I just started having a issue where it will be for example noon , and I just get a email , that is not on top but down the list and it says 9am , or similar times where it is 1 or more hours later from the time on the email , but it just showed up , but its down on the list of recent emails , so for example I check emails and a few come in or I get a notice that I have a new email

I have Thunderbird minimized in the taskbar , I never close it , and it will show a email from a few hours ago that just came in , but its below emails that I have already read that were after that time , so basically its like some emails just randomly appear that didn't get delivered when they were supposed to along with the others at that time , this is not a 1 time thing , this has happend several times over the last few days

I can't find any Setting that allows me to choose Newest Emails on Top , or to check the Time to see if it thinks its a different time of day than it is when delivering , or to bring in emails in order of delivery time , newest first and so on , so if a email has a Delivery time of 9:38 am I actually recieve it at 9:38 am , for example I got a email showing the time at 12:48 PM as delivered (10 minutes ago , but I just got the email now at 12:58 am) , then I got one time stamped at 11:15am , and 11:13 am , and at 9:38 am , , the 9:38 am email came AFTER I got the 11:15 email by about 30 minutes , and the one I just now got (it was 12:58pm when I got it , but it shows a time of 12:48 pm so 10 minutes difference from the time it shows delivered to the time I actually got it) , this is while my email is open and I am looking at emails ..... Email Version .. 147.0 ..

Any Ideas ??? .... Thanks .... Jim

Hi, The question is in the title. I have imported my Outlook data in this 32-bits version (updated to 140.7) . I would like to keep them in a 64-bits version (147). I didn't find the solution. Thank you for helping me. Michael.

Здравствуйте, нужна информация, как можно IMAP логи в клиенте собрать, дополнительно, настроить вывод только нужных полей

https://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020591 из данной справки удалось их собрать, но тут не чисто imap, а еще какие-то системные.

Around Jan. 4, I tried moving all of my Inbox contents to a new subfolder "Inbox 2025". This process was taking a long time and I didn't see it complete. Afterwards, I can start Thunderbird OK (version 115.3.1 (64-bit) running on a Windows 10 system). I see the new folder "Inbox 2025" and it seems complete. I also see other folders which look OK. But the incoming messages have frozen at 01/01/26 [for one e-mail account] and at 01/04/26 [for a second e-mail account.]

It is also true that all of my Thunderbird sessions end by crashing after a certain period of time. What can I do to restart Thunderbird so that it will connect with the relevant servers, get new messages and not crash?

Hello, I just enabled the backup sync option for the Firefox web browser (Win 10). What is the equivalent process, or recommended method of enabling a backup for mail folders, calendar entries, address books, settings, etc. of the most current Thunderbird version on a Win 10 PC? I could not find a clear answer in the help forums. Thank you.

In the upper right hand corner there should be a minus sign, restore/down sign and an X. Instead of these I have what looks like an X in a box. It appears to be fixed when I run in Trouble mode. Even the default theme shows it wrong. This just began happening. Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Hello everybody. Since today or yesterday, my Thunderbird has stopped refreshing the list of messages. The number of new/unread messages in the Inbox and other folders is shown and updated right but the main window with the list of the messages does not get refreshed and only shows the last message from couple days ago.

I've tried to follow a bunch of guides and ideas (repairing folder, deleting .msf files...) and even removed the account and tried adding it again. The list of folders is right but now there are no messages at all. All folders look empty.

I've found out that in the folder on the disc where there are supposed to be the "INBOX.msf" and "INBOX" files, that the "INBOX" file without the file type is missing. And it's the same with every message folder, there are only .msf files on my PC where I removed and re-added the account. On my laptop, the "INBOX" file still exists but does not get updated.

This thing is happening with only one of my e-mail accounts, the others get updated fine and new messages are shown. It is IMAP server, imap.atlas.cz, Port 993, SSL/TLS with a password.

Can anyone help please?

Is there anyway of completely installing Thunberbird on a different drive and not have any stuff including symlinks in the users home directory?

Installing Thunderbird on a different drive/location is documented and straight forward but it insists on putting stuff in the users home directory C:\Users\<user>\AppData\ .

The problem can be fixed by using copying everything Thunderbird related in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\ to the other drive and use symlinks from C:\Users\<user>\AppData\ directory to its new location. Thunderbird seems to be ok with symlinks.

i am crying here i have changed my password for Comcast several times but i think ih ave screwed up The smtp server i am not sure wast do do there this is what i have can yu please tell me what to do please help i t will not et me send please

I was using Thunderbird Portable 136.0.1, from Portableapps.com . I then upgraded it to Thunderbird 146.0.1, by following Portableapp's instruction of installing the Portableapp 146 version to the same path of the old installation.

I then I added an Office365 Business email account to Thunderbird, but there was a problem with the SMTP configuration. I tried to change it, but then I found out that there's something wrong with my Account Settings for all accounts; they don't save the changes.

Let me explain: if I right click an account and choose "Settings", a new tab opens [image 1]. Whatever changes I make there, to "Account Name", "Your name", "Color", etc. don't get saved; as soon as I switch to another account and come back they are gone.

This also applies for "Edit outgoing server..." at the bottom. It always reverts to "Default server" and then every time I want to send an email I must change the default SMTP settings to the right settings of that specific account.

The "Delete" button for deleting the account also doesn't work, if I click it nothing happens.

Interestingly, if I switch to "Server settings" or "Copies and folders" the changes there do get saved and are displayed correctly for the different accounts.

What can I do to solve this? I already tried Troubleshooting Mode to no avail. I am currently trying to install Thunderbird Portableapp to a different folder, how can I then import all local folders and accounts to this new install?

I have been using our work Mozilla Thunderbird account for two years and in all that time we have been unable to send emails from our usual email address (sales@freunduk.com) to anyone with a Gmail account. We get no bouncebacks and no indication to say that the email has not been received. Everyone else with other types of email account such as Hotmail or Outlook etc get our emails, but for some reason Gmail is blocked. We send invoices, quotes etc from Mozilla and for anyone with a Gmail account, not receiving our email is very inconvenient. We have put customers on stop for non payment and then realised they haven't received our invoice via email because they have a Gmail address. Can anyone shed any light on the matter please? Is there a setting we are missing which needs changing? I have tried to search previous questions on the forum but nothing has been obvious. All help appreciated.

I am losing my Mediacom ISP account (which I have had for 20 years) at the end of this month. I have used Mediacoms web mail server all this time and want to keep many emails and addresses that are on their server. I was told that Thunderbird would allow me to transfer/copy these messages to my computer and retain them there in Thunderbird after I no longer have access to Mediacoms server. I have installed Thunderbird 3 times and spent 2-3 days with help from this forum trying to gt it to work properly but have not succeeded. I have a windows 10 HP laptop and am not completely computer literate so I don't believe I will solve this by myself. I even loaded up an old windows 7 computer which I did with ver 15. but that didn't work either. THe one difference I did notice is that the Tbird auto installation on my Win 10 machine selects POP and on the Win 7 machine it selects IMAP. Mediacom is uses IMAP

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have lost all stored folders with my email correspondence from the Local Folders for an unknown reason (I restarted my computer, and they disappeared). I can find some of these emails using the search option, but I cannot see the path of their storage location. I have checked my Profile/Mail/Local Folders, but they are not there. Are they stored on the server? How can I recover these folders?

Thank you very much in advance,

Jasmina

I tried to start Thunderbird and it would not open. There was a message that read, "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." After trying to fix it and nothing worked, I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Now all of my contacts and data is gone. When I tried to use the import tool I selected import from another Thunderbird installation and I can't get past the continue button.

How do I recover all of my data and contacts/addresses?
