Bug: Sub-Folders show as having new messages, but then don't list the new messages - after sleep with server side filters
Status: NEW
Priority: --
Created: 2023-08-30 08:37:24+00:00
Resolved: 2025-02-13 07:02:11+00:00

I let my computer sleep overnight with Thunderbird running and a sub-folder selected - the sub-folder gets new mailed filtered to it.

When I then woke up the computer in the morning, the folder had new mail, but it failed to display the new messages in the message list, scrolling either way did not help.

There's no error messages on the error console.

I think I've seen this a few times over the last few days, maybe not always with going to sleep.

To get the messages to show up, I have to select a different folder and then go back to the previous one.
Bug: Compact Folders does not compact subfolders
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: DUPLICATE
Created: 2023-08-30 09:19:56+00:00
Resolved: 2023-10-05 07:31:02+00:00

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a hierarchy of folders not in the Inbox and add emails to the top level and subfolders. 
2. Delete some of the emails in the subfolders. 
3. With the Inbox selected, click on File, Compact Folders, you get 'Done compacting (approx.0 kB saved).'
4. Select the subfolder from where the emails were deleted and click on File, Compact folders. It will now compact, e.g. Done compacting (approv. 150kB saved).
Also
1. Delete emails from one of the other subfolders
2. Select the parent folder, right click and select Compact, you get the message 'Done compacting (approx.0 kB saved).'
3. Select the subfolder from where the emails were deleted, right click and select Compact'. It will now compact, e.g. Done compacting (approv. 150kB saved).


Actual results:

File, Compact Folders does not compact all the folders in your account, which is used to before v115. It only compacted the folder selected. Compacting is only working on the folder selected.



Expected results:

File, Compact folders should compact all the folders in your account. 
Compacting a folder should also compact all its sub-folders.

Note that this may be related to bug 1841147 where unread email notifications are not being propogated to parent folders
Bug: View/Unread selection does not persistent upon folder switching

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

Suppose; I am in Inbox folder and checked View/Unread on the toolbar. Listing updates itself to show only the unread and this is ok. Then when I switched to Sent folder or any other and back to Inbox listing changes to All.


Actual results:

Switching between folders clears Unread check mark and shows instead All messages.


Expected results:

Before the version 115, every folder has its own View/Unread or View/All selection status. If TB is closed this status would be saved for each folder. If, for example, I checked Unread for Inbox, All for Sent, Unread for Drafts before the exit these settings would be saved.
Only for this reason I want to switch back to previous version.

Bug: Dragging a folder past the top or bottom of the visible folders doesn't cause continuous scrolling (linux)
Status: NEW
Priority: --
Created: 2023-08-30 17:22:10+00:00
Resolved: 2025-01-27 12:31:25+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

I moused down on a folder and dragged it past the top/bottom of the visible folders.

I'm running Thunderbird 115.1.1 in Manjaro XFCE.


Actual results:

The list scrolled up/down a few folders, then stopped.  I couldn't find a position for the mouse pointer where scrolling became continuous.


Expected results:

I expected scrolling to become continuous after finding the right position at or near the top/bottom of the visible list.  I would also want there to be a position where or beyond which the scrolling speeds up.
Bug: Mark Thread As Read no longer works if some selected messages are already read
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: FIXED
Created: 2023-08-30 23:46:33+00:00
Resolved: 2023-09-15 20:08:16+00:00

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open a message list with multiple read threads.
2. Mark a message as unread in one thread.
3. Ctrl+A to select all messages in all threads.
4. Enter the "R" keyboard shortcut to mark all threads as read.

### Expected behavior

All the unread messages should be marked as read.

### Actual behavior

Nothing happens: no messages' read state changes. I think this is a regression from TB in 115. I'm 99% pretty sure this worked in TB 102.

The "M" keyboard shortcut to toggle all selected messages read state still works, even when selecting both read and unread messages. So this bug is only about marking as read

This bug sounds similar to bug 1830306.

Bug: The spam folder string is written to prefs.js as ASCII instead of Unicode.
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: DUPLICATE
Created: 2023-08-31 12:16:49+00:00
Resolved: 2023-08-31 13:39:02+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

When adding a GMail account in the Thunderbird settings, you can specify the folder where junk emails will be dropped. However, after the restart, the settings item about moving emails to the junk folder is inactive. Also, when you try to reassign the folder again, the Junk and GMail/Junk folders are created.

Actual results:

When using GMail in non-Latin languages (in this case, in Russian, similarly in Ukrainian), the path to the Junk folder is "[Gmail]/Спам". However, in the profile's prefs.js file, the junk folder line looks like this:
"user_pref("mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetFolder", "imap://lifanovyaroslav%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/!?0<");"
If you change this line in the settings file to
"user_pref("mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetFolder", "imap://lifanovyaroslav%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Спам");"
then in settings, the junk folder selection item will remain inactive, but the filtering will work. At the same time, for other folders (drafts, trash), you can specify similar folders (GMail/Черновики and GMail/Удаленные) and they will be displayed correctly in the prefs.js file.

Word "Спам" in Unicode is "\u0421\u043F\u0430\u043C", when strange symbols (!?0<) is "\u0021\u003F\u0030\u003C" or "21 3F 30 3C" in ASCII. Thus, you can see that in the "spamActionTargetFolder" parameter, the string is written as ASCII, and not as Unicode.

Expected results:

The name of the spam folder must be written to the settings file in the correct encoding.

Steps to reproduce:

I am using Thunderbird 102.15.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu MATE 22.04.3, installed from the mozillateam PPA, but I have had this issue for a long while with the standard version from the Ubuntu repository.

I am subscribed to a news mailing list which sends e-mails like this one:


X-Mozilla-Keys:

Somehow, Thunderbird picks the URL up and displays it as a message header, under the e-mail subject, like this:

Website: http://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=333458

See the attached screenshot.

This has been very convenient for years: If you find the title interesting, you click on the link and the web browser opens.

However, in the past year or so, very often clicking does nothing (it gets ignored). It remains so for a long time, but sometimes, the clicking starts working again, for no apparent reason.

You can always right-click on the link, choose "Copy Link Location", and open it with xdg-open in a terminal, or with Firefox. But Thunderbird should actually open the link reliably.

I have 2 add-ons, "Automatic Dictionary" and "Quicktext", so I disabled them and restarted Thunderbird, to no avail.

When the clicking gets ignored, there is nothing in /var/log/syslog. And Thunderbird itself does not print anything on stdout or stderr when I open the e-mail or click on the link.

By the way, the attached screenshot shows another bug: If the text on the window title bar is too long to fit, it gets truncated on the right, but the first letter on the left is corrupted. In the screenshot, look at the first word in the window title, "Best". The "B" is blurry. This happens on at least 2 Ubuntu MATE computers with different graphics cards. It happens in Firefox too, and it is not limited to the first letter, sometimes other letters, in addition to the first one, get corrupted. Although this might be a problem with the window manager.

Bug: messenger.messages.getFull never resolves if the mail server is unreachable
Status: RESOLVED

Resolution: FIXED
Created: 2023-09-01 01:42:54+00:00
Resolved: 2024-07-25 08:36:10+00:00

1. Configure a working IMAP account.
2. Turn off message synchronization on the account.
3. Change the mail server host name on the account to something unreachable, e.g., nosuchhost.example.com, and restart Thunderbird.
4. Call messenger.messages.getFull from an add-on on one of the messages in the account.

The promise that messenger.messages.getFull returns never resolves.

In the case of nosuchhost.example.com it should reject immediately, since the host name can't be resolved so Thunderbird should know immediately that the message can't be downloaded. This is also what should happen if, e.g., the server is reachable but Thunderbird is unable to log into the server with the stored credentials.

In the case of a mail server whose host name resolves but is unreachable, i.e., the server is offline, then I imagine the promise might take a while to reject but it really should reject at some point, not make the add-on wait for it forever.

Steps to reproduce:

In versions 117 and earlier, composing a new email or replying to an email left two blank lines. After upgrading to 118b1, composing a new email leaves no blank lines at all before the "-- " of the signature, meaning that the user has to press enter several times. Replying to an email leaves one blank line before the email being replied to. This is inconsistent and minorly inconvenient.

May we please always have two blank lines at the start of the email, before the "-- " of the signature or the email being replied to?

I have 5 mail accounts of which 4 have passwords stored one does not.
Since the Get messages icon is too small I added the Get messages button to the toolbar. After opening thunderbird and pressing this button only the messages where the password is noted stored are processed. To fetch messages from that account where the password is not stored I have to press the tiny icon button.


Actual results:

Using the Get messages button from the toolbar the messages are not fetched from the account which password is not stored.


Expected results:

Pressing the button from the toolbar all accounts should be proccessed including that with the password not stored, showing the dialog box to enter the password.
Because it is just a workaround for the small get messages icon, thas should be replaced with a Get messages button, like the New message button beside it.

If I double-click on a subject line I see a bunch of tabs opened, one for each message in the thread. I doubt this is what's supposed to happen.


Expected results:

I should see the message in normal message tree format. Sometimes I do, but I'm not sure when it works and when it doesn't work. For example, consider the what you see using the Google groups web interface at https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/_onLLh3RUO8. This is what the attachment is displaying.

The fact that View->Threads->Expand All Threads doesn't do anything is probably important.

Steps to reproduce:

I have reported a very similar problem a while ago, which got resolved (bug 1679574). Trying to use TB right after computer sleep, the application stalls repeatedly, and the only solution is to quit and restart TB. On a frequent basis this is quite annoying. Steps to reproduce:
- run TB, get new messages, etc. (all is fine)
- put the computer to sleep w/o quitting TB
- get the computer out of sleep
- in the main window select get new messages


Actual results:

TB stalls, shows a revolving / rotating icon as if it was waiting for a network connection (which is there). TB does not solve or pick-up the problem. It stays in this mode indefinitely.


Expected results:

TB should see that the network connection is present and working. If it's hung up it should be able to stop and restart it's network requests, connect to the mail server(s) and resume normal operation.
