I did a search and when it didn't return results in the current folder I hit enter/return again and it searches everywhere. The results from this extended search produces clips from the numerous emails it found. If I then click on "show results as a list" it has always in the past condensed the results to a list. However, this time it no longer has the search text in the filter line and says "no message found"

Emails from my partner, who has a very simple gmail address, ALWAYS go to the spam folder, despite weeks of clicking "Not Spam" for every single one of them, and whitelisting the address on both the Collected Addresses and Personal Addresses books.

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

I downloaded Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 laptop and began setup by entering my full name and email address ([redacted]@utexas.edu, operated by Gmail). The next screen asks for my "email account password." I entered my Google password that allows me to access my email at Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox). But "Authentication failed," and I am stuck! I cannot finish installing Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for many years on my prior laptop (Windows 10).

Essentially, I want to back up my Thunderbird. The standard way seems to be via Export / Import, but there is an implied limit of 2GB. The export function has successfully ended and produced a file of 15GB. Can I rely on this? (In the sense of being able to Import it should I need to?

Thanks in advance for any help / advice you can give.

I've had AOL for an Email provider for several years now. I rarely went to the website to check my Email cause Thunderbird was linked to it. But today, AOL seems to be turning off my Thunderbird (I can't send or receive Email at the moment). It's like malware with the continuous popups making me log in to AOL to use Thunderbird but then ending up on some Yahoo Oops screen. I've been using Thunderbird since before I transitioned to AOL after moving.

It's been working fine up until today. When I do anything on Thunderbird, the annoying popup screens appear wanting me to log in. Any ideas? Have I been hacked?

If I type a date for example 24th October, Thunderbird changes what I type to T4th, if I type 22nd, it changes to N2nd, the 5th becomes Tth and so on, I have tried all sorts but I cannot find a fix apart from typing the 22 then leave a space, type th then go back and delete the space, then I have what I want. Also if I press ctrl+B to type in Bold, and let's say I type R9.88, the program changes that to a capital B, and dumps my cursor in the next line, again I have tried all sorts and can't get that fixed.

Lastly, I have done my signature using Account Settings, Signature Text, I have ticked the "Use HTML" and typed my text in three lines, my signature shows as a single line with only a space between.

So, Kind regards Mark Collings Telephone Number Shows as Kind regards Mark Collings Telephone Number.

Can you give guidance and solutions please

Od poslednej aktualizácie Thunderbirdu, sa mi prestali zobrazovať vlastné priečinky, ale na na poštovom servri sú viditeľné. Jednoducho ich nenačítalo. Má niekto podobný problém? Jedná sa o poštový server azet-mail.sk

As a twelve or more years user of Thunderbird, I find it to be okay most of the time. I hate the spam folder that does not learn and I hate threads.

Today all of a sudden, I cannot save photos sent from my iPhone as jpg. I have always right clicked and a menu has appeared. Today, the right click just zooms in which I never want to do when I am trying to save.

I tried searchig online first before coming here. Apple is claiming that Thunderbird developers made a mistake and that is why the right click is not working. AI had me try a bunch of different techniques none of which worked.

When I do save after much effort, the "photo" in my Animals folder appears as the Thunderbird logo instead of the real item itself. The other weird thing is that my folders also do NOT show up where they should when I am trying to save. The menu doesn't give me all the folders as it always has. Instead it just say All Files which is not adequate.

plötzlich kein Emailverkehr mehr, Meldung: THB erkennt meine emailadresse (nach Jahren) nicht mehr. Win11, Iphone 11 Ipad mitbetroffen. Telekom erkennt keinen Fehler. THB zunächst gelöscht und dann neu installiert ohne Erfolg. Kann emails jedoch, umständlich über Passworteingabe und Sicherheitscode, im Telekom emailcenter lesen

Have recently upgraded to 156.0 and I find that the "Sent" folder in the Unified Folders shows the wrong folders. They are the same as the "Inbox" folder as you can see in the attached photo. What do I need to do to correct this?

Здравствуйте, уважаемые. Много дней пытаюсь начать работу в Тандерберд. Делаю всё по инструкции, всё идет хорошо. Создал у оператора почты специальный пароль для Тандерберд. На последнем этапе, после ввода этого пароля появляется ошибка (см. вложение). Никак не могу это побороть. Помогите, пожалуйста!

For a long time I've been using ublock origin to block parts of emails and RSS feeds to make them more readable. This is not so much to block ads as to block parts that make it hard for me to read things. I am partially sighted. Flashing text etc. is very hard for me.

Now the extension loads but the element hiding part doesn't work on either emails or RSS feeds. I click on it but it no longer selects any part of the emails or feeds.

Why is this and what other options are there?

It still works on Firefox.
