I have a local folder that has about 950 emails in it and is about 9MB in size. Today, when I choose an email in this folder to view, it just says Loading... at the top and then there is a blank screen below. I have tried Repair Folder. I have tried creating a new folder and moving emails over to it to view them. Same problem happens in the new folder.

The odd thing is... if I choose to view the email in a new tab or in a new window... it displays fine.

Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks for your assistance

email account fails to login, triggers blocking by host

One of six email accounts consistently triggers a "fail" by the host server, leading to the blocking of my mails and web pages.

Thunderbird 102.2.2 install may have been the source of the problem. Updated now to 102.3.0 but still a problem.

All of the parameters of the bad account are the same as other, successful accounts.

Also, the parameters on the host are the same, and the password is the same on host and in Thunderbird.

I need to retain the old emails on the account for my records; I can forward new mails to another account.

How can I retain the old emails for reference while preventing the account from trying to login? Can I delete the account but retain the old emails??

windows 10 hotspot makes thunderbird and firefox freeze. Other programs continue to work as normal. I can kill firefox and thunderbird via task manager but the apps remain froze when starting back up. Need to reboot the PC and keep mobile hotspot off. Then all is well. Appears to be a bug. Microsoft just says stop using firefox. Have not yet tried that rather draconian option. They would probably advise the same if I reported it with thunderbird Please help if you can. I can use these programs on my pc without turning on mobile hotspot but it would be more convenient not to have to do so. Thanks John Verburg

Hi, I'm using Thunderbird chat with XMPP and Openfire as XMPP server. My only problem is that I can't transfer file on chat window. However, I can easily send files on other XMPP client such as Pidgin or AstraChat.

So, my question is, does Thunderbird chat support file transfer ?

Thx

I have four Gmail accounts which I'm phasing out because of the absurd Google policies and convolutions. I've added four new accounts with another, my own mail hosting service. all the four Gmail accounts I have set to forward all to thee new accounts.

The problem is every time I start up Thunderbird it defaults stubbornly to the previous Gmail account which subsequently it cannot log in and for a password.

I tried everything, setting the other account as default account, unchecking server settings [i.e.check for new messages at start up].

Since I have much (downloaded) information still in subfolders that I need to access from time to time I have not yet deleted that account.

Nothing seems to work, every time I start Thunderbird it immediately goes to that previous default Gmail account and then prompts me for "mail server password required".

The strange thing is that the other remaining three Gmail accounts which have identical settings do not create a problem.

how can I make this stop for once and for all?

Many of the older messages still in my inbox seem to be corrupted somehow.

When I double click to open the message, it opens a different email showing on the html/jscript body of the other email. For example, links in the html/jscript are for different websites.

1. Could I have set an option or configured this incorrectly? 2. Is there a way to just recreate my inbox without downloading the whole mail userid content?

I'm running on Windows 11 and using the Thunderbird 103.0b1 (64-bit) release.

Any other ideas? Happy 4th to all the American users and developers! ++Mark. https://ctproduced.com

Has anyone received this message or know how to fix the issue that may be causing it?

The reason for the problem: 5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 554-'5.4.14 Hop count exceeded - possible mail loop ATTR34 [BL0GCC02FT003.eop-gcc02.prod.protection.outlook.com]'

Overnight I received half a dozen emails that had swapped subject lines and body content with old emails and had odd headers. Some of the headers look like the HTML of the email has been split into header key/value pairs which therefore make no sense (see image attached). I use GMail and realise this could be a Google problem but some of these emails appear correctly when viewed on the GMail Android app on my phone so Thunderbird is more likely. I run Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon with all latest updates including their recently (2 days ago) update of Thunderbird to V91.11.0 (64-bit) and Kernel 5.15.0-43-generic.

Tbh, at first I thought I'd been hacked, but thought I'd post here in case there's an issue with TB that needs looking at, after rebooting to double check the fault remained. Latest emails appear to arrive as normal. It gives the impression something is amiss with a parser somewhere.

Please advise or disregard as necessary.

Regards

Installed latest update (102) received an email with an attachment, but it is not in my Inbox list. I only found it when I did a general search for the sender. Restarted Thunderbird. The email still is not in my Inbox list. When I forwarded it to myself from my webmail and did a "Get Mail", I could see it arrive at Thunderbird, it was not on my Inbox list. I did a sort by attachments and could see both emails with their attachments. How should I adjust my settings to view emails with and without attachments in the order they were received? Thanks.

Hello folks !

Last fail until this message : Crash ID: bp-011d857a-7815-466b-b93e-2a10f0220731

Hello! I wanted to merge two local folders. Used drag and drop from one local folder to another. Now I realize it was mistake to do it with 5000+ emails. Anyway Thunderbird functions OK, but I have problem accessing these folders, since they don't show messages. The one from which I draged messages is still showing them, but the other to which I dropped messages not... and that is the more important one.

Before moving I renamed destination folder, but now I see that Thunderbird also created another (new local folder) because my action of moving large number of emails... Anyway these folders look empty.

Is there any easy way to stop the action or undo it somehow... cause i really don't wanna loose those emails. Please help, if it is possible! Thanks in advance! Marko

Hello: t-bird stable manually upgraded the above v 102.1.2 from v91. W11p. Now, the "unified" folders view only shows, in the subject field, the little dark envelope at L side of field. No msgs. To view msgs, I must go to each separate acct inbox. Is there a fix (yet)? Thank you.

Login to my Thunderbird account has failed for the second time in less than a month. The first time it happened, the system seems to have fixed itself. This time, it is locked. See the attachment showing the error message. I vaguely remember being advised a few years ago to delete something in my TB and reinstall, that the content of my account is stored elsewhere and would reinstall. Is that correct?

This is a new one... Windows 10 1TB SSD Newest version T'bird

History: Upgraded from 500BG to 1TB using ISO Imaging software

Issue: The ISO Imaging went well and the new 1TB account showed 485GB which was accurate. The next day my 1TB drive was full 998GB and my Thunderbird SBD folder was 743GB. Every time I delete data to create space my imap.gmail.com folder grows (Currently 736GB).

Help!!!

Using Thunderbird I upgraded not too long ago (in 2 steps) from Eudora to now version 91.11.0. I no longer see my address books (but see files abook.mab and history.mab (but not the .BAK versions as suggested on the internet)). Both files seem to contain data (when viewed in Notepad). How to get Thunderbird to recognize/use my address books?

For several days I get the message "Login to server imap.gmail.com with username alansharp26@gmail.com failed". This seems to be since the following update has been installed: Thunderbird 90.10.0 (20220525135609)iNSTALLED 6 June 2022 , 22..22.43. I can receive emails using Outlook on my laptop, and also on my phone and iPad. I have checked the settings and they seem correct.

I’m having trouble sending mail with my gmail account. Have tried authenticating with Oauth2 but does not seem to work. Incoming mail works fine. Have tried rearranging settings but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
