I click 'write' but email does not open apart from widow icon on task bar.

Thunderbird Version 31.0 was working fine then suddenly whenever I click 'write' or 'reply' nothing opens but the icon on the toolbar. I can still receive emails and open them but I cannot write or send emails. I have reloaded Thunderbird but it remains the same. What do I do to return to normal service?

Second Test:
Restart Thunderbird in Safe mode.
Help > Restart with Addons disabled
Now test:
click on Write - did Write window open in the front in focus.
If yes then it is likely that an addon is causing a conflict.
You would need to test by gradually enabling addons/extensions until you find the one which is causing the problem.
Please report back on results.
In both thunderbird Safe mode and normal mode, does '''Ctrl+N''' open a new Write window in focus ?

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

    Exactly where are you clicking, you need to be specific. For example, are you using the Dock, the Applications folder, Launchpad, etc. to attempt to start teh app? Also IOS 7.1.2 does not run on a Mac, what version of OS X is installed on your computer?

I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.

    Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
    I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
    A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
    You can try to borrow and  use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
    Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

    It sounds like an issue of trying to run XI on VISTA. That combination does not work. Info on both the Acrobat full version (including sub-version) and OS would help. It might also be an issue of running 11.0.0 on a system that needs the updates to work.

  • Email does not open - "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AG...

    I bought NOKIA x2-2  Version 11.57 just a month back. Whenever I update email service and try to open email it does not open but a message comes saying "COMMUNICATION ERROR. TRY AGAIN LATER".
    Please help me to solve this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi mhkhandaker,
    Welcome to Nokia discussions board! 
    In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up,  type *#7370# on the keypad. 
    Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
    Then open the e-mail app again. 
    Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have. 
    Regards, 
    astra2025
    Press the 'Accept Solution' icon if I have solved your problem, Kudos my post if my advice has helped you!

  • I installed the new Firefox version but it does not open on screen..

    It does not automatically open on completion of the install and it does not open when I click on the logo on my desktop or Quick Start bar. It looks like it is starting but nothing happens.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.
    When I try to uninstall I have to shut down first or the uninstall tells me firefox is running. Starter manager does not show this.

    Why not?  What happens when trying to use it?
    "Will not work" is useless when asking for help.  Without specifics, no assistance can be provided.

  • Clicking the scroll wheel does not open a new firefox window

    I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I use the scroll wheel to click items in the task bar to open another instance of those items. Eg I scroll-click a Firefox or Excel or Explorer or whatever item in the taskbar, and it opens another instance of that program. I use this feature to open a new instance of FireFox rather than switching to the FF window, then using control-n to open a new window.
    I just upgraded to FireFox 6 from FF4.x. Since doing so, scroll-clicking the FF item in the taskbar does not open a new FF window. It does, well, nothing.
    I installed FF6 on a clean Win7 x86 (RTM) build in a VM. When I use the scroll-click feature in the taskbar, it works as expected: it opens a new FF window.
    Things I have tried: A different mouse; updating video drivers (I doubted this would make a difference, but it needed to be done anyway, so I thought I'd mention it); running FF in safe mode (ie with all plugins etc disabled).
    I'm doing a little experimentation right now with respect to x86/x64, RTM/SP1, clean FF6/upgrade from 4.x and other differences that might highlight why it works as expected in my VM but not on my physical machine.
    I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem since upgrading to FF6.
    Max

    Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
    Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
    My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

  • Left click on a link does not open the link; a small blue window opens saying loading then closes.

    Left click on any link in a web page does not open the link. A very small blue window appears with the word loading and a few moving dots. In a few seconds the blue window closes but the link does not open. Links used to open. If I right click the link, I can open the link in a new window. Many new windows pile up. This is a nuisance.
    I am using Firefox 3.6.8 for Canonical 1.0 in Ubuntu 9.10.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Double Click ...folder does not open, any suggestions please

    Hello,
    A new problem surfaced today on Macbook Pro (Leopard) after I allowed the system software updater to run. Of course this could be pure coincidence as I did not notice the problem until working for half a day.
    When I double click on a folder on the desktop it does not open.
    So I Ctrl-click the folder and select "open." No problem, the folder opens.
    Now when I double click on a folder within this folder it opens just fine. So the problem is confined to the desktop.
    I log out and back in and the problem goes away, but comes back after I have been working for a while.
    I disabled Spaces but it did not help.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thanks.

    I would say that this topic IS solved, unless the original poster was unable to use the solution (change the trackpad settings) successfully. I, for one, was able to, and boy am I grateful! This has happened across machines and operating systems for me, for years now, and finally I have a solution! Thank you for the helpful post(s) that helped me get my mac back on track!
