My Sent folder is empty, but I did not empty it. Test messages are not being saved in it. I tried making a Sent folder under Local folders and directing Sent items to it. They do not arrive there, either. What may have gone wrong?? email me at [redacted from public] @alum.mit.edu

Windooze 11. TBird 152.0 installed on June 20th. Now it seems like TBird is not displaying HTML emails properly. They are displayed but not at the beginning. The first line is sometimes just the bottom half of a sentence in the email (if that makes sense). I can't scroll back to the beginning. If I go to outlook and display the same email it displays fine.

Did something change in 152.0 to cause this?

Thanks, Ed Mazurek

Hallo, ich habe gesehen dass ältere Mails in meinem Posteingang zwar noch von der Überschrift vorhanden waren aber wenn ich drauf klickte waren die Mail leer, ohne Inhalt. Ich habe dann den Rechtsklick gemacht und auf reparieren gedrückt - jetzt sind diese Mails ganz aus dem Posteingang verschwunden!

Ich hab nun im Internet ein bisschen gelesen, da wird davon gesprochen die msf (?) datei zu suchen und diese zu löschen. Und beim neuen öffnen von Thundermail würden dann die Mails alle geladen werden...Ehrlich, da traue ich mich nicht so wirklich dran, löschen hört sich immer so "böse" an...

Zur Verdeutlichung: ich habe den reinen Posteingangsordner und in diesem Posteingangsordner liegen viele Unterordner als seperate Ordner. Und eben diese separten Ordner die als Unterordner im Posteingangsordern sind dürfen NICHT gelöscht werden!

Also Hände davon lassen oder kann da nichts passieren?

Danke schonmal für Eure Hilfe.

I have been using Thunderbird for about 15 years. I use POP3 access to download a copy of each email into Thunderbird, and then use filters to move emails from each of multiple accounts into a subfolder under local folders. I have one account which is no longer active, but all the emails were still stored in the subfolder. Today, I went to look at the emails in this account, which hasn't been looked at for at least 5 years. When I clicked the subfolder to see the emails, I got a popup window which looked like an OAUTH access window, not the list of my stored emails. I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention to the popup window, I just closed it so I could try again. When I closed the window, the subfolder disappeared. I have no idea how to get it back, since I still want to keep those emails. Does anyone know how to get it back?

First this is an installation on a PC. My local folders for Thunderbird are stored on an external drive. I rarely need to go to this drive, but on occasion I store a temp file for use on another PC. I was doing just that when I noticed a large number of SBD folders and MSF files there. For general description, on that drive I have local folder for Thunderbird. I also have folders A through Z which have nothing to do with Thunderbird, just other misc. folders for temp use. Thunderbird has gone through and created a second folder for each folder A through Z and an MSF file for each folder. Each one of these SBD folders has a sub SBD folder for each file that is in the original folder and an MSF file. Is it safe to delete all of these folders since they are not any part of emails. Why and how to prevent this from happening to stop clutter in my primary folder. Thank you for any advice and help.

I have a Trash Bin which had Subfolders under it.. Not thinking I emptied the Trash Bin and the SUBFOLDERS DELETED as well. Is there any way I can RECOVER THE SUBFOLDERS and Emails in them. I am 74 years of age and not very Computer or Email savvy so please keep it simple. Thanks Joe

There is (of all things!) almost too much information to process about using Firefox's email, messaging, and security options. It seems there is no longer a dedicated email application, and I cannot disentangle what I need to do to either move completely from gmail or mask my gmail account somehow through a maze of layers.

Hi, I have a Yahoo account in Thunderbird. Every time I try to create a folder, it doesn't appear immediately. I have to close Thunderbird and reopen it to see the new folder on my folder list. This doesn't happen with other email accounts, like Gmail or NetworkSolutions, only with Yahoo.

Thank you for any information on how to correct it, or whether other people are having the same problem.
