When I open something in an email in Thunderbird I also get an extra new tab along with the tab for what I am wanting. If I don't delete this new tab, when I try to return to my email page it takes me to my Windows 11 home page. It only happens when I use Thunderbird and is very annoying. What do I need to do to resolve this issue.

Hi everyone,

I ran into a major accidental data loss issue in Thunderbird and I'm hoping someone can guide me on how to safely recover the messages.

What happened:

I attempted to copy a large batch of old emails from my Yahoo IMAP account into local folders.

Thunderbird initially moved them because I accidentally pressed "Move-to" Realizing they were moved instead of copied, I pressed Ctrl + Z to undo that action after all those emails were moved from my inbox to my local folder. That undo command synced back through IMAP and wiped those messages from both the local view and the server.

Those emails just disappeared and I want to get them back. It's been 6 days. How to recover them?

I am trying to migrate from Microsoft Outlook 2021 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have successfully imported the email from a number of different email accounts. I would now like to import the archived emails held in a number of PST files. The import tool would seem to be what is required, but it does not seem to allow me to select the PST files that I wish to import. I am concerned that it will try to import all email messages from my Outlook 2021. Is there a way of restricting it to just individual PST files?

Thunderbird downloaded 610 emails from Yahoo then stopped in the same day. I've checked the https://support.mozilla.org/pt-PT/kb/thunderbird-e-yahoo#w_por-favor-verifique-o-seguinte-antes-de-pedir-suporte before and it's all like the page asks...

Can you help me further

Thank you

Thunderbird stopped downloading email in July 2026 on the same day an update was pushed. The problem showed up after an update to TB on 27 July 2026. The weird thing is that we have another account and it has no problem with that TB account downloading. I even moved the profile to another laptop. Yesterday it downloaded 25 of approximately 300 messages and stopped. I had a lengthy tech support call with Yahoo and they concluded the problem was Thunderbird. I've re-installed and updated the program. I've gone through multiple App passwords in an attempt to re-connect. The outgoing mail works. The web based Yahoo mail works. It's not an antivirus or firewall problem. I even archived most of the Yahoo mail from the web and tried to see if I could download messages if there were fewer of them. Even 10 or less would not download.

We have it set up as a POP3 account. The hard drive on the laptop in question has only 10% of its capacity filled. I accidentally removed the other account and had to set it up again yesterday using the exact same steps and it works without issues.
 Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might try next?

Since about November 2025, all the mails I try to sent to @sfr.fr addresses (different recipients) fail and I get the following message: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <xxx.xxxx@sfr.fr> recipient domain rejected (blacklisted by local policy).

Please check the message recipient "xxx.xxxx@sfr.fr" and try again

I did not have this problem before. If I use Greenby's web mail (My email provider ), the messages are sent without any problem. I would very much appreciate some help to solve this problem! P.Y: pemy@pemyoung.plus.com

I have upgraded to TB153.0.3ESR. I've been on the ESR stream for a long time now. But recently, I started having trouble with my google calendar appearing. I've deleted the provider plugin, I've moved to OAuth2, and for the most part, calendars that I have that are read-only from google show up all the time. But my personal read/write google calendar will not show up.

If I go in and delete the cache.sqlite file, and then start Thunderbird, my entries show up. However, if I switch to a different week, my read-only calendars still show up, but my personal calendar goes away.

I've tried everything listed in all of the steps to fix this, but I can't find anything that gives a clue as to what is happening. Anyone else see this?

Steve.

Sometime ago, when I was regularly using more than one computer, I thought I'd found a way to have my Thunderbird address book centrally located and accessible from both computers. I got no success from attempting this, but have suffered some side-effects every since. Configuring Thunderbird back then somehow involved using the location "demo.sogo.nu" and I believe it related to a security certificate. What used to happen was, soon after rebooting the computer, I'd get a couple of pop-up messages about connecting to demo.sogo.nu that I could clear away easily. Recently, something changed regarding this certificate and I now get pop-ups (screenshot attached) that continually bother me to create a security exception. I want these gone! I've gone into the Certificate Manager and can't find anything under the Server tab to delete. One other clue is a second screenshot that I discovered somewhere in Thunderbird that actually shows the *.sogo.nu certificate - but offers no way to delete it! Can anyone give me a hand? My only alternative is to literally annihilate Thunderbird and start from scratch, but I really don't want to go there.

How do I configure my thunderbird client to send e mail using my gmail account. Gmail's "solutions" do not seem to work - see attached for what they claim. I have used both ports 465 and 587 and the appropriate connection security.

Hi, Need help with maps that cannot be removed. Thunderbird downloaded my map configuration, after a new Thunderbird installation, from my online account/my internet provider which was OK. After that I removed all maps on my online account but the maps in Thunderbird is still there but out grayed and I cannot delete them?

I uninstalled Thunderbird and also removed Thunderbird associated maps under %AppData% and %LocalAppData% but when I do a new clean installation same maps shows up in Thunderbird again? I waited some days and did a new installation again, but same issue. I have also deleted everything in W11 cash memory.

Attached picture shows the out grayed "NyMapp and subfolders" I cannot delete. How do I get rid of those folders?

Any help is appreciated.

my new message page doesn't now have a box -top left -to restore edited/ corrected lines of script. When editing wholelines of script, even whole lines have diappeared. and couldn't be found, and not in draft. Advice would be very welcome. Thanks. Mike

Hello,

I am having an issue with Thunderbird automatically marking new emails as read.

When a new email arrives, it initially appears as unread in Thunderbird, but after a short time it automatically changes to read, even though I have not opened or clicked on the email.

I use Thunderbird on two computers – a desktop computer at the office and a laptop when working from home. The problem started after I installed and configured Thunderbird with the same email account on my laptop.

I have already disabled the “Automatically mark messages as read” option in Thunderbird. I have also repaired/reindexed the Inbox folder, but the problem remains.

The email account is configured using IMAP on the laptop.

An important detail: when I check the same emails in Gmail through a web browser, they are still marked as Unread. Only Thunderbird shows them as Read.

Could using the same email account in Thunderbird on two different computers be causing this issue? Could there be a synchronization or local Thunderbird setting that changes the read/unread status?

Could you please advise what I should check or change to fix this?

Thank you.
