Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Immediately after upgrading to Thunderbird 102.0 several of my new and existing emails began showing code in the email body (and the usual button controls are missing - Reply, Forward, Archive, etc). On one email this morning the body of the email has a few lines of code followed by the body/text from an email several months ago Running Windows 10 on a desktop PC. Also run Malwarebytes PrivacyVPN and AVG. I searched web and saw how you can "repair" a folder/email. However, when I selected/clicked on Repair it appears nothing initiated. I also saw a post to rebuild the folder by deleting the .msf files - but I could only find for send or draft and only for a couple of my (15) emails. Meanwhile on my SurfacePro 7 running Win11 and Thunderbird 91.10 emails appear correctly (that are corrupted on my desktop; including this morning's email that showed the body of another/previous email - displayed correctly on my SP7) I would appreciate any help/direction you can provide. Thank you, Mike

A critically important bug!

Messages in local inbox (it is possible that the bug occurs in other or all local mailboxes too) get completely overwritten by Thunderbird 102 with parts of neighboring messages or by truncated content from the same message. The damage is irrecoverable and irreversible - original content is permanently lost. Message subject still appears in the list of messages, but in the message view pane there is no subject and no message, or just random HTML source parts of another message. Destroyed messages are OK after downloading and display correctly until overwritten under unclear circumstances. In one occasion, there was a monster message created by merging 2 messages into one - with a subject line and top part of the message header from the first message and bottom part of the header and broken content of the second message (3-rd attachment). "Folder properties"/<Repair folder> does not restore the lost content.

The TB 102 update has broken my message filters (says destination folders don't exist and throws everything to my inbox). Also, TB 102 keeps downloading old messages from my pop account that is has already downloaded creating multiple instances of the same email. I am unable to revert to the last release because TB 102 has modified my profile and I would lose all email and settings.

PLEASE fix this version ASAP!

I started having problems immediately after upgrading to Thunderbird 102.0 (32-bit) on Windows 7. I suspect some of the settings from the previous installation were not transferred correctly to the new version.

First, I couldn't even get into my email server, getting the error "Server does not support the selected authentication method." After changing some of the server settings, I was able to get into my email.

Then, a couple of my message filters started throwing an error "The message could not be filtered to folder ... because adding a message to it failed. Verify that the folder is displaying properly or try to repair it from the folder properties." I repaired the folder, and then the filter seemed to work.

Now, every message going through any filter appears to be failing with this message. Literally hundreds of messages are not getting filtered and are throwing this message (I get 200 to 400 messages daily).

Is there any way to back out of Thunderbird 102.0 and repair my entire saved messages file? HELP!!!

All of the folders are not being compacted when you do File->compact folders on the account in version 102.0.1.

It worked fine in earlier versions.

Is there a new way to do it?
