(Unable to send a bug report via connect.mozilla.org, I have to leave feedback here.) After importing feeds from OPML into Thunderbird 140.0b2 (64-bit), I will export them.

I had to attach fragments of files as screenshots because this site does not allow formatting text as code and removes part of the text.

It seems to me that the export is broken because the generated file lacks both a link to the feed itself (xmlUrl) and to the management web page (htmlUrl). And if the latter is not critical, then without a link to the feed the generated OPML file is useless.

When I import feeds from OPML, I can open the feed properties window ("Folder Properties"), but the only text data I can see is "Name" (taken from "text" or "title") and "Location" (assigned to the feed by the application, and looks like `mailbox://nobody@Feeds/Google Alerts. 941f2f87`). So the feed properties do not have the feed address (xmlUrl), which would allow it to be uniquely identified with feeds in the OPML file, feeds in another aggregator application, or with the Google Alerts interface. Also, when importing, the htmlUrl address, which is used to specify the address of the web interface for managing feeds (useless information for the application, but sometimes useful to the user), seems to be lost.

Also, as far as I understand, Thunderbird does not provide the user with the ability to see the date a feed was added to the application (or filter or sort feeds by this property), or an error log when updating it. Is this correct?

Now even as far back as 2016 i have some things i sent to drafts and they have my name from and too. I think my Thunderbird is just messed up ok send one photo of just the yellowline at the bottom and send a draft i had saved from 2019 that has the same yellow line

I want to create a semi-automated email, where the body of the email is supplied from a text file. The email is created using bash script that is launched from a desktop icon. My system is Linux Mint.

This works quite well except that if the email body contains commas then everything from the comma on-wards does not appear. For example if the email body should be "Hello Fred, In response to your email of the...", what appears is "Hello Fred".

I have tried changing the HTML/Text settings in Thunderbird, but to no avail. Have also tried creating an email from the terminal, but again the result is the same.

I would very much appreciate some guidance with this.

Thunderbird is set as my default email client on my desktop Windows 10 in the default apps and it's set in the Default Programs control panel but when I try to send a document on my desktop to mail recipient, a message comes up saying there is no email program associated to perform the requested action. It is set in Thunderbird as well as the default mail client. Cortana is no longer accessible on Windows 10 on my pc. Thunderbird is set as the email client in the registry settings, I have only a few Startup programs running on startup and cleared the cache in Thunderbird so I don't know what else to do to fix this?

Whenever I go to delete just one email in Thunderbird, every so often it will also delete the email that comes after it. So I have to go into the Deleted Messages folder and move the email back that I didn't want to delete. My Thunderbird stays updated automatically so that is not the issue. I've cleared the Thunderbird cache many times and that didn't fix the issue and my IMAP folders are synced that I know of but not sure about all the folders and not sure how to do that. I didn't have any issues with this until several months ago for no particular reason I can think of. I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird if I don't have to, if there is another fix if anyone has a solution. Couldn't find anything online except for the steps above I already did.

Owing to a price rise in MS Office, I had been looking to move to free software. Unfortunately for email this isn't working. I have downloaded Thunderbird and have tried to transfer my Outlook data there. I started two weeks ago and on average believe the process has been running a few hours a day, for much of the time when I look occupying 0% of CPU capacity, and most of the time not rising above 1%. The import has been stuck at 33% for that time, which I assume means that it imported Accounts and Settings or Address Books quickly and is taking a very long time to import Mail Messages. (It imported the couple of month's worth on webmail quite quickly.) Likely this is owing to the size of the Outlook file, 5 GB. Does this essentially make the transfer impossible? For how large a file could Thunderbird do a successful import?

Issue 2: I have one account that is having server problems... causing must click popups in TB. How do I exclude this account when using Shift+F5? I've tried Unchecking the boxes for "Check for new messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every xx minutes". And one help result suggests "Disable immediate notifications: Uncheck"; but I do not see such a setting.

I have been using Thunderbird for over 5 years. I am presently using version 128.11.1esr and I update it often. Many e-mails have been put into an "Archive" folder but I just noticed that all of the items put there are now gone. The "Archive" folder is empty. The account that this is attached to is AOL, xxx@verizon.net.

Are there any thoughts on how this could have happened? I am hoping I can get the items back.

Thanks for your thoughts, Steve H.

Hello. I am trying to send emails from Thunderbird 128/140 for Linux via Exchange Server 2010 via SMTP. SMTP authorization is performed using Kerberos/GSSAPI, without connection encryption (Connection security: Note). An error occurs when sending: "Sending of the message failed.

IMAP with Kerberos/GSSAPI is works correctly. Evolution works correctly with the same SMTP settings (it logs in and sends emails).

Hello My wife was writing a long email and saved at regular intervals. Today my wife asked where here email, in drafts, was as she could only find one with a few characters for the message .... it's possible that she has blank the whole draft at some point and hence the saved draft with just 3 characters. Is there anyway to access the previosuly saved versions? Even if she could access one which only had 3/4 or 1/2 of what she typed it would help .... I feel that the lastest version of the saved message is all she has ?? Anyone know different? Many thanks in anticipation Neill
