Hallo liebes Team! Ich suchte eine Mailadresse von Thunderbird, um zu erfahren, was mit all meinen Mails passiert ist, fand aber keine. Das Problem: Ich hatte ursprünglich Unterordner angelegt mit rechtem Mausklick und alle Mails dort abgelegt. Leider scheint es diese Funktion und damit auch die Ordner nicht mehr zu geben. Ich kann darauf also nicht mehr zugreifen, sie sind nicht da, rechter Mausklick links ist tot.

Dafür sind nun im Order Gesendet = über 800 und im Ordner Gesendet = fast 800 aufgelistet, ohne dass ich auf sie zugreifen kann, wenn ich in der im Bildschirm sichtbaren Auflistung bis ganz nach unten gescrollt habe. Früher gab es unten eine Leiste, wo man die Seiten zurückblättern konnte, auch die ist verschwunden.

Wo sind all die Unterordner mit meinen wichtigen Mails? Und wie lege ich neue Unterordner an?

I've just installed the latest TB on my new PC, but TB always shows a number of unread messages, even though all messages have been read. I tried to fix this by highlighting all the messages in my inbox, and marking them all as read. That fixes the issue temporarily, but when the next batch of emails comes in, even though I read them all, there's still a number showing some messages are unread! thanks,

With both "Open" and "Edit", Thunderbid's calendar event windows can be moved to a desired location and will persist, just as they always have. But I can remember back when the resizing of each window used to persist as well. Is there some way in the advanced settings, to restore that ability?

I was sorry to see that the 128 Nebula release did not fix the longstanding problem that Thunderbird is very slow to load in Sonoma, and has been since the Sonoma release. This is with 128.0.1esr (64-bit) on an Apple M1 Mac Mini with Sonoma 14.6. I have the same problem on a 2018 Mac Book Pro running Sonoma with an Intel chip. The problem is NOT manifest on a 2013 Mac Book Pro running the last release of Big Sur. In all 3 cases the same email accounts are loaded, so it is some interaction with the OS. (I previously reported this for Tbird 115 under Sonoma, with no resolution.)

Specifically, when I start Tbird 128 on the Sonoma M1 the window comes up in about 2 seconds but contents are blank. The contents don't fill until about 30 seconds. This makes it painful to quickly hop into email to do something, so I am resorting to Apple Mail when in a hurry. If I do the same on my 2013 Big Sur machine, it's 2 seconds for the window to come up and 8 seconds for the content to fill. Upgrading from 115 to 128 did not change this on any of the machines.

None of the enhancements of recent releases are of sufficient value to compensate for this, so I wish the team would focus on ensuring speed on all platforms. Is there any clue what is going on?

プロバイダのSo-netのメールをThnderbirdにIMAPで設定しています。 Thnderbirdでゴミ箱を削除してしまいまいした。

• ドラッグ等で直接ゴミ箱にメールを入れればメールがゴミ箱に入る
• 「delte」キーで削除しようとすると、いったん、削除されたかのように見えるが、消したはずのメールがすぐ復活

他に設定しているメール（主にGmail）では同様の不具合は起こっていません。

ドラッグで消すのは時間がかかるので、できれば、deleteでメールの削除処理をしたいのですが、うまくいきません。

なお、ヘルプの解決法にある、プロファイルで古いゴミ箱を削除等、再インストールなどはすでに試しています。

Hi, I'm having issues moving a 10 year old Thunderbird installation on a Windows 10 Pro computer to a new Windows 11 Pro PC.

I looked at all the guides & prior support messages and followed the instructions carefully. My old Windows 10 installation was in a custom directory (G:/Program Data/Thunderbird). I ensured it was updated to the most current version and closed it before moving files. I installed Thunderbird on the Windows 11 machine, went to Troubleshooting Info and found the folder that it used for the profile (when I go to profile editor, there are 2 profiles listed in the new build - I verified that I was in the directory for the default profile). I then closed Thunderbird on the new PC.

The two computers are on the same network so I moved all the files from the old location to the new location via just drag and drop. Of note, I couldn't "go up 3 levels" on the original machine's directory as per the instructions because, well, there weren't 3 higher levels of directories - I just moved the Thunderbird to Thunderbird on the new PC.

When I open Thunderbird on the new PC, it still acts like it's a new installation, except I do have my Address book. I tried deleting the second profile it had created; no different. I tried creating a new profile and specifying a directory somewhere else (eg. C:\Program Data\Thunderbird) and moving the files there - no different. I tried copying (presumably inactive) Thunderbird folders from the old computer C:\Users\~\Roaming and \Local over to a similar location on the new PC - nothing changed.

Anybody have any other ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

So - the "development" staff have taken away the ability to look back at previous events, have taken away the ability to export calendars as ics files, and have locked our data into incomprehensible and undocumented sqlite files. And they very neatly and conveniently leave all the "support" to volunteers, who have suggestions as to what *might* help. Such garbage I've never seen before in my life.

Certain items in the browser black out completely. For instance, when I open a google sheet; in the first 3 seconds, I can see the spreadsheet. Then, suddenly, it blacks out. The same is true when I try to open pdfs. I'll add screenshots.

After deleting/removing a gmail account Thunderbird gets stuck in a loop constantly requesting that I login into that non-existing account.

The only solution I found was from over 2 years ago suggesting that we manually find and remove some random files, which also caused me to have to re-login into all of the existing accounts.

I feel like adding and removing accounts is a basic functionality for email apps. How has this not been fixed in over 2 years??

And why does it even remember removed accounts? If I remove it from the list of accounts I expect Thunderbird to delete all mentions of it from my system.

Hi, I want to copy my Thunderbird profile in windows 10 from old computer to a new one, whan I go in Roamng>Thinderbird>Profiles> it shows total size 32 GB. I tried deleting in the Thunderbird application some emails but total size in prifeles reduced only by 1 Gb, I gues that some very old emails even before 2012 are stored somwhare in Profles but I can not locate. Whan I go to Inbox.sbd it shows 8,5 GB but whan I enter in the applicatin shows much less size?

Last night Thunderbird decided to auto-update, and during the auto-update the process was killed*. Now I can't start Thunderbird anymore. Every time it gives "Segmentation fault (code dumped)". I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird. I'm on Fedora 36 and the repo installs `thunderbird-102.10.0-1.fc36.x86_64`. I have no idea what version I was running before as it auto-updates nearly every time I need it (which isn't that often). Is there any way to get it working again?

My inbox is showing as 96% full but there are only a couple of emails in it. It's acting like I have never deleted them even though I have & do. Yesterday it said 92% full. Sometimes the folders below it, sent, junk, deleted etc show as 96% full also, other times they don't. I have compacted the folders but each day it just gets more full. Please, how can I fix this issue? And please be specific, I'm not overly computer literate. Thank you. Jo

I am preparing for a transit from MS and Outlook to Linux and Thunderbird. My outlook is set up in a way that all pop-3 accounts are in one PST file. I have almost no experience with Thunderbird, though I have set up Thunderbird on a test laptop and created one account as IMAP to test. this works nicely. I want to cancel my MS office subscription to not being forced into windows 11 in 2025! Office libre does the rest of the office app job.

BUT Outlook seems a different beast. Now, for the transition form Outlook to Thunderbird I will need to move over all PST files (the current one and all archives):

How can I import a PST file (which contains data of several e-mail accounts) into Thunderbird.

Does that work at all? If so, (I hope) how do I need to set up Thunderbird with all the accounts which are in the PST? What are the pitfalls? Should I use an automated (software solution) to be on the safe side or just not to not screw up?

Thanks a million for your tips and help
