My signature block in an external file stopped working a couple days after i migrated to a different machine (but it worked temporarily)

I went into debug mode to try and analyze but have not been able to get out of debug mode,

After changing my AOL passwords for two accounts today, I was able to generate a login password from AOL and log into Thunderbird with my AOL accounts. However, one of the two accounts will not send email from Thunderbird, but will on my iPhone and iPad. The other AOL account is working fine. I also verified that the SMTP port is 465. So I have done everything on my end, I think there's a Thunderbird glitch.

If I right-click on an email near the bottom of the window in Thunderbird, then the menu still opens down instead of opening up (and therefore I can't see or select many of the options). I don't have this problem in FF or any other programs.

I'm using Thunderbird to connect to the AOL IMAP server. There seemed to be some missing messages in the Inbox so I did folder / Properties / Repair Folder. This caused ALL the messages to be downloaded from the server. (I suppose this is needed but it was unexpected.) Anyway, after the repair finished I noticed that many but not all of the tags I had applied to various messages had disappeared. I am using the tag feature quite a lot, so this is a significant problem.

Why did Thunderbird do that? Is there anyway I can get the tags back?

Thanks, David

I just upgraded to Thurderbird V. 139, and my inbox looks completely different, which must have been part of this release intentionally, with every message summary now in an outlined rounded rect box, rather than beiung presented as a simple one line of table. Is there a way to go back to the old look? It let me see way more message summaries at one time, even when the new look is on high density. Thanks!

I am trying to upgrade from 128 esr version to the new 139 version. I tried several ways to transfer data from the old version to the new version - I tried to export and import a the Thunderbird zip file. I also tried to open profile manager and creating a new profile that refers to a copy from my old version. Nothing has worked. In the old Thunderbird 128 version, if I select Help and Troubleshooting Information and then Open Folder next to the Profile Folder I get an error in Thunderbird that it can’t find my profile. I get the same error message when I go to Tools, export and select "open profile folder." This in spite of the fact that the old version continues to correctly display my contacts, tasks and events

After several hours of this, I finally decided to download version 139 using the standard Mozilla set up even though my Thunderbird 128 version is located someplace else. So, at this time I have two working versions of thunderbird on my computer – the old 128 version with all my data and the new 139 version with no data.

I think I need help figuring out which Profile has my contact, calendar and task data. Then I need help getting it to the new version.

Thanks

No matter what settings are used Thunderbird says the unable to login at server. I have tried multiple variations to the configuration with the same results. I have an existing gmai laccount that works. I can access my email.com thrrough the browser fine.

I have followed the procedures for marking messages as "junk", including the "training", marking the messages individually, etc., and the messages are never diverted to the junk folder. They just keep appearing in my inbox. What's the problem here?

Hi, I have been using Lightning Calendar for as long as I can remember. As part of an ongoing personal data security task, after having my online account hacked, I recently I moved my Calendar Data from the GMX servers to my Synology NAS, Using Caldav I can synchronise data between my Android Phone & my PC, keeping all my data private. It has been working fine for a few months so I move my Wifes calendar data over as well, and that worked great as well. However, I have now come up with a problem, sometimes if I edit an event in on my PC any changes made will not save, however, if I make changes on either my Android Phone or through my browser they do.

So, I think this is possibly an issue with Thunderbird, any suggestions please.

Hi all,

Whenever I send a meeting invite to another person from my calendar and I include any text in the "Description" tab of the invite, that text from the description gets put into an invite.ics file and it sent as an attachment. People using Microsoft Outlook (unfortunately still a lot of people) do not see the description text: People using the "old outlook" cannot seem to open it at all (their outlook tells them "there is no previewer installed for it"), and "new outlook" will open it but only after an extra double-click on the attachment, which is unfortunately too much to ask for certain users.

So, the result is that I cannot invite people to an online meeting because the link to the conferencing tool is hidden in the invite.ics file.

How can I send an invite where the invite text + link are directly visible to Outlook users?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.11.0esr, no active add-ons that seem related to this.

Thanks in advance!

After the last update to version 129 my e-mail account crashed because of incompatiblity with Eule (May 28). I had to reinstall Thunderbird from an older version and reconfigure the E-mail account (and was offline for some time).

Guten Tag Gemeinde und Helfer, Ich bin 81 Jahre und habe meinen Laptop entsprechend für meinen Augen eingestellt. Nun stelle ich fest das zwei der folgenden Probleme bestehen: 1. Die farbliche Hervorherbung von Wörtern in Thunderbird funktioniert nicht. D.h. ich kann keine Schriftfarbe ändern.

2. Beim Aufruf von Webseiten (z.Bsp.: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomwaffenverbotsvertrag) wird die unterschiedliche Farbmarkierung in der Legende von Grafiken falsch angezeigt. D.h. die Legende ist allles in Schwarz.

Ich habe in der zwischen Zeit folgende Lösungsversuche durchgeführt: 1. Neuinstallation 2. Durchlesen und Suche im Hilfeforum

Ich hoffe Sie können mir Weiterhelfen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Margot Eppinger

I recently had to transfer the domain associated with my e-mail account. With help from the admins at the domain registry, I altered the account settings in Thunderbird. I got errors which said: "Sending of usernamedid not succeed. Mail server pop.servername responded: invalid format for plain response" The server settings were: Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password We changed Connection security to SSL/TLS We still got the same response.

I set up Thunderbird on a laptop in the same house, & the account was working fine, both sending and receiving. The only problem was that the e-mails in the inbox were from that point in time and all my old e-mails were not shown.

I have tried backing up the profile on my original computer, uninstaling and re-installing Thunderbird, and I nstill get the same problem. So I am thinking backup the e-mails from the profile, remove everything Thunderbird, (Program + profile), from the original computer, then re-install Thunderbird and setup the account (as I did on the laptop), and then restore the old e-mails if the account is successfully working. The problem that I have with this approach is I do not know how to backup & restore just the e-mails from a profile without all the other settings and configurations associated with that profile.

Any advice with regards to this situation would be gratefully received.

Regards,

Neil Harland

Best regards, Sheila

Hi, Can I? How? Thanks

I tried to use Thunderbird today,.. to find the interface was broken, menus were blank, so no ability to look at anything., and error message inferring there was a menu config issue was all that was shown. I duly removed Thunderbird as a snap install, which took a long time as it seemed to be making a backup to somewhere. I then reinstalled Thunderbird 128.11.0esr (64-bit) on my ubuntu 24.04,.. having setup the isp email credentials,.. all seemed fine,.. I then proceeded to import what I assumed was my old local folders... And this is where things went wrong, as I seem to have lost all my archived 2025 emails,.. I say somewhere,.. as I don't seem to be able to find them, I have used the 'find' command to locate anything with 2025 in the file name,.. but without success. At the moment I have a multi-structured 'local folder' entry, but nothing with 2025 in? I anyone able to shed some light on what I may have done wrong Many tx
