New version of thunderbird strange sending action

Hi, TB upgraded today to 31.3.0 and ever since then, if I wish to reply to someone for whom I have an account (non-receiving) set-up, it sends from that person to me, not from me to that person.
Example, I have an account for my friend, Victor, because sometimes I send the occasional message in his name, after setting up desired formatting, etc. Well now, trying to reply to Victor's note to me, it automatically makes the Sender "Victor" (instead of me) and me the recipient.
I'm finding it doing variations of this issue at various times now. I reverted back to a previous version, but for some reason the "New Message" (or Reply) style still looks the same as how it appeared with 31.3.0 (different from before) and it does the same thing. PLEASE HELP! If this keeps up, I will be unable to continue using Thunderbird.
Thank you.
Sara

Sorry for panicking, everyone. I'm still with TB... just learning to pay more attention to the "From" sender before sending the message out. I hope this glitch can be corrected on the next release. Or is there a way to set an automatic sender that will cover even "strange" situations like this one? In general I am default, but unpredictably it registers as someone else sending (simply because I have to have sending capability for that person on occasion), and it's very bad and bothersome when it happens, particularly if I don't catch it.

In the new version of Thunderbird it seems impossible to set that attachments are shown as"Read only". It was possible in previous versions. Can anybody help?

In previous version of Thunderbird it was possible to set that incoming attachments are shown as "Read only". The solution was to set browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit as TRUE. In the latest version, no matter how I set this value,. the attachments ARE NOT shown as Read Only. As I need my attachments to be shown as Read Only, I had to restore older versions of Thunderbird. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this in the new version of Thunderbird ?

I don't see a solution on these links. I am not a computer expert, but it was easy to fix in previous versions of Thunderbird. I can't do it now with the latest version, on either Windows 7 or 8.

In new version of Thunderbird it's not possible to define file types to be recognized automatic - because of this files are automatically opened while sending

When I send attachments - for example graphic file (.mi extension from CoCreate's Designer drafting program) Thunderbird "opens" it (while sending it) as it is text file and thus makes teh message long (thousands of rows). I'm now solving this so that I make zip file. Also, there is no problems with Word's, Excel's, Adobe's files which are recognized automatically by Thunderbird.
In old versions of Thunderbird I've just defined the type of each file extension (which was not recognized automatically by Thunderbird) and Thunderbird didn't open an attachment while sending the mail. In last version there is no such possibility and this is a step back.
I'm sending you an example...
Thank you for your answer,

I can understand that its a bit iritating, but I dont think your email is larger than if it wasnt showing. look at "show code" and compare. Your .mi-file has to be sent within the email, either in plain view or hidden.

New version of Thunderbird has limited the size of the drop-down that shows my open emails. How do I change it back to show all open ones?

There is an icon in the upper right corner that, when clicked on, drops down a list of open emails (i.e. a list of tabs). In the previous version of Thunderbird it would expand (vertically) to list all emails. However now it is a set vertical size and this is terrible and basically defeats the purpose. The purpose of that drop down was so that I did not have to scroll through all my open tabs to find an email. Now I have to do that again, as it is a set vertical size with arrows up and down to scroll through the list. How do I get the old functionality back, or solve my problem of somehow seeing a list of all open tabs? Thanks!

Is there a setting in about:config that controls the length of the alltabs list? I would look for such a thing, and change the setting if it is there. A setting of -1 should make it limitless.

New version of Thunderbird (24.5) does not download e-mail -

When prompted to get mail, says it's connected to gmail or other server, does not send log-in info, does not retrieve messages.
What is happening, how can I correct this?

Check to see if your firewall is blocking Thunderbird after the upgrade. I have had two people fix this problem by resetting their firewall to Allow for Thunderbird.

Trying to import address books and templates from old Netscape Communicator 4.8 to Thunderbird. What old version of Thunderbird to use ( new version wont do

Been using Communicator 4.8 for years. Working fine had no reason to change. But now security settings wont work with yahoo pop server.
Want to import my address books and templates to thunderbird.
New version of Thunderbird 31.0 doesn't have import for communicator that old. Earlier versions do.
Figured I'd use old version of thunderbird to import and then update thunderbird to 31.00
Tried thunderbird 3.0 which has importer for 4.73 but getting error message that it is having trouble. Anyone know last version of thunderbird that had netscape 4.8 importer ? Thought maybe a later version would be able to import and then update to newest thunderbird.
Thanks

1 - there is no importing involved - you NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
2 - you have to run programs after you download them - go to your applications folder ==> utilities and launch the library upgrader -- Then launch iPhoto to complete the upgrade

Checking for updates tells me that current version 17.0 is the latest when I know there is a new version. How do I update?

When I check for updates in Thunderbird, it tells me the version is 17.0 and that this is the latest version. I checked on the Mozilla website and the latest version to download is 24.5.0. How can I upgrade to the new version without having to download the entire program from scratch? I am running OS X 10.9.3
Thanks

Why the objection to "downloading the whole program from scratch"?
How do you know this isn't what your Updates Manager does anyway?
If there is no update path using a patch from one version to another, then you ''have'' to download the installer for the newer version. In this case there would be no "upgrade" path; it would be a re-install.
It is an ongoing irritation with Thunderbird that occasionally there is a version change which the old version doesn't "see" and so you have to download the new version. Possibly this is deliberate to force a complete reinstallation rather than apply a patch, perhaps because there has been some fundamental change which is beyond the capability of a patch. In the past, some updates have changed the profile structure, and the new version of Thunderbird "knows" how to update the profile too.
But reinstalling "from scratch" is no big deal; your data is stored separately in Thunderbird's [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb?esab=a&s=profiles&r=1&as=s profile], which persists from one install to another. Indeed, you can uninstall Thunderbird, install a newer version at some later time, and it'll pick up your old profile and work as if nothing had happened.

After upgrade to 10.10, can't send email (SMTP cert. error). On previous version running on another machine, can still send find. This new version is missing the "Usual Ports" checkbox option. Can someone please help?

I just upgraded to 10.10. On the mail program, one of my accounts is having an issue sending email. I am getting the following error message:
The certificate for this server is invalid.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
But on another machine running Mavericks, I can still continue to send email. The same is try from my iPhone 5S.
On that machine running Mavericks the SMTP is configured as SSL and for "Usual Ports" (25, 465, 587) but THIS OPTION IS MISSING ON THE NEW VERSION. On the new version I have tried configuring the port to 25 and then 465 and 587 with no success. I have used the Network Utility to see if my provider is blocking me -- it is not. I have no third-party software on this machine (anti virus). I can receive email fine. On the new Yosemitie Mail there are new checkbox options of Automatically check my settings and Allow unsecure connections. I tried to uncheck SSL for SMTP but then it says it cannot send securely my passowrd and i need to check the option "Allow to send unsecurely". I did that but the same error message keeps appearing. So I have tried nearly everything I have been able to, all to no avail. Please can somebody help?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is a POP account. Incoming mail is fine. My port for incoming is also 110. But the outgoing port should be 587 (or 24, 465 and 587 as on Mavericks' "Usual Ports" option). I am using the same configuration across three different devices and only the machine running Yosemite is having issues. I notice in the new version of Mail there is no longer the "Usual Ports" option. I am not sure this is the culprit or not. But the fact is no matter how I configure it, it will not send mail for these particular servers. I have multiple clients and only one is affected, meaning I can send email from other email addresses (different hosting contracts) on Yosemite but on this one particular one I cannot.

Sometimes when I send a Pages attachment I can't open it afterwards. I get a message saying I need a newer version of Pages to open it. I find this odd since I created the document. How can I get the attachment open?

Sometimes when I send an email with a Pages attachment it is tuned into a zip file and then I am unable to open the atttachment afterwards. I get a message saying I need a newer version of Pages in order to open the attachment. How can I get around this?

Carol,
The message saying you need a newer version indicates that you saved from a newer version and tried to open with an older version. This has nothing directly to do with whether the file was compressed and packaged in a .zip file.
If you have two versions of Pages on your computer, you must take care to note which of them you are using. You may want to delete a Dock alias to the older version and you may need to change the Finder preference for which version is set to automatically open .pages files.

My Thunderbird has stopped downloading messages--how can I get it to function again. I have rebooted and downloaded a new version.

I disconnected my antivirus (Norton) and tried again, with no luck. Thunderbird says that I have 10 messages and tries to download, but then hangs up and quits. This happened all of a sudden with no seeming cause.

Thanks for trying to help, but the instructions (see below) are too complicated for me to follow. So I'll just have to leave my Thunderbird with its broken wings alone until perhaps a new version comes out in which this problem is resolved. I never experienced it before--until I installed Windows 8.1 (so maybe that's the problem!).

Sending instant messages through yahoo email with new version of firefox

i cannot send instant messages through yahoo email in new version of firefox,how do i correct this problem

Hi hwkangel,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
The bug has already been fixed. So you can download the FF 10 beta if it is a really important feature for you.
Hopefully this helps!

I have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all. can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button

Ever since I agreed to install the new Mozilla Firefox I can't even send an e-mail successfully. I want the old Mozilla Firefox back and I will never agree to a newer version of anything. Please give me the old version back.

I want my old Mozilla Firefox back because ever since I agreed to try the new Firefox, I've had nothing but problems every single time I try to send an e-mail. What used to be easy and quick, now is difficult and takes an inordinate amount of time; sending it over and over, and telling the message that tells me something like a page is not responding, to send it again or quit; and I have to do this many times over to get it to send a text. That has never happened before. I will never agree to a newer version again. Just please give me back my old Mozilla Firefox.

RediffMail new version send mail not wrkg

Using the new version of rediffmail, I am unable to send an email frm my iPad 2.0 browser. Any issues with Ajax prism n iPad ?? Anyone tried this successfully ??

I guess I figured it out. My settings were saving sent email to server (I was really convinced this was the right setting). By changing this setting my sent mail is saved in the sent directory.
Thnx for setting my on the right track
What are your Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox
Behaviors > Sent settings?
In the Finder, go to
~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver/
. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All
(⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it
in your reply to this post to let me see the names of
the files and folders it contains -- you may disguise
any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
Note: For those not familiarized with the
~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home
folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder
within the user’s home folder.
