I hae no idea why or what to do now if someone could help me that would be great

Sorry I have no idea what any of what is in the Shared Data means

My emails are threading up, even ones that have nothing to do with each other. I've tried 'collapsing threads' in the 'view' menu, but it doesn't seem to help. With so much threading going on, I can't even find some of the new emails that I am alerted to.

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?

Hi. Just upgraded to Thunderbird 115.3.2. Where is the 'Mail Toolbar' of previous versions, which used to contain Get Messages, Write, Tab (plus maybe other options). Thanks. MK

I have two principal address books, collected and personal. I can add new contacts to these address books. Under collected, I have three lists of group contacts. I want to add a contact to a list in the personal address book. Searched under Firefox and lots of suggestions to drag n drop. Ha ha, highlighting the contact, the moment I drag it across the box towards the list of address books, I get the no-entry symbol, circle with a bar through it. Why is this happening please? How can I copy across the address books or lists? Why is drag n drop suggested when it doesn't work? I'm using Win 10 Pro vers 22H2 64 bit on a Dell PC. Firefox 118.0.2 64 bit. Your aid will save my mind !

I'm not sure I'm in the right place but I have a problem opening my Thunderbird email. It keeps telling me that it's open and to close but nothing happens. I can't close it and it's not actually open. I've rebooted my computer but Thunderbird still insists it's open. What can I do? I can't access and folders or emails. Should I uninstall it and reinstall it? Really hope you can help me

I used to have an extension or add-on the allowed me to play my own sounds for an incoming email on Thunderbird. However, that seems to have disappeared and I cannot find an add-on that will allow me to to that. I have many sounds that used to work but whenever you do an update to the browser they don't work.

Is there any add-on that you have that will work with my own alerts on Thunderbird or do I need to find another browser?

I have recently run into this issue in Thunderbird Supernova. Some of the menus are flyout menus, but others are note. In Firefox one set of menus which would be so much quicker to use as flyout instead of having to click and then not be able to go back, are the menus accessed from the 3 parallel lines in the upper right of the screen.

What is the reason why FFox does not use a standard flyout menu like you find in all the windows menus that is so much easier and quicker to use? And is there a reason such a menu structure cannot be implemented for the item mentioned above?

Thanx.

I hate the way the new Thunderbird version looks, can't get normal number of emails at once, can't read any of them at the bottom of the page. Please give me my old version back. This was a horrid intrusion with no warning that it wasn't just a normal update

I just changed my Thunderbird to accommodate Microsoft Exchange (and had to enable the Owl add-on to do so). Now there is NO option available to set reply text at the top of a reply message. Replies are automatically set at the bottom after the first message in the string by default (which makes no sense and shouldn't have been the default). The option which used to be available in the Composition page of the Settings page is not there. How do I set reply text to appear at the top of a message as a standard??

I keep getting this message whoever I send a message to . - please help this is urgent - what do I do Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@buysellcyprus.com>: Relay access denied. Please check the message recipient "" and try again

I got back on to Thunderbird today after being away for a couple of weeks. Downloaded and updated Thunderbird, as I usually do when an update is available. I am now on 115.2.2 (32-bit) Windows 10 My previously received emails are still there, last one 8/27/23 When I click on "get emails" nothing happens. No error message, no indication that anything is happening. I checked the email isp settings and they are correct I can receive emails on my phone using a different app. The phone app (TypeApp) indicates it is a pop3 account. I changed the Thurderbird account settings to Pop3.optonline.net frp, pop.optonline.net. Now my account and the emails have disappeared!! Please help BTW, before I changed the pop to pop3, I sent a test email using Thunderbird and it went through properly. thanks

When I set up a filter for junk mail, it asks "When do you want to move" I DO NOT want to move it anywhere I want it DELETED. Not move to trash where I have to "run junk filter" again or again delete it. In filter when you select DELETE it should be deleted. Otherwise what is the purpose of "JUNK" filter. Who wants to save junk?

I cannot see the Trash folder in one of my imap accounts. I have tried all the tips and suggestions I have been able to find using google searches, but none of them allow me to see the Trash folder.

I can see the Trash folder when I access the account with Firefox. The account runs on Google mail but appears as an account at my university. I also have a straight google mail account and I can see the trash folder in that account--in that account Trash and other folders (e.g., spam,sent) appear as subfolders of [Gmail]. This means I'm able to recover items in the Trash folder only by logging into the account using Firefox.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I have been using Thunderbird 102.14.0 for some time but it has suddenly stopped saving sent files to the sent directory. The file is sent to the recipient.

the message I get:- Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-anathan@iinet.net.au.

Is there a quicker way to delete over 1,000 old contacts in my address book which have been collected over the years and are no longer needed. There are no tick boxes which would enable multiple deletion and it will take forever for me to sort out which ones to keep and which to delete.

Thank you for any help.

I was trying to backup emails from my email a/c onto my computer through Thunderbird. After SELECTING the emails, and hopefuly CHOOSING the appropriate destination, I hit SAVE - and now the emails have disappeared altogether from Thunderbird and my email folder. Where have they gone to? and how do I get them back? How can I not make the same mistake again!!
