The primary reason I started using Thunderbird recently was so that I could read and respond to email while offline because I have intermittent internet access. I currently access email via IMAP and have set account settings to synchronize all folders locally. This setup has enabled me to compose and delete emails while offline. However, I am not able to archive them while offline. I believe this is because archiving in Thunderbird involves moving the email into a different folder, and this event is not queued.
I can imagine several methods which might allow me to archive emails while offline:
- Move my archive folder to a local folder.
- Move both my inbox and archive folder to local folders.
- Change a setting I don't yet know about.
- Install an addon I don't yet know about.
Which of these methods will allow me to archive emails while offline?

I'm trying to send a small (a few paragraphs of text) message to a list of email addresses (sending it 'To' one of my email addresses, and 'Bcc' to everyone in my list). I get the error about the size of the message exceeding a temporary size limit of the server. But... if I send the same message to only one or two people then it sends fine. Mailing the same list of addresses in the same way has worked fine up until today. My suspicion is that it's a problem relating to one of the recipients. I understand that the message is coming from my email provider, but does Thunderbird store any logs anywhere which might have any further information about the error?

Suddenly this morning (21Mar2019), I am unable to send email using Thunderbird. Normal Gmail appears to function fine. I have exhausted the typical suspects (firewall, antivirus, etc.). I don't understand how this can be functioning perfectly fine for weeks/months/years, and then suddenly cease to function. Any thoughts on this matter are greatly appreciated.

My program downloads old messages from the IMAP server as new. Sometimes the messages disappear and after restarting they are downloaded anew.

Hello, dear forum users. From time to time, when synchronizing with the IMAP server, messages from 3 years ago are downloaded as new messages. My WP.PL mail service provider thinks this is the fault of the Thunderbird mail client. It also often happens that after running thunderbird, the folder of received messages or some other synchronized subfolders disappears. It helps to close and restart Thunderbird. I use the default settings in the program and I don't know what I can change so that these problems don't return. I use version 60.5.1 (64bit) on Linux Ubuntu Xenial.
Thunderbird goes into a loop complaining about a message missing from gloda

Periodically I notice Thunderbird using 50-100% CPU, and the error console shows a message like the following repeated once a second:
2019-03-21 00:31:29 gloda.index_msg WARN Observed header that claims to be gloda indexed but that gloda has never heard of during compaction. In folder: mailbox:<mailbox> sketchy key: 615 subject: <subject>
<mailbox> and <subject> are always valid mailboxes and message subjects in that mailbox, and that message repeats once per second with the same value for <mailbox> and <subject>.
Per another (now archived) question, I quit TB, remove global-messages-db.sqlite, restart TB, and that fixes the problem... for a while, but it eventually (a few hours to a day) recurs.
There seem to be two problems here:
- The database getting corrupted in the first place. - TB handling that corruption poorly, repeatedly looking up the same message in the database instead of, at least, just shrugging (figuratively :-) ) and moving to the next message.

Since a few weeks ago, Thunderbird freezes every now and then after sending emails. I tried restarting Thunderbird in Safe Mode with no success. I removed Thunderbird from my computer, moved my profile folder elsewhere, reinstalled Thunderbird from scratch (thus getting a fresh new profile folder) and I get the same problem.
Some people report that changing the signature file to html solves the problem, but I do not even have a signature file on my fresh new Thunderbird install.
I have 3 accounts (2 Google, 1 imaps). I use my own "Local Folder". That's all that is different from a fresh new install.

Whenever I start Thunderbird and it indexes the contents, my calendar synchronization stalls at 931/940. I can see this in the activity manager.
This information is produced every time I open the program and when I use the clear button at the bottom this message remains so that after a time I have multiple instances and have to use Parhelia Thunderfix to rebuild.
I am using Google Calendar so I think that I have some corrupted instances in the calendar which will not synchronize and I don't know how to locate and delete them.
I appreciate that this is may not be a Thunderbird problem but if it is not would appreciate suggestions on where to post the question to find out the answer

Hi there,
Can anyone advise?
I've been in hospital for 3 weeks and therefore not used my emails for that time.
Upon trying to open Thunderbird, ALL Imap data had disappeared. After re-entering imap email account passwords (normally done automatically by Thunderbird), EVERY email, ever, had to be re-downloaded.
I just want to know under what circumstances this happens? (To try and avoid the major hassle and delay again going forward).
I do have a theory, and it might not be Thunderbird's "fault". While I was away my hosting company also messed something up and my account had been temporarily suspended. But it was after the hosting was back up and running again that EVERY message needed to be re-downloaded again to the email client.
Would this be because of the temporary suspension of hosting services in the interim, or does Thunderbird do this any time that you haven't used your emails in a few weeks?
Thanks for any advice,
Piers.

How to delete duplicate accounts in Thunderbird 60.6.0 on Win 10 - 1809

I was having problems downloading email from my ISP's email server because I had inadvertently set all my accounts up as POP3 protocol. This was after having to recover my Win 10 system and its apps. I finally found out that setting the accounts to IMAP protocol would solve the problem. (It seems that iOS devices that access the mail using IMAP were confusing settings at the email server.)
I went through and made the changes to each of the accounts setting the IMAP option. In doing so, I created duplicates for some of the 5 accounts I use but not all of them. I found an answer here that said to use Thunderbird Tools>Options>Account_Settings, select the account to be removed then to use Account Actions to remove them. When I try this, at the point of selecting the account to be removed, I get a message saying, "An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name." This message prevents me selecting the account to be removed.
Can anyone tell me how to get around this and to remove the duplicated accounts?
