Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

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."

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?

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. Somehow 'threading' keeps getting activated randomly. It is not being manually activated since the 'View' setting is not even normally displayed. We have to keep looking for the setting to turn it off as it is a feature that we do not like to use.

When I am on a web site most of the time there is a link used to send an email to their company. How do I configure Thunderbird to be the default email client to write and send my message? Right now Windows Live Mail is the default

Hello, as soon as TB Thunderbird was auto updated to the new version 115.4.1 (64-bit) 2 weeks ago, it keeps freezing randomly but often for several seconds when you click inbox folders from Any Emails I have: Private, Outlook, Yahoo, or Google.

It does also freeze randomly while I write emails or I check other folders. It take so much longer to deal with emails all together.

It tends to do it if the program has been opened recently but also in the midle of the day or while writing emails, for no reasons.

The previous version was also slower but was at least manageable.

What is going on? Any hints or different solutions are appreciated. Best Regards, Chris

Since updating to 115.4.1 under Windows 11 (fully updated), Thunderbird regularly (about every 24-48 hours) freezes up and needs to be shut down with Task Manager. What's up??

Used Thunderbird for years. No issues. Following upgrade to current version:

1. Usually opens multiple email tabs 2. Most current email is not visible. Drops below bottom line. Must scroll to see it. 3. If you delete the highlighted email, the next email is highlighted so light you can barely see it. 4. Often jumps to othe emails.

Ver 115.4.1

Older version was rock solid. Not sure if these are "features" or problems.

I hope you didn't intend it, but what on earth have you done in the most recent Thunderbird "update"? Almost every day I delete an email from my inbox by right-clicking and selecting delete from the drop-down. Maybe the chain is complete, quite often it's something suspicious that has slipped by the spam filters and I simply do not want to open it, sometimes it's a delivery company telling me that my parcel has arrived, which I already know. It is always a simple operation and I carry on with my activities. Now however, when I do this, the inbox resets to the very beginning, to the first email that I did not delete, back in 2010 when I first became a user, and I have to scroll through 13 years to get back to today.

Please fix it, quickly. Derek Peters

Since the new update, when I delete a message, the message "window" scrolls and I have to scroll back to where I was. This is very annoying and wastes time. I hope my description makes sense.

We are running Thunderbird 115 and encountering an annoying issue. We run two separate mailboxes and always sort by date with most recent at the bottom. It seems that whenever we switch from one mailbox to the other, the focus seems to jump to somewhere in the middle of the message library, rather than the 'bottom'/newest message. We scroll to the bottom, and then switch back again to the other mailbox and find our focus again somewhere in the middle...

My wife and I share a laptop. We both use Thunderbird for e-mails. Mine works fine. My wife has just started getting problems opening Thunderbird from the Task Bar. On clicking icon, message comes up 'Thunderbird already open. Close Thunderbird' How do we fix this problem, she can't get into Thunderbird at the moment.

I updated several filters on Thunderbird and my account went "crazy" and moved All mail out of my inbox. After digging for a while I found that when I added a filter on a domain (domain ends with) I accidentally added another line that had a blank (or null) entry. This seemed to match every message and lots of messages were moved. Can you add code that deletes or ignores these entries?

Also trying to run this down in the filter log was irritating. Can you have an option to see most recent filter applications first. Would make it easier to debug. I can live with a large log taking a long time to load but having TO Page down hundreds of times is an issue. Another option would be Go to end

Something happened to our Thunderbird, we had always viewed our newest emails when we "open". Now we view the oldest first and we can't even find the newest. Can you help us please?

After many years of use, the delete button has stopped working. Moving any email into the deleted folder of local folders works, but I would prefer to have the delete button back.
