The Rumbling Edge

Hello,

I have a problem forwarding mail that has embedded pics/graphics to share with others. I looked through your help files on line and changed a setting that was suggested. It was to change to HTML rather than text. I forwarded another e-mail to someone who does and can receive HTML stuff, but he could not see the pics either. What can I do? Thanks for getting back to me as this is important. Alice

Hi Alice--I've overcome the problem by not forwarding the e-mail with pics etc; instead I "reply" to it; then change the address in the "to" window to the person I want

Hope this helps

My installation of 2.0.0.14 doesn't accept the button click from the account settings screen when I try to change the "Check for new messages" time... In fact, It won't accept it all, for ANY change .... It WAS for a while ...Any Ideas ? *** W2K SP-4 ***

Thanks !

Also, I have it setup for two accounts, but the "Get all new messages" only checks the default account... I have to click each account separately when I want to check them both ... Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks again, Dave

Re: my first post, that was the *OK* button click ...

Sorry, Dave

lovely, not only did the automatic update not work but now tbird won't load at all and the new installer just gives a mozMapi error so I no longer have any tbird functionality.

Unable to send email using thunderbird. Netscape 7.2 works O.K. Have downloaded latest - no help.

Now Thunderbird won't load. Just cycles through "Software Update Failed" endlessly. Thunderbird is "allowed" though Norton Internet Security 2007.

Update downloaded
The update was successfully downloaded and verified, and it will be installed the next time Thunderbird starts.
Restart Thunderbird now

One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that`you have permission to modify files, and then restart Thunderbird to try again.

Above happens again and again until you click 'Cancel' in User Account Control.

The partial update could not be applied. Thunderbird will try again by downloading a complete Update

Download the complete Thunderbird
Install it; same happens as before

When I open the "email accounts" dialog, no matter what, clicking on the OK button does NOT make the dialog go away ... But after clicking the OK and then the CANCEL and then opening it again, some changes DO appear to have stuck ... Any Ideas ? Vers: 2.0.0.14, W2K SP-4.

PS. Is this the correct place to be posting these Issues? If not, Please direct me to where I should.

Thanks, Dave

What happened to "insert link?"

And why do my messages now get typed in plain monospaced text?

As soon as I opened up this latest release, it was missing features that have been around for a long time.

Why?

I have the same problem as Steve Hunter and Susan - it is very frustrating as the download keeps interupting thunderbird and then being unable to complete.
Is there a way of stopping the update from repeatedly downloading and attempting to be installed, until this problem is fixed?
Thanks

Exactly the same problem as Steve Hunter and co! "One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that`you have permission to modify files, and then restart Thunderbird to try again." bla bla bla...all applications are closed, that can't be it. Don't suppose a complete re-installation would help, as it's a problem with the current version?

Frustrating.

First it, version 2.0.0.14, undated itself?? now it won't find or connect to the incoming or out going servers in the settings??, I did uninstall any earlier versions, then closed off the firewall and virus(kaspersky) still a no-go!

A second reinstall and along restart have not solved my problems. The steps on getting on the phone with the server providers where not the problem I am able to go online.

Your help is needed, my e-mail account for thunderbird is my business e-mail contact portal!!

yours,
Glenn Herious

I too have fallen victim to the update problem reported by Steve Hunter & others. The update repeatedly & continually fails, and it is therefore impossible to start Thunderbird! Is anyone going to helpfully reply to these messages?

Thanks!

Hi, I can´t attach pictures to Lotus Notes users beacuse the get them embedded in the mail, not attached.

I wnat to see the size to te attached files when i get mail with attachments. How can I do that?

I guess I should consider myself lucky because my update to 2.0.0.14 was smooth.

However, I was once again disappointed to see that two very annoying problems still haven't been fixed: the first is the bug that causes HTML email to open excruciatingly slowly unless the Address Book is open; and the second is the problem of TB being so painfully slow to open a new blank email to compose, or a reply to an email, when it's the first time to do so after launching TB (subsequent new blank emails and replies open quick as a lick).

These problems have been reported, and discussed, and discussed, and discussed, yet each revision comes along without their being fixed.

I realize that these problems are more annoyances than dysfunctions, but still I don't understand why they can't be fixed.

Thanks for listening.

With 2.0.0.14, I have a puzzling issue with filters. I create a new filter with 2 conditions, joined with "and". Desired action is to move the messages to a local folder. I save and hit the "run now" button. Nothing happens. I exit TB, run TB again, and the filter runs fine.

Although I have been trying to "teach" Thunderbird for over a year to send junk to the junk folder....it keeps letting through the same crap (viagra, all kinds of on line drugs and such) Am I doing something wrong. When I first downloaded it to my last computer...after a couple of weeks I was virtually spam free. Help!

I have 2 things problems with SETUP.
1) Software Update Failed: One or more files could not be update, please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Thunderbird to try again.
2) Mozilla Thunderbird Setup: Error opening files for writing C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32.dll clickRetry to try again, or Cancel to stop the installation. Everytimes when I install or Setup this programs and have fail and I can't figure it out with this problems and why??

I updated yesterday.
The update seemed to work o.k., Thunderbird wanted to restart. Since then I do only see the spash screen. Thunderbird then fanishes. No error message, no nothing.
Any ideas how to get the thing up and running again?

Had the same "Software Update Failed" error than some above. Downloaded the complete version from the website and installed over the existing. Now opens again fine.

Hi,
I have problems to send any attachment. In my send box the mail seems ok, but the addressee has some chaos as inline, but no attachments at all.

Do someone know this problem or has any idea? I tried two different email accounts. Both accounts show the same problem. Two months ago everything worked fine...
Up to now everything worked fine, no trouble with updating etc
