Thunderbird, new installation, with 5 email accounts. Only one is of any size (7+ GB), but it is only sync'ing 6 months of messages, so the amount on disk is not huge. The 4 others are all below 1 gb. After just a week or 2, I am getting the "compact folders" alert, and it offers to recover 51.9 GB of disk space! This worries me, because I had just about 25 gb of disk space free when I installed Thunderbird, so it can't possibly recover that much space. The Thunderbird folder in AppData/Roaming is only 1.74 gigs. Where is it getting 50+gb from? I'm afraid to run this maintenance task.

Hi! under Thunderbird and IMAP if I read a message and keep it, my wife with another PC (Windows, Thunderbird) will not see it. I have to transfer it to her own address. Any tip? Thanks

I have recently switched to Thunderbird from Outlook and have found that some types of email are not visible in my Thunderbird inbox. I can see them in my email provider's webmail and they worked fine in Outlook but they aren't appearing in Thunderbird. I have tried adding the sender's email to my address book and telling Thunderbird not to block messages if the sender is in my address book but that hasn't helped. The two types that I have noticed are: i) messages from a groups.io mailing list that I'm a member of and ii) the daily digest from Nextdoor (a local social media website). However, if I search for the subject or sender then the email can be found by the search in Thunderbird so it seems to be there but just not visible. I have set up a global inbox and have various sub-folders of my inbox which I use rules to divert emails to. Any suggestions gratefully received.

PLEASE a filter to remove attachments and put in selected directory. No stars, not the whole message just the attached file or files. Thanks Ray Carbuhn teletext@aussiebroadband.com.au

I am using Thunderbird 115.5.0 and have been suffering double line spacing since I upgraded to this version. I can fix it on a on a per session basis, but when the programme is closed, it defaults to double space again. May I ask when this bug is going to be addressed please? Thanks John.

I have a cannon mf455-dw that is suppose to open the email client when you scan to email and attach the file. When it goes to open Thunderbird it fails. Is this common and is there are work around for this?

Hello I'm currently in need of configuring all of the clients with the Root CA certificate needed to use our new proxy server. I've seen that Thunderbird uses its own certificate repository, but there is yet a configuration option for reading Windows machine's own store, called security.enterprise_roots.enabled . This could be the best option since my users work on shared windows terminal servers. Is there a way to deploy this setting to all users? (I haven't found a GPO template for Thunderbird with this setting) I think I could create a logon script to copy a default user.js to every profile folder, but I don't know where the system could read the profiles path (multiple for most of the users).

thanks

Running 115.5.0 and want to export my contact list to be able to use it in a spreadsheet. The export function in the Tools dropdown only allows for export of "accounts, messages, address books and settings to a ZIP file." What happened to the ability to export just the address book separately to a csv file? Please help. Thank you.

email preview window text is overlapping body text in last week. It also does not allow me to see the senders actual email - which is helpful in eliminating phishing

spent a long time typing a complex mail, and due to the way the new version (115.5.0) does things, the outgoing address had a . on the end of it that wasn't visible, because it was obscured by a note that the send address wasn't in the address book, For years, I've had used BCC to get a copy back into my inbox, but now, with this latest version, if the send fails, it also doesn't forward the copy, so a mail that took over an hour to create is now lost due to the failure of the system, before now, a fail due to invalid address returned the item, so at least the body of the mail wasn't lost.

NOT impressed, this means I now have to change my system in order to not lose items by using the BCC option, it meant I knew that the server had processed the mail, now, I've no way to be sure it has truly been sent.

Using multiple profiles. Checked work offline. Thunderbird opens to a page asking me to "Setup Your Existing Email Account" when I'm attempting to open an old email account.

The server settings have changed since this profile was used. Thunderbird is giving this error message: Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

Why is Thunderbird asking me to do this and trying to connect to the server when I requested to work offline?

Good evening, when I delete an email on Mozilla Thunderbird it is not deleted at the same time on the liberomail site. How should I set up my account? Thank you Best regards

Hi, reset password in Thunderbird account and went to log back in and can now only access past 14 days of emails. One mail; folder has emails back to 2020, but no other folders have any emails available. How do we go about recovering these emails??? Cheers, Paul
