So a client ask me for help, started out as not being able to open attachments on many emails. I made a back up prior trying anything, but was not able to copy over a 'sent' file (19gb) and global-messages-db.sqlite (803 mb) I tried doing repair on the mail boxes and deleting the global-messages-db.sqlite file (read it will rebuild. But now years of emails are missing completely. this is beyond me, mailbox file is still large and wondering if there is a pro that knows how to recover from this.

I just had to change the password on my host email server. Now I can't send email and when I try, I her the error box asking me to enter a new password. I do that with the new pass word and the message comes back immediately. I checked my saved password for SMTP and it shows up as the new pass word. I can send mail from the host server email app so I know that end is working. I can also receive emails on Thunderbird from the host with the new password. I have 2 other email accounts on 3 different hosts and those send emails through Thunderbird without any issue. My host tech support checked out everything from their side and feel that it is something in Thunderbird. I have the newest version of Thunderbird which just downloaded a couple of days ago. I have checked everything I know but no luck. Help!

Hi,

I have Thunderbird installed on two computers, with the same two IMAP accounts. On one computer, I have a bunch of message filters that sort incoming emails into folders. With IMAP, the same thing happens on the mail server – very convenient indeed.

Now I would like to make the same filters on the other computer, but wonder if there might be a caveat if Thunderbird is running on both computers simultaneously. What if the two computers receive the same new email, and decide to move it to a different folder at the same time? Is there any risk of a conflict that will mess up the email, or the entire folder structure?

I have not yet tried this, as I don't know if there is a risk. Anyone with insight on this?

Hi,

Is it possible to add a Thunderbird Settings option to show its email notifications on a Windows 11 PC ONLY when Thunderbird window is inactive and hidden behind other app windows on screen? When the client window is active, and new emails arrive and appear in it, there is no need to dublicate it by popup notifications, so this feature is redundant and should be auto off.

Sometime around Sept 18-19, the Local Folders has become 'hidden' and not fully visible. My wife thinks she chose the 'Hide Local folders' option from the 'folder pane options'. I tried to disable/re-enable that option but Local Folders still do not show, even with that option disabled. There is 1 folder in Favorites that does show it is a sub-folder about 5 levels deep, (although most of the upper level folders will show emails when selected). There are 20+ folders shown in the Recent folders that do show emails as expected. When i select the 'All Folders' option under 'Folder Modes', nothing happens. The display does not change, and when i click back to show the options again, 'All Folders' is NOT selected (even though i just had selected it!).

I read though several topics related to Local Folders, but i do not see this specific issue. I verified the Local Folders directory on Windows does have data (.sbf, MSF, and File) and all the sub-directories. It contains about 4.3GB of data. I tried Copying the actual Local Folders directory on Windows to a new directory, and then changed the Local Folders Account settings configuration to use that new path, however same result, Still cannot see Local Folders entire directory structure. Using TB v128.30.esr. Have it configured to apply updates when available. I saw in the release notes there were updates released on or around Sept 18-19. I initially thought the Local Folders index was corrupted somehow on Windows, so i tried the 'Repair Folder' option on the 5 levels i could see in the 1 Favorite that was showing, especially the top level, however that did not change anything. Since I cannot see the whole Local Folder structure, i cannot try on any other folders. I now suspect there is an issue with 'Hide Local Folders' function. that seems to be what has caused all this.

will attach screen caps showing the menu options, and Recents/Favorites. I can provide others if needed. thanks for any guidance. Eric

I have been using Tbird for years and have never seen this issue. I have a client that when she sends an email, usually with PDF attachments, the email goes to the recipient but what gets placed in her sent folder is the header followed with random characters.

For example, this is what showed up in the sent email folder from a email sent with PDF attachment. This does not happen all the time but certainly happens enough for concern.

Thanks in advance

With the recent "drive" by microsoft to "2 step auth" (ie.oauth2) and its final steps of implementation, my older imac (ios 10.11) which was working with thunderbird (78.14.0 (64-bit)) now can not handle my outlook email account. During the process and adding back the account, you jump thru most of the setup and authorizing steps but it ultimately fails with the following

"AADSTS7000112: Application '08162f7c-0fd2-4200-a84a-f25a4db0b584'(Thunderbird) is disabled."

I guess there is some older version checks that have diabled this app??????

I am not able to update to any newer tbird version because of the "dated" imac. Is it possible to cause the app to be enabled somewhere in azure or whereever this check is done?

I know my system is old but so am I ... :-) Any guidance on how to get this working again would me much appreciated . I tried both "pop and "imap" settings but both resulted in the same error.
