "end-of-year" donation screen as a normal Windows user?

  Every time I delete it, it's back the next time I start TB.
 (for God's sake, it's almost April by now and I DID donate at year's end ;-)

2) The file 'prefs.js' in my user mail profile/directory seems to hold part of my settings, but it states "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". Could I define a 'user.js' file to actually circumvent my inability to remove the URL through the Configuration Editor? 3) Or even better: what IS the right way to remove the donation screen in my situation; or put differently: is this an error (f.e. with user rights) in the Windows version of TB not present in the Linux version?

Thank you in advance for your help or suggestions,
