Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

On Nov28 changed to Rel 115.5.1, my thunderbird can receive messages but can not send. I am getting an error message saying that my password is in error. However when i go to Mail.aol,com my password works fine. again this just started on the 28th.

I recently (on the 28th Nov '23) updated TB to the latest version. It was so awful though that I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 60.9.1. However, now my address book is empty. I did have an old csv file which I was able to import, but it's quite old and missing a lot of addresses added more recently. Where did the saved email addresses go? Are they likely to still be out there somewhere? Thanks, Ian

I have 2 email addresses with Comcast linked to the same account. I was always able to send an email from either address using Thunderbird and the dropdown in the "From" box. I now receive an error "Sending of the message failed when using the alternate email address. An error occurred while sending mail. Thunderbird responded: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Please ensure your email address and authenticating user match when sending messages. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I do not know when this started. It had always worked (YEARS). It works on my iPhone mail - it's just Thunderbird. Any suggestions would help....Thanks

'i am now using thunderbird to get my emails. i have two accounts- aol and gmail. when i open the thunderbird app, the emails are not joined, they are separated and i have to scroll to each account to review my emails, is there a way to join both accounts and review both aol and gmail emails at one time? thanks

1. I currently have three email accounts with godaddy and unfortunately the email has to be through office 365. So far, I have switched two of them over to Thunderbird. Currently I can get two of those emails on both o365 and on Thunderbird, with the third account still only on o365 (because it's a biz account, I can't afford to mess it up). Question: If I drop / stop the Microsoft 365 service on those two email accounts, will they still come through to Thunderbird. .. Question 2: how do I migrate all of the sub folders over from o365 to Thunderbird. They didn't all come over to Thunderbird. Thanks in advance..

I read the article, "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer," but here's the problem. My profile folder is shown as C:\\appdata\roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxx.new but the Mail folder within that only has 119 MB. It contains 6 folders Local Folders, pop.earthlink.net, pop.earthlink-?.net, where ?=2 or 3 Most of that is in the INBOX file (no extension) of pop.earthlink.net, 61 MB That might sound like a lot, but it's a tiny fraction of the REAL main INBOX file, which is 3.42GB at D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\Local Folders My "REAL" I mean that this INBOX file has a file date of today, but the ones in the purported profile haven't been written into since last July. There are 3 email accounts in the installation and the "Server Settings" for each account specify that the LOCAL DIRECTORY is on D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\pop.earthlink??.net There's over 30GB of mail there! So the method given in "Moving Thunderbird..." cannot possibly work. It does not account for the fact that the account settings can redirect the location where mail is stored! So, it seems that after doing the "Moving Thunderbird..." process, I will have to 1. Create a new folder on the laptop LocalMail 2. Select all files and directories in D:\Eudora...(Mail)\Mail on the working installation and copy them to LocalMail on the laptop 3. Go into Account Settings/Server Settings on each account in the laptop and change the directory to C:\LocalMail\pop.earthlinkXX.net

Will this work?

I will certainly pare the directory tree of mail folders on the laptop to eliminate messages over 4 years old, most of which are in large archive folders.

When I need to delete emails enmass, I get a message that says I can't do that. I have "POP", it says. I get many emails and I review each one, but how can I fix this so that I can do a control A, etc. but Thunderbird reuses to delete them? I have to delete each one at a time.

I tried to read all the messages about THREADS but gave up trying to understand if there is a solution. I have always sorted all my email by DATE. Newest at the top. I use FOLDERS for sorting names or subjects I correspond with.

I want all my email in all my folders to sort by DATE. I missed seeing a lot of messages when THREADS became part of Thunderbird. Now I have to look all over the place if every new email I get is sent as a response to a previous email. Before all new email was at the top. Now it is everywhere within a folder and it takes me way too much time to keep looking for the latest emails.

Is there any way to just turn THREADS off without loosing the ability to see ALL emails.

Thanks.

To show inbox icon for listing all emails I have to scroll left on the bar that lists each individual email. Most annoying. How do I geet the inbox incon visible ALL the time?

Links have been going through linklock for some time. Starting today, every one of those is blocked with a bad certificate error from BitDefender. How to stop links in Thunderbird emails from using linklock? I would like to directly to the website.

Can't receive or send gmail. Big problem. There is no OAuth2 option for gmail when I do drop down.
