Mozilla-thunderbird and RSS

Hi,
when I'm using thunderbird from arch pkg I don't have option to create RSS account (File -> New ->Account...     opens window where I can choose email or news gruoups).  When I use release from Mozilla page in popup window I can choose also 'Movemail' and 'RSS'. Is thunderbird in ARCH changed or its some bug?

Thunderbird still works for me in terms of RSS and I can get all of my other feeds other than the Arch Linux package feed. I know this is somehow a limitation of the Thunderbird RSS way of reading things or perhaps the Arch package itself which I am using as even the AUR package list works fine.
Is it in the works to get this working? The reason why I switched all my mail from Evolution to Thunderbird was so that I could have a mail client and RSS reader in one instead of using 2 separate apps (I was using Liferea before which is a very good reader in its own right).
So, I'm wondering if this is a dead issue or if there is still hope for this Arch package to work correctly.

  • Entourage and Mozilla Thunderbird and back.

    For a while I was using Entourage but decided to move to Mozilla Thunderbird and it's been ok but now I want to move all my email address's and all the folders where I store email back to Entourage. Someone was kind enough to inform me on how to get them from Entourage to T'Bird but now the question is how to get them back as I had deleted them in Entourage once I had them in T-Bird and over time more have been created.

  • Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox

    Hey guys,
    I use Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox but cannot sync any of my settings with them unless I have Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook or Windows Mail.
    I choose to use Firefox because it is safer and easier to use than Internet Explorer and Thunderbird because it is hugely better than Windows Mail.
    What I want to ask is if you guys could please add syncing support between the iPhone and my laptop for these two great products, I am sure I am not the only one out there using these.

    Suggestions to Apple are best submitted via their feedback pages:

  • Mozilla Thunderbird and Creating Scripts

    I would like to create a script for Mozilla Thunderbird. In addition to

  • Mozilla Thunderbird and Time Machine

    I can't find anything else about it in here, but my question is-----------Does Time Machine work with Mozilla Thunderbird?  I've been using it for about three months now, and today I looked in my Time Machine and I can't see where it's backing up my emails.  I also have Mac Mail enabled, so I can get them there if I have to, but I prefer using T-Bird.  I checked in the TM preferences, and there is nothing on the excluded list, so it's not that.

    Thanks.  After playing around with it for a bit, I can see that searching for anything is a real krap shoot in T-Bird.  There's no way I can see to easily find much of anything unless you have the specific title or content of a message, looking for old messages.  I was using Mail before, but I had a problem with it that I was unable to resolve---about every 3 months or so everything in my Inbox and Sent folder more than 3 or 4 days old would simply vanish.  I was unable to just do a rebuild---it had no effect.  So I would go into TM and just restore it from a day or two before it happened and then put the restored items back into the correct folders.  It was just that after this happened 3 or 4 times I got tired of fooling around with it and started using T-Bird.
    Looks like now I need to try Mac Mail again or just give up and revert to using my email accounts as webmail.  I had posted another thread about the Mail problem but no one in here was able to figure it out either.

  • Clipboard and Mozilla Thunderbird

    I can't create a Transrerable object, using text/html, that Thunderbird composer can read. If I copy someth�ng from the Thunderbird composer, run the following lines
    Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    Clipboard cb = tk.getSystemClipboard();
    cb.setContents(cb.getContents(null), null);
    and tries to past it back in the composer, nothing happens. (Paste whithout formatting, however, works). It's no problem to paste to Word, Excell och Outlook.

  • Provider won't recognize Mozilla Thunderbird

    Have been using MT for 2 years and my provider went down, now I can't send or receive and I get a timed out box in the lower right corner. Stepped up the timed out from 100 to 1000, still times out. Called my provider (Charter.net) and re-opened My Charter email. Charter works fine but I don't like it as well as Mozilla Thunderbird. and I don't have my contacts in Charter. I have removed MT twice and re installed it twice. Charter says they can't help although in my mind they are to blame. Need thoughts or suggestions. Thanks Clayton

    ''Charter works fine ...''
    From your description it isn't quite clear what your problem is.
    ''I have removed MT twice and re installed it twice.''
    What were you trying to achieve with this?
    ''Charter says they can't help''
    Help with what?
    Please state in more detail what your problem is. Troubleshooting Information would probably be useful as well.

  • Icloud Ical Iphone and Mozilla Thunderbird Lightning Notifications:

    I would like to ask a question about Icloud and Mozilla Thunderbird Notifications:
    I Have setup Icloud calendars which are using the CALDAV protocol in Mozilla Thunderbird. It is currently working in the testing builds of Mozilla Thunderbird Lightning Calendar Extension.
    My Question is,
    When I have a calendar event that is created on either the iphone or mozilla lightning, the problem is that it is notified twice on mozilla lightning and then it is notified on the calendar on the iphone as well. They are notified at the same time great!!! two places at once.. thats cool... but...
    Can I get it notify on both devices, and then dismiss it on the iphone, which is then dismissed automatically on mozilla lightning because i dismissed the notification event on the iphone and if i do the same thing on the computer..
    I reported to Mozilla as being a bug.. and they couldn't help me resolve the problem because they need more info from apple...
    Is there a way for this to be fixed with more information from apple..

  • Really Close to dumping Mozilla Thunderbird. The slowness is just not worth the hassle and the support sucks.

    I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for many years. It has always been a good system. Now, I get so when I hit delete, it takes a minute or two to delete the e-mail. I have tried to follow all the instructions on the help system and have turned off Mcafee each time I try to read my mail.
    I am not a expert in computers but can usually follow directions fairly well. The fact that Mazilla's help system rely on asking questions of a group does not make it any easier to fix these issues. I see the same questions being asked by multiple people without clear answers to why this is happening.
    Unfortunately, if this issue is not resolved shortly, I am going to have to dump Mozilla for another system..

    Saying The support sucks is not exactly being polite towards those whom you expect some free help. I prefer to think that you are just frustrated and the offensive remark was unintentional.
    It would be useful if you could provide some information about your situation, system etc
    You have McAfee and say you ''turn it off'' when reading emails, you do not need to turn it off entirely, just stop it scanning emails. This will mean you do not have to keep switching it on and off.
    Here are the instructions for doing this.
    * https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee
    Please provide the following information, so that it is possible to get an understanding of your situation and setup:
    * What OS do you use?
    * What version of Thunderbird?
    * Is this an IMAP or POP mail account which has the issue?
    * If IMAP- is it a gmail account?
    * Do you have one or more mail accounts?
    * How frequently do you compact your folders?
    * When did last empty and compact your Deleted folder?
    * Do you have many folders?
    re: the Inbox
    * Is this folder used as an Inbox for new incoming mail with only a few emails in it or is it used to store a load of emails?
    * Have you set up Archive Options to archive by month and retain folder structure?
    * Do you Archive emails older than eg: a month, two months?
    Please answer the above queries, so the forum understands your current situation.

  • Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

    Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
    Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
    The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
    I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
    As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
    THE PROBLEM
    Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
    emails.
    When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
    My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
    WHAT HAVE I TRIED
    I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
    All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
    How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
    I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
    I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
    I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
    OTHER INFO
    Computer Details;-
    "Old" laptop;-
    Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
    "New" laptop;-
    Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
    Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
    Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
    Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
    1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
    2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
    3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
    4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
    5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
    6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
    7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
    8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
    9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
    10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
    Thanks in advance....

    Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
    All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
    You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
    Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
    Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

  • I can't send email in Thunderbird and I have tried all suggested fixes I can find!

    I moved Thunderbird from my old MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro (I have done this before with no problems).
    I updated Thunderbird on both laptops before I did this - to version 31.0
    The new machine's running Mavericks 10.9.4
    I started to notice intermittent problems with sending email - this seemed to free up when I opened up my BT email account (the account that 'feeds' Thunderbird) and then resent the email in Thunderbird.
    This 'fix' has now stopped working and all I continually get when trying to send is the message:
    'Send Message Error
    The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.btinternet.com failed.
    The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.' (etc.)
    I checked with both Mozilla and BT forums/help pages, then went to Thunderbird>Tools>Account settings>Outgoing Server(SMTP)>Edit
    I then changed the settings to those recommended by both BT and Mozilla:
    Server Name: mail.btinternet.com
    Port - 465
    Security - SSL/TLS
    Authentication - normal password
    User Name - (my user name)
    I also tried many variations (including the original settings)
    Server Name: mail.btinternet.com
    Port - 587
    Security - none
    Authentication - password transmitted insecurely
    User Name - (my user name)
    I tried deleting my password and then doing the above all again.
    I tried turning the router off and back on and doing the above all again.
    Nothing - apart from not being able to send email Thunderbird's working fine with incoming, I really think I've tried everything I can. Can I delete my prefs - will this help? Is there anything I've missed? I've wasted 4 hours and it feels like 4 days!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Error message as above and below:
    'Send Message Error
    The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.btinternet.com failed.
    The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.' (etc.)
    BT won't deal with this - they redirect me to a 'partner' who want to charge to discuss the problem. Nice, eh!

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!
