With Respect

Thunderbird is causing subfolders within my Inbox to first show their names in italics and no contents then disappear altogether.

The folder Medical and later the folder IreneLyon, have disappeared altogether. The folders Scams and MummyBellNet exist in both italic/empty and intact versions. The folder Inoreader exists only in intact/empty form.

The italicization part has happened before and I eventually got those folders back but I cannot find notes from that.

There have been aberrations and odd sequences of events in Thunderbird, obviously related to this and not, which I cannot now reconstruct or describe.

Recently I looked at Help-About and was updated, on going into it, from 115.14.0 (64-bit) Supernova to 128.1.1esr (64-bit) Nebula.

                       Yours Sincerely,

                            Alan E. Dunne

Used to have tasks until today, now I cant enter a task (+ New Task is greyed out).

Tried suggestion from post by Chris Ilias Moderator 11/7/18, 7:53 AM "more options Hi John, It sounds like the Lightning add-on is disabled. If you cannot enable it in the Add-ons Manager, could you try the solutions in the following article, and see if any of them help: Calendar updates issues with Thunderbird."

I tried disabling and re-enabling lightning, no difference. Any suggested fixes?

Thx,

Running Thunderbird 115.14.0 on an old MacBook Air (OS 10.13.6 High Sierra). Thunderbird functioned perfectly well in the morning. Shut down Mac to go to a meeting. Upon restart, Thunderbird cannot be re-opened. Error message in Finder is "The application 'Thunderbird; can't be opened." Not sure what's happening and would really appreciate help.

In the last two days I have received four emails from different sources that had an old picture that my son had sent me years ago that is still on my computer instead of the actual email dialog.

Very strange!

Any ideas? Thank you

I just updated the software a day ago and it helped out a lot of issues. On only 1 of my email accounts when I click on sent it freezes the software and I have to force close it. The other email accounts don't seem to have this issue.

Steps I've tried:

• I've downloaded thunderbird and installed again.
• Ran in troubleshoot mode or similar I guess to the safe mode.

Any suggestions would be kindly appreciated.

After and automatic update of Thunderbird this past week (128.0), dragging multiple names from an open address book window to the TO:, CC or Bcc line from a subfolder cannot be done. When you do so, the outbound letter grey's out and a line says "add as an attachment?" Doing that makes a big mess of the addresses. Not sure what is going on but it's causing a hassle in sending out e-mails to specific names in subfolders in our address book.

Emails are coming in. I here notifications. They are there or somewhere. But they are not visible in my inbox until I manually refresh. Then they populate. I have to force all emails. Driving me insane that I cant fix this.

any help?

Thanks, 4

I'm focussed on my iphone- Kalender in iCloud, but would like to utilise this for "Thunderbird Appontments" Any idea how to arrange this ? Ore are there any plans for future enhancements ?

You have recently released version Thunderbird 128.1.1 in which you have changed the Compact View so that it is effectively no longer a Compact View, because the spaces have been increased between the Folders in the sidebar folder pane. I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of months and really liked the Compact View but now it has been spoiled. I don't understand why it was necessary to change this, and would be grateful if you would please revert the Compact View to how it appeared in version 115

Kind regards

I had a problem with a new upgrade for TB and was asked by another moderator on this site to update my version of TB (128.1.1esr 64-bit) to v128.2. My version of TB did not recognize the need for an update and so I downloaded and installed TB 128.2. It successfully installed as an upgrade but in a wholly different folder under C:\Program Files\MozillaThunderbird. The previous instance of TB, 128.1.1, was installed in a different location under C:\Program FIles\WindowsApps\Mozilla Thunderbird. Under control panel I see only one instance of TB and that is the new v128.2. Under Windows Settings, Apps and Features, there are two instances of TB.

Both instances appear to be seeing the mail profile so the only thing I want to know is if it is possible and how to remove the old version of TB without losing the mail profiles. Or do I uninstall the new version and roll back? In any event I do not want to lose a mail profile with years of information.

I'm new to Thunderbird and am getting to like it. However I want to use it in its most simplest form and after setting it up Ifind I have more folders than i expected.

For example (subfolders in the inbox) I have 'Sent' and also 'sent messages' folders

I also have 'junk' and 'junk E-mail' folders.

Can I delete or hide unwanted folders?

TIA

Last night, after transferring several emails from my Inbox to another folder listed in the left sidebar, I later discovered that they were corrupted and looked like this:

Now, that is not happening. What did happen, and how can I get them back in their proper form?

There is a bad Yahoo email address that pops up each time I compose an email to the same person, who has a new G-mail address. I've searched and searched for his old Yahoo address to delete it and it's nowhere to be found: All Address Books, Collected Addresses, Personal Address Book, etc.

Where else could I try? I'm using T-bird 115.14.0, 64-bit

I am a 20-year (give or take) user of Thunderbird, and it is getting almost unusable.

I am hopeful someone can help.

A lot of context....

My principal account is at Comcast (POP3; normal password), but a consulting gig has caused me to add a Outlook account (POP3; OAuth2). And I think that (along with Thunderbird updates within the past year) are the cause of my issues. And the only circumvention I have found is restarting. And yes, I have a large, multi-decade collection of e-mails in about 100 local folders.

Issues that appear intermittently:

1) Pauses (for instance, while composing e-mails) lasting up to 15 seconds where Thunderbird is unresponsive to keystrokes or other UI gestures. 2) Sometimes there are permanent "(Not responding)" lockups. Also there are times where the address book is inaccessible until Thunderbird is closed and restarted. Restarting is also the frequent cure for the persistent authentication issues. 3) Inability to access address book implicitly or via menu item 4) On start-up, generally both accounts get authenticated, but I keep getting nags to enter the Outlook password - If I ignore the nag, it pops up every couple of minutes. If I enter the password incorrectly, it tells me, but if I enter it correctly the login screen goes away, but login screen reappears within a few minutes. 5) Likely in conjunction with (4) above, I intermittently cannot send e-mails outbound to the Comcast account, with Tbird complaining about authentication; reentering the Comcast password does not help until I restart. 6) If (5) above happens, when I restart Tbird, I have to reenter Comcast passwords, even though I always select "remember password" 7) nstmp folders keep getting created.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

The recent upgrade to 128.1.1esr (64-bit) has left a bug that I cannot find a way to correct. The unified folders feature is very slow and prone to freeze. In particular, when I attempt to delete emails from the Junk or Trash folders, I cannot do so. Right clicking on any of the accounts of the primary unified folder does not reveal the menu. The program will freeze for several seconds and then may even open up a new instance of TB. The regular account folder work fine.

I can't get at my email through Thunderbird (I can get emails through my iphone and ipad. I think my password somehow go changed and now i can't access my emails on Thundewrbird.

I believe I received an email, which I can't find, from microsoft that you cannot use the same password for 3rd party apps as outlook as of September 2024. Im having issues with my Thunderbird email now and definitely dont want to lose my old emails.
