Thundebird keeps showing pop-up errors about a long index file path

I have over 200 email accounts in Thunderbird, and I am getting constant pop-up error messages that say: "Не удалось открыть индексный файл для 'Входящие на [email]'. Возможно, произошла ошибка на диске или полный путь превышает допустимую длину."

I don't need help fixing the emails themselves, but I need to permanently disable these pop-up alert windows because I will soon have over 2000 accounts and I don't want 2000 errors popping up.

I am using the latest version of Thunderbird. I have tried looking for "about:config" or the "Navigation Toolbar" to change the settings to "false", but my interface is heavily customized and I cannot find the menu or the address bar. I need a step-by-step guide on how to disable these error alerts, preferably using the Windows Registry or a configuration file if the menu is hidden.

Hello. I regularly sign up for online conferences, then when I get the confirmation email with the details I can't transfer it to the calendar. I even tried saving the ical event separately but when I try opening it using Thunderbird I get an error message. The only way I found is to transfer the contents manually and create an event on calendar, which is time consuming. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you in advance

Good morning,

I’m reaching out because I’m having trouble with my Thunderbird email and need some assistance.

I was using Thunderbird without any issues before, but now all my old emails have disappeared. I can still receive new messages, but I’m unable to send emails like I used to. I also can’t recover or view any of my previous emails.

It seems like something may have reset or become corrupted, and I’m not sure how to restore my old messages or fix the sending issue.

Could you please help me get Thunderbird working properly again and recover my old emails if possible?

Thank you for your support.

Prelude: Monitor specs matter: Samsung Odyssey G93SC [Monitor] 1194.7 × 365 × 180.8 mm (approx. 47 × 14.4 × 7.1 inches) on a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 [Display adapter] Display is 5120 x 1440 (recommended) Scale = 100% ISSUE: Fonts in Thunderbird size varies from readable to very hard to read.

Screencap below with filename [font-size-R4--181158.jpg] on your device at 100%, I hope, will show what I see.

Some Fonts in different Thunderbird 'panes' are unreadable without zooming in. The {body} of a reply is very small (see font-size-body--Rev3-07-19-2026_01.jpg below) The image will show the cursor at top left of Body.

I did search here but nothing of this nature it. So here is my question:

QUESTION: Is there a way to edit a config file or the likes to set fonts to be responsive (like a web site is same in any size screen and compensates for size?

Thanks for the read,
