I have read that Thunderbird puts copies of emails into the profiles folder. On finding the folder I see what looks like the folder names I have made in Thunderbird and yet see no individual emails. When I try to open them Thunderbird wants to make them an attachment in an outgoing email. Also, as of now Thunderbird only wants to connect to the ISP and open the emails there.

Multiple Drafts Are Being Saved And Not Deleted When Email Is Sent

I've been having this problem ever since the beginning of February 2015, which may have coincided with the latest Thunderbird update. I have 31.5.0.
I have no idea how to set auto save for drafts, but I can now see that Thunderbird does this every 5 minutes.
However, instead of saving over the original draft, it is creating a brand new draft every five minutes. And when I click "Send", all of the drafts remain in the Draft folder. So I have loads of multiple drafts for each email appearing in the Draft folder every day.
I use one draft folder for all accounts, which is located in Local Folders/Drafts.
I had each account set to Copies And Folders/Other/Drafts On Local Folders
However, since this problem I changed each account to:
Copies And Folders/"Drafts" Folder On:/Local Folders
Any help would be appreciated...

I am running Thunderbird 31.5.0 on Windows 7. When I open the program everything is normal but when I try to check my mail it is unable to connect to my server. I have contacted my mail server and they say everything is good on their end. I can access my mail by web mail. They gave me settings to check in Thunderbird for the incoming server and port but when I go to tools/account settings/server settings/account actions/create a new account, then "get a new account", I get the error message "Sorry - we're unable to communicate with our sign-up server. Please check your connection." When I try the "use my existing e-mail" button and fill in the information for my existing account and hit continue the next page appears with the error message "! Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your e-mail account." Everything was working normally until I loaded the latest update last week. I run Thunderbird on multiple computers and I am having this problem on all of them even though I only ran the update on one. How can I check and possibly edit my existing account's server settings? Or is this problem located somewhere else?

e-mails with attachments, mostly photos, are replicating themselves in my inbox, 100 or more at a time. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

It is an intermittent, but a regular-enough-to-be-really-annoying occurrence........when someone sends an e-mail, to which is attached a photo of some kind, or a picture document, it will replicate in my inbox, sometimes 100 or more copies at a time. I delete all of them, empty the trash, and will also go to the Yahoo web version of my e-mail and delete the offending e-mail from there and empty the trash. Sometimes worked. Now that process isn't working, and this particular e-mail just filled up my inbox with over 100 copies of itself, even after the other steps were taken. Can't get any incoming mail.
This log jam of replicated e-mails prevents incoming and new mail from reaching the inbox.
Needless to say, am not too happy about it. What is causing it, and how do I fix it, other than to go to Outlook for my e-mail client....? :0) This, coupled with the constant "not responding" each time I try to send an e-mail, delete items from the "sent" or inbox folders, is really driving me nuts. We have a crappy internet connection, and that is likely part of it, but the "not responding" is not a new thing with Thunderbird, either.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I dislike the web version of Yahoo, and don't want to have to switch to that, as it just doesn't meet e-mail needs. Would like to get Thunderbird fixed.
Duplicate emails being left in my 'Sent' folder, and previous emails losing their 'Recipient' and 'Subject' information.

Okay, lets hope I'm more successful in receiving an answer to this question than my last on, which still has no replies!
I have just set up Thunderbird with my Hotmail email address. Although I had installed Thunderbird v24 some time ago, I didn't use it as I don't think Hotmail was offering IMAP at that point, or maybe I wasn't aware of the significance of using IMAP in order to get my folder support. Now I have set up Hotmail with IMAP.
It is currently in the later stages of retrieving my folders, but it seems I am able to continue using TB to view, send, and receive emails. With this in mind, I have sent three emails since adding my Hotmail account. All three emails are in my 'Sent' folder, but they are duplicated...two of each sitting at the top of my Sent list. The 'Recipient' and 'Subject' info is showing on the web browser version of Hotmail, and was on Windows Live Mail the last time I looked. I can't be sure, but I swear I can recall that info being there when I first started to retrieve my Hotmail emails into TB.
On top of that, I noticed that all the emails I had sent previous to setting up Hotmail on TB are listed, but without the 'Recipient' or 'Subject' info. The date and times are there, but not the rest.
So, there's my questions:
1. Why are my sent emails appearing twice? 2. Where has the 'Subject' and 'Recipient' information gone?

Transitioned from Outlook Express to Tbird, and imported all the messages from there (and probably some settings). I thus have a "local folders" folder that has all the folders previously in OE.
I also have some pop and imap accounts, like on gmail, etc. Well, I really don't remember now, but in at least some of those, I input the info into Tbird and let it do the configuration. I've notice that when I get incoming emails from, say, a gmail account, they end up in local folders inbox, AND in the inbox under the gmail account.
I can't figure out why. I have looked at settings on the gmail website, and there is no forwarding in play.
HELP!
Thanks.

Thunderbird gets slower and slower. While waiting for msgs to download the progress bar moves but it takes a long time.

My Mac froze up (software problem) and I am doing a "bare metal" reinstall of all software I have installed Thunderbird and Enigmail. I don't even know if the GPG key chain is stored on the Mac, but can not find it in the Time Machine backup. I did not export the keys (I am really interested in my private keys) as the Mac was frozen. Any idea how/where I can get my old keychain back? Or at least my private keys? I can get others to send me their public keys and can add another new public key if needed, but I would like to read the encrypted mail stored on e-mail servers and need my old keys.....
Thx

Client: Thunderbird (actual version). Mail provider: Yahoo. Account: POP, Save messages on server. Problem: With slow internet connection Thunderbird downloads only first large message, then stops. New attempt to get messages gives downloading the same message. And so on. A lot of similar problems can be found on internet and mozilla forums, but there is no right solution. Applying recommendations (compact folders, deleting *.msf files, deleting popstate.dat file, deleting account, reinstall Thunderbird etc...) DOES NOT help. I've found some regularity: If message takes MORE than 30-40 seconds to download, then problems appears. If messages takes LESS then 30 seconds Thunderbird downloads messages without problems. Speed when downloading is about 40-50 KB (kilobytes) per second. Here coming another problem, but I think it's not related to Thunderbird: when I download messages from Yahoo through the Webmail, I have a speed about 200 KB (kilobytes) per second.

I had established an approach to using LOCAL to catagorise historical mail and had all files in a single directory(2 E-mail accounts). In latest TB on W8.1, it rejected having the files in a single directory and actually DELETED dirs and files which I had moved from the earlier system(W7). Also, it now only shows relatively recent items in INBOX. I have tried moving MBOX and .msf files within view, restarting, re-booting, etc. with no progress. Can I re-establish my earlier approach? Can I extend visibility to longer calendar durations? What causes TB to actually DELETE dirs/files? Am I, to use the technical term, screwed? Thanks for any guidance in advance.

I believe this topic has been out there since 2006, if not earlier. Still can't see the Week Number in Thunderbird minicalendar. This is an important feature to very many users. This is the reason I am forced to abandon Tbird for business. What is being done and when can we expect this feature in Tbird?
