I selected the "To save disk space, do not download:" checkbox while I was traveling with restricted internet. I've deselected the checkbox now, but the downloads are still restricted. Apparently deselecting did not unset a flag in the settings? Does anyone know how to edit the settings for each account to do this manually?

I'm a retired Desktop Support tech more familiar with Outlook, still very new to Thunderbird. I enjoy supporting family & friends and often email urls for various reasons. What setting do I need to tweak in Thunderbird to get long urls that I paste into emails to send to wrap within the composed email?

Apple ID and password are saved in Thunderbird but every time I open Thunderbird it now askd for apple ID & password. Was working OK originally about 3 months ago but itn the last 2-3 weeks has started to ask for this info, If I type it in with my apple ID and the apple specific password then the calendar opens. It I say save password the next time I open Thunderbird it asks for Apple ID and password. and so on and so on.....

Using Thunderbird to check emails and the calendar for an Infomaniak account: The account was active and working properly. After switching this account to 2FA, Thunderbird consistently requested a username and password during synchronization. After some research, the solution is as follows: you need to create a new app password with Infomaniak, then ensure that Thunderbird saves the password and that the “Require device authentication...” option is disabled. Would it be possible to provide a complete step-by-step guide for next time? Thank you.

Either yesterday or today, I was prompted within Mozlla Thunderbird to enter my password before I could download e-mail sent to my main business e-mail address, [edited]@suddenlink.net. I did that, expecting to see my latest mail haul from that account downloaded to my inbox. I was therefore unpleasantly surprised to see that my e-mail login failed, with the message:

"Login to server imap.suddenlink.net with username [edited] failed."

Yet, I was able to log into my webmail account for [edited] online with that same login and password.

I then tried updating the password, thinking that the Optimum server was requiring that I do that as a security measure for the entire network. After restarting the system, I logged back into Thunderbird and tried to view my [edited]@suddenlink.net e-mail.

Even after doing all that, I failed to gain access to my latest e-mail deliveries to [edited]@suddenlink.net.

Can anyone help me to restore my access to my e-mail account [edited]@suddenlink.net in Mozilla Thunderbird? I can view or send the e-mail in my webmail account, or on my Smartphone. However, those methods are considerably less convenient than relying on mail delivery to or from Thunderbird.

This sort of setback has happened before. Whenever it happened it was difficult to solve. Attached is a screenshot of the Thunderbird response to my attempted server login.

メールを読み込むと「アカウントエラー　メールボックスにメールを書き込めませんでした。ファイルシステムに書き込み権限があるか、ディスクに十分な空き容量があるか確認してください」と表示される。 同アプリで他のメールアカウントでは表示されず、取り込みについても問題はないため、容量に問題はないと思われる。 また別の端末では正しくメールを取り込んでいる。

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your support.

A few weeks ago I started noticing a pop up window was occurring every (approx) 5 minutes in Thunderbird suggesting that I run a compact to save 992MB. I assumed this would stop happening after a few weeks and a few updates from Mozilla, but the problem has remained, so I'm coming here to ask about it.

Context: I'm on Windows 11. I have multiple email accounts that my Thunderbird reaches out to. At least one of the accounts is retired so reaching out to its historical server fails.

Reproducing: For me to reproduce it, I run the compact. Quit Thunderbird. Start Thunderbird. It reports 992MB can be freed. I let it compact. The main inbox disappears and reappears. I wait a few seconds and restart Thunderbird. It again tells me that it can save 992MB by running a compact.

What I've tried: I've tried repair on the inbox folder of the account I'm typically in. That didn't help. I have many other folders across many accounts and not tried to repair any other folders. I've searched the Mozilla help system.

Logs: It seems to me that a compact is probably failing but I don't know where to look for evidence of the failure.

Thunderbird won't work anymore. Microsoft message requiring that I add another email address in case I can't access email account. I don't want to use other email address, but there is no other option to this message.

Thunderbird stopped syncing with my GMX email accounts (I have several) a couple of days ago. It keeps reporting that the attempted connection has timed out. I haven't changed any settings on either Thunderbird nor GMX. Any idea why and how to fix it?

アーカイブしたメールの保存先のフォルダーを切り替えました。 新フォルダーと旧フォルダーのどちらも，アイコンがボックス型となっております。 旧フォルダーは通常のフォルダーアイコンに戻したいです。 どうすればいいでしょうか。

なお，GmailからIMAPで同期しています。

I’ve changed the folder where archived emails are saved. Both the new folder and the old folder now have box-shaped icons. I’d like to revert the old folder to the standard folder icon. How can I do that?

Note: I’m syncing via IMAP from Gmail.

i have a problem in the connection we need to have remote session

Hi, I am hoping that the community can help me find an answer to this. I have two computers that I use for work. The one in the office has TB running all the time and before I leave for the weekend/vacation I would close TB, copy the profile folder to a USB (or copy it to cloud) and then paste the profile folder on my work laptop (at home). While all the settings get copied (local folders structure, addons etc.) as I use IMAP, it downloads all the mail on the new system regardless. I thought that it should have the latest mail downloaded as part of the profile folder, is that not the case? The bigger issue is that none of the Completed Tasks Lists, Templates, etc. get updated. It still shows all the older stuff on the work laptop and no updates carry over from the PC (at work). Going through the profile folder I see multiple copies of the files prefs.js, folderCache.json, global-messages-db.sqlite appended as: prefs-computername.js and folderCache-computername.json etc. (The computername is the name of the PC - office/laptop) The profile name is the same between the two computers. TB is only started after the profile is copied locally. TB version is the same between systems. I am left scratching my head why somethings are copied but not others. Hoping that the community can help me here. Thanks!

Using the desktop version I have a bar just above the Inbox which shows 9 messages. How can I toggle this ribbon off so it doesn't show messages that I have read or put into folders. See bar that is highlighted in image #2.

When composing an email and adding an attachment, the file type icon does not appear next to the file name of the attachment. I located this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1547712 which seemed to address this and someone hit on the issue--file names that have a space in the name--test file.pdf for example generate the problem. When attaching a file with no spaces in the name, the icon appears. Any further info on this? Windows 11 personal. Thunderbird v. 149.0.2 (64-bit)

Thanks

New emails to some accounts appear as duplicates in the unified folder. I suspected it may be connected to the fact I use "All Mail" as the archive folder for a Gmail account, but now the problem is happening with a Proton account as well. When I restart Thunderbird, or deactivate and reactivate the Unified folders view, they no longer appear as duplicates.

I am using Thunderbird 149.0.2 on Windows 11. The issue started a few weeks ago. Any help would be much appreciated!

Yesterday, downloading emails got stuck because it couldn't download an email. I tried this multiple times and then it said it couldn't connect to my email server. I tried Repairing the individuals folders but the problem persisted. I looked the problem up, and one of the recommendations was to uninstall Thunderbird, the profile folder, and install it again. When I launched it again, it told me it couldn't find a profile, so I went to the app data folder and restored the folder containing my emails etc. I reconnected it to my Yahoo Mail server. I started TB this morning, and it does the same thing. It tries to download 205 emails, when I know I haven't got that many from yesterday. It still gets stuck on email 21, so I close it, open it, close it, open it, in which it checks again, and I go round and round in circles. It is now telling me that it has failed to connect to the Yahoo server. Checking mail through the Yahoo site works fine. I am using TB 149.0.1 on Wiindows 11.

The other day previews of messages quit working in Local Folders>Inbox. New messages will show the preview, but not any of the older messages. The preview area is just blank. I drew an arrow to the preview area.
