When I receive calendar invites from other users, generally on Outlook, they appear in the body of the email. This means I have no means of saving them as .ics file to import into my Google calendar and have to create my own entry, often losing important information. I therefore have to resort to logging onto my bt email account on the browser where I can get the file in its correct .ics format and save it from there to import to Google.

How do I fix this and get the invite to appear in Thunderbird email as an attachment?

Recent update causes all pdf links to be opened in Firefox on Android with no option to download, and no setting to choose a default behavior. They're was another person who asked a similar question and was told to use the "Share" option and then "Save as PDF" - this doesn't work. Another advise given was long-pressing on the PDF link and choosing to save target - it won't work when I am pasting the pdf link into the address bar, which is how I do it primarily. I'm stuck using the Open in External App, which opens the pdf in Google drive, then having the option of saving the file. So many unnecessary steps. Please fix.

Hello I have been having this problem for 2 days, I am running 102.9.0 and I did as suggested the IPV6 change I saw in another question - that didn't work. Also I have NOT changed this password in years, so I don't remember what it is ! I have been using Thunderbird for years as I was a Netscape use & Thunderbird is a neat to use as Netscape was !!! Finally I am not too PC technical so even doing the IPV6 change was quite stressful !

I have struggled all day today to get into my T'bird email account linked to gmail which has been working fine previously.

T Bird keeps asking for my master password. I don't know that information. To clear/reset he password requires that one knows the current password. I am also told to paset'chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul' into the error console but this has no reaction.

How do I definitively eliminate my master password without knowing my current master password?

When I CANCEL the entering of a password in T'bird, Google pops up and send me a nice 6 digit code that also results nothing happening.

Please help, I do not want to waste another day on this. Thanks.

Hi!

I just bought a new PC and had Thunderbird (TB) re-installed.

In mail threads in the re-installed TB, the dropdown menu under the More button is now gone, and the Save As option is gone with it. The only two buttons active are Archive and Remove. I used the Save As option to save backup copies of emails outside TB.

Are there any alternative methods to save backup copies of emails outside TB?

I tried the Archive button on one email, then went to TB Menu (upper right corner) and chose Archive/Open/Open Saved Message. This took me to File Explorer, where I was asked to enter a file name. How do I proceed with this option?

Many thanks in advance for all help!

Best, Stefan

Since the last update of Thunderbird for Linux (upgraded to 102.2.2), my unified folder is now ignoring one of the mailboxes.

The corresponding mailbox still receives e-mails and I can consult them by clicking the mailbox itself, but its messages do not appear in the unified folder, they are not even counted (see attachment) and the quick filters does not return results from that mailbox either.

This is a company mailbox synced with IMAP/SMTP.

Thunderbird 102.9.0 I am no longer able to keep my address book alphabetized. I have gone thru the View looking for any alphabetize method, but it's not on the list. I go through my address book yearly just to clean up, and it had been in order for years. I hadn't checked it since beginning of 2022. Now it's in random order. I do allow updates to download and run automatically since I've never had any issues with a Mozilla product. I have tried a restoration, however that did not change the address book. Thanks everyone!
