We've not changed any settings and today the name and email address of the sender of an email no longer appear when replying. It's always appeared prior to today.

Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (32-bit) Odd problem in that just one folder was being identified as not being able to be compacted because of Disk Space....not true, plenty of space as I keep it regularly cleaned. I can clear the issue by making another folder of a different name, copying all messages to that folder then running COMPACT on the new folder and nothing is amiss. Run it on the original problem folder and no issues. Delete the original folder and create another with the same old name and transfer the messages to the now new originally named folder. Delete the TEMP folder. Then run a COMPACT on the problem folder and no issues.

Then run compact on the whole message tree and sure enough the COMPACT issue has now moved to a different folder. I suspect you could chase this thing till the cows come home but won't resolve, just moves it from folder to folder.

Now I could just kill Thunderbird and reinstall but this is intriging. Not sure if that would help. Ran TROUBLESHOOT MODE clean with out the only extension I use and no change. Stumped.

Thanks!

I am receiving emails but can't forward on an email or send a new email. The message that comes up on screen says "sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again". My email address is mryankillavalla@eircom.net

Hello My wife was writing a long email and saved at regular intervals. Today my wife asked where here email, in drafts, was as she could only find one with a few characters for the message .... it's possible that she has blank the whole draft at some point and hence the saved draft with just 3 characters. Is there anyway to access the previosuly saved versions? Even if she could access one which only had 3/4 or 1/2 of what she typed it would help .... I feel that the lastest version of the saved message is all she has ?? Anyone know different? Many thanks in anticipation Neill

Hello,

Scrolling vertically with mouse-wheel in Thunderbird is uneven and unstable, while scrolling in Firefox* is perfect. (*or any other program) What could be wrong?

Thanks, Mark

We’re having a weird issue with Thunderbird that’s showing up on multiple computers using the same mailbox. When we search using the top search bar (Ctrl+K), it often doesn't find all emails that clearly match the search term For example, we have multiple sent emails with the searched phrase in the subject, but Ctrl+K only finds one of them, even though there are two (or more) that match. When we use Ctrl+Shift+F (advanced search) with the exact same keyword and folder, all the matching emails show up just fine.

So it's not like the emails are missing —they're just not being picked up by the Ctrl+K search.

The annoying part is that Ctrl+K lets us open the whole conversation thread, which is really useful, while Ctrl+Shift+F only shows single messages.

Ive tried to:

- repair folders

- delete .msf files

- rebuild global database

- reenable "Include messages in this folder in Global Search results" but it did not help

And this isn’t just one machine, it's happening on every PC where this mailbox is used

I'm looking for solution to make or prevent Thunderbird automatically filling up the "From" box.

In other words; I want the "From" section to be empty every single time for me to fill up. Just like I have to do with the "Subject" and "to" boxes.

I'm willing to hack Thunderbird if there's no an user friendly solution for this I want! Just please tell me what to do and I'll do!

Thank you in advance, Attila.

Group contacts have been established and the group is listed in the Address page. An email is prepared and the group name is inserted in the bcc slot. An x appears to the left of the group name. The Send button is grayed out and the email can't be sent. What is the problem?

Version 128.11.0esr (64-bit) Tbird won't download emails from server. I get a bunch of status messages at the bottom left of the screen: looking up server, connecting, checking server capabilities, etc, then everything just stops. No downloads. If I access this account via webmail, there *are* emails there that Tbird just won't download. No error messages of any kind, just those status messages in that bar along the bottom of the window. All appears well... but no messages.

On the sending sider, I can't send anything from the account either (image attached.) So there appears to be both a connection error (sending) and NO connection error (receiving.) Got me chasing my own tail in circles - - tried a couple of different email apps and they're all working as they should, same settings, both send and receive. I've never used anything other than Thunderbird and REALLY don't want to change, but if it isn't working, looks like I'll have to, like it or not. Any ideas gratefully received!

Move Thunderbird data to a new computer

I have the complete Thunderbird folder with 15 years of POP mail.

Install Thunderbird on new PC and overwrite the complete folder?

will be the same version of thunderbird.

I recently deleted a gmail account from my TB. It was a shared account so that account is still open but I have no more need of accessing it. So I went into my TB\Account Actions\Remove Account. It no longer exists on my main TB page which shows my different email accounts. Suddenly, and constantly, I have this window pop up, requesting my login info, which I no longer have. When I close the window, it just opens back up. I have to close it in order to get to my main TB window. It's horribly frustrating. Any ideas??

AOL made me do a 2 step verification and now Thunderbird won't connect to AOL. Thunderbird keeps asking for my AOL password, which I enter, but it won't connect. I'm guessing it's because AOL wants the code that they text me before allowing a connection. So if this is the case, how do I get around it? Thanks much for any help.

I have mail in my calendar. [email removed]@gmail.com there is a reminder in the calendar. As a task. I can't delete it. Server error. It is not available on the Gmail server.

I have around 2000 emails in TB but it is not syncing to my gmail account (only 1000 synched). How do I refresh/continue the synch? It stopped after emails from year 2018 but there should be emails there from year 2013. Thanks so much.

Thunderbird is not synchronizing with Mailfence. My other email accounts (Outlook, Gmail) work fine. TB connects to them, downloads message headers and displays the number of messages correctly. With Mailfence, the messages stop at "connected to imap.mailfence.com" and stalls there. The message disappears after a few seconds and nothing else happens. This happened this morning when I first launched TB. I then got an update to 128.11.1. No change. I did receive the Windows Update 2025-06 Cumulative Update sometime overnight prior to launching TB.

Can anyone provide an effective help to correct this problem please - many thanks, Tony H.
