Bug: TB tries to connect to server although in Account Settings "Check for new messages" is disabled
Status: RESOLVED

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Nothing, I just updated Thunderbird.

I have an email account with lot of emails in it, but no access to the server at the moment because I stopped working there for some time. After my account got disabled some month ago, I just set the account settings not to check for new mails "at startup" and "every X minutes". And everything was fine.

linux mint, 64bit


Actual results:

Now, after updating Thunderbird I get an error message around every minute, that says: "Could not connect to mail server xxx.yyy.zzz; the connection was refused."


Expected results:

Thunderbird should just not try to connect to that server.

I tried to change the server name, remove the credentials from the password manager. nothing helped.
Bug: INBOX synchronization broken
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: WORKSFORME

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

Something I've never seen before:
I was using 122.0b1 and out of a sudden, when selecting an older message, the preview pane was showing either a blank page or HTML and JavaScript (?) things not matching the particular message. The latest messages and messages older than a couple of days were still displaying fine, the issue just applied to a period "some days ago to some hours ago". I restarted TB,  no cure. As the regular update is no longer working, I manually updated to 122.0b4 but still the same thing. The meta info for all older messages is still looking correct.
I tried to go to offline mode for several times, hoping that downloading the INBOX could fix the problem. TB says that it's doing things but nothing happens. Newly arriving messages are working as well as all other folders. And it's also not a server issue as everything is working fine when I launch Apple Mail (which I don't like too much).
I moved the local INBOX file(s) away and went to offline mode. TB apparently downloaded something as the file filled up but I still can't see my messages.
How can I do a complete re-sync of my INBOX?


Actual results:

see above


Expected results:

Nothing should have happened at all.
Bug: Menu bar "Compact" button generates error if an account is selected - Command Argument Error. 11.
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: WORKSFORME
Created: 2024-01-16 12:31:33+00:00
Resolved: 2024-12-13 13:01:46+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

create an account with IMAP e.g. @hotmail.com in my case.

Make sure to have the "Compact" button on the menu bar above.
Select the account in the left tree (not a folder, the main account) and press the compact button, this will throw the error message:

The current operation on <email@hotmail.com> did not succeed. The mail server for account <email@hotmail.com> responded: Command Argument Error. 11.


Actual results:

The above happened.


Expected results:

I would have expected this button to behave in the same way as the right-click context-menu "compact" because if you take that action on the account it actually starts compacting all folders.

The Menu button "Compact" only seems to work on a selected folder, not on the full account and/or do a full "Compact All"
Bug: [Linux][KDE] Quickfilter keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+K is sometimes broken, conflict with Konqueror
Status: REOPENED
Priority: --
Created: 2024-01-16 12:53:28+00:00

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

In Thunderbird 115.6.0, the quickfilter does not always show when I type ctrl+shift+K.

FYI I use the quickfilter far more frequently than the 'message search'. The latter I find to be clunky and slow by comparison. It is critical, in my view, for usability, that the quickfilter is prominently displays and highly keyboard-accessible. 

Something in the recent UI changes has messed this up (like the ctrl+PgDn shortcut, also messed up, when switching away from the main tab)


Actual results:

Under some circumstances, ctrl+shift+K does *NOT* display and focus the quickfilter input textbox.

Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It would appear that there is/are some other event handler(s) that are sometimes catching and swallowing the ctrl+shift+K event. I don't know what those other events might be, or how to test them.


Expected results:

It should always work!

Bug: Compose windows menus and toolbars colours with Ubuntu / POP OS
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: FIXED
Created: 2024-01-17 12:38:50+00:00
Resolved: 2024-08-22 11:07:48+00:00

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

The menus and toolbars of the compose email and compose calendar event pop-up windows have the wrong colours when running in the Ubuntu Unity desktop environment. This makes the items in these hard to read. Please see the attached screenshots.

A related question is whether these pop-up windows should have menus at all? The main email and calendar windows do not have menus. Instead, their menu items have been moved to the hamburger menu at the top right. The Firefox web browser does likewise. Should the compose email and compose calendar event pop-up windows also have their menus moved to the hamburger menu?
Bug: Deleting or moving a message from the message list pane, message preview for next message is slow, up to 2 minutes to appear.  Progress bar is in "indeterminate" state
Status: NEW
Priority: P2

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/119.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open TB (classic view).  In any folder containing more than one message, including Inbox or any subfolder, delete a message or move a message to another folder (drag and drop to the folder tree pane). In the top right message list pane, the selected message correctly moves to the next relevant message in the list. However, the message preview pane (bottom right) fails to display the appropriate message.

If you group messages (multi-select using ctrl+select) and move those, the messages can sometimes take a long time to move, seemingly the move has not occurred.

Other actions, such as scrolling the message pane, selecting a drop-down menu, etc, are not affected and the program does not appear to have otherwise frozen.


Actual results:

The newly-focused message preview eventually appears, this may take anything up to 30 seconds.  This delay often occurs, however, the correct behaviour (immediate display of the preview) can also occur. I have not managed to track down the difference between the two behaviours.

If you group messages (multi-select usign ctrl+select) and move the grouped messages to another folder, the messages can sometimes take a long time to move, seemingly the move has not occurred.

Sometimes, having moved or deleted messages, then selecting a message in the message list pane will cause the message details (from/to/subject etc) to instantly change to  read other details, although the position of that message on the screen has not changed.

When the immediate preview display fails, manually selecting a different message will also fail to immediately display the preview text for that message

This is in 115.6.1.  After deleting or moving messages, the CPU usage increases and I am fairly sure these two events are linked.  The CPU reduces again after a minute or two.  (115 uses a higher CPU load anyway than my previous pre-update version (68).)

It also occurred in 115.6.0 but was not fixed by the high CPU fix.

Windows 10 Home.


Expected results:

The new message preview should appear immediately on selection of the next relevant message.
Bug: searching directory popup during message compose
Status: NEW

Resolved: 2024-10-14 15:17:46+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

when composing a reply to a message with several contacts that are not in my addressbook, but rather in my company's ldap system, i briefly get a pop that says TB is searching the directory.  which is fine.  however, when it does this the pop steals focus from the window and i end up typing into another window or something. 

it's super annoying, not only that there's a popup, but it's also usually 1-2seconds after the compose window opens, so i've already started typing my reply.  which is then messed up because of the window focus stealing



Expected results:

can the popup be turned off
Bug: Occasionally loses IMAP connection with Zoho (zoho.com)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Priority: --
Created: 2024-01-17 19:22:34+00:00
Resolved: 2024-03-07 22:18:00+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

(Note: this is similar to bug 1745668, except that was resolved, and I have experienced this behavior for years.)

I normally have a Thundebird session open with Zoho (either imap.zoho.com or imappro.zoho.com - both take me to the same back end). In another window, I have a browser open to my Zoho mail. My wife also uses Thunderbird with Gmail on Ubuntu, and this does not happen to her. One of my colleagues uses Outlook with Zoho, and this does not happen to him, So this is some interaction between Thunderbird (maybe just on Linux) and Zoho.

Over the last several years, I have used several Ubuntu versions, as well as Arch Linux and derivatives. I am always current with Thunderbird releases installed from my distro's package manager. This happens with all of them. This is so intermittent that I have so far opted to live with it instead of reporting it, but finally decided to report it.


Actual results:

Occasionally, Thunderbird fails to pick up new messages. I can see them on the browser window, but even after a few minutes, Thunderbird won't see them. Even after manually telling it to check for new messages, it doesn't see them. Exiting and restarting Thunderbird finds the messages.


Expected results:

Thunderbird should pick up new messages when it next does an IMAP check with the server.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have an email message open either in a tab or in a separate window. When I press Ctrl-W to close the tab or window, Thunderbird can be very slow to close the tab or window. Sometimes (not every time) it can take up to 2 seconds to close.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

- With no active Firefox window, clickon a link on a Thunderbird message.


Actual results:

Firefox window opens, but the requested web page does not appear.  If I type an URL and hit enter, the URL disappears, and the Firefox page remains on the home page.


Expected results:

I expect the target of the link on the Thunderbird message to appear.  Additional information:

- If I first initiate Firefox (from command line or desktop/panel icon, not from Thunderbird), then clicking on a link within a Thunderbird message works as I expect it to:  the requested web page is displayed.

- Firefox is my default browser.

- The errors shown (which appears many times) are:

- Don't know if it matters, but Sandbox settings are all true or zero, except for Win32k Lockdown (disabled because not relevant to Linux).

It appears to be a permission error on the fork statement.  Apparmor and SELinux are not active.  Starting Thunderbird in safe mode does not help.

It is possible it is due to my environment, but don't know where to look, debug, or what to change.

I was asked to open this 2nd bug, which is related to bug# 1866991.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:120.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/120.0

Steps to reproduce:

My government branch now requires local clients to install a root CA, in order to inspect HTTPS traffic for malware, as well as DLP. If this root CA is not installed on a client system, or it is installed but the application does not utilize it, HTTPS access to the net is impossible.

Officially we used Firefox as the default browser and Thunderbird as the default email client. Once the above change took place and after including the root CA to the Windows system certificate store, we noticed that communication was not possible for both of them.

We found that by setting `security.enterprise_roots.enabled` to `true`, via a branch-wide GPO, the issue was resolved for Firefox. Thunderbird with  `security.enterprise_roots.enabled`  set could download extensions, open its home page (or any URL in its place) but was still unable to:
* check for program updates (issue hunted down as the afore-mentioned bug) and
* download extension **updates**

Steps to reproduce in our environment:

1 Open TB that has at least one extension for which an update exists
2 Try to update the extension

Actual results:

3 extension is not updated

Expected results:

3 The extension should be updated
