I currently am using Thunderbird Version 128.8.1esr, Mac OS 15.3.2 As of 3/21/25 no new emails. I have two other accounts in Thunderbird that were not affected. I am now getting the following failure message. Anybody else having new messages not showing up since then? Tom

My email provider is Gmail. After the most recent windows 10 update they all became empty. I have restarted Thunderbird around three times as well as attempting to change the folder in account settings but they remain empty.

도메인 구입 후 해당 도메인으로 썬더버드 프로그램에서 메일 주소를 개설하여 사용하고자 합니다. 서버 등을 다 입력했음에도 불구하고 메일 전송이 정상적으로 되지 않고 보내는 서버, 받는 서버 오류가 뜨는 것 같은데 추가 설정이 필요한 부분이 있는지 구체적으로 확인을 받고 싶습니다.

메일 계정은 furuya@ctivt.kr 입니다.

Unable to open the summary file for [Gmail]/Sent Mail on myemail@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

I am plagued with this error message on various accounts. The folders have opened before and it exists on the Gmail website application.

The SSD is fine with plenty of available space. Over twice needed by the system.

The profile folder is 65GB. Can Thunderbird handle that much data storage?

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing the following issue and am having trouble resolving it.

・Normally, automatic reply emails should be received when there are inquiries from the website, but they are not displayed in Thunderbird. ・When I check the webmail on the mail server, I can see the emails, so they are definitely being delivered to the server. ・Occasionally, there have been delivery failures in the past, but since March 19th, not a single email has been received. ・As shown in the attached image, when I open Thunderbird, it displays "Downloading messages," and even when it reaches 60/60 downloads completed, the 60 emails are not displayed.

I suspect that the spam filter might be reacting, but I'm unsure of what to do. Could you please advise me?

This starting week, all the reminders that are set on Calendar are not showing up. Not reminding me. I've looked at the properties for each account and it does have "Show Reminders" checked. I really need these reminders to keep me on track. Please help.

I occasionally have problems with Thunderbird insisting that posts in my frequently visited newsgroup are expired when they are not. Previouly, I've been able to resolve this problem by simply unsubscribing from the newsgroup and then subscribing again. But today, when I tried that technique, Thunderbird told me that there were no messages at all in my newsgroup. This is flat-out wrong because the newsgroup is quite active. Right-clicking and choosing Get Messages did NOT change the situation.

Then, to add an extra layer of aggravation, I added a second newsgroup to my subscriptions, one for Thunderbird itself, but it was empty. I deleted that folder and then unsubscribed to my other newsgroup and tried to subscribe again but now the "Manage subscriptions" button shows me no newsgroups whatsoever!

I am beyond frustrated by this nonsense. What do I need to do to get "Manage subscriptions" to show me the thousands of newsgroups that exist and how do I make "Get messages" to show me the messages currently on my newsgroup?

I'm using Eternal September to access Usenet. My operating system is Windows 10. The version of Thunderbird I'm using is 128.8.1esr (32-bit).

In one account the Trash folder is a subfolder of Inbox. I do not know how that happened. It is the "official" Trash folder; the icon is unique and I cannot delete it.

There is a regular folder named "Trash" that appears to be linked (shadowed?) to the real Trash folder.

How do I move that subfolder ("Trash") to the top level, equal with the Inbox?

I see an icon that an email I received has an attachment but there is no longer any sort of visible attachment to click on and open. That has disappeared since my last updating 128.8.1esr (64bit)

As email threads become lengthy they become unreadable. The older emails turn into displaying one character per line. Is this a bug or something fixable on my end?

I use an AOL email account and Thunderbird on my Mac. In Thunderbird, the junk mail folder - which AOL call "Bulk Mail" for some reason - has moved to the Trash folder and I can't get it out. It's a Thunderbird problem - if I go onto my account at AOL.com, everything is normal. How do I get it out? I've tried cutting and pasting it, creating a new folder...nothing seems to work. I don't want to empty the trash in case I no longer have a junk folder at all

Issues solved. "Provider for Google Calendar" required a log in to Google. I was already logged in and hence I didn't take notice. When I finally did, the issues were solved.

Since a couple of days I have the follwing 2 problems: 1. I can't update my google calendar from TB and changes made in the android doesn't show in TB 2. The message moving function doesn't work. Messages disappear from the inbox but wont show in the folders where they should have been moved to.

I have Yandex Calendar enabled on a Windows computer using CalDAV in two applications - Thunderbird and OneCalendar. On an android phone, Yandex Calendar is enabled in the Yandex Calendar app.

Android App <--> [Yandex] <--> Thunderbird Calendar (Windows)

                                            <--> OneCalendar (Windows)

When I create an event in the Yandex Calendar app for Android, they are visible in the calendar web interface, they are visible in OneCalendar on a Windows computer, but not visible in the Thunderbird calendar on a Windows computer. All other events created in the apps and web interface are visible in the Thunderbird calendar. All CalDAV connection settings in Thunderbird and OneCalendar are the same

I would be very grateful for any advice to solve this problem.

The emails received and marked as junk mail do not automatically get placed in the junk folder. I would like clarification as to how this works. I want to have items marked as junk and/or spam removed from the inbox and placed in the appropriate folder automatically.

I'm looking for an email solution for my husband and Thunderbird looks promising. However I'd really appreciate input from this community regarding our specific scenario before I make a move. I have a programming background but I fumble blindly trying to be his email admin.

The problem we are trying to solve is his current email setup chokes on send/receive almost daily, after which he has to use Task Manager to kill a hanging Outlook.exe process. After years of tinkering I'm about to give up on Outlook completely. I think the main issue is how Outlook interacts with his Archive. His Archive.pst file is 4GB and Outlook saves it as one big file even though it has many subfolders which are essentially his filing system. Outlook is configured to save everything directly to a local laptop which is backed up regularly and we want to retain this local feature. Thunderbird is attractive because: 1. it supports the local drive storage 2. it appears to have options for transferring his Outlook archive and other folders over in such a way that he can continue to search and access them as needed. He would also like to be able to: 1. move new emails received in Thunderbird into the same (transferred) archive subfolders he has now 2. send and receive new emails without the program choking 3. view and send new emails from his Android phone (without accessing the archive) 4. transfer his email contacts from Outlook and manage them in Thunderbird Can anyone see red flags with this in Thunderbird? He does NOT use:

- Outlook Calendar (we synch our phone calendars to Google calendar online)
- Outlook Tasks

Technical Details (in case it matters):

- HP Pavilion 2021 laptop running Windows 10 with 1TB storage (200+ GB free) and 16GB RAM
- Likely to upgrade to a newer bigger laptop with Windows 11 this year
- Outlook is running from a Microsoft 365 subscription
- His actual email account is from gmail but is named per a domain name I purchased
- His Outlook account is setup using IMAP
- We use ESET for virus protection and NordVPN for WIFI security

Any comments or advice are greatly appreciated!
