I have Thunderbird 102.9.0. I can't edit an address book entry. I am trying to add another email address for a particular entry. Save does not work, it does not save the edit. If you can't provide a fix, how do I go back to a previous version just within Firefox?

I hate it when updates break things. And now it wants to do another update. Your updates are too frequent. You need to vet them better before releasing.

I've read all the solutions to Thunderbird not remembering passwords and all of them require accessing the Options menu. Problem is that it doesn't exist on my installation and there is no "options" under the MENU button either. See screenshot. If I go to MENU/Settings and then click on "Saved Passwords" it shows a blank form, even though I've logged into and attempted to save the password many times. See SavedLogins.jpg.

Here's the history of this installation under Windows 10, 64 bit. For a decade I was using Eudora then Eudora OSE, which was really a version of Thunderbird. About 4 years ago, I converted it to Thunderbird. Password saving worked fine but TB couldn't read web pages in messages.

About a year ago, I made a new installation of TB which fixed the web access problem, but password saving didn't work and that's the state I'm in now.

My email provider is Earthlink. The Message Storage local directory for the 3 accounts are at D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\pop.earthlink.net D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\pop.earthlink-2.net D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\pop.earthlink-3.net

Something in Thunderbird is pointing at the wrong location for stored passwords, because when I tell TB to save the password, it puts it in WRITE ONLY MEMORY! Please help!

102.9.1 (32-bit)

I get emails with From/Correspondents columns showing i.e. checklistnova.co|Hoses".

Yet, when I select Message/Filter Rules is says "From" is "anyplace@kabobprior.com". Why do neither the "From" nor "Correspondents" columns show the true sender of the message as "Filter Rules" shows?

It is a waste to have two columns displaying the same "fake" info when one could show the true sender.

The issue is that the account sender is randomly generated and can quickly be identified as spam while the displayed data less so.

I cannot seem to get auto reply to work. I am running thunderbird on Linux Mint.

First I created a template with a subject of "reply" and a text body of "reply test". The "From:" field defaults to contain my email address and the "To:" field is blank.

I created a filter with 3 actions.

  • Reply with Template: reply
  • Set Priority: High
  • Tag Message: Reply

When I receive an email, the filter does run. The message shows up with the appropriate tag and priority. But the Auto Reply does not return to the sender. I have tried from multiple senders.

Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong or is this a known bug in Thunderbird on Linux?

Hello,

We have a several computers, all on the same network and use the same internet connection, but a very strange situation happens in one of the PCs.

Always Thunderbird is running, there is no problem and all the emails I receive are marked as "unread" (stay bold and so far everything is correct). Now always Thunderbird is NOT running, all the emails they send me during that time, the next time that run/open Thunderbird and load the emails will appear as "read" (No bold). Why?

I already thought it could be because I had set up the phone and made some interference, but we did the same experience with another email and PC worked correctly.

I already changed Antivirus, checked if the PC had viruses. I created a rule whenever I received a new email would go to another folder, and other ideas, but without success.

Can anyone help me?

Currently I can send mail if I manually enter the password when the window pops up.

It appears that someone else is checking my emails before I do. I have been logged in twice this week to visabily see the emails that I see that are new become, "read", as I am looking at them.

Considering it happened yesterday before I received an email informing me that my storage unit was robbed it happened. Also, ALL of my emails are gone from the past 2 years. Two of them were threats. When I went to print it out..The emails had been replaced with a completely different email and it was marked as read. I actually never read the two. I saw the threats from the subject and did not open them.

What is going on?

The concept of threading is great, but sometimes I cannot see any reason why an email has been threaded the way it has. I can't really understand the rules it uses. When I am simply moving a reply or forwarded email from Sent Mail to Inbox it usually works great but if it has gone wrong I want to be able to unthread it. An email which has been wrongly threaded can seem to disappear. When I have found it I may want to isolate it or put it in a different thread.

Hello,

I'm trying to set up an iCloud Mail account in Thunderbird, and the account setup won't finish. I've filled in all the information, and clicked Done, and it comes back with "Password OK"... but then nothing happens. The account doesn't appear on the Inbox screen, and the Account Setup screen stays exactly where it is, except with the "Done" button disabled. The only apparent options I have are "Cancel" and close the tab, which have both resulted in the setup being cancelled.

What's happening, and what can I do to push this towards a proper conclusion?

Hello, I am a long time user of Thunderbird and appreciate all the work that is going on to update the software. My simple piece of feedback, purely for your information, is that connecting to the Thunderbird and collecting messages has now become very slow. In the past the process was almost instant, not so now. I am sure that you are aware of this but if not I hope this is useful to you. Keep up the great work. Thank you. Gerry Bird.

When I receive emails with calendar invitations, I can't put the event into my calendar because Thunderbird says that I have "no writable calendar". In the Properties for my Calendar, when I try to associate the Calendar with an email account, I see two, sometimes in the past three, identical email addresses listed, and that's the email address that I need to associate with the Calendar. Sometimes, I just keep trying one after the other until my Calendar becomes writable and I can save the emailed invitation. However, most of the time, no matter what email address (in the Properties list) that I choose, I still get the error that my Calendar is not writable.

I use Thunderbird with Exquilla for Microsoft Exchange. That works fine. Earlier, I had tried Thunderbird with Owl for Microsoft Exchange, which also seemed to work but my office suggested continuing with Exquilla.

Thank you for any assistance with this showstopper problem. Best regards, Damon
