Thunderbird Community Forum

I´ve used Gmail through Thunderbird for many years now, mainly because I prefer your treestructure. After changing laptop I discovered that a new map had entered the tree, which turned out to be Gmail´s map "Important" (Viktigt in Swedish). Important stores ALL incoming mail, now over 3 700! There are "only" under 400 in the Incoming map. If I erase a mail from Important it will also be erased from the Incoming map, and vice versa. Important should be for me to decide if a mail should be temporarely stowed there. Can you tell how to clean out only the Important? Best regards and thanks

I'm a long time user of TB. However, the installation I have now is fairly new on a Win 11 computer. I have attached a screen shot showing my server settings where it clearly shows that TB is not to download any messages on it's own.

I have an email address (cox.com) that was taken over by Yahoo some year and half ago. I don't remember this problem occurring on my Win 10 computer.

Why is Thunderbird downloading messages when it's not supposed to?

Thank you.

I am using my University of Florida email (https://www.mail.ufl.edu/), IMAP. When I turn on Thunderbird and I send messages, everything is good for a few hours. After that, when I send an email I get this error every time:

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-XXXX@XXX.

How can this be solved? Only way to fix is closing Thunderbird or rebooting, then problem represents itself. But then I lose the sent emails.

Note: could the problem be that by Default Thunderbird saves emails in a different sent folder? Which is not ideal, because when I send from my phone or from the web things go in a different folder than when i send from Thunderbird. Should I tick off "others"? in the attached pic? How should I consolidate the 2 "sent" folder into one? Should I manually copy them? Or after I select "others", they consolidate themself. I dont wanna do a mess, can you please provide step by step instructions.

When I try to reply to an e mail sometimes I get Reporting-MTA: dns; smtpout.karoo.kcom.com Final-Recipient: rfc822;ngoedupwangmo@sbcglobal.net Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) Remote-MTA: dns; [144.160.235.143] Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 553-'5.3.0 alph772 DNSBL:RBL 521< 212.50.160.34 >_is_blocked.For assistance forward this error to abuse_rbl@abuse-att.net' (delivery attempts: 0)

Any ideas anybody? Reporting to abuse.....as I have done in the past produced no help whatsoever.

Yet I received an email today and 'replying' and sending a new message produces the same resuut This is not the first time this has happened and messages get through from Ngoedup and sometimes my 'replies' gets through. Thank you Bernard

While I am a management consultant and do not understand how to code and develop software beyond the most surface levels, I wish to contribute this idea towards development of Thunderbird.

One of the most important components of an email client is the editor. There have been many requests for changes in the Thunderbird mail editor in the past. I wish to propose a strategic solution to this issue.

The solution that I offer is that this team of independent contributors builds a word processor like Microsoft Word, does so under the umbrella of Thunderbird, so that there are no copyright issues in using that editor for composing email in Thunderbird, and uses that editor as a stand alone editor as well as an editor for composing emails within Thunderbird.

I am not aware if the Linux Word Processing Editor can be used for Thunderbird as a sharing between two community software initiatives, but that aspect can also be explored by talking directly to Linux.

I am struggling trying to get a consistent format in Thunderbird. First of all let me say that I am happy with the default use of paragraph style and if I want to have occasional single spacing I can use shift-enter instead of enter. Most queries on formatting seem to be about getting single spacing all the time. That is not my issue. That means that if I compose an email from scratch everything is just the way I want it, using the default settings. The problem arises when I reply to an email. The settings then seem to be ignored. For instance the line spacing can be fixed to single spacing whether I select paragraph or body text and no matter what I do I can't get it to follow the default behaviour. Also, I noticed that the font goes to "sans-serifArial" instead of the usual "Variable Width". In fact if I try to select "Variable Width" in the Format menu it is just ignored. How do I get the default composition settings when I reply to an incoming email?

I accidently deleted my account wendev@casema.nl So i wanted to add this account again but cannot because a password is required. How can I solve this. Solution for thsi problem is very much appreciated.

What does the following error message mean and how to correct it. "The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded (AUTH) invalid credentials"

Hello, please, is there already some extension that removes [EXTERNAL] from subject added to incoming e-mails in some corporations using MS Exchange Server for mails? It's pointless and annoying.

I have all of my emails in IMAP folders. When I travel I don't always have internet access. It would be helpful to have access to work-related emails at those times. Two questions:

(1) Is it possible to store emails in both IMAP and local folders so I can access them offline?

(2) Is there some setting that can automatically store all emails in IMAP and local folders?

Thanks for your help!
