Thunderbird Community Forum

As of today, my inbox has 7,563 emails, but none of them are displayed in the messages pane. I can see them if I go to All Mail, but I'd like to be able to use my inbox.

UPDATE SINCE THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE A WAY TO DELETE THIS POST - I CLICKED "REPAIR" AND IT'S NOW FIXED.

As of December 1st 2023, one of my gmail accounts in thunderbird stopped working. Every time I check messages, I get the Oauth prompts to allow thunderbird access to the gmail account, I click through without error messages, and I can see the rights were granted to Thunderbird in my account, but Thunderbird is unable to connect. If I check saved passwords, I see it has not saved an OAuth password.

Things I have done: (1) Verified everything in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 (2) Verified that IMAP was enabled on the gmail account (3) Checked the settings against my other gmail accounts which are all working, I don't see any difference. (And this account was working up until December 1st, along with all my other ones which are still working)

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Version 115.8.1 (64) I block messages by domain (domain.com), rather than whole addresses, because spammers are constantly changing their whole address (nutjob@domain.com). The filters don't always catch them when they arrive, and then they sit in the folder, indefinitely. The "Manually Run" and "Periodically, every 10 minutes" options are both selected. The "Periodically..." option does not appear to be working (as I expect it to), so I eventually will go and hit the "Run Now" button to get rid of unwanted mail. I can also quickly delete them using the "Run Filters On Folder" option in the "Tools" menu. It would be great if the filtering worked automatically. Thanks

I have noticed an issue with lists (bullet & numbered) for a while now and thought it was about time I checked to see if it can be sorted!

If I start a new message and there is no text and then I press the Bullet button then this is OK.

However, if I.....

• Start with a blank message
• Type a line of text
• Hit Return twice
• Press the Bullet button - this moves the cursor up to previous line
• Press the Bullet Button - this moves the cursor up to the end of text on previous line
• Press the Bullet button - this put a bullet symbol at start of the line of text

This makes it very frustrating trying to add a bulleted list in the middle of a message.

I saw a previous thread when the OP was having the same problem and his solution seemed to be connected with his HTML signature, but I don't have a signature set up.

This is version 115.9.0 (32-bit) running on Windows 10.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

I have a very old computer with windows 7 and Thunderbird 11.5.14. 0 32 bit I have finally got a new computer with windows 11 and have installed Thunderbird 128.1 ESR 64 bit I tried to export from the old version but it will not install on the new version. How do I move my contacts from the old one to the new one - contacts are all I care about , I can get the email by logging in. There doesn't seem to be an export for just contacts.

Im willing to put them in something like xcel as a csv if needed. thanks for any help.

I have two Google (yes, Google, not gmail) accounts. When setting up my gmail in Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter the Google account. I have entered the wrong one. Consequently, I cannot access my gmail: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I have tried all ways I have found in this forum to get rid of it again, such as editing the prefs file, but to no avail.

How can I remove the Google account from the Thunderbird settings to be able to insert the new one?

Thanks for your help in advance, Matt

Hello, I use TB intensely, and I have donated for its use. A week ago it automatically upgraded to esr, and since then, my search function has been essentially disabled. When I search the inbox or the all files, the program freezes for 10 minutes after I enter the first letter. It works fine when I search the sent messages. The software seems to prioritize message downloads and may be searching my google mail server rather than the downloaded messages. I tried without internet, and the delay is the same. I have windows 10. My husband's laptop remained in version 115, and it works fine. Please fix this bug urgently. I would greatly appreciate your help.

I have installed Thunderbird version 128.1.1 esr (64 bit). The download button as not appearing. I removed the application & reinstalled. Still the download button is not appearing. Kindly help . I wish to have the button which I am used to. The screen shot is attached.

Hi. My windows 10 PC failed to boot a few days ago and after a long period of trying to salvage it, I wound up having to reset the Windows OS on it (Go figure) and that of course resulted in the loss of all of my 3rd party software and applications.

I have since restored the PC and and the My Thunderbird email software. I did have a backup of my profile of sorts from a few months ago when I was forced to migrate email ISP companies from Cox Communications to Yahoo when Cox left the email industry last spring. I say 'of sorts' because I only kept the file structure from the actual profile down vice from Thunderbird down. And even if I had done that, it wouldn't work well since I copied out the profile before the switch to Yahoo, so the email accounts have the old Cox server info not the current Yahoo ones.

I have come to terms with the email loss and I did take the opportunity to switch from POP3 to IMAP something I have been meaning to do for a while now. And I was able to copy over the Local Folders , so it's not all gloom and doom. But what I really need to get is the address book. I have tired to import it using the "import from another Thunderbird Installation" but that ended with an error condition. Is it possible to copy the address book from one profile to another?

Oh and one last thing, Thank you for the ISP configuration data base that T'bird used to auto-configure the IMAP server setups. It made life much easier.

Thanks for any help. Respectfully Mark B.

from membership in several mailing lists, I receive eMails in duplicate (where "duplicate" means identical in sender, date/time, subject and contents) in my inbox.

Is there any way to select (and delete) such duplicates?

Hi! Using about:config and adding a couple of lines of codes to userchrome css and usercontent css I managed to remove the calendarbutton, the tasks button aswell as the chat button from the spaces toolbar on the left. I really want to to the same with the hide toolbar for tabs menu button furthest down on the page, how do I do that? Another thing I really also would like to do is stop the contacts button from opening a new page, instead I think it should just switch from the email page to the contact one, not open a new. Is there any way of doing this?

Really gratefull if I can get some help with this! Thanks!

Since the recent update that that show full address from the "from" column, and yes I know i turn that behavior off. I am wonder if there is way to get add to contact button to let me pick which list? i have personal and collected. and anything I add via that button next to address in email goes direct to the personal. I wont want to go to personal address I want to send to collected

Listed down the LHS of Thunderbird I can see the various email accounts I've created. But one of them was created very recently for the purpose of testing a problem here (so I don't need that account any more). Is there a way to remove an account entirely?

If there is, I suppose it'd be made deliberately difficult but I can't see any delete option at all. I can delete individual emails for course but can I remove an entire account entry?

Hi, I recently updated T-bird to 128.1 and find it no longer allows my address book contacts to be exported to my Windows pc desktop in .csv format. It only allows 'import' from my pc desktop. Could you please check on this latest upgrade and advise how I might be able to do this on this 128.1 version? Thanks much, Reba C

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

When I reply with Thunderbird to an email from the IO list (of which I'm a member), the name of the individual sender of the email appears in the TO: field. How do get T-Bird to put in the LIST name? Thanks.

I think that I need to completely uninstall TB Something went wrong on one of my computers, and it couldn't connect to the server. It works on my other computer.

I decided to uninstall TB that had the problem. I did that, but when I reinstalled it, it had all of the same settings and problems. I used RevoUnstaller. because it said When I reinstalled it, all of the stuff and the problem were back.

What is the best way to fix this?
