Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

Following a switch off and restart triggered I think by a Windows update, Thunderbird is not displaying any messages in my Inbox, though it is showing the number of messages in the Inbox title bar. 'Drafts' and 'Sent' all display correctly, but the 'Inbox' is blank with a grey icon of an envelope and the statement: "No message found". I am an IT novice. I looked on the 'help' pages. I have checked that no filters are set. I have right-clicked on the 'Inbox' title to display the menu with 'properties' at the bottom. I have clicked on that to bring up the dialog box with the "Repair" icon. It shows 'Inbox' in the 'Name' box but I note that the 'Location' box is blank. Presumably it should not be. Presumably it should show either the location of locally stored messages on my hard drive, or the location of the messages on the email server. I am not sure which. I have found the directory on my hard drive where I believe the messages are stored locally. The size of the file suggests to me that they are all there. The periodic 'Checking for new messages' is happening, but nothing is displaying, though a check via webmail shows that new messages are arriving on the server. What should I do to get my Inbox to display correctly? With many thanks, Iain

Re: Thunderbird 128.7.0esr (64-bit) under Windows 10

Unread incoming messages are indicated by a little red dot within the Thunderbird logo icon in the Windows notification area. When operating with a Unified Inbox, opening those messages in the Unified folder does not always clear the red dot, nor does the unread message counter in the left pane always decrement properly. What it seems to take to reset things when this happens is to expand the Inbox tree and simply click on the account name associated with the unread message. Anyone else see this?

All fields in Account Settings (Account Name, Your Name, Email Address, Organization, Signature text) have gone blank. I keep entering the appropriate text in each of these fields but as soon as I close the Account Settings tab and reopen it, they all disappear.

Hi there I am not getting my emails and a dialog box appears and asks me to sign in when proceed with my user and password that is correct it does not connect to the server and now it doesn't even give me the option it just says thunderbird connection to server has timed out. Can someone help me with this problem please.

I am trying to whitelist a domain name. TB won't let me do that. This company has a plethora of emails. I don't want to whitelist every single one of them. That would take me days. It is impractical. I want to whitelist the domain name which is concentrix.com. I want to ensure that all emails coming from that domain name land on the inbox folder. How can I do that on TB?

I am setting up Thunderbird for the first time. Do I need to have Mozilla and Firefox set up first or is that irrelevant? I keep getting "unable to log in" messages and cannot go any further in the Thunderbird set up.

After installing the Windows Thunderbid update, it downloads a gmail message about one per hour. Please help what could be the cause. Windows 10, wersja 21H2 i 22H2 64 Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (32 bity)

I cannot see any folders, and consequently any e-mails, in any of my email accounts. All I get when I log in are the mail accounts that I have. If I try to open a sub folder in that account, e.g. Inbox, I am told that it already exists. I cannot expand the account to view the emails that I have.

How to fix this issue.

P.S. it is no good sending me an e-mail as I won't be able to see it. You can try an alternate email mick.esdivers@gmail.com

I am trying to set up Thunderbird and I get a message "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database". When I click done, I get "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration username or password" HELP! Prefer a phone call.

Dear filter specialists,

On a Windows 10 computer with TB Portable 128.6 and .7, folders can no longer be selected in the filters as ‘Run filter on’ or ‘perform these Actions’: the menu is greyed out. The phenomenon occurs with all accounts: POP and local. Various email providers, ESET virus scanner, Windows firewall, FritzBox cable router. The local account contains almost 30 GB of emails. The existing filters work as long as they do not affect the accounts or folders: for example, tagging e-mails works. Existing filters with folder-actions cannot be re-configured and no folder actions are possible when creating a new filter.

I have performed an update check and restarted Windows, changed the compression limit from 500 to 5 MB and changed a few minor settings so that the config is rewritten.

What could this be? How do I solve the problem? A workaround if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help.

Microsoft in its wonderful idea of updating no matter what, has taken out my thunderbird client. I was using an older version because the new thunderbird kept losing my addresses. NOW I HAVE NOTHING AND NO ACCESS TO ANY EMAIL.

I recently got rid of my old main email account which up asks for account sign-in information when I initially boot up Thunderbird NEBULAR ver: 128.7.Oesr (64 bit). can you give me specific information to delete the old main email account and make my second email the main email account which will automaticall retreive my emails and show up first. Please remember that I old and need specific information,

The title describes the problem. This is an old problem that seems to be triggered by something embedded in the email. Other emails print to PDF or the actual printer without a problem. For security reasons, I cannot attach the email in question as it involves money and account identification.

The email is a credit card reward certificate from Costco and generated by Citibank in case someone else has reported this specific problem.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if it was possible to disable window decorations (close, maximise, minimise) on the GNU/Linux build of Thunderbird 128.7.0esr. I cannot seem to find this in the settings.

I don't have window decorations on my window manager (i3), so this make Thunderbird a little jarring to use and I'd like to disable them if possible. Two of the buttons (minimise and maximise) are actually non-functional due to i3's tiling nature. I think this is something that has recently been added, as I never used to have these buttons before updating recently after being away from work for a while. They've just appeared and I can't seem to get rid of them.

Am I just being daft and missing someething obvious in the settings?

Thanks in advance.

In my TB128.7.0esr I have a Profile with several IMAP-accounts all residing on the same IMAP-server.

For ONE of the accounts, when I do a move (drag-and-drop) of an eMail from A to B (ex: from Inbox to Folder or from folder to Inbox or .....) - in Thunderbird the eMail becomes available in the target, and is removed from the source - on the Server directories the eMail stays in the source and is as well in the target and this until I do a compact or until I close Thunderbird

For OTHER accounts everything happens immediately !

I couldn't find any setting that might imply this kind of behaviour

And yes, I checked, the icon during the drag-and-drop, it doesn't have the +sign on it, so it's NOT a copy

Any ideas what might be going on ?

Hi,

I've searched this problem a number of times and not come up with a solution. I've been a Thunderbird user for decades and this is a new problem to me.

I have 3 email accounts in Thunderbird. One of the three is very old and has dozens of subfolders with old message storage. The other two have one or two subfolders at the most. All 3 accounts seem to have this same problem.

Ninety % of the time all messages download and appear in their inboxes just fine. But sometimes I'll get downloading X-number of messages in the bottom left corner of Thunderbird but nothing shows up in any of the inboxes. I check all TRASH and JUNK folders and they are all empty (I used EMPTY TRASH ON EXIT as a setting in all accounts to empty the TRASH folder).

If I go to the online servers for these three accounts no messages show up there that haven't already been downloaded to my inbox and seen by me. So it would appear there actually were no new messages to download even though Thunderbird indicated there were.

A few weeks ago I searched out and found instructions for using the REPAIR FOLDER feature and ran that on the inboxes. On one account 3 old messages I don't think I'd seen did indeed appear. But use of the REPAIR FOLDER feature since then has had no effect at all.

I use JUNK settings but rarely see anything show up in my JUNK boxes. Perhaps that's a clue?

Can anyone enlighten me on what is happening?

Thanks, BH
