Timezone (in Pan, Thunderbird,..)

Hi!
I've got a bit of a problem with my timezone in Archlinux. Mails I send and receive with Thunderbird always have the wrong timestamp (and the same holds true for usenet articles): current time (Europe, Brussels), minus one hour. My BIOS clock is correctly set, I've got this in /etc/rc.conf :
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE=/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Brussels
the date command gives the correct time, the gnome-clock applet gives the right time.. I don't know what else I have to set to get a correct time in the applications I use. I've tried using UTC in /etc/rc.conf, but it didn't help. Is there another variable I should set?

I've tried.. GDM Login screen and the date command: time = current time + one hour. Everything else (including the gnome clock applet!) shows the correct time.
The clock in my BIOS is set to my current local time. I've also got Windows installed, I've already noticed that Windows can mess up your time settings, but if I don't boot into it, it can't change anything, can it?
Regards, and thanks for the help!
Edit:
Replied too soon, Gaim also shows the wrong time (+1).
Edit2:
I think i've got it now.. I've read Windows sets the system clock to time it uses, so I've tried setting the BIOS clock one hour back. Everything shows the correct time now... I don't intend to boot back into Windows anyway

Email messages don't display in thunderbird message pane but wdseml file is good.

There are some email messages that don't display correctly in the Thunderbird message pane.
Either the pane is completely empty or chunks of html show up in the pane.
I checked the actual email file stored in:
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\d976yxfm.default\Mail\pop-server\Inbox.mozmsgs
and it looks good, as the Windows 7 explorer window is able to show the email message cleanly in the preview window.
When I click on "View Source", it shows the wrong source file, I think.
The text in the "view source" window doesn't match the text in the ".wdseml" file at all.
Note: I recently migrated my C drive from a spinning hard disk to an SSD, perhaps this caused the weirdness? But, most of my email messages do display correctly, just some of them are hosed.
Any ideas how to fix?
Currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, latest update from Microsoft (as of 3/13/2014).
Thunderbird version 24.3.0.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Windows still has a command processor.
So no need for bash.
type CMD into the search box to locate it
If you can use bash I assume your familiar with CD to change folders.
One little thing I use to save typing is I locate the folder in Explorer, click beside the path so it changes to a C:\ based item and use Ctrl + C to copy it and paste it into my CMD session. CTRL+V does not work, but edit on the windows system menu does.
To rename the files, navigate to the folder they are in and Copy *.wdseml *.eml
once you do the import return and del *.eml to clear out the duplicates from the first step.

One "local folder" has disappeared from the left pane of my Thunderbird account. I need to find it What has happened?

This was a very large store of personal emails. The folder title was Iran. I'm not aware that I did anything in particular, and everything else in the left pane looks perfectly normal. What to do?

How can I at-a-glance review a server's SHA-256 fingerprint in Thunderbird?

All my IMAP sessions are created via SSL/TLS tunnels to the respective servers.
Thunderbird dutifully highlights that the connection is encrypted with the small grey padlock icon in the folder pane. This is helpful.
However, I would like to check the SHA-256 finderprint of the server's certificate on a regular basis, at a glance. Is there a way I can easily do this in Thunderbird?

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

In Windows 8.1, the Thunderbird window keeps resizing

I have a new Transformer T100A laptop, running Windows 8.1 Pro. I run Thunderbird in desktop mode. The height of the Thunderbird window keeps getting small, while the width remains the same. I usually have my folder mails in the top pane, and the open message in the bottom pane. When I open Thunderbird, it often, but not always, comes up with such a short window that I can't see any of the open message at all, and only a few lines of the messages in the folder. This happens often even when I haven't closed Thunderbird, but the computer has gone into battery saving mode. This is not a huge problem, but it's annoying to have to resize the window almost every time I use Thunderbird.

When I open Mozilla Thunderbird mail it shows an icon'home' page with Email/Accounts/Advanced Features. How do I get out of this and back to my regular Email .

I'm sorry but I have lost my ability to get back to my opening Thunderbird page. It was working but went to a completely different start -up page as I mentioned in my original statement in my question. Also the system is very slow to respond and will repeatedly say it is not responding.

That is the screen that displays when you click on the actual email address in the Folder Pane instead of the Inbox folder.
If you have a folder pane showing click on the Inbox folder to see your mail.
If you are missing the folder pane, turn it back on.
From the Menu Bar select View-Layout-Folder Pane
No menu bar showing? Press the alt key.

After aborted rebuild in Mail: I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up

I have searched quite a bit to find a resolution to this problem, with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
I decided to rebuild my inboxes by following this advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704. The rebuild took several hours and at 96% (4 minutes remaining apparently), the indexing froze (that is, after 8 hours, the message was still telling me "4 minutes left"). I forced quit mail, restored the previous Envelope files from the trash, and everything seemed fine.
However, since this failed attempt, I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up. All messages in my various inboxes have the reloading problem, EXCEPT messages that I downloaded since the aborted rebuild (in other words, there are about 40 messages that I downloaded since I tried the rebuild and I have no problem with these). The other 70,000 messages however wont load, even though I can see them in the centre pane and spotlight has no problem finding them and showing me their contents (when I hover the mouse over the message). When I click on the message in spotlight, mail opens and the loading problem re-occurs.
Since then, based on various suggestions I found for similar issues, I have used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions and the drive. I used Onix to rebuild the Mail index (that only took about a minute - I am not sure how to interpret this when compared to the hours the rebuild took with Mail). No joy, I still have the same problem. I even restored one of my inboxes via Time Machine and the same issue with loading continues.
I am using ML 10.8.2. I have a combination of IMAP accounts (work) and POP accounts (personal). The issue of loading occurs irrespective of the account.
I am baffled and am now considering migrating to either Thunderbird or Postbox 3 to try and solve my problem. I prefer to stay with Mail. I should note also that I am using MailTags with Mail (http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html), although I have not used any of the features. I upgraded to ML from SL about 2 weeks ago. It was very smooth and there appear to be no issues (not sure how helpful this is and probably not at all related to this issue).
Any suggestions much appreciated!

How can I restore Thunderbird behavior so I can delete emails by pressing delete key multiple times (without using mouse to change focus back to message list)?

Thunderbird 24.3.0 (latest under OpenBSD)
I (like most people) get spam in my inbox. When there are multiple spam messages in a row in my inbox I used to click on the first message and then press the delete key repeatedly for each sequential spam message.
After upgrading, this doesn't work. Instead, when I click a message it opens in the message preview pane and moves the focus to the message. Thus I need to click twice to even be able to press the delete key to delete one message. When I press the delete key, the message is deleted and the highlighted message becomes the next one in the list. This opens the message in the preview pane and again shifts the focus to the message. Thus I can't press the delete key again but must move the mouse to click on the message before I can delete it.
As a result, what used to be a very fast process of weeding through spam has become a real annoyance.
I realize I can hide the message preview pane to prevent the focus from moving, but this means I must delete solely based on the email subject/sender -- or open each message (which is even slower).
I also realize that I can press tab multiple times (sometime 4, sometimes many more) to shift the focus back but that's not much faster than using the mouse.
How can I prevent Thunderbird from shifting the focus away from the email list panel unless I actually click somewhere else?

Well said! And you said it about six weeks ago. And 4 other people said "Me Too." - I guess we're screwed.
I guess it's time to switch to GMail.
Such a trivial thing, but it irritates me every single time.
MOZILLA - YOU'RE GOING DOWNHILL...

How to delete account from thunderbird without deleting from server

I am lending a PC with Ubuntu and Thursderbird to a friend for a trial period. I want to delete two email accounts in Thunderbird without deleting same from the email server. The information in help seems to indicate that if I delete my accounts, those accounts will also be deleted from the server. This is not desireable - is there a way around this this? Thanks!

'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|{select the account}'''
At the bottom of the pane listing your accounts, look for '''Account Actions''', and when you click that, look for and click on '''Remove Account'''.
Doing this removes the account from Thunderbird. It actually retains the data files associated with the account but removes the account entry and its settings. What's on the server remains untouched - well, at least that is my understanding. Can you provide a link to the help that suggested otherwise?
In theory, unless you encrypt your home folder, a savvy user could find the mail store in your profile and read it. You might want to go a step further and remove the entire profile.

After 31.1.2 update cannot view new messages in pane or separate window

Old messages before today appear, but any message wuht todays date does not appe, the view pane and the message window are blank. How can I move back to previous version until this is fixed?

Update: message sent from Mozilla to confirm this new message does appear, so it seems that messages received today 9/26 that were sent before Thunderbird updated to 31.1.2, are not viewable. The header appears but not the message itself. Messages created before midnight are appearing, this is most strange. Maybe the messages from today will appear after midnight.

Is there a way to move the message pane from the bottom of the messages list to the right of it?

The question should be self explanatory. Windows Mail allows the folder pane, the message listing and the message pane to be listing in 3 columns side by side. In Thunderbird the message pane is available only beneathe the message listing. Am I missing something?

I had hit "vertical" earlier before I requested support, and nothing happened. It worked just fine after trying subsequent to your suggestion! Not sure what happened, but thank you for your help.

After updated to Ver.31.0, Mac OSX 10.9.4 Japanese language edition can't see folders in the Folder Pane.

Hi,
I'm a Japanese user of Thunderbird on my MacBook Pro mid-2010, OSX 10.9.4 Japanese language edition.
After I updated the Thunderbird, very often it only shows a tab named "Home" and no folders appear in the Folder Pane, the left end column of the window, just a big huge blank.
I rebooted my Mac several times and only a couple of times I successfully were able to see and use the folders that I created and read the e-mails inside just like I was able to before updating. All the other times, it fails to show folders, and I can't read any e-mails inside them. Even after I succeeded in showing the folders, when I relaunched the Thunderbird it fails again. I did nothing but relaunching the Thunderbird and rebooting the Mac, no other settings I've done ever since I updated to Ver.31.0.
Under this condition it's virtually impossible to use the Thunderbird.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only help.

I still got another couple of Thunderbird 31 user reports on Mac OSX 10.7.5, and 10.8.5 that are supposed to be compatible with TB31 but are unable to use because of the same symptom as I experienced: No folders shown in the Fonder Pane.
So again, it's not the OS compatibility issue, it's a bug in the TB31.
I sure hope they'll fix this issue ASAP!!

How do I get the body of messages to display in lower right section of Thunderbird screen again? I accidentally turned it off with some key strokes, I think.

My opening screen in Thunderbird (v 31.2.0) is normally set to show folders list in left column, Google calendar alerts in right column, received messages in the top half of the center column with the first few lines of the messages displayed in the lower half of the center column. While typing in the dark this morning, I evidently didn't type "CTRL+N" to bring up new message because immediately the lower display no longer showed. I don't see any options to change in the menus. I tried typing a few combinations to no avail and can find no how-to-fix-this articles with a few different searches. I know this has to be something simple to fix. I appreciate help in figuring out where I went wrong. Thanks.

Sorry, Airmail. This didn't address the issue of not showing the first few lines of the highlighted message that disappeared. F8 DOES toggle the list of messages in the top half from longer to half pane but it doesn't show list of messages in top and the first few lines of the message highlighted in the top down on the bottom of the pane. The View menu in, v 31.2.0 anyway, doesn't offer a layout of message option. I went through menu options again and didn't find anything else that would offer this option.
Oddly enough, the page displays normally in the Sent, Saved & Draft mail so evidently this only affected the Inbox. The search continues....

How can I control the order of accounts and folders in the folder pane?

I have many email accounts, and most of them share the same message store in Local Folders and I routinely download mail from all of this group. Additionally, I have a number of miscellaneous email accounts from which I do not regularly download email, so I have kept them showing as distinct accounts. However, since they are not important, I would rather that they come at the end of the list in the folder pane, as it does not matter much if they scroll off the bottom. Nevertheless, the folders for these accounts seem to insist on appearing before those for Local Accounts. I'd like to change that.
The explicit folders that I have created under Local Folders seem to insist on appearing in alphabetic order. Is there any way to override that?

Perfect! Thanks. It does exactly what I wanted and more.
Odd that it failed to turn up as a result of the search based on my initial question. My query had all the right words to get a hit. Hmmm ...
Now I am embarrassed. I just googled "thunderbird" followed by an exact quote of the question that is the subject of this thread, and guess what turned up at the top of the list! It should have occurred to me to try Google before I tried the question here. I guess I just never expected that there would be such a clean solution. Perhaps with my question now in the Mozilla database, others can benefit if they ask a similar question here.
