Thunderbird email display tiny.

Migrated from older mac to new 5K. Other apps are fine, but Thunderbird email is tiny, and resist all effort to enlarge.
Any ideas?

  • My thunderbird email inbox wont display

    Hi there !
    Suddenly my Thunderbird email inbox doesn't display . Usually I would open my email via the blue bird button , it would automatically open to inbox with messages on the Right , folders , sub folders etc on the Left .
    when i open now I get a plain white screen with Thunderbird mail sent at the top , Accounts and Advanced features displaying , It also asks me if I want to create a new address etc .
    I have no idea why this has happened .
    Any help appreciated Caroline

  • Thunderbird: Email contents display as blank after renaming or deleting a folder

    After deleting or renaming an email folder we find that, on choosing another folder, all email is blank. That is the headers are displayed correctly but on clicking these to view the message body the lower panel is entirely blank. This applies to all subsequent folders selected.
    On closing and re-opening ThunderBird the folders and email display correctly again.
    We wound back to an earlier version and the problem does not exist. Have switched off updating.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Details:
    We have this problem with version 28.X to present, including Betas.
    No problem with version 24.X and earlier.
    imap using Dovecot 2.2.10 on Centos 7.0.1406
    Many thanks,
    Ewan Crawford

    Dear Matt,
    Very many thanks indeed for your quick reply. We have tried that, but no luck I'm afraid. Only closing and re-opening Thunderbird gets round this problem.
    I am aware that the page
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Disappearing_mail
    advises closing and re-opening, but we'd like to avoid this if possible.
    Best wishes,
    Ewan

  • Emails display in Gmail from wrong sender on iPhone only

    This is a weird one.  iPhone 6 running 8.0.2.  I've had every iPhone since 2007 and have never seen this before.  My 6 has been rock solid since I picked it up on launch day.
    I shipped a package via USPS, and signed up for tracking updates via email to my main Gmail account, which I've done 100 times.  Yesterday morning I received one of the tracking emails...the sender displays as [email protected] in my inbox with the subject line as "USPS Shipment Info for <tracking number>".  All good and normal.
    Here's the weird thing - the next 6 emails received directly after that one ALSO display as coming from [email protected] with that same subject line, even though they are really from various senders - Groupon, BestBuy, MLB, etc.  When I tap one of those messages to read it, it still shows the USPS sender and subject, but actual the body of the email is correct and as it should be - Groupon, BestBuy, etc.  Restarting the phone had no effect.
    When I view that Gmail inbox on my iPad or on a full browser on my desktop computer, those emails display properly, and don't have the rogue USPS info associated with them.  Nothing has changed with this Gmail account, and this phone was set up from my iPhone 5's last backup, which never had this issue.  All emails received since yesterday morning are behaving normally.
    Do I call this a weird glitch and just move on?  Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any idea what might have caused it?  Thanks!

    I did saw this on my phone when i first install iOS 8 on iPhone 5. But haven't see it after 8.0.1 or 8.1 update. It was rare though.
    I do have this new issue on 8.1.1 that is somewhat related to this. I hope others can chime in.
    I have gmail on my phone.
    Delete a few emails from inbox.
    then when i go into mail -> Accounts -> All Mail -> and move what i deleted back into Gmail inbox, 75% of the time, the moved email will have the wrong 'sender'. It will pick one of the recipient as a sender to display.
    However, when i go into gmail from a desktop computer, it will show the CORRECT original sender.
    I even restarted the phone and same error.
    If I forward the email, the CORRECT original sender will be shown.
    This bug does not happen on Yahoo or iCloud mail.
    Is anyone having this issue? 

  • Thunderbird email links will no longer open on the Firefox browser. (I have to use another browser to open email links.)

    Since a recent update (either for Firefox or Thunderbird, don't remember which), links in my Thunderbird emails will not open in Firefox. I can't even open the Thunderbird "help" link. In desperation, I installed Opera, and the email links work perfectly well. There seems to be some sort of disconnect between Thunderbird and Firefox.

    I fixed this myself. You have to ensure that Firefox is the default browser. In the Firefox menu (maybe under Edit if you are running Linux) go to Preferences. Click "Advanced" then in the "General" tab click the button toward the bottom that says "Check now" and Firefox will automatically check if it is the default browser and, if it is not, ask you if you want to make it default. Answer "yes" to this question.

  • I'm using a PC that has his my relative's old Thunderbird email account loaded on. He doesn't need it any more. How do I swap it over into my name?

    I have taken over use of my elderly relative's PC (Windows 7). He had a Thunderbird email account set up but he will no longer need it. I have tried deleting the Thunderbird programme from the PC and then loading it up agaiun but my Uncle's memail account details are still there. Is there a simple way to change his account details over to one under my own name?

    see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Types-of-Accounts#w_mail-accounts here ]for explanation of IMAP and POP. Even though it is a little long, it was a basic as I could make it.
    The warning is safe to ignore. We have some people working on Thunderbird with a very German view of security and privacy. It works out well for making Thunderbird secure and safeguarding privacy. Not so well for warnings people do not understand.
    In this case the warning is telling you your user name and password as well as all your mail is going to and from the server as plain text, so if someone wanted to they would have no trouble sniffing the traffic to read your mail or get your login credentials. ISPs did it this way in the past as a matter of course, as it reduces support calls and they claim the traffic is only internal to their network. Not a good argument given that Google and Yahoo as well as Microsoft are all taking steps to ensure all internal traffic is encrypted.
    But knowing the risk, ignoring the warning is not really an issue. Most mail after all is the most boring read to anyone else. However if your a Doctor or a scientist doing secret research then plain text email is not really going to cut it anyway.

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • Import Mail and Contacts, from Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email to New iPad Air

    Just got a New iPad Air, and I want to import all of my email & contacts (email addresses) from a Windows XP-based Thunderbird Email program.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thank you in advance!

    Do you have all messages left on the server? Then you can simply set-up your Gmail account as IMAP account.

  • Wrong email display name with german umlauts (MS Exchange 2003)

    We use 6 iPhones with Exchange 2003 and get wrong email display names with german umlauts (ä,ü,ö) - but the email-body is right.
    We get special characters instead of umlauts, so the display name split into pieces. Anwering is not posipble - we get a failure-message.
    We changed the standard-internet-mailformat on the exchange-server to unicode utf-8. First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again.
    So we use this hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B916299&x=11&y=13
    Same result: First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again at the iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    Do you have commas in the display name? We used to have "Müller, Thomas" <[email protected]> and then got the split up and special characters you mention. Tests have shown that when leaving out the comma in the display name, e.g. "Thomas Müller" <[email protected]>, everything worked fine.
    Guess it's a question of whether a company wants to change its naming convention for a few iPhone users...

  • IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

    IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
    Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

    This happens to me all the time.
    If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
    I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

  • Transfer Multiple Thunderbird emails Accounts to Microsoft Outlook 2013

    I am using multiple email accounts on Thunderbird in my office.Now i want to shift my mails to MS Outlook.but the problem is that MS Outlook is creating different PST files from different accounts.i want to retrieve my mails in single PST Files.
    I also searched but there is no manual method.I heard that third party tool can do this.can anyone suggest right utility for this.
    My data is very confidential and there should not be any loss in mails.
    I am also attaching my Thunderbird email location with screenshot.

    Manual method is a difficult task .You can easily transfer your mails from the Thunderbird to MS Outlook using third party conversion software.i faced the same problem.i tried the following utility. It converts all my Thunderbird accounts to a single PST.you can also try the free demo version of the software.

  • Unable to change outgoing email display name on 9930. Only displays email address to clients

    I have tried to change my outgoing email display name to my name but when I delete the email address on username field and input my name it says "not a valid email address". Tried on the Blackberry website with my profile and on my handheld device. Why is this so difficult? I can't send emails to clients as on their end it just shows my email address in the from field and not my full name. My email account name on my Blackberry shows the full name I want to display, but it keeps defaulting to my username, which is my email address. I have a 9930 that is two years old. Thanks.

        Hi Cltclt,
    Thanks for the details! When did this issue start? Is your Blackberry on a Blackberry Enterprise server from your company? Is this an outlook Microsoft Exchange email account? This may help with changing your settings:
    Change options for your personal email account
    You can change options for each personal email account that you added to your BlackBerry® smartphone. You can create email filters, synchronize your contacts, change your signature or display name, and more.
      • On the Home screen, click the Messages icon.
      •  Press the  key > Options > Email Account Management.
      • Click the email account that you want to change options for.
    Thanks,

  • Body of email displayed is not from the sender in the header

    I could not find anything about this in a search, and a visual scan of the discussions.
    After two weeks of being shut down (vacation), and occasionally during that time accessing email through dotMac, I encountered the following when I restarted my home desktop.
    Some of the emails have a body and a heading that do not match. The body, whether HTML or Rich Text, is clearly from a different email than the header. And, to emphasize, this is not ALL the email, only SOME of them (I cannot discern a pattern here!).
    The same emails display just fine through the online dotMac Safari window, the body being from the corresponding sender (I keep them stored on the server).
    So, something happens to SOME of the emails when downloading from the server to my computer. This body/header incongruity still happens to SOME emails that come through now, days after the initial restart.
    Perhaps related - there were a lot of emails to download/sync. Mail crashed OFTEN until the accounts synced with the server. (I sent MANY crash reports to Apple). I worked through dotMac Mail in Safari to delete/read/respond/etc.; Mail finally quit crashing when the number of new emails was greatly reduced.
    Observations? Solutions? Please Help!

    No, I have never had a response that even offered a suggestion until just today. The problem never "self-corrected" - even though I use IMAP, those emails, when displayed on my computer had the incongruity between the header and the body as I described.
    Since it has been up and going, all subsequent emails have been OK. It was just that initial restart/sync after the desktop had been shut down, for several weeks, and I had accessed the mail online while gone.
    I see there is a post after yours about trashing the plist. Maybe I'll try that, but it seems to not be an issue now.

  • Finder: Right Click to send file as attachment of new thunderbird email

    Hi,
    I am working with Thunderbird.
    To open Thunderbird from the Terminal with a new message and an attachment, I have to write in Terminal:
    /Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin -compose attachment='/Users/JoergMeier/Documents/2010/OpenOfficeHilfeInhaltsVerzeichnis. pdf'
    Now I would like to add an action to the context menu, to use in finder, to send the marked file as attachment of a new thunderbird email.
    How can I do this?
    Automator?
    Thx
    Joerg

    That service is hard-coded to Mail and can't be changed through any user setting. Try this workaround:
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2010/11/create-a-service-to-attach-files-to-a-ne w-outlook-for-mac-mail-message/
    If Library in Automator does not list Microsoft Outlook, the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" action should be listed in the second pane (along with all the other Microsoft application actions).
    Regards.
