1 Yesterday I moved many MB of emails from Outlook to Thunderbird, now Tbird login to Outlook fails; password that works in browsers seems not to be accepted.

I suspect the drastically shrunk-in-size folders need compacting (which I was going to do today) but can not get to Tbird establishing a relationship to Hotmail (now owned by Outlook). I kept expecting Tbird to tell me it was compacting the whole Outlook Inbox, but it never did.

I tried clearing the cache as suggested. Ran troubleshooting but it merely displayed settings but no explanation.

Hotmail was my first email account (1995 or so), but Microsoft having bought it and it therefore now being subject to whatever inconsistencies they have introduced in the past year or so, I did what I did last night was the first step to moving emails off of their Outlook server onto my hard drive in advance of closing that account. Thunderbird seemed like the mos efficient way to keep emails while emptying their folders in Outlook.

2 If/When I get it back, I would appreciate advice on how to avoid this happening again.

Thank you.

Hello, After updating Thunderbird to version 115.11.1, messages are empty and contain no content. Messages that arrive after the update have content. How can I solve this problem because all messages in the folder received from before the update are empty.

Hello There, I'm using thunderbird with two email accounts, Hotmail.com and Outlook.it but since some time now, some e-mails are no longer readable.... If I open the same e-mails on the Outlook website I can see it correctly...

Attached some examples

Thanks in advance

Since moving from Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa) to 22.04.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) 2 days ago the appearance of my Email (from the Inbox) has changed. Not in a nice way. On the web I found ways to re-install Thunderbird (using the Thunderbird "Help" option) but that does not work anymore. Thanks, Teun.

Kia Ora, my Gmail account has stopped downloading to Thunderbird.

I hadn't changed any settings before this happened. Have looked for solutions online, the one I saw here suggested changing the saved password in Thunderbird, which I have done, changing three gmail listings to my current gmail password.

The fix here also suggested deleting the current account, but I can't find that either.

Please advise.

Thanks Mark

Thunderbird shows Hijri (Saudi Arabia Regional Date Format) no matter what Preference I choose in settings.

I've chosen the English (United States) Application Locale and restarted Thunderbird multiple times but in the header the date still shows in Hijri Format (1445-xx-xx). See attached images.

Am I missing something here? Couldn't find any clues in the config editor either. The version I have installed is the correct one (English US).

For about the last month or so, I frequently get an error message that my password is incorrect.

I use Thunderbird to manage emails on five separate accounts. Four are gmail accounts and I NEVER have an issue with those.

The issue only occurs with my oldest email account, which is an ".msn" account - a paid Microsoft account.

I can send and receive mail on this account without any issues when I use Outlook online through my Firefox browser, but when I try to use through Thunderbird, I get the password error message more often than I don't. In other words, sometimes the emails go through, but most of the time they do not. When I copy and paste the text of the email into the web browser version, there is never any problem and I am NEVER asked for my password.

Every now and then, when the message pops up, I attempt to re-enter my password, but most of the time it still won't send, and the error message re-appears almost immediately. I have changed the password twice, but that has no effect on the error message.

I would be very appreciative of any assistance.

Thanks in advance,

Bud

Have been using Thunderbird for years with my cox.net account. Recently TB update115 happened and cox.net go moved to Yahoo. Under the old systems, (cox.net and pre 115) I was able to have spam emails delivered directly to my Spam folder. With the migration of cox to Yahoo, and TB 115 I don't have a Spam folder. I have a Bulk folder and a Junk folder. I have figured out that the Bulk has replaced the Spam folder. However, spam does not show up in the folder automatically. I have to select the folder, then after about 3-5 seconds messages will appear. Again, in the past spam would be moved to the spam folder and the folder would change to dark and a # would appear beside the folder indicating that a new message had been added to the folder.

Is there a way that I can set up TB115 to do the same thing? I have tried but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

When I use the "Delete mail marked as junk" tool, sometimes it deletes all of them at once, and sometimes only one at a time. How do I fix it so that it aways deletes them all at once?

Related: https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=3079875 I used to daily version 52, and this would allow you to in windows set it to show the new mail tray icon, but hide the normal tray icon.

Seems since the introduction of mail.biff, this was unified and it's no longer seperate entries in the windows Taskbar Settings -> Select which Icons appear on the taskbar menu. Attached image shows the 2 old entries, and the singular new one which is the same, unread notification or not in the tray icon. I can only select/deselect one thunderbird entry here, which just toggles if it's there at all or not.

I do not wish to see the normal tray icon. I wish for the tray icon to show in my tray bar when there's a new/unread message.

This seems to be a thing that was regressed and fixed in v68, and then became an issue again with biff's introduction in v91 forward?

Thanks for your time.

I occasionally get a Authentication Failed to Server (Outlook.com) and when it occurs it continues for 1-5 minutes then goes away again.

Is there any error logging proceedure that I can set up to see what the exact issue is?

I've tried running a parallel alternative email client (eM Client) and that doesn't seem to suffer in the same way, but I much prefer Thunderbird so would like to find out what the problem is.

Yesterday I found that emails are not displaying in the folders. At the top alongside "Inbox" it says I have 28 emails but only 12 are displaying, and this is repeated in other folders. The attached photo shows another folde saying there are 35 messages in the inbox but only 8 displayed. Where are the others?

Also, now when I open the program no new emails appear and the "Get Messages" does not download any new emails.

I have not made any changes to anything .

I am running Thunderbird on another laptop and it is fine. Are there any fixes or do I have to reinstall the program?
