Does anyone know how this could happen?

see: Thunderbird not sending with Gmail POP3 SOLVED

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408429

See 21 March.

Well, after I thought I had fixed my Problem, I got a big surprise. A friend came by and I was explaining what I did so we had a look at the Account Settings. When I pulled up the SMTP settings I noticed that the Port selection had been changed back to 587. I checked the other Gmail accounts and they too had reverted to 587. Bear in mind, I had previously changed all the accounts SMTP ports to the default, 465. Now, the question is, “How did the ports revert to 587. 587 is the port chosen when Thunderbird sets up a gmail account even though it shows the default as 465. Does anyone know how this could happen? Joe

I always had notification of unread emails on the Dock of my Mac, but this does not work anymore. I am running 102.9.0 (64 bit). I have seen other posts on this, but no credible answers as to why it has ceased to function and what is being done to fix it?

Everything on my Mac used to have System Preferences for Apps and now even Thunderbird seems to be 'Settings' which is not as easily usable or as well organised as, System Preferences used to be.

It strikes me that more and more computer Apps are suffering from more work all the time in order to use an App by virtue of having to click on more and more menus all the time and using up more and more time, which is not particularly creative.

Matt:

Your answer came from a no-reply address, so I'm hoping you will get this.

The misclassified email is greyed out in my Junk folder. It is not red.

Hi

I have deleted, uninstalled and re-set up Thunderbird, following my earlier question of Password checking for 10 hours. I removed the password and the account set up. When I type in the password it does not work although it works through my browser window with that password.

Can anyone help please?

I am very concerned with the inability now to add a graphic to an email. This stopped working. The "OK" button is there until I choose a file then it disappears. Why is this?

Hello,

I hope this is the right place to post about this issue.

Just installed Thunderbird Beta 112.0b3 (64-bit) a couple of days ago, getting the feel of this one and doing OK, but found an issue.

Buttons (screenshot supplied) are not working (not taking me anywhere) except for the calendar one, which works OK

Any feedback or instructions to correct this would be appreciated.

Regards, Jay

Hey Guys,

can i use the thundernest/policy-templates/ to automatically set up a User Account in a 2019 Windows Domain?

when an employee in our company logs on to a computer, he should automatically get his mailbox connected in thunder bird for firstname.lastname@company . de firstname.lastname is identical to the windows username can this be implemented with your group guidelines if so how?

if not is there an official solution for this i have not found anything.

best wishes

Hi! Yes I've seen and tried the advise on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 and also tried thunderbirds debug mode but still: on every start Thb ist asking me in several windows for the google user name and password BUT: the gmail-account and the cardbook extension is working fine. It's just that annoying question (I simply hit escape on it). Kind regards, Markus

Hi,

I have a supplier who has started sending invoices as attachments with the wrong Content-Type.

Instead of:

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="test.pdf"

they send

Content-Type: test.pdf

My problem is, I can't open these files in any program. I have to save it first, and then open it in a pdf reader via a filemanager.

This only happens with the above content type.

When running thunderbird from the terminal and watchting the output, the following message appears when I select a pdf program to open the file in:

JavaScript error: chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrView.js, line 1739: NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIMIMEInfo.launchWithFile]

Ubuntu 22.10 Thunderbird 102.9.0

Any ideas?

I have my TB email on the C: drive, which is an SSD. I would like to have archives stored on the D: drive, which has lots of free space.

• 1. Moving existing archives would be nice....

• 2. Future archives stored on D: is most critical.

I've asked before and not gotten an answer (at least one that I can act on). Any help appreciated.

Question edited to insert link to previous topic archived here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1388018

Using version: 102.9.0 after sending an email with or without an attachment, I get an error message stating that the email was sent but not saved. I have had this on other versions in the past ans it seemed to clear itself after a few frustrating days. Godaddy hosts my email

When I launch Thunderbird IMAP, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but gets stuck indexing/synchronizing. Here’s what I’ve tried:

A. In Thunderbird 1. Rebuild the Global Database

2. Rebuild the INBOX.msf file

B. In ESET Antivirus, Assign Exclusions for Thunderbird 1. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and there are two: (1) C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird, and (2) C: Program Files(x86)\ Mozilla Maintenance Service.

2. Go to SETUP > advanced > web and email > protocol filtering > excluded applications > edit, C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe.

3. Go to SETUP > advanced > email client protection > email protocols, and disable (turn OFF) the IMAP and IMAPS protocols.

4. You have to also exclude the Thunderbird Profiles Folder. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and navigate to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\

5. Restart the computer.

C. When I launch Thunderbird, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but hangs at indexing/synchronizing.

1. The above steps should be enough to resolve the issue if it’s caused by ESET program or settings, according to ESET tech support.

2. To verify whether the issue is being caused by ESET program or ESET settings, I uninstalled ESET and ran Thunderbird in an attempt to reproduce the issue. The issue persists with ESET uninstalled. Therefore the problem is not ESET. So I reinstalled ESET. If you do use ESET for antivirus be sure to assign the above exclusions.

D. Is there a way for me to pay someone for telephone tech support or a way for me to go back to v91?

1) In my internet search about what are .mozmsgs folders, I read that they are related to a Windows search function. However I am no longer using Windows, but a Mac. Does that mean they are redundant and I could delete them?

Background: I am moving my Thunderbird profile from the iMac to my Macbook when traveling. And afterwards I am moving it back. I seem to have lost mails from earlier years but just found them on the Macbook. For some reason the synchronization did not transfer all the subfolders. The strange thing is that the iMac (which did not show the older mail folders) has lots of .mozmsgs folders, while the Macbook (which showed the older mails) does not. I am using only POP never IMAP.

2) I organize my mail folders in yearly folders. After some years, when I am less likely to looking things up, I move the year folders into an archive folder. I do this inside of Thunderbird. Now I just noticed that I have empty .sbd and .mozmsgs folders in the original location (zero bites). Again I am wondering if these folders are redundant and could be deleted?

Thanks!

Using Thunderbird 102.9.0 (64-bit), Windows 10

To clarify what I mean in my title: I've set up a message filter that is supposed to search in the body that contains a word. I know the word is in the body, but yet the filter is not being triggered.

I have tried a different word that has spaces before and after and it seems to work, so I guess that's the problem, but how can I allow thunderbird to work when there's different characters before or after the word also?

Hello wise people of the internet,

I've just installed Thunderbird, which happily downloaded the last couple years worth of messages... and then stopped. I can't get it to pick up the rest, even though there's another fifteen years of email that I'd like to preserve on this computer. I tried repairing the folder: it flickers through the existing emails for a while, and maybe stretches the stop date another month or two back, but otherwise doesn't change anything.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions! I'm truly just using this as a backup for my emails (I continue to read and send within the browser), so it's important to me to get it all here.

Thanks in advance!

In TB 102.9 after clicking on the name of a contact and viewing the info on that contact's card, I can't return to the list of all contacts in my address book. How can I do that? Please see the screenshots attached. The first shows part of the list in my address book. The second screenshot shows an individual contact card covering the list of names in the address book. How to leave that individual contact card and returning to the list of contacts has eluded me. Thanks for helping me learn how to do that.
