I have several of issues with the latest Thunderbird e-mail tool
that came down via dnf lately; thunderbird-91.1.0-1.fc34.x86_64. (Prior version was
78.something.) Some are just annoying; one is major.
T-Bird was updated on my system on 9/11 to 91.1.0-1 and I've not seen any issues.
FWIW, in the past, when having
issues with Mozilla apps I found better answers with the Mozilla forums than bugzilla.
First, annoying. Starting a new message, the Send button is grayed
out *IF* there is anything in the Bcc field. As I normally Bcc myself on all messages,
this hits every time. Clearing the field, re-enables the Send button. Refilling the Bcc
field does NOT cause the Send button to go gray.
When you say "anything" in the Bcc field do you mean valid as well as invalid
email addresses? If I enter nothing in To or Cc but I
put an invalid email address in Bcc I will get a RED indication in Bcc with an alert and
Send will be disabled. If I then add a vaild
email in To, Send will be enabled. Hitting Send will bring up a dialog box telling me
that I need to correct the invalid email address
before sending will work.
Second, more annoying, when trying to reply to a message, the Send
box is grayed out and cannot be restored, even by clearing the Bcc box. I have not found
any way to actually send a reply (other than to go to my mobile phone and do it there).
Not sure what you are saying here. When replying how did anything get in the Bcc field?
Third, less annoying, access to my local on-disk mailspool (referred
to in Thunderbird as "movemail") has disappeared. Not a big deal, as I can
review local logfiles with a command-line mailtool like good ole 'mailx.'
Fourth, and a major problem, my Address Book has disappeared. The data appears to still
be there, as I can start typing an address and have it auto-completed, but the address
book itself appears empty, and can't be opened for browsing.
You should then check ~/.thunderbird/(your profile)/abook.* for proper ownership and
permissions. Should
all be owned by you and -rw-r--r--.
